CHAPTER 1
Here’s the Thing… I’m not Your Typical Fairy Godmother
Well hello, my darling readers! I am Savannah Silverwand, your Fairly Goddess Mother, and I’m popping in before our story begins. I must tell you a little backstory about our heroine, Sesi. From time to time, I’ll also pop in during the duration of the story to explain magical terms. And since I am who I am, I’ll throw out the occasional sarcastic pun for good measure, because that’s how I roll.
Without getting too far ahead of ourselves, I’m sure you want to know a bit about my name—as in, what’s the difference between a Fairy Godmother and a Fairly Goddess Mother? Well, I’m glad you asked! I, like a Fairy Godmother, am gifted with magic. However, I’m immortal in a demigoddess kind of way.
My counterpart lives a full and rewarding life far longer than any normal human, but fairies eventually perish. It’s a natural thing for normal fairies, where I’m more like anexistentialist ideal.
At least that’s how Lilith, you know, the one Adam broke up with before getting with Eve, explained it to me. Lilith made me after she became a goddess herself. Technically, she’s the Queen of the Damned and not really a goddess. The other gods don’t count her as one, but since she made me, she’s very much a goddess in my book. I coined the phrase demigoddess after she made me. Yup—that’s right! Your mythology class got it all wrong.
Given I’m a demigoddess, I’m not as big of a deal, which is why I’m only fairly goddess material. Yeah, so, putting it simply? The Moon Goddess won’t let me have groupies who worship me. She enjoys having shifters who are only praying to her. Of course, that isn’t the entire story. I’m a pure demigoddess. But once Lilith became the Queen of the Damned, demigods were born of mixed magical breeds. Lilith didn’t want them to have a lot of power for fear that Yudi would take her children for his own. So, as you can see, it’s complicated, and I won’t bore you with the thought process because it’d make your head spin, for sure.
So instead—let’s get to the fun part! You and I will become very acquainted with one another because I’m here to lead you into an intriguing story about a strong, sharp-witted, and street-smart alpha female named Sesi. Yeah, technically she’s a Luna, but as you will see, she’s second to no one, including the Alpha, who places her by his side and not in any corner!
Oh, and I should mention that there are hot guys in this story, too. However? Since I’m a goddess, I get moreexcited about girl power. So you can meet the sexy hot guys in the story later.
The tale about Sesi is a lot like one of my favorite classic fairytales, Snow White! I adored this story when Lilith read it to me, and like many of you more sexily seasoned readers, I was upset when Tipper Gore claimed Snow was a hussy! She was so not a hussy! She lived with dwarfs. D.W.A.R.F.S! Dwarfs are not men. Geez! Talk about ruining a generation with an ick factor before they have become adults! Yuck. Just yuck!
Anyway, I’m digressing a little too much, so back on task! This story starts with our heroine reuniting with her father’s army brigade friends during a tough time in her life. She takes refuge in her late father’s inn, bequeathed to her when her father’s will is read to her by her stepmother’s lawyer. Unbeknownst to Sesi, the brigade, her father, and even herself, are werewolf shifters!
Talk about a truth bomb when she finds out—amiright?
And there’s a little more...
She’s not just any werewolf—she is the brigade’s next Luna!
Okay, maybe that was a bit of a spoiler alert—well? Perhaps not, since I said she’s technically a Luna earlier? Either way, I promise I won’t overshare too much.
Sorry about that, but this is so exciting for me. I can’t wait to tell y’all about Sesi Snow and Sylus Charming because it’s a real treat to talk with anyone other than myself.
I don’t get out much. The Moon Goddess frowns upon those sorts of things. I’m not allowed on Earth unless I’m on the job. It’s all about not having groupies. So, demigods can only visit the human realm these days while on a job.
Since this is the life story of Sesi you might expect me to start from the beginning, but since Sesi is a lot like Snow White, can we skip the part where Sesi was born and blessed with gorgeously dark hair and eyes as blue as the Aegean Sea? Because I feel like that’s a given—don’t you?
Personally, I think we should start this story the right way! Let’s start it right before Sesi comes into her shifter powers. Yes! That’s the ticket!
Now, I rarely start a story with me using the cliché paraphrase, “Once upon a time…”
I mean, sure, you’d expect that phrase in a fairytale. But that’s so last century. However, with this story? Well, it’s rather appropriate to start with the cliché since we will talk about a small town, a brigade of sexy silver foxes, who, despite what that witch of a stepmonster thinks, aren’t dwarf-like in any way imaginable. Goodness, is it getting hot in here? I should begin this story before I get too overheated.
Without further ado…
Once upon a time, a beautiful girl was born in Manet Cove, Arkansas. In case you missed it in the prior paragraph and have been hiding under a rock on a different plane of existence—her hair was asdark as night, and her eyes as blue as the Aegean Sea. Yeah—figured I should put it in there anyway just to keep you on your toes—pop quiz and all later. Kidding!
She was born to Kenneth (aka Baseline to his army brigade friends) and Katlyn Snow on Winter Solstice 2004. Both parents wanted to give their baby a name meaning snow to commemorate the holiday, but they couldn’t agree on anything until Chary Charming, Baseline’s best brigade buddy, suggested Sesi.
Sure, the name was a little unusual, but it’s better than the initial name they threw around. It was White. Who’d want to be named White Snow?
And for their whole life?
Boy, was I glad I buzzed my suggestion into Chary’s ear! I surely didn’t want Sesi to suffer like some celebrity kids named Apple, Cricket, or Aleph.
Do parents dislike their children in this century or something?
Goodness, those names aren’t on point—especially for a royal baby! And Sesi’s parents were most definitely of royal blood.
Well? Perhaps that’s a strong word if it has you thinking about Princes William and Harry of England. Wolves are a little different with royal bloodlines, but they are royalty! That’s why I made it a point to make her name unique, but not weird! And? Their pack loved the name. So I’ll take it as a win!
