What is it? What is all this madness?" Lord Olcan asked a raging Amoux. Amoux entered into Lord Olcan's court without the usual formality required. He was to ask for permission from the guards who stood at the door. Either of the guards will go into the castle and ask if Olcan wants to meet with the person or not. But Amoux attacked both guards. They didn't fight him. They only paved the way for him. "You ask your daughter not me!" He fired back at Olcan"My daughter?" Olcan asked. He adjusted his posture on his seat. He sat with his right hand under his chin. His elbow touched his lap and he leaned forward."Your daughter did not only defy me, she disrespected you. And it seems all your policies are a facade," Amoux blurted. Four of the guards rushed toward him. A guard grabbed his right hand. He tried clawing the guard with his left arm, but he got punched in the bicep by another. His punch weakened. Another guard grabbed his arm. Two came from behind and kicked him in his leg.

Ashina is all alone in her room, sleeping. She doesn't know anything going on around her, not to talk of things going on miles from her. The Ultimate Alpha and his brother sat down in their court room. Worried about why Beowulf had to fall in love with the daughter of Olcan. They know of the relationship between their pack and Olcan. "You think Olcan would agree?" Adalwolf asked. "Would he have another choice?" Audolf smiled."It's not about that. You know what have happened," "You should not be the one scared. You did nothing wrong," Audolf consoled his elder brother. "Yes! I know," Adalwolf replied. He appears as old as the oldest priest in Noguchi but he is the same age as Olcan. They used to know each other and be friends while they were young. But position and family made each other realize that they can't be friends forever. One has to hate on each other. Olcan Pack has to hate on the Ultimate pack. It's compulsory. It's necessary. It's inevitable and only so much can be d

Even though the fear and surprise in Ashina cannot be contained by mere apology or assurance, she tried to calm herself. She loves her brother and the maids. She believed no wolf should ever die by Blood moon. After her last lover died by it. It still traumatizes her but there isn't anything to be done. She can cry about it for all she wants. Whine till heaven falls, there is nothing to be done. But with the presence of Beowulf. A new lover she met who hasn't shown interest in her. She should not dream far, but she believed if he ever chose her to be his mate, that making her a Luna, she would put a stop to using blood moon to kill. And as a Luna, she will arrest her father and ask him why he hates the Ultimate pack so much. If possible she would punish him for killing her first love. And Amoux, she will make sure he suffers. "Am I day dreaming?" She laughed at herself. "But it's allowed, right? After all these years, having this sort of feeling, I need to savor it the best way I

Ashina woke up to the sound of a lively compound. Everyone before her is awake. She still lingers on her bed wondering what to do today. She concludes on some things she should do but one important one is to go to the market where she had met Beowulf. Maybe she will see him. It's been days since they met. Four days since she met Beowulf at the market. Four days since she met the man she believed will be the one to change the course of her existence. The man who she thought existed in fairy tales. A man with power but with a considerable amount of affection towards the people. A man whose humility rivals that of the goddess. Not to lie, there are three sets of things in Noguchi that she could compare Beowulf's humility to. The powerful, the weak, and the goddess. The powerful bones like the Alpha's, Upper Betas, Betas. These are the strong ones that determine how things go within every pack in Noguchi. But the truth is, they are only humble to those they know and love. And the weak.

It's not every time Priests go out of their little coven to see the outside world. In all honesty, they are least interested in what goes on in the world. Or their code of conduct forces them to lose interest in the outside world. They live their lives feeding off the people. They claim the offerings belong to the goddess. Truly, the goddess does require some items for sacrifice but the Priests do double it. And before the righteous people will judge them, it's not a fraud. In Noguchi, such is not what constitutes fraud. Fraud has a very vast meaning. It's different from every pack. But one thing they all see as a fraudulent act from the priest is the idea of the priest taking two wives. But the priest who is closest to the goddess knows the reason they take two wives. They know why polygamy is important for them. As the goddess has told the first priest, who relayed it to the next priest after him. And the next one told the next priest who told his colleagues of priests and since th
