My grandpa was born with burnt orange hair, he became Alpha at 24. He found his mate at 25, married and nine months later my mom was born.( just two months before his 26th birthday. ) He ruled as Alpha of our pack until my mother was 20.
He had hoped she would find her mate before she became the Alpha. My mother was born with emerald green hair, she had a sun kissed tan as well, but with her hair color made her look pale.
Grandpa handed the title of Alpha to my mother on her 20th birthday.
Grandpa helped if she needed it. After a year of ruling as Alpha my mother met my father. Now here's where my family bloodline can get confusing. My grandfather even with his burnt orange hair, looks like a normal werewolf - Tall, muscular built, but the truth is he is 3/4 (3 quarters) werewolf, a 1/4( 1quarter) fairy. My great grandmother was (1/2) half werewolf and (1/2) half fairy. My great grandfather was full blooded werewolf.
As a child, I loved hearing my grandfather tell stories about his mother. She was born with ruby red hair, had dark sea blue eyes, her skin was naturally tan. Standing 5'2" ( yup, short compared to my great grandfather's height) she could and would kick your ass if you did something wrong or got out of line.
Grandpa where is "G G" now ?. ( Great Grandmother ) I asked
She passed away right before you were born. My wife, your grandmother was a werewolf. So your mother is more werewolf with very little fairy in her blood. He told me. I was 6.
I once asked my father about his mother, she is a full-blooded vampire and my father was a werewolf.
So my father is (1/2) half werewolf, (1/2) part vampire. (most people don't believe my father should exist.)
