Chapter 151: The Raynors and Their Bloodline
The Raynor Clan wasn’t famous for brute strength or battlefield dominance like the Lychos or Fenroth Clans.
Instead, they were widely regarded for their shrewdness in business and diplomacy. In supernatural circles, they
were often referred to as the wealthiest clan in existence, not just among werewolves, but across all known
supernatural communities.
Their influence was far-reaching, yet the true source of their quiet power lay in their blood... specifically, the
Elizabeth bloodline. Only the bearer of this awakened lineage could becthe clan’s head. This tradition wasn't
a matter of pride, but a protective measure. Those born with the Elizabeth bloodline carried unique, multifaceted
powers, and only they possessed the fortitude and clarity to shoulder the responsibility of leading the Raynor
legacy.
The Elizabeth bloodline was unlike any other. The Elizabeth bloodline was quite unique among all the famous
bloodlines. It possessed many smaller attributes that could appear randomly among the descendants of
Elizabeth Raynor. As werewolves, they naturally inherited supernatural strength, speed, endurance,
regeneration, heightened senses, accelerated healing, and enhanced reflexes. But as Raynors, they also
inherited their ancestral combat techniques. Even without training, this battle instinct was embedded in them,
allowing them to fight instinctively. However, over time, the Raynor Clan developed a teaching method that
enabled its members to use this advantage to its fullest potential.
Additionally, one distinct advantage all descendants shared was a natural resistance to silver and wolfsbane...
substances typically fatal to werewolves. Where others faltered, they endured. Because of these unique physical
attributes, Raynor Clan was nominated as official ambassadors of the werewolves, tasked with representing their
kind in interspecies summits and human-werewolf negotiations.
But their talents didn’t end with diplomacy or supernatural resilience.
Raynors often displayed extraordinary abilities across various intellectual domains. Shad an innate sense of
economics, predicting market trends with uncanny precision. Others were prodigies in strategic planning, legal
arbitration, or crisis management. A few could read deception like a book, detecting lies through micro-
expressions and tonal shifts. Many were gifted with near-eidetic memories... retaining names, numbers, histories,
and facts with impossible clarity. While eidetic memory was rare, every Raynor was known for having above-
average cognitive recall.
Their powers were subtle, not flashy. But in the long gof influence, subtlety won wars.
Because of these gifts, the Raynors becthe wealthiest supernatural clan over centuries. Their business
empire expanded into nearly every human sector: finance, real estate, global trade, media, technology,
academia, and even the entertainment industry. While most of their contributions were hidden behind aliases
and front organizations, the truth was staggering. Raynors had earned Nobel Prizes, Fields Medals, Academy
Awards, Pulitzer Prizes, Grammy and Emmy awards... all under the guise of human identities.
Despite their reach, few knew the full extent of what an awakened Elizabeth bloodline could do. Only those who
had awakened... like Oswyn, Fiona, and now Eleanor, understood the terrifying depth of that power. Common
knowledge said that an Elizabeth wielded all Raynor abilities at once, but that was an understatement.
In truth, when a true Elizabeth fought, the battlefield beca graveyard.
Oswyn, the former head of the clan, had annihilated legions of enemies during medieval and early modern

and far less seasoned, was already feared for her cold precision and the complete lack of hesitation when
eliminating threats. Her nhad already spread in supernatural circles, carrying with it the weight of dread and
ruthless efficiency.
Yet, despite this fearslegacy, the majority of Raynors were calm, measured, and surprisingly approachable.
Patience was their hallmark. Even those bearing the Elizabeth bloodline rarely lost control. The clan had spread
across the world over centuries, especially after the second world war, when the world getting to be in order
while forming stable countries.
Ethan Raynor was the perfect embodiment of the Raynor ideal.
Cool-headed, analytical, protective, and deeply disciplined, Ethan had always stood out even among his gifted
relatives. From childhood, he demonstrated exceptional emotional restraint. Unlike most young werewolves who
struggled with impulsivity, Ethan suppressed his urges with maturity far beyond his years. He was a silent
observer, a man who preferred to watch and understand before acting.
His academic records were flawless. Like every Raynor child, he excelled in all areas of study, but what set him
apart was his profound intolerance for falsehood. Lies disgusted him, and as a result, he never kept a large circle
of friends... especially among humans. But that never bothered him. Wherever he went, be it school, college, or
university, Ethan maintained a small, loyal group, choosing sincerity over popularity.
Then Eleanor cinto his life!
The first tEthan saw her at university, he felt a soul-deep pull towards her. For werewolves, such recognition
was immediate. They could sense their fated partner. And Ethan, who had always been reserved to other
females, knew right away. Eleanor was his fated female.
Relationships between werewolves and humans weren’t uncommon. But nature made such unions difficult. While
werewolves could father or mother children with humans due to their dual-natured biology, most of these
children were hybrids. Unfortunately, human mothers often couldn't survive the pregnancy. The supernatural
fetus either overwhelmed the mother’s body, or had to be born as fully human... which was a rare and
statistically negligible outcome.
Only female werewolves could safely give birth to hybrids, but even then, the child would usually lack strength
and have a human-like lifespan. For this reason, most werewolves turned their human partners after bonding,
ensuring compatibility and the possibility of children before mating.
Ethan knew all this, and he chose to approach her slowly.
He orchestrated a casual encounter, then joined her university group. That's when he discovered she had a
boyfriend. Ethan was heartbroken. But instead of walking away or force her, he chose patience. Werewolves,
after all, can play the long game. Humans lived barely a century; he had time. Once turned, even in old age,
they could gain a rejuvenated body as a werewolf. His strategy was to becsomeone irreplaceable as her
closest friend, her silent guardian.
He knew her boyfriend was a pathological liar, a manipulator. But he never said a word. He feared that
confronting her might drive her away. Instead, he focused on building trust. If love was to bloom, it would grow
from the foundation of unwavering friendship. He would be the one who never betrayed her, who stayed by her
side through it all.
After graduation, Eleanor joined her

After landing at the airport, he borrowed a car from an estate employee who happened to be in the area on an
errand. Driving hby himself, he met with that accident... and hurt her.
Now, whenever he thought back to that day, it felt as though everything had been arranged by the universe. It
was all meant to happen... to bring Eleanor back to him. What he hadn't expected, however, was to gain a
daughter in the process. And that, without the mating ritual.
Mating was a biological imperative
among werewolves. But Ethan had
never surrendered to that primal
urge. Perhaps he was the only adult

she still carried the weight of psychological torment.
As he stood lost in thought, a small voice interrupted his reverie.
