My Fated Alpha Wolf King

The Fated Alpha

"Snap!"Just as the arrow was less than three feet from Ming Yue's chest, it suddenly turned to ice. Its forward momentum changed to a straight downward fall, and it dropped onto the snow.Ming Yue's eyes widened, still not recovered from the initial shock. She turned her head, looking around, and saw two gray horses appearing not far away. The riders were a man and a woman. Clearly, they were the ones who had intervened to save her. As for how they had done it, Ming Yue wasn't quite sure.The two gray horses galloped over. The man among them was clad in golden armor and held a golden longsword. His face was full of a rugged beard, and he wore a faint, confident smile – the look of a powerful alpha. The female rider wore a purple robe and a tall, dark purple hat. Her features were quite striking and beautiful.The two reined their horses to a stop beside Ming Yue. The golden-armored rider leaped off his horse, executing several flips in the air, shouting: "I am here!" He landed beside Fei Tuo and the black bear, swinging his golden sword to forcefully separate the man and the beast.The fight with the black bear had exhausted Fei Tuo. His knees buckled, and he sat down on the snow. After being pushed back by the golden sword, the black bear roared towards the sky and lunged again.The golden-armored knight yelled, "Stubborn beast!" He danced his longsword, sending several arcs of sword energy slashing towards the black bear. The bear's claws met the sword energy head-on, receiving several cuts. The black bear flew into a rage and swung its massive paw in a fist-like blow towards the golden-armored knight's head. The knight leaped up, dodged the heavy strike, flipped to the back of the black bear, and struck the back of its head with his knee. After a muffled, heavy sound, the black bear's giant body toppled forward onto the snowy ground.The knight landed gracefully on the ground, stylishly sheathing his golden sword into the scabbard on his back. Then he dusted off his hands and made a victory sign towards the woman in purple.The woman in purple rolled her eyes at him, but a hint of a smile appeared on her lips.As the knight was interacting with the purple-clad woman, the man in black lunged from behind with a dagger. The golden-armored knight had his back to the man, completely unaware of the incoming attack, but the woman in purple and Ming Yue saw it clearly and simultaneously cried out: "Look out!""Clang!" The sharp steel claws of the man in black struck against a hard object – it was a silver-white round shield. Fei Tuo had appeared behind the golden-armored knight and blocked this strike for him.Fei Tuo said, "You're in a fight, friend. Distraction will cost you your life."The knight turned his head and grinned: "Heh heh, from the first rule of the 'Warrior's Code'." As he spoke, he launched a flying kick directly into the man in black's abdomen. The man in black screamed and was sent flying.Fei Tuo said, "Impressive skills, friend. My name is Fei Tuo, from White City."The knight said, "My name is Lu Ou. I've been to White City. The blacksmiths there are very good. This golden sword of mine was forged there."Fei Tuo said, "Is that so? My silver shield was also forged there. Perhaps we both visited the same blacksmith."The knight, Lu Ou, said, "I wield a golden sword, you wield a silver shield. I saved your life, and you immediately saved mine. This is fate."Fei Tuo said, "Fate is as mysterious as the wind. Perhaps we met before in White City."Lu Ou asked, "Why were you fighting them?"Fei Tuo pointed at the man in black: "I don't know them at all. I was riding in the snow with my sister, and he shot arrows at us for no reason. Maybe they are mountain bandits who kill for money."Remembering the sneak attack from behind, Lu Ou's anger flared: "Very well, then I shall be the one to deliver justice." He took a few steps forward, facing the man in black who was staggering to his feet, and declared righteously, "What I despise most is someone who attacks others from behind. Draw your despicable weapon, and let us have a fair duel under the sunlight."Intimidated by Lu Ou's aura, the man in black showed fear on his face. He looked at the white-haired elder, unsure of what to do.The elder stepped between Lu Ou and the man in black and said, "Brave warrior, you are dignified, powerful, and full of a sense of justice. Why would you consort with a wolf-kin?"Lu Ou saw the elder's kind face and felt a surge of respect, but was slightly confused by the question: "Old sir, what are you talking about? What wolf-kin?"The