Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

1093 Chapter 78- The Dalton Series Part 1 (VOLUME 6)

This is a series of articles that were written by the reporter, Elijah Dalton, of the New York times. He had a special that featured the members of the super natural community and the nonhumans that live among us. He researched in detail as much as he was able to about these people, and has done all that he could to provide that information to the world at large.

The term werewolf is not new to this world. It did not come into existence when Reece and Trinity Gray appeared on a global broadcast to tell the world of their true origins and species. The word dates back for centuries.

There are many forms of the word werewolf. Werwolf, weerwolf, werewulf, lycanthrope, lukánthrōpos, Vovkulaka, waer-?l, wira-wulfaz, and so many more. There is a word in nearly every language on the planet that means werewolf or wolf man. There are, likewise, legends from almost every culture that speak about men turning into wolves or other beasts. If the appearance of the Gray family and the people like them was a new phenomenon, then why would the stories date back until nearly the beginning of mankind?

In the earliest of texts, there are stories of men that became animals. In cave paintings, there are depictions of men transforming into beasts of wolfish appearance. In hieroglyphics you can see images of men and women becoming felines and wolves. These legends are not new, and yet there are people today that seem to think that these people are new to our world.

The only thing that is new here, is the knowledge that they weren’t just myths and legends, but real people that we see everyday. Celebrities, famous rich philanthropists, everyday people. These people have been here as long as we have. They have been living among us since the dawn of time.

Recently, I watched an interview on Good Morning America with Trinity and Reece Gray. They received a call from a man that asked about when the monsters stopped killing people. This misguided soul wanted to blame the Grays and their community for all the people that go missing in the world. He forgets that humans can be the bigger monsters in this world.

Now, when Trinity and Reece Gray gave their response, they spoke about the dark ages, back when we humans last knew about the creatures that went bump in the night. At that time, there was no unity among their people. They had clans and packs (groups of the animal shifters that are guided by a central figure known as an Alpha), but the various groups were all in it for themselves. One pack didn’t help another. If a pack needed help from another, they had to sign a fealty treaty with them. And if you would believe it, there are legal records of these treaties that can be found in various European government systems, if you look deep enough, that is. They made these treaties as legally binding as possible.

Now, what would happen when there was a treaty signed? Well, that weaker Alpha and his pack would receive protection and aid from the stronger pack. If the stronger Alpha had an enemy attacking his territory, then the sworn pack was called in to aid the other troops. It was a give and take situation, and it happened a lot throughout history. From what I gather, even twenty years ago they had fealty packs, not that there were wars among packs anymore, it was just a tradition that stayed on for generations.

.....

Also, I have looked into how things were between the humans and the super naturals during the dark ages. Of course, written records are hard to come by, but they are out there. There is a place known as the Sentinelle, located in a former Abbey in France. They have an archive that is so extensive it would make any library in the world jealous. And these records indicate that the human to super natural death ratio from that time was one to four. For every human life that was killed during that time, four nonhumans had been killed. You can understand then, that the reason the super naturals fought back was self-preservation. They had no choice.

All throughout history, I can find no record of any mass deaths that were actually directly linked to the nonhuman community of the world. There have been no mass Vampire killings in any village, just diseases that took their toll on the people of the villages when most didn’t understand how medicine and science worked. Vampires, who were known to the world at that time, were blamed because no one knew who else to blame.

There has been no mass deaths associated with werewolves, weretigers, werelions, werebears, witches, warlocks, the Fae, or any other group. There has, however, been plenty of records of their people suffering at the hands of humans.

And before anyone starts bringing up the Salem Witch Trials, that wasn’t even for the witches. It was a time in our history where people didn’t understand that the world needed to change, and that science was not witchcraft. From what I could find, there were no actual magic users that died during that time. However, I am sure that all the witches and warlocks of the time lived in constant fear that they would be discovered.

As you can all likely see, and agree with me, there has been nothing in history that has proven that we need to be scared of these people. They might not be human, but they are still people. They still love, get married, have children, and live normal lives. When it comes to things like that, we are all the same.

Now, Reece and Trinity Gray are household names. They have been that way for longer than the last four weeks since they revealed what they were to the world. Reece was a billionaire playboy when he was just eighteen years old. His father died in an accident and he was forced to take over at a young age.

Reece succeeded in his duties though, while still attending university, he managed to make his business thrive and prosper. He not only ran the company, but tripled its profits and revenue during his first two years in charge. And by the time that he was twenty-five, he was the richest man in the world.

