1. Tragedy and Destiny

All of the town's packs crowded around Alpha Edgar. To honor Alpha Edgar and enjoy his 50th birthday, they stood up, raised their glasses high, and cheered.

Luna Irish wished Alpha Edgar a happy birthday. May he have happiness and success in his life. Thank you for being so wise and encouraging.

Alpha Edgar smiled and thanked everyone for coming to his birthday party. We have been living in peace with people. It has brought us peace and safety. I hope that my kids can keep these ideals alive.”

 “Bullshit! He doesn't deserve to be our leader. Edgar failed as a leader because of the ongoing plague. If you don't give up the throne, we'll fight!” Romy was loud.

 When Romy, Edgar's brother, walked into the crowd with a group of influential people behind him, the party's mood changed quickly and dramatically.

 The crowd goes quiet because they can't believe what they just heard. The worry shows on their faces.

“So, Romy, if you become Alpha, can you promise the plague will disappear?” Irish Luna asked.

 Romy gave a decisive nod. “I have seen and thought of better ways to fight this plague. In particular, by using the blood of real babies who had just been born! I am sure I can make good things happen in this place.”

Alpha Edgar yelled, “No!”

 Some people in the crowd were for Edgar, while others were interested in what Romy had to say. Tension was in the air as anger, sadness, and confusion went back and forth.

But the people who came with Romy first yell loudly, “Duel! Duel! Duel!”

“The one who wins will be the real Alpha!”

There is a lot of tension in the air, which could worsen things. As the crowd gets antsy, a woman in her forties steps forward to break the stress. She turns to face Alpha Edgar with a worried look on her face.

 “Alpha Edgar, my son died of the plague just now! I can't take such a terrible loss!”

 Her sadness is clear to everyone and casts a shadow over the crowd.

 Romy makes the most of the chance. “You can see for yourself! The plague just killed this woman's son. Do you still act like you can't see? Because of him, so many people have died!” Romy aims her finger right at Edgar. “Yes, the one you praise! Even though he was sick, he had the nerve to celebrate his birthday like nothing was wrong.”

“Alpha, why are you so quiet? “If you're a werewolf, you should be ready to fight!” yelled a man.

 “I dare you to a duel, and the winner will show who Alpha is. If I win, no one will take your place as Alpha, not even your two boys!” With a sharp look, Romy said.

They had to decide what to do in the middle of the rising stress. People slowly moved away from Edgar and Romy until they were in the center of a big circle.

 Alpha Edgar attacked quickly and skillfully as soon as the word was given for the fight to start. He jumped at Romy and tried to hit her with a knockout blow, but Romy was quick enough to avoid it.

 Romy fought back by throwing a bunch of punches at Edgar. Alpha Edgar dodged Romy's attacks and stayed on his feet until he could knock Romy to the ground.

As Romy's followers yelled, “Now!” and pounded Edgar with mighty blows, the crowd let out a thunderous roar. Edgar had to struggle to get up and retaliate.

Edgar, on the other hand, refused to give up. He got up quickly and punched Romy, knocking her to the ground. Right away, they both started a fierce exchange of punches and kicks that showed how fast and skilled they were.

As the battle got worse, Romy took a chance and gave Edgar a strong kick, which was helped by Romy's troops, who joined the fight.

Alpha Edgar fell to the ground, and Romy and his followers attacked him so hard that it was hard for Edgar to get back up and fight back.

“No, A-B!” Luna Irish let out a sad cry.

Romy won the fight, beating Edgar, and became the new Alpha in charge of his following.

He told her, “You're no longer Luna!”

They hurt Irish and his kids by dragging them into the dark basement of their house. There was a heavy, creepy feeling in the air. The walls were covered in mud, and the dark areas of the room smelled musty. Amelia hugged Irish and her other brothers tightly, fearing what would happen to them.

Romy yelled from the outside, “Burn their house! The Edgars and their descendants must not live!”

Romy's men set their house on fire, and the flames rose quickly.

Irish, Liam, and Saoirse all knew their lives would end soon. They devised a plan quickly and dug into the ground to make a cave.

But the fire spread to all the homes, and the thick smoke made Irish feel like he couldn't breathe.

“Please wait, Mother,” Amelia begged as she wiped Irish's sad face.

“I can't hold out any longer!” Irish said as her last breath left her body.

“Amelia, get inside quickly!” Liam told Amelia what to do as he pulled her arm.

The fire in their house killed Irish, Liam, and Saoirse. Burning, bright rubble was all that was left.

The sky, which had been blue, was now filled with huge black clouds. A light breeze carried the smell of burned bones.

Amelia, who had made it out alive, stood atop the hill and looked down at her house. Her eyes were fixed on the wreckage of their house, and her heart was broken from a profound loss.

**** 

Damien, a young man with jet-black hair and bright blue eyes, sat at his desk and thought about what one of his friends had said. 

“Are you still happy to date a lot of women without getting married to any of them? Come on. You're already 27th. You should find your mate, someone to join you as an Alpha!”

“Shit! Why do I still hear those words in my head!” Damien cried out.

His office space felt tight and stifling. The air trapped inside it was no longer a breath of fresh air for his tired mind and soul. Damien was so desperate for peace that he left the office momentarily to get some fresh air outside.

As soon as he stepped outside, the sun warmed his tired face. The busy and noisy inside of the office was very different from how it felt. Damien chose to take a walk along the roadside, where it was calm and quiet, trying to find some peace.

But fate had other plans for him. It led him to meet an older woman sitting by the side of the road. She wore a purple robe, and her eyes were tired, which caught Damien's attention. Her face was full of lines, and she had a strange look.

Damien was very interested, so he went up to the seer. “Excuse me, I'm Damien,” he said politely.

“How can I help you, ma'am?” Damien tried to hide the growing interest in his heart as he asked.

The prophet smiled and said, “I'm just taking a break.” Ah, the Alpha is looking for his honest Luna.”

Damien was surprised and felt like he needed to talk more about it. Damien told the woman, “Please rest in my office across the street.”

At this point, they were in Damien's room.

“Alpha Damien, you will soon meet your soul mate.”

“How do you know that I will meet my Luna?”

“I can tell from how your aura looks,” the seer said. 

“And I can tell what will happen to you because I can read the energy in your body. Alpha Damien, you will face many hurdles to find your mate. There will be someone who comes into your life and makes it better and makes you stronger. Your true love will grow like a flower in a yard full of love.”

“Ma'am, could it happen?” Damien asked with a voice that was shaking. “Where do I look for her?”

“You will go to a small town in the east with a big lake shortly. It will be busy, especially when they celebrate the Festival. “Time hasn't changed any old buildings,” the seer said.

“Can you give me more information? “Where is this town?” Damien was unsure of himself.

“All right, let me give you another reason. A woman is the last person related to an Alpha, Argh; she just lost her whole family, which is sad. In the hazy night, the moonlight began to fade. Her eyes shine as brightly as the moon. There was a lot of smoke in the middle of the busy crowd. Luna stands with such beautiful ease that she seems to light up even on the darkest night. You will find it when she sings on stage because her voice is so beautiful.”
