"How is Ryan?" Claire walked hastily down the long hallway to the Alpha's room.

The dark brown-haired woman looked very angry when she found out that Ryan was attacked by Bobby. The Alpha of the Blood Stone pack. Their mortal enemy all this time.

“Alpha's current condition is quite worrying, there are many wounds around his body. "Alpha is lucky you found him while on patrol," explained Dominic, who was walking behind Claire.

"Tighten our border area so that Rogues ordered by the bloodstone enter our area," said Claire before entering Ryan's room. Before entering the room, Claire took a deep breath to calm herself. For now, she had to focus on healing the Alpha.

When she entered the room, Claire saw Ryan still lying unconscious on the bed. She came closer and wiped the sweat from Ryan's forehead.

“Why were you gone for so long Ryan? We need you here. Just my command alone isn't enough to fight Bobby." Claire sighed seeing the Alpha's condition.

Over the past year, Ryan has only returned to the werewolf world twice. Every six months he will go home hunting to fill his energy. Sometimes he also takes care of several important matters that he must handle himself. For the rest, Ryan leaves it to Beta, who he believes is Claire, the woman who is now beside him.

"Arghh..." Ryan groaned softly as he slowly opened his eyes. "Claire..." he called out because the woman was talking to Dominic at the door.

Claire swiftly helped Ryan sit up and lean against the headboard of the bed. "Ryan, your condition is still weak, don't talk too much."

“I... have to hunt... right now! I need... a lot of energy... so I can recover quickly," said Ryan, struggling because his body was weak. The Alpha from the Gold Heart pack has the ability to heal wounds quickly. However, because his energy has been completely depleted, this ability will be difficult to do. It's not that it can't be done, it's just that it reacts very slowly.

"It will be dangerous for you, Ryan, if you hunt in conditions like that. You will become an easy target for the Rogues out there who already know your weak condition," Claire looked at Ryan's eyes, which looked sad. "Sorry if I bossed you around Alpha."

No matter what, Claire is still Ryan's subordinate. Even though everything was said for the safety of the leader himself.

Not long after, Dominic came in with a small bowl of the potion that Claire asked for. A potion that is believed to increase the energy of a werewolf. After the bowl was given to Claire, the Beta very attentively helped the Alpha drink the potion.

“For now, you drink this potion first. It's not as effective as hunting, but it's enough to slowly increase your energy."

Ryan had difficulty swallowing the very bitter concoction. If only his condition wasn't this weak, he wouldn't want to drink the potion. “What happened while I was gone?” Ryan asked, leaning back against the headboard.

“Bobby has dared to attack our southern territory. Because he knew you weren't here he hired a lot of Rogues to monitor our pack. Bobby will continue to look for loopholes to seize our territory," explained Claire while continuing to look at Ryan.

Ryan's attention is now focused on Dominic. His subordinate with the Gamma rank of the pack he leads. “How many warriors, schouts, and hunters have been trained?”

“If they were all combined there would be a total of 3500 werewolves, Alpha. But that's still not enough considering that Blood Stone has prepared twice the size of our troops."

"Ryan's condition is currently critical. You can't be away for too long," said Claire in an urgent tone.

Ryan clenched his fists after hearing that the situation of the pack he led was very unfavorable. However, he also couldn't stay long in the werewolf world, there was Emely and her two children who were waiting in the human world.

On the other hand, he also cannot ignore his territory which has been disturbed by his arch-enemy for a long time. Ryan and Bobby are always at odds to become the strongest alpha in the world. Until finally Ryan was recognized as The Alpha King throughout the world.

In terms of physicality and strength, both of them are equally superior. One advantage that Ryan has is that Bobby doesn't have. Ryan has a pure werewolf bloodline. Meanwhile, Bobby's bloodline is contaminated by humans from his previous ancestors.

Three days later, by regularly drinking energy-boosting concoctions, Ryan's condition gradually recovered. During that time he also strategized together with Dominic and Claire.

