Chapter 1: Birth of the Wolf
Ethan Black had come into the world in a family marked by tradition. Jacob's older brother by a year, he had grown up in La Push, a small but rich reserve in history and legends. Since he was young, Ethan had always been special, but no one would have guessed what fate had in store for him.
Ethan had a relatively peaceful childhood. Since childhood, he was a happy child, surrounded by nature and the myths that seemed to be part of daily life in the reserve. His family was known, not only for his lineage, but for the deep connection to the ancestral stories of the wolves. However, no one had warned him that his life would change radically at such a young age
At age 11, tragedy struck the Blacks. A car accident took the life of his mother and left his father, Billy, confined to a wheelchair. This heartbreaking event changed Ethan forever. Where before he had been a carefree child, he now became the protector of his family. The loss of his mother forced him to mature suddenly, and that serious and responsible attitude he adopted began to define him
It was during those years, when his character was forged under the weight of responsibility, that Bella Swan. came into his life. After her parents' divorce, Bella began visiting Forks during the summers. Although she spent most of her time with Jacob, there was always something about Ethan that intrigued her. While Jacob was cheerful and fun, Ethan had a more serious and mature presence, a burden that Bella could not ignore. Bella and Ethan became friends, but what she felt for him went far beyond simple friendship. Bella secretly admired Ethan; She saw him as a strong and resilient young man, someone who, despite everything, kept going for the good of her family. In those calm moments, when the sun set over the forests of La Push, Bella felt her heart race every time she saw him. During one fleeting summer, their paths intertwined beyond friendship, and though it was brief, it left a deep mark on them both
However, despite the connection they shared, Ethan never allowed his feelings to dominate him. . He knew Bella would return to Phoenix, and he had too many responsibilities at La Push. So, although the attraction between them was palpable, Ethan kept his emotional distance, not allowing himself to delve into what could have been. As Ethan grew older, something else began to change in him. At the age of 16, physical transformations began to manifest. His body, which was already strong and athletic due to his lifestyle, began to change inexplicably. His musculature became more defined, and a supernatural strength began to emerge from him. What were at first subtle changes, such as unusual speed and strength, soon became evident to everyone around him. The young Black was now an imposing, almost superhuman presence. No one could understand what was happening to him, except perhaps his father and the village chiefs, who seemed to observe these changes more calmly. The La Push leaders, in particular, shared looks of concern and ancient wisdom whenever Ethan demonstrated his growing abilities. They knew something that not even he knew, something that had been hidden for generations in the tribe's legends. The bosses and his own father didn't immediately tell him what they knew, but Ethan sensed something dark and deep was at play. He had heard the stories of his lineage, of the great wolves that once protected La Push and of the legends of men capable of turning into giant beasts, but he never thought that this could be real, much less that he was a part of it. As time went by, the pieces began to fall into place. The bosses secretly knew Ethan's fate. They knew that he was no ordinary wolf. He was destined for something much greater, something that had been written in the stars and in the blood of his lineage. They knew that what was happening to him was no coincidence or chance. Ethan was the descendant of a forgotten legend, a power that had lain dormant for generations, and soon, this power would come to light. As his physique transformed, his mind also became sharper. Ethan began to notice things he had previously overlooked: the smells in the air, the sounds beyond human ability. It was as if the world was opening up to him in a completely new way, and this filled him with a mixture of wonder and fear
There was something wild awakening inside him, something that not even he himself could fully control.
