Time moved on, as it should always do, and Erik grew up. Not only did he but so did the twins and their pack, with the addition of new members and a new territory, at the age of 19 he was a very powerful magic user.
Let's trace back a little, okay?
The very day the twins and Erik met the four newly turned werewolves Neil, Jordan, Paiga, and the human newly introduced to the Supernatural world Janna, was the day something changed. Three kids who were in the known about the shit going on with them? Of course they asked questions, and Ethan and Aiden held him the entirety of said conversation, growling whenever one of the adults got close to their Emissary Erik who would only smile back at them. The transformed adults were not really considering joining the pack of three kids, their wolves refusing to even consider them Alphas, seeing them as puppies alone and wanting to play with them (Weirdly enough), but one bad wake up call followed by a rescue mission was what helped them.
Hunters.
Well, three hunters got their inexperienced newly turned acquaintances, resulting on Janna seeking their help, Erik used the spell [Find] to find them while Ethan and Aiden used their nose to search up for the smell of the newly turned wolves, this led them to an abandoned wooden shack in the middle of the forest, where they met with the three hunters who were torturing the newly turned wolves to find information about their Alpha. Well, the twins ripped the throat out of two of them while burned one alive without hesitation, which showed how ruthless they were! By that time Erik had already unlocked knowledge on both Divination and Necromancy respectively, so he used the spell [Rot] to make so the bodies would decompose faster- At an accelerated pace. After that they now knew why they needed a pack, why they needed an Alpha, which resulted on Neil, the taller man, challenging Aiden and Ethan for their Alpha status because they were kids who didn't have to carry that burden.
He was down in less than five seconds.
The twins literally fused together and became one larger Alpha wolf and they brought the guy down to his back in a single move, making the wolf man submit easily. Things started to slowly improve from there- Erik had the plan to be "adopted" by the newly wed couple of Janna and Paiga, while Aiden and Ethan were adopted by the couple Nile and Jordan. It took him a month to raise his skills with hacking to the point where he was confident he wouldn't leave any traces behind, he made their fake birth certificate, created the marriage certificate for both couples to be at least an year old before he made some other necessary documents- In the end, they were kow officially Erik Henderson and Aiden and Ethan Etowah, sons of Janna and Paiga Henderson and Neil and Jordan Etowah respectively.
The next big thing is education- Erik had gone through school once in his life, so he took tests and studied, easily bashing through Middle School and was at High School level, so he helped both Aiden and Ethan who were not even on kindergarten level yet. They learned fast, faster than Erik did when he was their age in his last life, they were learning so fast that e increased what they had to learn and watched in amazement as they absorbed it like sponges. With time on his side, Erik focused on his magic, the magics that caught his eyes the most were Necromancy and Transmutation, which were both really interesting due to them leading him to two powerful skills but that's beside the point! Necromancy meant he could ressurect the dead in the future, and Transmutation meant he could create or transform metals into gold! His training was focused on these two magics, but he did not abandon his other skills, always practicing and playing with the twins with illusions, teaching them as much as he could, helping them develop skills.
Then it happened- Something he didn't expect at all! He got the skill [Supernatural Senses] when he last expected! Something supernatural related happened that he didn't expect- Mates. Apparently both Aiden and Ethan are his Mates? They just chose him, because that's what wolves do, they chose their mates! Like how Neil and Jordan chose each other and Paga chose Janna!
When he learned of this information, he was shocked, which unlocked the skill [Occultism], which unlocked the skill [Supernatural Knowledge], which unlocked the skill [Supernatural Senses] all in one go! What he didn't expect as well was when he unlocked a very unique and powerful skill- Embodiment of Change, it gave him the title and the skill, the title gave him another title and that title gave him another skill as well! Skill [Embodiment of Change] gave him title [Embodiment of Change], which gave him the title [God of Change], which gave him the skill [Divine]. This changed his race to God but he could shapeshift into a human, hiding away his divine form that was... Chaotic to say the least. It was several pieces of different beings at the same time, always changing and becoming something else.
Anyway, after this Awakening, he and his pack became the strongest pack in Alaska! Their lands and territory increased to a good portion of the state, their name even stretched to the rest of the world! Three years after the pack was established wss when the first visitor came, an Alpha and three Betas, previously their name was spresd due to his magical abilities, so they came here in hopes they could get a favor from him or msybe take him home with them! So what they did? The Alpha challenged the twins for him- An Alpha challenged two other Alphas for their mate.
The result was bloody, the Alpha was just a piece of flesh on the ground after, almost completely dead until Erik used [Spare the Dying] on him and stopped his wounds from bleeding, making so he had to heal every single damage he took slowly, not able to die! The words of goodbye Erik gave them was "Your alpha will live, but he'll scar. He should be dead, but i won't alloe him the relief." And like that, they ran! That night the twins didn't leave his room, not that he minded since they slept most of the nights together, but he had to set some boundaries once the touching got too much- He promised he'd let them claim him once they were 18, which meant he would be 19 by then.
