8. The Monster

"Alright. For the last one, this is your room from now on. This room has a closet, bed, and private bathroom. So, you are free to use it alone. As for clothes, you can wear the ones you have before someone takes you shopping later. We usually eat at 7 am, 1 pm, and 8 pm. Try to be on time, as our Alpha doesn't like people who aren't on time. Then ... Ah, yes. In addition to pack duties, Alpha usually assigns us other jobs as humans. You'll probably find out about his decision tomorrow. So for now, you can rest first."

While listening to Esben's explanation, Ullric observed his new room with a curious look. In addition to the tall buildings that had never existed before, Ullric realized that the equipment used was also much different from his own time. Ullric had just learned how to use an elevator. But now, he also had to learn how to utilize his room. Everything felt so new to Ullric. But for the sake of being with his mate, Ullric did not mind learning these new things.

From another point of view, Esben looked complicated when the beta saw Ullric staring at everything with a curious gaze. After seeing the amazing battle with his own eyes, Esben finally truly believed that this werewolf in front of him was the descendant of the ancient werewolf rumored to have always been so powerful. In all his life, Esben had never seen someone so amazed while watching television. Or, look so confused when having to bathe using the shower in the bathroom.

Esben thought about Ullric's actions for a long time before the man finally called out to Ullric again to get his attention.

"Ullric."

Ullric turned around and was confronted by Esben, who was staring at him with a complicated look. Ullric finally regained his composure when he saw the unusual expression. The man waited without acting much until Esben finally continued his speech.

"I know you are strong, perhaps comparable to our Alpha here. But right now, you are not the alpha of this pack. As a subordinate, it's not appropriate for you to challenge your superiors as you did earlier. I know you just wanted to protect your mate from any injuries. But in a pack, we still have to make the relationship between superiors and subordinates clear."

Despite Esben's words, Ullric already restrained his power when he fought Jorgen earlier. As a Gamma in the Silver Pack, Ullric thought Jorgen had at least half Stefan's strength. However, who would have thought that Jorgen would fall after taking one of his blows?

Ullric didn't even use all of his power. He had only unknowingly used half his power because Jorgen had suddenly attacked him in wolf form.

"Whether you like it or not, Jorgen is your superior from now on. Respect him as you would Alpha. As a former alpha, you know that a leader has some pride to maintain in front of his subordinates, right?"

After hearing Esben's words, Ullric finally realized that he had gone overboard. For him, who's an ancient werewolf, the salvation of his mate was the new goal of his life. But for a modern werewolf, there seemed to be some changes that Ullric had to follow if he wanted to join this pack.

After all, from the start, having two werewolves with alpha blood in one pack was nearly impossible. Stefan was only too kind to allow him to join the Silver Pack without fear that Ullric would usurp his alpha position.

"I understand. I'll even apologize to him if it makes him feel better."

Esben felt like his head was starting to hurt ever since Ullric became a new member of their pack. Not only did Ullric have incredible strength, but the ancient werewolf was also too much ignorant of the ways of modern werewolves. Esben even had a little trouble introducing Ullric to some modern equipment. But now, he also seemed to have to keep an eye on Ullric from antagonizing all the higher-ups in the Silver Pack.

"He will only feel humiliated if you come to him at this time. Please, just ignore his provocations in the future. He may seem annoying and irritable. But, since Alpha has chosen him as a gamma, Mr. Stefan himself has been convinced of his loyalty to this pack."

Fortunately, this time Ullric was willing to nod obediently. Esben had just felt that his duty to escort Ullric was over when the man suddenly called out to him again.

"First aid kit, where can I find it?"

Esben's eyebrows involuntarily began to rise after he was hearing that question. "Are you hurt?" the beta asked in surprise. Yet, Ullric quickly shook his head. He recalled the injuries sustained by Lulla, then remembered that Lula was mixed blood that was not as fast as pure blood in terms of regeneration.

"I'll use it to treat Lulla. I heard she's a half-blood. That wound must have taken a long time to heal."

"Ah, about that ...." Esben stopped talking when he remembered that Lulla was a stubborn girl. The man tried to regain his dignity by coughing softly before he changed his answer.

"You can ask for any medicine in the infirmary. You still remember that room, don't you? All werewolves who have trouble healing their wounds can go there to receive proper treatment."

Ullric nodded after hearing Esben's explanation. But before Ullric could move, Esben immediately continued his words in a slightly restrained tone.

"But, you better try to clean yourself up first. Even though our Alpha looks good like that, he still can't tolerate untidiness."

After Esben gave the final order, the beta finally walked out of Ullric's new room. Esben subconsciously glanced away to let out a long breath when he was finally no longer dealing with the new member of their pack.

As Esben recalled the previous battle between their gamma pack and Ullric, the beta couldn't help but shudder. His judgment when encountering that other werewolf had never been wrong. Even without turning into a wolf or having other powers like their alpha, Ullric was already so powerful. Even if ancient werewolves sounded stronger than the current generation of werewolves, Ullric's power was still hard to believe. Esben actually didn't want to use this term to describe a creature similar to him. But Ullric looked more like a monster than an ordinary alpha.

Even when their alpha stopped Ullric's power, Esben could sense that Stefan had managed to contain the power because Ullric respected Stefan's existence and consciously suppressed his power. The man's power was so great that Esben began to worry that Ullric's presence would create an imbalance in the pack.

After all, among werewolves, there were still some of them, who valued strength over leadership. Esben could only hope that their alpha hadn't made the wrong decision by letting a monster like Ullric into their pack.

Even though Esben was aware that Lulla was most likely Ullric's mate, the man determined that he might have to get rid of Ullric if the ancient werewolf ever threatened his alpha position.