By changing his form into a wolf, Ryan goes hunting for wild animals to collect energy. While hunting, he observed Rogue scouting his territory.

Claire and Dominic always follow Ryan behind. Just in case their Alpha is attacked when its energy has not been completely collected. When they are wolves they cannot speak at all. To communicate they have telepathic abilities among werewolves. They often call them mindlinks.

'Alpha, Beta, in the north corner I found a Rogue lurking alone.' Through mind link, Dominic conveyed his findings.

'Leave him alone and I'll catch him.' Ryan ordered. Without wasting any time, Ryan in wolf form ran fast towards the north corner. Followed by Claire behind him.

"Gggrrrr... ggggrrr...." in his wolf form, Ryan groaned while locking his target position. His golden eyes looked straight at Rogue who had his back to them.

With perfectly gathered energy, Ryan pounced on Rogue brutally. Even the Rogue wasn't given a chance to fight back. Ryan so fiercely bit the smaller wolf that he couldn't move. Its sharp teeth manage to immobilize targets easily.

'Alpha is enough, he'll die if you get hit like that! we still need him to get information.' Claire tried to stop Ryan's wildness. If not prevented, Rogue will be torn apart by Ryan because he has disturbed his territory.

Ryan was still biting Rogue's neck. Through his golden eyes, he looked at Claire and Dominic alternately. In one fell swoop, Ryan threw the wolf's helpless body in front of Dominic. After landing heavily on the ground the little wolf's body turned into a human. From his physical appearance, they guessed that Rogue was only eighteen years old. No wonder he has a small body.

The higher-ups from the Golden Heart pack changed into human form. Ryan cleaned the blood around his mouth with the leather jacket he was wearing.

“Bring that pest to headquarters! Torture him without mercy!" Ryan ordered, looking disgusted at Rogue in front of him.

"Okay, Alpha," said Claire and Dominic almost simultaneously.

As soon as he arrived in his room, Ryan took off all the clothes he had just put on and threw them at Omega who was in front of the door. “Burn them all!” he ordered very firmly. The Alpha will not be willing to wear items that have been contaminated with the blood of a lowly Rogue.

Even though he is a werewolf who is hundreds of years old, Ryan always follows developments in fashion and technology in the human world. Nowadays, there are no more old-fashioned werewolves who don't wear clothes everywhere. Even though they live in the forest, the technology they use is as sophisticated as humans.

After changing clothes, Ryan headed to the basement. A place where hostages were tortured. Ryan walked upright with a straight face giving off the dark aura of the leader. The Omegas and other werewolves looked down as the Alpha passed them. Not looking down because of fear but because of their respect and obedience to the Alpha who leads the pack.

When entering the basement, a guard opened the door with iron bars to make it easier for their leader to enter the torture room. Claire and Dominic, who were torturing the young Rogue, stepped back and looked down when Ryan stood in the doorway.

"Sorry, Alpha, we still haven't gotten any information from this child," reported Dominic, who was still looking down.

Ryan's sharp eyes continued to stare at young Rogue who was slumped limply with his hands tied to the side of the chair. His appearance was very worn due to continuous torture. Ryan approached the stove which was filled with burning coals. He took a stick with a pack symbol on the end which was submerged in burning coals.

With great confidence, he pressed the fire stick against the young Rogue's thigh. There was not the slightest hint of pity on Ryan's face when torturing his enemy. His face was flat, enjoying the painful screams of the person he was torturing.

The young rogue still didn't want to talk. So relaxed Ryan dipped the fire stick again into the burning coals. While waiting for the wand to heat up he took a bucket of water and very roughly splashed it on the young Rogue's face.

The young Rogue gasped with a gasp from the splash of water. Once the stick was hot, Ryan pressed it against the back of the person's hand. It didn't stop there, Ryan pulled his hair until the person looked up at him

“Giant... Giant..." said the Rogue with difficulty.

