The name is Mila, I'm the 19 year old daughter of our packs Beta. Got average height with long brown hair and brown eyes. I have parents and siblings but I'll introduce them another time.

Let me just give you a quick idea of how things go for our species, being werewolves. We shift once we're teenagers which can be scary and painful for our first time, but hurts less after that. We also can find our mates at 16 and though some don't, a lot have found them before they're out of their teen years.

I'm from the Silver Moon Pack which currently resides over the state of Oregon. As far as packs go, ours isn't too bad when it comes to size and strength. We have 345 members and most live within the same area. The pack grows and reduces with births and deaths but also when mates come and go.

We go to the same public primary and high school. The schools principal is a wolf as well as some teachers, this helps manage situations that may happen in front of humans and avoid us being discovered. The last thing we need is a situation getting out of hand because a human hit on someones mate and an unfair fight broke out.

There's also have people working in the town. The people who aren't warriors are welcome to work and earn an income doing any job they can get fairly. It works out well for casual patrol as well as members who aren't interested in being warriors, as they can become something else while still keeping an eye out.

We always have it that anyone above the age of 16 has to begin basic training so that even those who aren't warriors can defend themselves at least a little bit. If you work hard and want to be a warrior then your training increases and intensifies. All pack members must train regularly regardless to keep sharp though. Both your human and wolf form have to train.

Each state has a pack in it, that all range in size and strength. Of course run by their packs Alpha and Luna. Then you have the Beta who is second in charge when the Alpha isn't available. And of course a Gamma who is the third in charge. We also have other titles such as the Head warrior, Head Tracker, Pack Doctors and Elders.

Packs are like a big family, we still have drama and people who don't like each other but always band together if the need arises.

But of course not everyone wants to be in a pack or are welcome in one, so they become rogues. Not all rogues are bad and some even have a peace treaty with a packs Alpha so they can live away from the pack in that state but keep to themselves. But if a treaty is broken, there aren't any second chances. Breaking the treaty tends to be from doing something pretty serious though.

Then there are rogues who are plain bad wolves. Sadly some enjoy others pain then there are those who have left there pack after the loss of their mate and become aggressive.

That brings us to mates which is someone you're destined to be with. You can find your mate once you're 16 but it doesn't mean you will unless they're part of your pack already. But fate tends to make you cross paths at some point...

For mates to complete the process, they mark each other which will bring them closer and they can sense each other a bit as well as feeling the need to be closer to the other. Then to complete the process they actually mate and that makes it so that they can mind link regardless of joining the pack as well as fully sense each other emotions and well being.

I think I've told you as much as I can about our community for now, though there is plenty to know!

There are Vampires and other magical beings but most tend to keep to their own species.

So let me take you through my journey as I go through the ups and downs of life in the werewolf world.
