00:00:00My Werewolf System Chapters 1561 to 1570
00:00:05Chapter 1561 The Chains Under the Moon
00:00:10The days inside the mountain prison blurred together. Stig sat in silence.
00:00:17Under the dim light, with his back against the cold wall, his wounds had begun to
00:00:23to heal, and the torn flesh mended itself at a slow but steady pace. The guards
00:00:29They still brought him food daily, meat, water, and occasionally a mixture of herbs to help him.
00:00:35to recover. It was strange. Why would they feed him, treat him, and keep him alive? He wouldn't be anymore.
00:00:44It was wise to let him weaken, too much to fight or escape. I couldn't tell if it was some kind of
00:00:50A trick, or maybe Rogan still saw him as one of his own. Perhaps this is his way of pretending that he still does.
00:00:57He cares, Stig thought bitterly. He kills those who leave, but forgives those who disobey him.
00:01:04Perhaps that would make him feel merciful. But he soon got his answer. The sound of footsteps echoed.
00:01:12through the cave, slowly and deliberately. The guard on watch immediately stiffened and took a
00:01:18Rogan entered from the side. The alpha's presence filled the space. The weight of his aura was enough to
00:01:25thicken the air. Leave us alone, Rogan said simply, and the guard obeyed without hesitation, retreating until
00:01:32that its scent disappeared completely. For a few moments, there was silence. Then Rogan spoke,
00:01:40In a deceptively calm tone, I'll ask the question anyway, Steve. Do you still think that
00:01:47Was what I did stupid? Steve didn't look away. Despite the chains, despite the pain
00:01:54Though etched into his muscles, his will had not been broken. His spirit burned with the same intensity.
00:02:00The usual intensity. Of course, Steve said emphatically. You call it protecting the pack,
00:02:08But what you did wasn't protection, it was a massacre. You talk about family, but you spilled blood.
00:02:14of our family. That's something I can never forgive. Rogan's jaw tightened, but not
00:02:21He said nothing. What's your plan now? Steve continued. Keep me here forever? Come here every day?
00:02:31To ask me if I've changed my mind? Do you think that'll work? He scoffed. You'll have to think of something.
00:02:39Better. Rogan didn't respond to the provocation. He simply shook his head, almost pityingly.
00:02:47"No, Steve," she said. "I won't have to do anything." Her eyes glowed faintly in the darkness.
00:02:55I will continue to lead this pack. I will make us stronger, as I always have. And when others
00:03:02They come here asking to leave, asking to join them, I will make sure they never become enemies
00:03:08that threaten what we've built. Steve's lips curled in disgust. Even now,
00:03:16Even after everything, Rogan justified the murder in the name of unity. Do you think that
00:03:22"Is it strength?" Steve asked. "Do you think fear and control will keep us safe? You're wrong."
00:03:29Rogan. All you're doing is turning this place into a tomb.
00:03:35Rogan took another step closer, his shadow falling over Steve. "Then you wait and see," he said.
00:03:42When the time comes, when the other alpha brings war to our doorstep,
00:03:47You'll finally understand. You'll see I was right. You'll see that I'm the one who keeps this family alive.
00:03:54She bent down slightly and lowered her gaze to meet Steve's. And when that happens,
00:04:01You'll fight by my side again. Because no matter how much you hate me, this is still your family. And you'll do it.
00:04:08whatever is necessary to protect them. Steve's heart sank when he heard those words.
00:04:15Rogan was right about one thing: Steve did want to protect the pack. He would do anything for them.
00:04:21to keep them safe. But right now, the biggest threat to their safety wasn't the outside world.
00:04:28It was Rogan. "I want to try something," Rogan said suddenly, standing up straight again.
00:04:35Transform yourself. Try to break those chains. Steve blinked.
00:04:41"What? I want to see if these restraints hold," Rogan said. "I'll know if you're faking it."
00:04:48So don't bother pretending. Steve stared at him for a moment,
00:04:53almost laughing at the absurdity of the situation. Now he's treating me like a wild animal, she thought.
00:05:00Then he spoke, his voice cold and firm, no. You are no longer a man I listen to. If my
00:05:07Words mean nothing to you, then you're no longer my leader. Rogan's expression...
