5 years after the war between werewolves ended and enthronement of the new Alpha King from Golden Moon Pack, Alpha King Alcyd …

Many things happened and changed within the werewolf kingdom and beyond its borders.

​​

The rumors about the death of the supposed new chosen one caused for other supernatural monarchs and leaders to focus on their own territories.

In preservation and survival of their own.

Dark forces started to take advantage of the absence of a supreme ruler over supernatural beings.

One of these dark forces was the legion of vampires.

Compared to the former Alpha King …

King Alcyd preferred to shun vampires away from the territories of their kingdom.

Unlike his father, King Alcyd has no reason to be allied with the vampires.

He gathered all his ministers and other Alphas for meeting together with Magdeline.

[-In the throne room-]

The current throne room was the previous royal court.

King Alcyd watched the other Alphas argue with the current movements and sightings of the vampires around the territories of some allied wolf packs.

Currently, the prime minister of the kingdom is the former Alpha of the Jade Pack … Alpha Morris!

He managed the discussion while the Alpha King watched over them discuss and argue.

Magdeline wondered when the Alpha Werewolves and other ministers will end their arguments and disagreements regarding the current issues on the vampires.

"We must take action as soon as possible and send troops for the hunt of these filthy vampires who are lurking around our territories." One of the Alphas raised his own concerns.

Then a familiar voice from the crowd of Alpha Werewolves shared his own perspective regarding the issue.

"I think the Alpha King must declare an open clean-up for every territory and issue a warning against the king of vampires to keep his breed of vampires on the leash or else we would directly bring the fight to his doorstep." Alpha Gerald from the Midnight Pack stated.

Majority of the Alphas and the ministers nodded in agreement.

Before the prime minister could answer the things suggested by Alpha Gerald, Alpha King Alcyd interjected.

"I appreciate all the recommendations and concerns of each one of you. My respected allies … all of you are right that we must chase away each and every vampire that lurks around the territories of our allied wolf packs. But we also must be cautious with our actions. Because the numbers of vampires have increased tremendously based on the intel I received." King Alcyd explained.

Whispers and different reactions echoed all over the throne room.

"We cannot afford to risk the lives of the many and allow the rogue werewolves to use the opportunity of a war between vampires as their chance to rebel against the throne." Alpha King Alcyd further explained.

One of the ministers suddenly responded.

"But you are the king of the rogue werewolves, your highness! Why will they rebel against the throne?"

"Remember! I am not a rogue werewolf. Any time the majority of the rogue werewolves may decide to go against the throne once their interest to cooperate with us fades. Their nature will always be different from us. Unless they all submit to us. But right now, we must keep them at bay and prevent any possibilities of their uprising." the Alpha King reminded everyone about the situation with the rogue werewolves.

He even continued,

"So, going war against King Lionel will not be a good idea for the current peace of our kingdom."

Alpha Gerald suddenly reacted, "What do you suggest then, your highness?"

"That is why … I sought for the counsel of the Grand White Witch. And we will hold a meeting with the current members of the Altum Council. Cooperation between the monarchs and leaders of other supernatural beings will greatly help us. All of your concerns will be brought up to the council. Lastly, I will dispense the majority of the royal army to assist all of our allied Alphas in exterminating any lurking vampires in their territory. Meaning, I am leaving the responsibility for each Alphas to clean-up their own territories with help of the royal army." The Alpha King replied.

The prime minister could only agree with the words of their Alpha King.

Others looked at one another and expressed their satisfaction from the words of Alpha King Alcyd.

Both Beta Garrett and Magdeline could only smile at the words of the Alpha King.

"Our Alpha has become barely recognizable from the man he used to be." Beta Garrett expressed his amusement for their Alpha King.

The Grand White Witch discreetly replied,

"How could he not change with the things he went through?"

"You are absolutely right, Lady Magdeline! 5 years have passed since …" Beta Garrett did not finish his statement because just the thought of those things that their Alpha King suffered … was too painful for anyone to recall.

"At least we could only hope for the better! I still wonder until to this day … how the Great Oracle could claim in his last breath that he has fulfilled his duties to Selene if our supposed supreme ruler perished …" Magdeline remarked.

After the meeting within the throne room …

The Alpha King went directly to see Laura.

[-In the royal garden-]

Laura was given all the rights and access to the royal garden.

She landscaped and further beautified the place.

All staff members of the royal palace were impressed with the creativity of Laura.

While Laura was watering her personal favorite flowers, the scent of the Alpha King became apparent to her. Which made her aware of the presence of the Alpha King.

"If you plan to spook me or surprise me … Sorry to disappoint you! I know you are already around the premises, your highness!" Laura acknowledged the presence of the Alpha King.

Alpha King Alcyd chuckled at the words of Laura.

"I heard you are planning to return to your wolf pack tomorrow. Is it true?" King Alcyd asked for confirmation.

Laura took a deep breath before replying.

"Before you lecture me and convince me not to go … You are not my mate! And especially … you are not my father! So you cannot force me in doing things your way. We may have been dating for years now. You have no right over me or have any binding factor regarding to my decisions."

"What if I tell you … I want to be your husband? Will that be enough reason for you to consider?" an out of a sudden offer from the Alpha King.

"E-Excuse me what?" Laura was astonished and utterly shock by the sudden proposal of the Alpha King.