Not satisfied with that answer, Ryan pulled his hair deeper. “Blood Stone is persuading the giants to cooperate. Their Alpha is also trying to get close to the vampires.” No longer able to stand the torture, Rogue finally spoke up.

"When are they going to attack?" Ryan's eyes stared intently at the helpless creature beneath him.

“They still haven't confirmed when. Certainly not during a full moon.” The full moon is the time when almost all werewolves have full power. The Alpha of the Blood Stone couldn't possibly choose a time that would endanger himself.

After getting what he wanted, Ryan threw the stick. “Finish him!” he said to Dominic and then left the room.

“Okay, Alpha.” Dominic took a very sharp dagger. He prepared to use the dagger.

“Aargh….”

The dark dungeon was filled with the anguished screams of a creature whose life had come to an end. The heartbreaking scream accompanied Ryan's departure.

At dinner time Ryan sat at the head of the table. To his right and left were Claire and Dominic. "Claire quickly goes to Leonardo, the vampire king at the Vatican. Dominic added more to our troops, recruit as many Rogues as possible."

"Would it be better for us to ask the Dark Moon pack in Russia for help?" Claire asked, paying attention to Ryan. The Alpha from the Dark Moon pack is Ryan's close cousin. If asked for help they will definitely help. Because the Alpha from the pack once helped Ryan to get the throne.

“For now, don't involve other parties. This is between me and Bobby. I'll take care of the giants." Ryan wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin. "Claire, I leave all pack responsibilities to you. I have to go.”

“Alpha, this is not the time to walk away! The conditions here are quite critical, we need you Alpha. Bobby will act as he pleases if you leave this area," stressed Claire, who did not accept that the Alpha would leave again.

With his dark eyes, Ryan stared at Claire very sharply. He spoke in a low but piercing tone. "Claire, you're just a Beta, don't ever order an Alpha around!"

Claire and Dominic both looked down feeling the cold aura their leader was emitting. No one will dare to argue if Alpha has given the order.

Without a word, Ryan left the dining room. It had been three days since Emily and her twins had left. It was impossible to leave them any longer. Because the pack situation was not conducive, he had to immediately secure his small family.

Claire's hands clenched into perfect fists after Ryan left. The reason he held back Ryan's departure was not only because of territorial power. She needed that man to stay by her side. Claire really loves Ryan, The Alpha King. He already suspected that Ryan was hiding something.

Ryan often visits the human world. It's just that in the past year, the Alpha has spent more time in the human world than the wolf world. Even though his responsibility towards the pack was not left alone. However, because there was no Alpha in the pack, it was a breath of fresh air for Bobby to seize their territory.

"Dominic we have to prevent Alpha from leaving." Claire tries to influence Dominic.

"Sorry Claire, we have to obey what Alpha has said," said Dominic and left Claire alone. If it's like this, Claire has to move alone to find out what the Alpha is hiding.

Before going to the Vatican, Claire visited the area inhabited by watchers. He approached the watcher whom he always assigned to observe the human world.

“Follow this person and report whatever he is doing. "Be careful, this person is quite sensitive so you don't get caught." He gave Ryan's photo to the watcher.

A man who is 185 cm tall and has blonde hair received the photo. "Miss, it looks like you chose the wrong target," said the man after seeing Ryan's photo. “This man is The Alpha King. It will be hard to keep up with this guy.”

The corners of Claire's lips lifted in disdain for the sturdy man. “Prince diamonds. That's what you'll get if you succeed in gathering information.”

The man smiled meaningfully when he heard the reward offered. The Princie diamond is among the most expensive diamonds in the world, discovered three hundred years ago. The price of the diamond could reach forty million dollars. Of course, things like that could easily be obtained by Claire.

"What does Miss want to know from The Alpha King, the king of all werewolves?"

"Find out what he is hiding and where he lives while in the human world!”
