The start of the sad beginning

The Three Factions divided these divine lands. The struggle for power turned the most sane and beautiful creatures into ugly, power thirsty monsters. The top was undecided, but the bottom was clear. The Witch faction held the bottom and the weakest position of the Three Factions. The Witch Faction used to be at the top, and thrived in that position, until the other two Factions decided that the Witches were too powerful and needed to be stopped. Both of the Factions against the Witch's Factions, concluded to put bounties on their heads. By not getting their hands dirty, and allowing peasants to collect rewards for the witches lives brought an ugly new era upon them. By the sudden event and the betrayal of their own kind, this led to the downfall of the Witch Faction. 100 years later, no more witches were found, or left to be hunted. That's what the two Factions that were left, believed.

50 years after the Witches went "extinct", the two Factions left waged war against each other to be on top. Spilled, rotten blood, spoiled between the two Factions. These two Factions were none other than the Werewolf Faction and the Vampire Faction.

But this is no history book, this is a story of how one hybrid disgrace, brought the remaining and hidden Factions together, but no story starts with a happy beginning, Ivy's was no exception.

Ivy's life was doomed before it even began, starting with her parents mistakes. The Alpha of Crimson Blood Pack, had an affair with a Vampire war slave behind his mates back. The man was grieved knowing that his mate couldn't conceive children, making him think any woman would do to give him an heir, since he hated the idea of not having a hereditary heir. He was blinded by anxiety to even realize what would happen with the woman he chose upon. Or the child for that matter.

When the Alpha's mate caught wind of what was happening behind her back, she made a plan. She took the woman from her husbands sleeping chamber, and abandoned her in rogue territory on her way to the market. the slave understood the woman's wishes. With the Madam threatening her never to come back, even with child, the Vampire scattered into the forest, to not be seen again.

Nine months later, the baby girl was born out of wedlock. The mother looked at the baby for the first time, disgust, pain, and blood lust evident in her face. She screamed and wailed at the nurses, telling them to just kill the baby of her harasser. No one made a move. All eyes on the baby, either disgust, pity, or calculative looks on their faces. No one tried to hide their emotions, the only emotion lacking was love.

Only a month in, the mother couldn't stand the constant neediness in her daughter, or the crying she would get when she was left alone in the house for hours to days alone. She finally had enough. She beat the baby into submission, but the baby never cried from the beating, she never flinched at the belt wailing her back, or the foot jabbing or stepping on her side. She cried because she could already tell her mother hated her at such a young age, for a reason she didn't know.

After the baby grew up to be two years old, barely able to manage by herself, the mother decided to end this. She thought the only way to find happiness and her mate was to get rid of the obstacle and last memory of her most painful memories.

She grabbed the baby girl, storming out of the house with anger and relief evident in her eyes, throwing the girl into the back seat of her car, and started to drive.

No one spoke, but Ivy could feel the terrible event that was soon to happen. She knew it was either escape, or get killed. She knew she couldn't die yet, even if she loved her mother, she valued her own life over her mother's hatred for her.