00:05:13It hardened. He grunted and turned away. Fine, he said. Then you can starve to death. Perhaps hunger
00:05:23"Make you more obedient." He left without another word. Steve remained silent for a while.
00:05:31Then the guards returned with a new torch that flickered faintly against the walls
00:05:36damp. One of them stayed a little longer than usual. The guard looked at him, really looked at him,
00:05:43And Steve saw no trace of malice in her eyes. Only sadness. Then, without a word, he turned away.
00:05:51And he walked away. Time passed. The hours blurred into the night. Outside, at the camp,
00:05:59Life went on as usual. Some werewolves preferred the night, as their instincts became more acute.
00:06:06Under the moonlight. Others, once human, clung to the day. The pack never truly slept.
00:06:14There were always voices, always movement, always watchful eyes. That's why Rogan had guards.
00:06:20Working in shifts. Every few hours, one would take over from the other, constantly monitoring the
00:06:27Steve's cell. When the next guard arrived, the cave was darker. He remained silent.
00:06:34For a few moments, he peered through the carved stone bars. Then, without warning, he gave
00:06:41With his back to the entrance, he raised his hand. A single swipe of his claw pierced the stone as if it were
00:06:47Paper. The dust scattered, the cracks spread across the wall until the bars were
00:06:53They broke completely. Steve's head jerked up in shock. The guard approached.
00:07:01I'm getting you out of here. What are you doing, Steve? If Rogan finds out, he'll kill you. (Guard's voice)
00:07:09He trembled slightly, but his gaze was steady. If he hadn't saved me then, I'd be dead by now.
00:07:17You pulled me out of the pit where those humans threw me. You gave me a place to belong. He extended the
00:07:25Hand towards the chains. I don't know what's going on between you and Rogan, but if I do know this, you don't deserve to be treated like this.
00:07:32Steve's chest tightened. He wanted to refuse. Even if he escaped, Rogan would find out, and that wolf,
00:07:40This kind-hearted idiot would pay the price. I couldn't let that happen. But before
00:07:48As if to speak, more footsteps echoed in the cave. "What?" a voice whispered. "Someone's here already."
00:07:57Steve turned around. A group of young werewolves stood in the doorway, faces he recognized.
00:08:03"It was a moment. It looked like the guard was releasing him," another said. "So it didn't make sense."
00:08:10"Steal the key," muttered a third. Esteve blinked, speechless. "What are you doing here?" They didn't answer.
00:08:20They moved quickly, helping the guard break the remaining chains. As soon as one of the young men
00:08:26Wolves unlocked the last shackle with the key, Steve fell forward, barely holding on.
00:08:32Don't worry about us, Steve, one of them said with a slight smile. You saved us from our
00:08:40old lives. We couldn't just stand by and watch you rot here. Another smiled
00:08:47Nervous. Go. Do what you have to do. Get out of here and live your life. Steve stared at them,
00:08:56with a heavy heart. Now that we have freed you, the young gnobo added softly, you have no
00:09:02Choice. Chapter 1562, A Choice Among Packs. The forest seemed endless as
00:09:11Steve walked through it, his mind racing faster than his feet could move.
00:09:16endure. Every few steps, he looked over his shoulder, almost expecting the men of
00:09:22Rogan made his way through the trees. He couldn't stop thinking about the wolves that...
00:09:27They had freed the guard who had risked his life and the young men
00:09:31The wolf had slipped into the prison to break its chains. They were brave, perhaps.
00:09:37Foolish, but brave. And now, because of him, they were in danger. He imagined the reaction
00:09:45Rogan's reaction upon discovering the empty cell, the broken bars, the shattered chains, would be furious.
00:09:52Undoubtedly. But more than that, there would be punishment. Rogan would look for someone to blame, and
00:09:59If I couldn't find Steve, I'd resort to the second-best option. My thoughts twisted.
00:10:05Steve's stomach felt like a knife. Maybe he could go back, he thought desperately. Explain it.
