chapter one: best to start at the beginning

'alex... alex.. alexander!' he'd tried to ignore her call but it was too strong. he turned to face the woman he had trusted with his life for so long. the woman that had betrayed him. she was looking at him sadly. her face weathered with age and sadness as she floated to him.

'you had a destiny here, and his was to be the change. the last furyan. i could not destroy you, or allow you to be destroyed. you have to understand i never met to hurt you alexander. it could not be avoided.' she whispered, touching his face. he shifted away from the once comforting touch of the woman he had called his grandmother.

she had raised him, taught him to be strong. then left him to his abusive adopted parent. that was betrayal enough in the young furyan's mind. but he could see she was making him worthy of what he was. the last bearer and mate to richard b. riddick. or so he had hoped.

he had followed her words and hide his abilities when the slayer had arrived. the demonic populace had been relieved, but he had lost his blood

other to them. jesse. thinking of him

ought an ache to the young man's heart. and now she tells him riddick had sacrificed so much to

ing about the change. he had lost the child he had, in the deepest part of his mind, thought of as his. riddick who he had never known about.

he had thought he was the last of his kind for so long because of this woman. this woman who looked so saddened by his rejection of her love. he could no longer consider her his grandmother, not after what she had revealed. he never had the chance to be what riddick needed and now he never would. she refused to

ing him to where he belonged.

'he is too far gone alexander. he could not handle the revelation of your very being. it is far kinder to both of you to keep things as they remain.' she said. he glared.

"if you won't

ing me to where i belong then leave elemental. i will never forgive you and my children shall know of your betrayal and deceit." he growled, sounding reminiscent to the hyena he had shared his body with. she had been alpha. the mother and he shared her status. the remnants of the solider he had become for that halloween urged him to take revenge. she looked at him sadly, remembering the laughing child she had seen to, had provided the training he needed to become the furyan he was.

'i apologize my grandchild of heart. i wish i could return you to a time before he was so

oken, but alas i cannot. be happy. the souled vampire has loved you. he aches from the rejection that caused him to pursue the slayer.' she replied. he snorted.

"leave elemental." he commanded. he knew when she obeyed. he could no longer feel her and he sat on his sofa, grieving for the man he could have loved but now would never get to, and remembering the man he had rejected because of reasons he didn't understand..

*flashback*

he could feel his watchers eyes, smell their scent, their arousal at what they saw as he fought the demon who had thought they could rid the world of the fury. he may have only been 14 in human years but his kind matured a hell of a lot quicker. he knew he was putting off pheromones calling worthy mates.

the demon went down quickly and alex smirked at the body. the demonic populace were no challenge, not really, but he could feel them preparing for something. after whisperings of a slayer arriving he had found out about the teen who, with the right training, could be a great warrior. his observer stepped from the shadows.
