Supernatural beings are real. Humans tend to call them ‘monsters.’ The novels we read, movies we watch about witches, vampires, Faeries, demons, sirens… all of it, is real. We think those who weave the story lines have an active and creative imagination to invent such things as a man who can morph into a wolf. Supernatural beings wait tables in restaurants, serve our communities as police, teachers, lawyers, politicians, they stamp our library books, spell our names wrong on our coffee cups. How do I know?

My name is Kolbi Sinclair. I follow in the footsteps of my ancestors, in an organization formed many centuries ago to observe supernatural beings as they interacted with humans all over the world, to understand, ferret out potential issues; create a way for us all to live harmoniously. Over time, treaties and agreements developed. But there is a great big population of all kinds and temperaments out there, and it seems that no matter how many centuries pass, and how agreeable we are together, whenever supernaturals and humans mingle there can be chaos.

A bit of history: First, seraphim and archangels were created in divinity, followed by creation of a world, rich with many differing species; sentient, intelligent, magical, powerful, supernatural. Over time, and cross species mating, individuals were born with lesser and lesser powers and abilities. They became known as ‘human.’ Humans became the largest population. Without supernatural abilities, humans became jealous, angry, wanting to also be ‘special’, so came the great war. Supernatural beings were no match for human war machines that rolled across their territories of vulnerable supernatural woman, children and men. Their magic, abilities and powers were no match for guns, bombs, flame throwers, deadly poisons and chemical defoliants that tore the skin from babies as well as the ground. After surrendering in the war, supernaturals fled underground to live with their own. Watchers worked side by side to help them to rebuild, to heal. They saw us as allies.

Over the centuries since the war, our group has grown into a huge network. Supernaturals began to emerge from hiding, integrating again into society. Watchers diligently help to keep the peace to this day. Sure, there are still issues. Sometimes incidents occur toward humans out of cruelty: a supernatural being preying on a human simply because they could, just as humans prey on each other. Our organization has trained personnel, able to intervene with and contain any situation. That is what I do. I vowed that I would do everything in my power to save these sweet souls from the exploitation and inhumanity of humans, and bring the monsters who torture them to justice.

That is how I met Jax: a man who looks part god, part WWE wrestler, part supermodel; 6’6” of solid muscle with wavy black hair, silver eyes, and a 22-foot wingspan. Jax is not only strikingly beautiful, he is probably the rarest and most powerful supernatural being on the planet, being part angel, part demon, and part Alpha wolf shifter. He is also my fated mate.

Sadly, for humans, supernatural beings became ‘things’ to experiment on, exploit, enslave, hunt and traffic. Sticking out like a sore thumb because of his amazing silver eyes, Jax caught the attention of human traffickers and researchers who wanted to see how his insides worked, to clone his abilities into humans. As powerful as Jax may be, he was no match for human technology and incapacitating doses of human drugs, starvation, beating, chains... Remember, even the Gods can be killed. And after withstanding eleven months of their sick torture, they almost killed him.

The most important thing I have learned thus far is that humans are the real monsters.

And envy is poison to the heart and soul.
