Lycans were the first wolf shifters ever created, brought into existence by the Moon Goddess herself roughly five hundred years ago. Every werewolf alive was descended from them in some way. A Lycan bite could turn an ordinary human into a werewolf, and any children that werewolf had would be born as wolves too. That was how it all began.
Lycans were made to rule and guide, their wolves larger and stronger than anything that came after them. But werewolves outnumbered them within two hundred years and pushed for shared power. That was how Alpha blood came to exist. Each original werewolf the Lycan families had turned chose what they believed to be the strongest bloodline available and built a hierarchy from it. That structure created the King and the packs that formed around his rule, Blood Moon, Half Moon and Full Moon being the closest to the crown.
