“Today is the day we are waiting for after several red full moons have passed. In the end, King Alpha Jxtyn Saint passed his position to his only son, Alpha Niklaus Saint. Remember, in the hands of King Alpha Jxtyn Saint, our pack was the most powerful compared to other Alphas on this earth. Don’t let us lose it just because the position is replaced by Alpha Niklaus Saint. If it’s possible, Alpha Niklaus Saint will be able to defend and make our pack the strongest and most feared pack in the history of the werewolf world!”
The figure of the bearded man spoke so loudly, then he worshiped the two men who were sitting on the throne. His oversized cloak hung down and covered most of his body.
“You need not worry, Stafanus. You know who I am, right? My father and I have a lot in common. The blood that flows in my body is the blood of the strongest alpha on this earth. So who dares to interfere with us?”
“Hail to Alpha Niklaus Saint! Hail to King Alpha Jxtyn Saint!”
Everyone there shouted, worshiped Niklaus, and gave their proud cheers. Finally, Alpha Niklaus Saint had officially become King Alpha for their pack.

“Could you wait in the car, Jane? I will go into the forest for a while. Wait for me for two hours. If I don’t show up then run as hard as you can out of the forest. Do you remember the red ropes I tied to the trees earlier? Follow it until you find a highway.”
The twelve year old girl was silent, but her blue eyes gave many questions. Last night her father had spoken to her and taken her out hunting. And all Jane knew they would probably hunt a deer, or some other beast for food, or the skins would make it into one of her father’s collections.
But this time it seemed everything was different. It wasn’t real wild animals that her father was looking for, the rifle her father was carrying was not an ordinary rifle. This was indeed different!
“Dad, do you want to catch a werewolf?” asked Jane at last.
Her father, Andrew, pumped up the firepower of the rifle he carried, inserting the bright blue bullets to perfection.
“Yes, I heard that in the forest there is a supreme an alpha pack. They are a group of the most powerful werewolves of the alphas in the world. If I manage to kill the king alpha that is there, surely I can destroy all forms of their pack, and all their pack structures will be destroyed.”
Andrew was about to take another step, but Jane immediately stood up in his car. “But…” Jane stopped, she was very worried for her father. “Werewolves are terrifying and very powerful, Dad. They have thick hair and very terrible fangs. How could you win against them with just your ordinary shotgun? What if you die?"
“You don’t have to worry, Jane. You know my gun is no ordinary gun. This rifle has many advantages in it. So stop thinking that I might be defeated by them, instead they will be crippled because of me. Wait here, okay? I will be back soon, don’t you want to eat rabbit meat tonight? I will get one for you.”
Jane just nodded as she watched her father walk on into the forest until his body disappeared. However, it wasn’t long before Jane felt that she was being watched by many figures, who seemed ready to pounce on her at one and the same time.
Her father's car had no roof and Jane sat in there. It was so easy for wild animals to come and pounce on Jane. Frightened, Jane gripped the iron in her father’s car tightly. She was afraid of being eaten by wild animals, and she felt her fear just now after all this time she had always accompanied her father hunting.
“Grrrrr! Grrrrr!”
Jane immediately turned her head, the tall bushes that were originally calm swayed perfectly. Jane’s eyes bulged as three werewolves jumped up and approached her. Screaming, Jane jumped out of the car. She kept screaming her father’s name and ran as hard as she could deeper into the thick and dark forest.
While on the other hand, Alpha Niklaus was sitting with some of his friends while watching some little werewolves playing. Then his ears began to prickle, and his eyes reddened. He clearly saw a shadowy of someone carrying a rifle walking closer and closer to him.
“s**t!” Alpha Niklaus cursed.
Some of his friends immediately stood up, shocked by alpha Niklaus’s swearing, until finally they both turned to one side.
“Werewolf hunter, where did he come to know where we are, King Alpha Niklaus!”
“I don’t know either, what is clear is that we have to teach him a lesson. Don’t let him come again and disturb us!”
Bang! Bang!
Two shots pierced through the forest, barely hitting Alpha Niklaus who was standing. The blue fireball flashed perfectly. All the werewolves who were there started to panic and screamed uncontrollably. Alpha Niklaus sent two of his friends to calm them down and find a safe hiding place. While he and two other friends immediately moved closer to the werewolf hunter.
They ran so fast, jumped, and occasionally climbed on top of a tree, until finally Alpha Niklaus and his two friends managed to approach a blue-eyed man who was now carrying a long rifle, and the man seemed happier when he could see Alpha Niklaus directly.
“I finally got to meet the werewolves’ alpha in person. I’m lucky to see you here now, aren’t I?”
The man grinned happily, then he looked again at the three young men standing in front of him. Men whose eyes had now changed perfectly.
“I’ve always despised lowly beings like you who always have peerless handsomeness, isn't that an insult?”
“What are you here for?” Alpha Niklaus immediately asked. “Two hundred years ago we had agreed that the werewolf race and human race won’t hurt each other. All of that was witnessed by the moon goddess. Why did you come with that damn gun of yours?”
Yes, two hundred years ago there was great bloodshed. The battle between the werewolves and the humans was inevitable. Many werewolves lost, but far more of those hunters lost. The reason was one, the hunters always had a passion to kill the werewolves. Even though it was clear there were rules that between werewolves and humans, they were not allowed to touch each other. And because of that terrible battle, in the end the advisors intervened, they decided to stop everything and reaffirm the existing agreement. Because of that, for two hundred years, the human race and werewolves had not intersected with each other.
“Do you think I care? You have made my wife die, so you must bear all the consequences!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Andrew started firing successively, Alpha Niklaus dodged quickly then he saw his two friends very aggressively attacking Andrew. The battle was clearly not a draw at all, and when Alpha Niklaus was about to pounce on Andrew, he suddenly heard a sound…
“Help, Dad! No!”
A female human caught by another werewolf!