The second visitor came three days later- A small group of three, an Alpha, a Beta, and their Emissary, a Witch. Alpha Elena came looking for Erik's magical abilities- Rumors say he can find others, wields the elements on his fingers, and can even stop inevitable death! "I want you to help me finding my Mate." News was that Elena's Mate was taken by hunters three days ago, she's from Canada and came all the way to them once her Emissary was unable to find him alone: "Well, if you're willing to form an alliance." Was Aiden's answer and Ethan nodded, Erik was proud of them for thinking of alliances! Five days later, he found the Alpha's Mate, in the fight to get him back he was shot and died, he was only human so Erik managed to bring him back to life by using the spell [Revive] which used all his energy because he had been fighting a long and arduous battle. The alpha was so moved that she declared a Blood Alliance, this was a serious, serious thing, like- Until both their names are completely lost in time serious!
And this was only the beginning for them.
Alaska also had a settlement of Fae creatures, Dryads, Nymphs, and other woodland and nature spirits, and they all took a liking to Erik because of the title he unlocked: [High Druid] came to him in an experimental use of the spell [Druidcraft], where he was trying to focus on the feeling of the small connection he had to nature, once he opened himself to Nature he got the title [Druid], but he upgraded that title by simply being a God, which would've granted him the divinity of Nature but he wasn't strong enough to have two divinities so he got the mext best thing: [Nature's Beloved] title, which made everything that has a connection to nature like him! The title gave him the skill with the same name, which granted him intimate knowledge of aspects of nature that he couldn't even think about before! It was amazing, he could speak to an Ancient Forest spirit about nature for days on end snd not get tired at all!
He even spoke to the Queen of the Spring Court of the Seelie Fey about spring and impressed her with his knowledge of spring, he understood things that not even Feys born under the court kf spring understood! He spoke to the Queen of the Summer Court of the Seelie Fey about summer, telling her little details and secrets that surprised her, he spoke to the Queen of the Autumn Court of the Unseelie Fey about Autumn, and he even spoke to the Queen of the Winter Court of the Unseelie Fey about winter and its frozen end that she declared him her best keeper of knowledges, which made all the other queens declare him the same, which granted him the title [Keeper of Knowledge], which granted him the skill with the same name that helped him a lot. This skill granted him access to a mental library, where all knowledge he had was stored inside, so he could easily find anything he seeks!
The next visitors were more and more Alphas and their Emissary, seeking his wisdom and seeking to meet the Twin Terrors, as they were called in rumors and stories, and to test their strength and might. It was interesting to say the least, how many druids and witches were amazed by his knowledge on magic, or how some were jealous and wanted his secrets- Many alliances were made, but Elena's pack, the Hera Pack were their sibling pack, blood of their blood! So, when they got the news that one of them was killed in a confrontation with a hunter, both Aiden and Ethan declared war on the family responsible for such vile act!
In less than a week the Everlasting, as ironically was their name, were all eliminated from the face of this earth. Their bodies were dragged through the ground and given to Erik, who raised them ss undead before the eyes of many, declaring how they didn't deserve the peace of death, condemned to be neither alive nor dead, and to serve those they wronged in life with their undeath. It was creepy? It definitely was, but all the 34 members of the family that were active hunters were raised as undead monsters and all their souls were shoved in their undead corpses just to make sure they have their punishment! It wss like their souls were possessing their dead bodies, they couldn't leave and had to obey every order of those around them, as that was Erik's magic rule for them. That day, more rumors were spread and he became known as a man who could control death and life, and to an extent he could so.
His power only grew as more people knew of him, and time passed as he grew.
His magic was his main focus, mostly Necromancy and Transmutation, and he learned so much about them! He mastered both aspects of these schools and all knowledge this system could give him, now it was up to him to learn more on his own, he knew even how to become a Lich himself, but he won't do so.
Many omegas and other betas wanted to enter their pack, but Erik had a say on that so he used it to read and analyze their future, thanks to his [Seer] title and skill to see the future and determined if they would be a gold addition to the family. Because that's what their pack is, a family! They grew, in age, maturity, and power, and after skme struggles here and there, they were respected Alphas in the supernatural world!
And then, a particular someone came to meet them- Peter Hale. It happened a few weeks before Aiden's and Ethan's 18th birthday and the day they'd be allowed to claim Erik as their own, and the man's request was peculiar, and his conviction was so great he was willing to sell his soul to him- Which is something people did in the past.
His request?
"I want you to bring back my family. I'll give you anything for it."