Now, that accident that killed Reece’s father, I dug deeper into that incident. Knowing that he was not human, there had to be a reason that the man was not around for his son, right? Then again, I was sure that a werewolf would still die if he was in a truly horrific car accident, I had my doubts here. And I was right about it as well.

Collin Gray had been a successful businessman, a devoted husband, and a dedicated father. He had it all, just like his son does now. What he didn’t have at the time though, was peace. Remember those fealty packs that I mentioned in my last article? Well, there were several of those that were sworn to the pack that Collin Gray was the Alpha of.

Yes, not only did Reece Gray take over his father’s business when he was only eighteen, he took over their pack as well. He was leading so much that if it had been me, I would have folded and collapsed under the pressure. He didn’t though, the young man thrived and pushed through it all.

Now, there was an uprising while Collin Gray was the Alpha. He and his brother, along with some other members of their pack, went to confront the other pack that was causing issues. Apparently, that fealty pack wanted more land because they had lost a lot to other packs in other disputes.

Collin, being the fair man that he was, tried to handle the issue civilly, but that wasn’t what happened. He and his brother both died in that incident, leaving Reece and his cousin Riley with no fathers and to take over their packs at young ages.

Here is where things get interesting though. Reece’s mother and father were so in love with each other, so devoted to each other, that Lila Gray ended up falling into a catatonic state after her husband perished. Not only did Reece lose his father, but his mother as well. She was alive, but she was locked away in her own mind for seven years.

It wasn’t until Reece’s mate, his future wife Trinity, snuck into his mother’s room and spoke to her did the woman come out of her shell and wake up. If that isn’t a show of how deeply the werewolves can love someone, then I don’t know what is. How can you call someone that is willing to help so many other people a monster? How can you call a woman that loved her husband so deeply that it very nearly destroyed her, a monster? That is just preposterous in my opinion. These people love, feel, bleed, and die just like we do, and they deserve our respect just like any other person on the planet.

How much love do Trinity and Reece Gray have to offer? Well, more than the average couple, that is for sure. They have embraced and accepted all types of people in their lives. When their friend, Ella, met and mated with a human, they didn’t ostracize her. They didn’t kick her out of the pack. No, they welcomed her new beau with open arms. And when the man wanted to become one of them, they allowed it as well. The only person on this planet that can turn someone into a werewolf is Reece Gray, and he agreed to do this for only four people so far. Four people in twenty years.

I have spoken to two of these people that have converted to being werewolves. They wanted to remain anonymous, so I will only be referring to them with their initials. B and R are from California and have known about the world of nonhumans for the last twenty years. They found out about them near the end of the year 2021. As it turns out, their best friends at the time, who I will call O and M, were not human. They were, in fact, members of the sea shifters. This would lead me to think that they were possibly merfolk. I have learned of their existence during my research as well.

Now, B and R were human, but they accepted their friends and their unconventional way of life. They even lived with them for a long time. The duo met Reece Gray at a swimming tournament where they learned that he wasn’t human either. They went on to work for Reece Gray after university and later became werewolves. The reason for this was because they wanted to remain with O and M for a long time, they considered the other duo their brothers. Also, B and R were a couple that wanted a longer life together.

This story with B and R, as well as O and M, have such a sentimental and emotional element to it that I can’t help but want to root for them. They were a great duo and I was so happy to see that they were able to have this wonderful life together, and that they were so personally linked to Trinity and Reece Gray.

Another thing about inclusivity that Trinity and Reece Gray show that a lot of others don’t, is that they do not care about your sexual orientation. One of Trinity’s close personal friends and guards is a man that is married to the Vampire King. They are a mated couple that was fated to be together, and will be together until the end of their days. O and M as well as their friends B and R that I mentioned earlier are also same sex couples. They are very welcoming and open people. They have so much love to give the world, their friends, and their children.

At the moment, Trinity and Reece Gray have seven children. Twins Reagan and Rika. Talia, who was born a few years later. Quadruplets Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley, who just turned eleven. And now another baby on the way that will bring them up to eight total children. It must be hard, but even with all that the power couple has going on in their lives, they are often seen out and about with their kids. They are very dedicated parents. And rumor has it that the children are very loved, well-adjusted, and very smart. They would have to be, growing up in such an amazing household.

The whole moral and point of this article today is that, no matter who you are, this power couple will always be there for you. They help people through charities. They send low-income children to college, at no cost to them. They are very giving people that want to do nothing more than live peacefully and make the world a better place. Their love for life and people is only going to be an asset to us all, if we can just let them be themselves and go about their lives peacefully like they want to.
