It was a dark, snowy night somewhere in Russia. A small grey car was driving through the forest, the girl inside desperately trying to find the road on the map her grandmother had given her. Irina was on her way to her grandmother, Karen's house to stay with her and her uncle, Adrian, during the Christmas holidays. It had been 5 years since she saw them at her home in Manchester and she was 21 now. Unfortunately Karen lived far from the capital in a smaller village deep in the vast forests of Russia and the map she had been given seemed to be old.

Now here she was in the middle of the forest and had been driving for 19 hours with no luck nor any cell service. Go visit your grandmother that lives in the middle of nowhere, they said, driving there on your own in the dark is going to be fun, they said. Irina was grumpy and hungry after driving for so long. Suddenly the car slowed and stopped, it had run out of gas. "Great" she said sarcastically. Irina got out of the car in frustration, she cursed loudly and leaned against the car in defeat with tears brimming in her eyes. What if no one would find her out here, she thought panicking.

It was dark with no lights on the road except the headlights on her car and she was scared that she may be attacked by some wild animal. Suddenly she heard footsteps coming from the forest line and her heart started racing. This is it, she thought I'm going to get eaten. She focused her eyes on the shadow that was coming nearer and a tall figure came in to view. Now she was scared for real, what if it was a murderer or something. She took a few steps back ready to run for her life. The figure also took a few steps forward but she could still not see who or what it was clearly.

But then she smelled something heavenly coming from the direction of the dark figure, drawing her to it. Irina stopped moving for a moment, feeling confused as to why she became so drawn to the figure all of a sudden. The figure stepped into the light of her car and she saw a man before her, a very big, muscular man but damn was he a handsome one. His hair was a chocolate brown, longer at the top and shorter on the back and his eyes were an enchanting lilac. He hade very sharp features and a five o clock shadow could be seen on his chin and jaw. There was even a smal scar coming up from the right side of his jaw on his sun kissed skin.

Irina was in aw of this man but he still made her feel very small when she stood in front of him. She and her family were very short, she was only 1.53 cm in height. He started walking towards her slowly, almost in a daze, towering over her more and more with each step until he was right in front of her. Her head didn't even reach his shoulder and she had to crane her neck to look him in the eyes.

Both of them just stood there, looking at each other until Irina finally came back to reality. A strange, big man was standing in front of her, his expression was serious and cold and he was just staring at her. Her thoughts started running wild in Irina's head. What if he is going to kill me now? Do I run? But look at the size of this guy, I can't out run that! Maybe he is a nice guy just living out here in isolation like grandma? No why would a guy like him live out here if he wasn't sketchy? OMG! I'm going to die! While all those thoughts were running through her head she hadn't noticed her tears that had started to fall from her eyes.

Alexander had been out to patrol the borders of his kingdom, Zinor, to check that no rouges or dark witches were causing trouble when he heard a loud curse. At first he thought it was someone trying to break the barriers of protection of his kingdom and prepared himself to fight. But when he smelt a mouthwatering aroma he knew what it meant. His search for his soulmate was finally over. Alexander was a werewolf, meaning he had a soulmate he could recognize by scent. He walked towards the scent and found a small woman in a red jacket. When she heard him she rapidly turned to him and he saw the cutest woman he had ever seen.

She had big, brown, almond eyes and a cute nose that was perfect for her heart shaped face. Her lips were pouty and full, opened slightly in surprise. He could see her long brown hair cascading down her shoulders to her waist which complimented her olive skin beautifully.

He recognized her to be a nymph but did not understand why she was driving outside of Zinor's barriers of protection. Nymphs never tended to venture out of Zinor. What was even stranger to Alexander was that she did not seem to notice that Zinor was right in front of her.

He started to walk towards her but when he did she moved back. It confused Alexander as he had been raised to believe that when one found their soulmate it was one of the happiest times in ones life. He thought that maybe she had not smelt his sent yet and he was right. When she noticed Alexander's scent she stopped moving back but she still seemed confused. Alexander took the opportunity to move closer to the nymph. He was sure he looked creepy just standing there and admiring her but he didn't care. After so many years of waiting for her Alexander wanted to treasure this moment with his soulmate. That's when he saw the tears rolling down her cheek and he started to panic. " What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"I was on my way to my grandmother's house, but my car is out of gas and I can't call her. And then you came out of the woods and I thought you would kill me, but you just stood there and…and" Irina rambled in panic not really sure of what was coming out of her mouth.

"Hey calm down, I'm not going to kill you" Alexander said trying to get her to stop crying.

"You won't?" She asked sniffling.

"Of course I won't, what's your name?"

Irina took some deep breaths to calm herself down and answered "Irina, who are you?"

"I'm Alexander, you can stay with me for the night and call your grandmother about your situation. Tomorrow I can get someone to fix your car. Does that sound good to you?" He asked hoping that she would agree. Alexander wanted to spend as much time with Irina as possible.

Even though she was apprehensive Irina couldn't explain why she felt extremely safe with Alexander. But was utterly shocked when he picked her up. "Wait just one second here mister, what do you think you are doing?" She asked alarmed. Never in her life had a man picked her up like this.

"I'm taking you to my home. Walking would take too long and you are already freezing. I apologize for not asking for your permission first" before she could answer Alexander ran so fast all she could see was trees pas by in a blur and closed her eyes in fear. How in the world is it possible for him to run this fast? She thought to herself. Just a minute later he stopped and Irina felt like she had left her insides with her car. When she opened her eyes she could not believe what she saw. In front of her stood a big castle surrounded by a beautiful town but that wasn't what surprised her it was the people that did. Some had wings, some had red eyes, some were super tall and some were very short. Never in her life had Irina seen people like these. She turned to him in confusion and amazement. "What is this place and what are these people?"

Alexander was confused as well. How could Irina not know about the kingdom of supernaturals if she herself was one. Was it possible that she didn't know who she was? Even so he thought her amazement was adorable. "Welcome to Zinor, Irina, the kingdom of the supernaturals. And they are the supernaturals."

Supernaturals? How is that possible? Where have they been all this time then?... The questions were flying through her head but even so she couldn't formulate a single sentence, but there was one thing she managed to ask Alexander. "So who are you really?"

"I am Alexander Tagavor and also the king of Zinor" Alexander told her proudly. Oh my goodness he is king but that means he is a supernatural too that explains how fast he was running. But what supernatural could he be? "Are you wondering what supernatural I am?" Alexander asked.

"Yes but how did you know what I was thinking? Wait, can you read minds?" Irina's hand flew up to her head as if to protect her thoughts making Alexander chuckle.

"No love, I can't but I guessed that that's what you wanted to know by your intense staring." Hearing that Irina blushed, she hadn't realized that she was staring at him. "To answer your question, I am a werewolf."
