In the Golden Moon Academy's sports arena,

A huge area filled with an athletic course for the students.

​​

Some are practicing their javelin throw, disc throw, and other athletic activities.

In the meantime, Selene is jogging with Scarlett and Chloe beside her for their track and field.

Though Selene and Scarlett are enjoying the jog but Chloe is struggling to keep up with her friends.

"Darn it! I do not know what made me agree to team up with you two. Both of you are sadist werewolves." Chloe panting while struggling to keep up with her friends.

"Come on, you can do it!" Selene encouraging Chloe to endure the tiring activity.

"We are even adjusting our pace here. So, keep up!" Scarlett pointing out the efforts they do just to go along with Chloe, unlike Selene who is being sensitive and encouraging to their witch friend.

Chloe stopped in her tracks and tried to catch her breath since they have been jogging for more than 5 laps already.

"I c-can't! You two are werewolves. So basically, both of you have more stamina than I do. I will never keep up with you two." Chloe reasoned out to her friends.

Selene and Scarlett had to stop along with Chloe since the three of them were tasked to be a team in their subject.

"Endorphins are good for our body. It reduces pain and boosts pleasure, resulting in a feeling of well-being. We have too much stress lately and I noticed that we three have been stressed with something that kept bothering our performance and mood lately." Selene trying to explain to her witch friend.

It is true that the three of them have been stressed and bothered by something lately.

For Scarlett, she is currently bothered with all the information that she has to keep for Selene's sake. Not even Selene and Prince Alcyd know how much it causes Scarlett's disposition. The she-wolf knows that once their Alpha Prince finds out the true connection of Selene with the Alpha of the Midnight Pack, it will cause so much conflict between two strong wolf packs.

For Selene, she does not know how much trouble it will bring now that Alpha Gerald is aware of her location.

It gives her so much worry if will she be able to keep her past a secret from her own mate. Even her spirit wolf is worried for Selene since the past is trying to catch up with her and it is something that may even cause trouble with her mate.

Though, it bothers her more that the corpse of her foster mother is stolen by a necromancer.

But the worry of Chloe is much far worse than the two she-wolves because Chloe just found out the truth about her parents.

"Hey girls, have you heard about the latest news?" Galvin approached the three since they are in the same class.

"What do you mean, the latest news?" Scarlett further asked Galvin while Freddie is standing beside him.

Freddie handed over the newspaper to Selene which they know will be interested in the latest news in the kingdom of werewolves.

"The mother and son tandem has proven lethal in the royal court. Prince Alarick has succeeded in getting the majority votes in the parliament to announce his claim to be the official heir to the throne. Despite the opposition of some ministers and his royal siblings. It will be announced soon in the royal court for the official declaration." Explained by Galvin.

"With this, we may even go to the royal palace sooner than we think. If Prince Alcyd wants to prevent Prince Alarick in completely acquiring that official declaration." Scarlett's reply to Galvin.

All of them started to ponder what will be the future awaits for the werewolf kingdom.

==========

In the royal court of the werewolf kingdom,

King Viktor sits on his throne as he watches the other political faction challenge the most recent decision of the majority in the parliament as -affirmative- in the claim of Prince Alarick to be the official heir to the throne.

"We cannot accept the majority vote!" Princess Shiveena outwardly expresses her opposition to her older brother's claim.

"The majority has spoken and you cannot challenge it. It is final!" Persephone informed the princess in front of the other audience in the royal court.

Prince Alarick smiling as his mother defends him.

"How can we allow to officiate someone like Prince Alarick to become the heir to the throne? Knowing that he caused the murder of the other generals of King Viktor. They are respected Alphas in this kingdom but he mercilessly killed others but failed to take me out." Revealed by the survivor general who was saved by Prince Ranku and other officers of Prince Alcyd.

A loud gasp and whispering took place by the revelation of the general.

Immediately Prince Alarick defended himself.

"What an accusation general! Do you have any evidence that it was me who attacked you?" Prince Alarick asked the general in defense.

"It was by your orders to send assassins to our territory and kill the generals that were against you since we do not support your claim to be the official heir to the throne…" Before the general could finish his explanation, Prince Alarick interrupted the explanation of the general.

"Excuse me general! Do you have any proof at all that I am the one who ordered these unfortunate attacks that caused the life of our respected and noble generals?" Prince Alarick putting off a convincing act in front of the audience of the royal court.

…

…

Only silence fell on the general's mouth since he cannot mention Prince Ranku's intervention or else it will involve the young prince and will only cause more suspicion knowing that Prince Alcyd sent his officers in his salvation.

It will only weaken their opposition since others may think that Prince Alcyd is just being bitter on the majority vote in the parliament.

Persephone Smiled at the confidence and cleverness of her son.

While the king of all Alpha werewolves realized how dangerous the tandem of the mother and son, Persephone and Prince Alarick, can be.

Both mother and son looked at each other while the opposing faction is panicking about how they will stop the mother and son duo.

'Mother, I will never let others steal what is rightfully mine!' Prince Alarick said in the mind-link.

'Oh, son of mine! You deserve everything! I will not let them deprive you of the way they did to me.' Declared by Persephone to her son in the mind-link

As the two stood confidently in front of their opponents in the royal court.
