Introduction

Beta Ian’s Challenges

In the bustling streets of New York City, I, Beta Ian of the New York Pack of werewolves, fell in love with the girl of my dreams at seventeen years old. Unlike most werewolves, I was born a Beta. The Pack's second-in-command, .A Beta must have better skills than the Alpha because he needs to protect his Alpha at all costs. From the tender age of five, I was raised in the City's heart, surrounded by towering skyscrapers, bustling activities, and the constant hum of traffic. New York is the City I call home. My early life was filled with challenges.

As a Beta werewolf, I was expected to be strong, fiercely loyal, and always ready to defend my Pack. My parents, from Alpha generations, were strict and demanding, pushing me to my limits to ensure I would one day become a capable leader. However, despite their best intentions, I often felt overwhelmed and misunderstood. Like most New Yorkers, their background is migrants coming to the Big Apple for a better life for their families. They relocated in the early 1950s and became the Beta of the New York Pack, which already had an established Alpha generation. They became the Beta generation in their new Pack. Together, our family lived in harmony, supporting each other and building our enterprises to upgrade our Pack for what it is today. Our folks primarily owned Manhattan.

As the years passed, my restlessness grew. I yearned for something more than the concrete jungle that surrounded me. I longed for a connection, a sense of purpose that went beyond the confines of my Pack. Little did I know that fate had something extraordinary in store for me. Sometimes, my longing would take me to various places, but that unquenchable desire to find where and to whom I belong haunted me for years.

On a fateful night when I turned seventeen, I wandered through the City, seeking solace in the woods beyond all the business. Then, I caught a faint odour that stirred something deep within me. Following my instincts, I traced the smell to a stream where young ladies were shouting and playing with no concerns for danger or peril that could come upon them unexpectedly.

In this stream, I saw a young woman named Isabella, my abused fated mate. Isabella had been living a life of torment and pain all her young life, trapped in an abusive family relationship. Her spirit had been broken, and her hope shattered. But when I looked at her, I knew deep down that I had found my purpose.

With an assertive determination, I vowed to protect Isabella and help her heal from the scars of her past. I became her silent guardian, watching over her from the shadows and ensuring her safety. Slowly, with my unwavering support and love, Isabella began to find the strength to break free from her subconsciousness of an abused child and reclaim her life.

As a teenager, I knew Isabella wanted to find herself, her identity and if she still had biological parents. My love for her allowed her to go on a quest to find out if her identity lies in France; although we were far apart, she visited the Pack every holiday, and our relationship grew more assertive.

As our bond grew more powerful, I discovered Isabella possessed a strength and resilience that matched mine. Together, we embarked on a journey of healing and self-discovery, overcoming traumas and building a future.

Word of our remarkable story spread throughout the City, captivating the hearts and minds of all who heard it. Isabella and I became an inspiration, a symbol of hope for those who had lost their way. Our tale reminded everyone that love and determination can triumph over adversity, even in the darkest times.

I encountered many challenges, but the worst of them all was when my Fated Mate was unconscious and hospitalised, and I could not get to her. Living without her was worse than I could have imagined.

And so, as you read this tale of how a young Isabella and I continued to write our story, filled with courage, compassion, and the unwavering strength of our love. Our journey, forever etched in the hearts of those who heard it, served as a reminder that sometimes, the most extraordinary adventures begin with the simplest acts of kindness and the power of an unbreakable bond.
