The supreme Alpha and She : The chosen one's destiny

Chapter seventeen

Ndeye, still amazed, took a few steps forward without stopping to contemplate the place, stars in her eyes.

_ Where are we, Aras? she asked without turning around.

_ At the Rukarara, one of the few wonders of the country but also of the continent to have known how to cross the centuries without ever losing their charm, he answered.

_ Thank you for bringing me here. It's indeed a place that inspires calm.

_ You're welcome. The water is very good according to Moha, you can go in for a swim if you want.

_ I... I can't.

_ Why? If it's because of your wounds, don't be ashamed of them. They show what a fighter you are.

_ It's not that.

_ Ah! I forgot you don't have them anymore! Then what is it?

_ It's just... I can't swim. I've never even seen a river this close. So this is my first time.

_ That's no reason to hang your head in shame. Moha can teach you when you're ready.

_ That would be great!

_ By the way, do you want me to tell you a secret?

_ I... Yes.

_ You see, I don't know how to swim because I don't like water. But anyway, in front of the others, I play King Kong.

_ Who's King Kong?

_ He's a big, strong gorilla.

_ What's a gorilla?

_ Goddess! I think I'm going to end up murdering if I keep hearing this kind of question.

_ I... I'm sorry if I upset you. I'll... I won't ask any more questions.

_ You know, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the man who stole ten important years of your life. And besides, as far as your questions go, you can ask me as many as you want. I'll try to answer them as best I can.

_ Seriously?

_ Yes, you have my word.

_ I... I'd like to learn more about werewolves.

_ It would be an honor for your humble servant, dearest Luna Supreme, to allow you to learn more about the people you will be governing.

_ Not this, I... please.

_ Oh! But she's all embarrassed.

_ And so cute.

_ This... That's not funny.

_ It is. But know that this is just the beginning. With your new family, you'll be so pampered and cuddled that you won't even remember what it's like to be alone.

_ And... How about we move on to the questions?

_ Okay. But I think you'll be more comfortable with your feet in the water. And don't worry, this one won't take you away.

_ Okay.

_ So, now where do you want me to start?

_ From the beginning. I want to know everything there is to know about you and yours.

_ Good. I think I'll give way to Moha then. Please turn around.

_ No! Stay! In a way... I feel better with you than with him, no offense.

_ Oh, don't worry, his male ego has probably taken a huge hit, but he's not too mad at you. He understands.

_ I'm glad.

_ So, where do we start? Hum?

_ The beginning.

_ Right. So, to begin with, a werewolf is a being that is born after seven to eight months of pregnancy. This is because it is made up of two entities, namely human and lupine, combined into one with the ability to transform from human to wolf and back again. However...

_ Wait a minute! What entities are those? Lupine? And, vis-versa?

_ Oh! Sorry! I forgot that your vocabulary is less than mine.

_ Sorry about that.

_ It's not your fault. So, to put it simply, a werewolf is, say, a wolf and a human put together in one body but with the appearance of a human officially. He can still turn into a wolf when that part of him is in control.

_ I'm a bit confused, I must admit. How do you and your kind get born then? I mean... How are you born?

_ At birth, we are just like you, just human. Except that in truth, wolves are, shall we say, asleep. This sleep lasts for ten years in normal wolves, eight in Alphas and seven in the Supreme Alpha as in my case before the awakening or first transformation takes place. It is always the most painful of all in the life of a werewolf, to the point where a good proportion of physically weak Omegas and humans do not survive it. After this first transformation, the werewolf can change from human to wolf not only on full moons as human legends would have it, but whenever both parties agree to do so by day or night. There are, however, exceptions or rare cases where neither is the cause of the transformations, such as when the soul mate bond acts. Speaking of which, it is known among us and many of you that every living being has a soul mate. Unfortunately, not everyone has the chance to meet their own. As you already know, we have a soul mate bond. A bond that is the work of the Moon Goddess to facilitate the meeting of our halves. A wolf can therefore have a soul mate who is one of his own, which is usually the case and where both feel the bond with the same intensity, but he can also have a human soul mate. In this case, the bond is 75% felt by the wolf and 25% and sometimes less by his other half. However, once the two halves meet and the human half accepts the bond between them, it is felt at a less unfair percentage until it is marked to become fully fair. Moreover, if you can currently hear me, it is because you have accepted this bond uniting us. This is one of its advantages and you cannot know how happy we are that you have opened up to us. It should also be noted that after marking, two halves can both hear each other's thoughts unless mental walls prevent them from doing so. Furthermore, when a human half is marked and does the same, she becomes a she-wolf and has her first transformation within a few days...

_ A... Wait a minute! What's a marking?

_ Well, a marking is when two soul mates inflict each other... Uh... Do you understand these words?

_ Yes. I may have the vocabulary of a child, but some of these words are not unfamiliar to me.

_ So, two soul mates usually bite each other on the collarbone (showing her the spot) on the day of their first carnal union. This bite gives way after a few hours to a "tattoo" which varies from one couple to another. This tattoo symbolizes the belonging of the halves to each other and keeps potential lupine competitors away. Soul mates, however, are not required to do so, except that in this case, when a wolf half is human and becomes pregnant, the pregnancy can be fatal because of its particularity. It is therefore preferable that the marking has been done.

_In addition to the soul mate bond, there is also the pack bond, which allows all members of a pack to communicate with the spirit wherever they may be. After you've been marked, you'll be part of it too, you'll see.

_ Wow! I think you can stop there. It's quite a lot of things to assimilate. Thank you so much.

_ My pleasure.

....

They spent the rest of the day talking about themselves, playing games until it got dark, and then went home, where for nearly three hours everyone had been looking for them. As they were going through the living room to their rooms in secret, they suddenly heard Fa'Bintou shouting at the top of her voice.

_ Goddess! It's not possible!

# For those of you who may or may not know anything about the world of fantasy, I'd like to make it clear that everything I've said about werewolves isn't true. And that's the point, to recreate the fantasy world, following my fantasies.
