Summary: The brave new post-apocalyptic world stands on the brink of war. Lycans of the south will stop at nothing to overthrow the mighty Ackles in the north. So, First Alpha Jensen Ackles returns home, and brings his mate, Jared Padalecki, with him. But as expected, not everyone in Albion is willing to accept a non-lycan, sub-human outsider in their pack. Jared struggles to assimilate, not knowing what his purpose in Albion is, besides maybe just staying alive. Meanwhile, Jensen is struggling too, losing his own purpose, position, everything he's worked so hard for, all because of his accidental bonding to a damn shifter.
Notes:
- Sequel to Flickers Upon Cordillera. Must read that to understand this.
- Thank you to my wonderful partner-in-creation AomaSade for choosing my story and creating magnificent artwork for it! Forever indebted and in awe of your talent.
- Thank you Jennifer (jdl71) and Sharon (rosies1mom) for your brilliant and much-needed beta skills!
- POV varies by sections, should be easy enough to spot.
- All characters are fictitious, inspired mainly by the cast of Supernatural (but also The Walking Dead, Teen Wolf and a couple of familiar CW faces.)
- Not written for profit, only meant to be a creative outlet and for fun.
