Eric
The zeme pack had gone into disarray and so both the Vandens and Gaisro packs rushed to get the chance to take it over. It was decided that the younger generation of lycans would pick the new alpha.
I along with Marie and Peter was sent to the pack as a potential alpha from the Vandens pack. We met Carrie, Marcia, and Xavier from the Gaisro pack when we got there. It was assumed that if an alpha found their mate in the Zeme pack they would take control. Both packs were hoping for a mated pair from one of their alphas and one of them got it.

Dan
We were still going to school after my friend Pete died. It was hard. I was there and saw the brutal killing of 52 pack members including my friend Mike and his mate Pete. I never wanted a mate if that's what would happen to you if you were gay. Which I was.
Mike and I had shifted for the first time together. We were supposed to be finishing our senior year together. Being two of the oldest in senior year and having the same birthday kept us close. He told me of his mate when we first shifted and I told him to wait to tell Pete until he was 18 or he shifted. Both happened on the same day. Being 18 and gay was hard when you couldn't be with anyone else in the pack without the worry of getting killed.
We were told that 6 alphas were going to be joining our pack from the Gaisro and Vandens pack to see who would take over. The elders in the pack were running it for now and they were hoping for a mated pair so that our pack would not be overrun by the other 2.
I kept my head down and didn't look for trouble but it always had a way of finding me. Trouble came in the form of a 6'2 dude with shaggy blonde hair dark brown eyes. He was completely toned and happened to be one of the alphas coming to take over. He was also my mate.

Eric
I was the one destined to be mated to a man. He was gorgeous standing at 5'8 with a runners build black hair and green eyes hidden behind thick black frames that were unusual for a Lycan.
I was barely able to walk by him without mauling him but I managed. I knew we had to keep this a secret or the both of us would be dead. The thought made me snarl and although I knew I was right I wasn't happy with it.