elder asked, "Do you not know of the wolf-kin?"Lu Ou replied, "Of course, I've heard of the wolf-kin. They are an extremely cunning and ruthless race, growing in shadowy places untouched by sunlight. What they love most is eating human hearts. During the day, wolf-kin can shapeshift into human form, indistinguishable from ordinary humans. At night, they tear off their disguise, revealing their true forms, coming out to kill and devour hearts... I've also heard that many villages on this continent have been slaughtered and wiped out by wolf-kin..."The elder said, "Since you know the cruelty of wolf-kin, why then are you colluding with them?"Lu Ou scratched his head: "Who are you calling a wolf-kin? What collusion are you talking about?"The elder pointed towards Ming Yue, not far away, and said, "That girl is a wolf-kin. We were preparing to eliminate her, yet you intervened to stop us. Is that not collusion?"Lu Ou turned and looked at Ming Yue. Seeing her bright eyes, pearly teeth, and cute appearance, he found it incredibly hard to believe she was a wolf-kin. Stunned, Lu Ou said, "This little girl... is a wolf-kin?"Hearing the elder's words, Fei Tuo rushed over anxiously: "What nonsense are you spouting! Why do you claim we are wolf-kin?"The elder shook his head: "No, I didn't say you were a wolf-kin. That girl is a wolf-kin."Fei Tuo was furious: "She is my sister! Why do you slander her as a wolf-kin?"The elder asked, puzzled: "Is she your blood sister?"Fei Tuo was momentarily speechless, unable to answer. After a long pause, he managed, "That... that's none of your business. You say she's a wolf-kin, what proof do you have?"The elder pointed at the fallen black bear: "If she wasn't a wolf-kin, why did the black bear roar?"Fei Tuo asked, "What does your bear's roaring have to do with her being a wolf-kin or not?"Lu Ou, standing nearby, suddenly remembered something. He beckoned to the woman in purple: "Xia Na, bring the girl over here."The woman in purple, Xia Na, upon hearing this, patted Ming Yue's shoulder and said softly, "It seems they've stopped fighting. They're calling us over."Ming Yue nodded: "Let's go see what's going on."Ming Yue and Xia Na rode over. Lu Ou and Fei Tuo each helped the two women dismount.Lu Ou introduced Xia Na to everyone: "She is my... um... my fated one. Her name is Xia Na. She's a graduated sorceress from the Rose Academy, currently practicing as a witch."The Rose Academy was located on a small island in the vast ocean, famous for training sorcerers and sorceresses. It was said that the Rose Academy's admission standards were extremely strict. Without a recommendation from a well-known figure, ordinary people couldn't even enter to study magic. Moreover, even those who could enter faced a very high elimination rate. Only a very small number could graduate successfully from the Rose Academy and receive the honorary title of Rose Mage.Fei Tuo and Ming Yue looked at each other. Their destination was precisely the Rose Academy. They hadn't expected to encounter a graduated mage from the Academy here. Fei Tuo was overjoyed. He had been searching everywhere for the location of the Rose Academy, and now, meeting a genuine student, he absolutely couldn't let this opportunity slip by.The elder and the man in black also wore expressions of shock. The man in black stammered: "You... you... that move you used to knock down my arrow just now... was that the famous Freezing Spell of the Rose Academy?"Xia Na said, "You're quite knowledgeable. You don't look the type to strike a young girl so viciously."The man in black pointed at Ming Yue: "She is a wolf-kin! Everyone is obliged to kill such creatures. Why shouldn't I?"Fei Tuo was furious: "You're lying!" He moved forward, ready to fight again.Lu Ou quickly grabbed Fei Tuo's shoulder: "Calm down, friend! Let me handle the justice here." He then said to Xia Na, "Didn't you mention before that in this region of the Taya Ice Plains, there's a type of bear with a spiritual sense? It can identify the scent of a wolf-kin and will roar whenever one is nearby?"Xia Na said, "Yes, the Taya Black Bear, like a seer, is born with this ability. It's a precious gift bestowed upon this species by the heavens." She glanced at the black bear lying on the ground and suddenly realized: "You... you mean..." She ran to the black bear's side and struggled to roll it onto its front.Lu Ou and the man in black ran over, and the three of them together flipped the bear over. The black bear's eyes were tightly shut, and the blood oozing from its mouth and eyes had frozen into crimson ice crystals.
