Chapter 2 - Secondary storyline:Serceuz Village

Serseoz Village, a quiet rural village, isolated from the noise and hustle of cities, has been inhabited by werewolves (Cubs of Light) for decades and then considered a neutral area because it does not interfere in the problems and conflicts of the supernatural world. Its werewolf inhabitants enjoy peace and stability. Rarely does anything exciting or out of the ordinary happen in their lives. Most of the pack works in hunting, growing various crops, tending livestock, or trading. The arrival of the mysterious Alpha King undoubtedly astounded the villagers and put them in a state of excitement, astonishment, and questions about the reason for his arrival. He became the focus of hot gossip among the villagers.

Ms. Frieda, the post office official, announced enthusiastically to Mr. Luca after a customer left "this's not a visit for any Alpha king, but a visit from a rare talent that appears only after millions of generations."

"Of course " added Luca confirming "King Alpha revealed his wolf at the age of only thirteen! This unique ability to transform into a wolf at such an early age made him the leader of the Night Clan, which sparked opposition from his blood relatives."

Then Mrs. Melissa, who had entered the The post office hall during the conversation said: "After King Alpha transformed into a wolf slightly larger than other Alpha wolves, his father died a few days later and this raised suspicions among his kin."

Mr. Luca: "Well, all doubts were buried when His Highness decided that one year after taking the leadership of his clan, the 'Blood Battle' would be held, open to all opponents of his leadership to fight to the death against him. At the beginning all opposition voices were quiet. especially his uncle Hons, who was the strongest candidate for succession, being one of the strongest Alphas of the old generation who fought in a war against vampires and goblins.Then he sent early invitations from his side to all the clans to attend the (Blood Battle). This contradicts the Night Clan's policy, which prefers isolation, secrecy, and keeping internal conflicts hidden."

Frida laughed: "It's amusing that his arrogance and overconfidence in winning against a child backfired, and His Highness defeated him that night, along with twenty fully grown and qualified wolves, which prompted the remaining participants to withdraw in submission and humiliation."

Mr Luca: "The battle was like a miracle, almost impossible. Myself, our leader Godfrey, and all the attendees were left in utter shock, watching the scene with our mouths agape and our hearts stopped. We couldn't believe what was happening before our eyes! It was even hard to follow the attacks of King Alpha's beast with the eyes of a wolf. Everyone who saw his wolf felt fear and cold sweat, as the bloodbath spread across the battlefield. I've never seen a wolf as unique and fast as light, with eyes! one red like fire, and the other silver like the moon..."

Mrs. Malissa interrupted: "Our leader Godfrey is patiently waiting for the presentation of his daughter Selene to him."

She continued with enthusiasm: "I can imagine the reputation and financial gains he'll acquire in exchange for this alliance. The leader of the Night Clan isn't a genius just because that his powerful and unique wolf appeared early, but because of the financial empire he's built from a young age until now! And if he decides to invest his wealth in developing this rural village, it will transform into a developed paradise, and we'll live in prosperity."

Freida gazed at her with disapproving eyes: "By the gods of the moon! Our village is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, tranquility, and simplicity. That's how I want it to remain, and that's how our ancestors envisioned it after a long and arduous struggle to establish peace with the neighboring clans. Neutrality has been our greatest blessing." She then turned to Mr. Luca who nodded in agreement with her sentiment.

Malissa gazed at her with contempt: "Leave your antiquated ideas behind. In any case! The Alpha king and Selene will form a fantastic duo, and I'll be delighted to see them together as a married couple.'"

"Freida opposed her once again:" for me I'd like Caroline to win his admiration, because that would prove to Selene and her family that Caroline is not the rejected, lost girl they're trying to make her out to be.'"

Malissa exclaimed: "Caroline! and a look of disgust appeared on her face." By Anubis! She's ugly "

Frida: "Not ugly, rather average looking, with beautiful emerald eyes and fair skin...."

Malissa: "She doesn't have the confidence and grace that Selene has, she's unusually shy so much that I wonder if she's faking it like her mother."

Freida exclaimed: "Faking shyness?! Caroline is only seventeen years old, while Selene is twenty-one! Caroline hasn't seen anything of the world, she's a prisoner in her uncle's house, mistreated since her father's death, our former leader." She emphasized the last words.

Melissa looked at her with a look full of hatred. "I want to know why you are defending that half." Mrs. Frieda looked at her defiantly. "For the same reason you hate her."

Mrs. Melissa left the Post office hall angrily.

Mr. Luca: "Perhaps it's best that Caroline doesn't catch King Alfa's attention. There are rumors about his relationships with many women, and they never end well.'"