00:10:12Somehow, tell him that the others were deceived, that they were only following my orders. But
00:10:19He knew the truth. Rogan was no longer the type of leader who listened. Once he decided that someone
00:10:26He had betrayed her; there was no going back. There was only blood. That's why, even though she longed to protect them,
00:10:33Steve knew the only way to keep them alive was to disappear. If Rogan thought he had
00:10:40Having escaped alone, the blame would fall on him, and perhaps, just perhaps, the others would be saved. Even so,
00:10:48A dark thought lingered. But for how long? With a man like Rogan in power,
00:10:55Peace was always temporary. In time, someone else would raise their voice. Someone else would die.
00:11:03The forest opened into a clear dress, and he froze when he looked up. Before him was
00:11:08They raised the imposing walls of a familiar kingdom, the same stone fortifications he had seen
00:11:14Not long ago, etched in her memory by the light of the fire and the light of the moon. The kingdom of
00:11:21Redwin realized. His heart sank. I can't believe it. After all, I ended up here. It wasn't
00:11:31Intentional, at least, that's what he told himself. His mind wandered as his feet carried him and...
00:11:38Somehow, she'd walked straight into the one place she'd sworn to stay away from. But how?
00:11:44Could he come in after everything he'd said? He'd promised to take care of everything himself.
00:11:50To correct Rogan's mistakes without involving Jack and his pack. And there he was, standing like a fool.
00:11:57Edge of the woods, staring at the gates. He was still trying to think of a reason to
00:12:03He turned back when a voice called from behind him. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
00:12:08Steve turned around, his muscles tense. A young man in yellow armor descended from the trees and
00:12:15He landed softly on his feet. Just by the smell, Steve knew what he was: a werewolf.
00:12:22One of Jack's men. Recognition flashed in the young man's eyes. "Wait, you're from the other side."
00:12:29Pack, right? Those inside were waiting for you. —What are you doing standing there?
00:12:35Steve blinked in surprise. "Waiting for me?" "Yes," the young guard said with a smile.
00:12:44"They said you'd probably come back." "I guess they were right."
00:12:49He didn't wait for an answer, he simply gestured for Steve to follow him while
00:12:54He began to retreat toward the walls. Steve sighed, running a hand through his hair.
00:13:00I didn't have the strength to argue. Perhaps it was fate, perhaps just bad luck, but somehow
00:13:08Or another, she couldn't avoid this encounter forever. She needed to tell Jack the truth.
00:13:14about Rogan, about the murders, about everything. The guards at the gate recognized him from
00:13:20They acted immediately and let him pass without a word. Meanwhile, Steve walked through the familiar streets.
00:13:26From the kingdom of Redwing, the tension in his chest began to lessen, though only slightly.
00:13:32He wasted no time. He went straight to Jack's office, opened the door, and went in.
00:13:39Jack looked up from his desk, with the familiar glint of curiosity in his eyes.
00:13:45Steve saw several werewolves gathered nearby, those who had already fought alongside him.
00:13:50"Steve?" Jack asked, standing up. "What happened?" Instead of explaining it twice,
00:13:59Steve asked Jack to gather everyone who had been part of the rescue teams.
00:14:05When they met, she told them everything. She didn't soften a single word. She explained how Rogan had been
00:14:12secretly killing any werewolf who wanted to leave, as Steve had confronted him and
00:14:17He had been imprisoned for defying him, and how he had only escaped thanks to those who had
00:14:23risked their lives to help him. When it was over, the room fell silent. Then came the
00:14:30Voices. No. Said one of the young wolves, shaking his head. No, that can't be true. Rogan no
00:14:40I would, I couldn't. Another stepped forward, his expression grim. But it makes sense. Not a single
00:14:49Not a single wolf that left its camp arrived here. And now that Steve is gone, he added someone.
00:14:56Moreover, there is no one left to stop him. He will continue doing it. He will kill anyone who tries to leave.
00:15:04"And what about the wolves that stayed behind?" another asked. "When they find out what happened,"
00:15:10Rogan won't forgive them either. Panic began to spread through the room.
00:15:16The voices rose and overlapped. If he starts killing again, he won't stop.
00:15:22And if anyone tries to run towards us, they'll die before they get here. So we have
00:15:29We have to do something. Do something? one of the older wolves snapped. Against Rogan? We're not even part of it.
00:15:38of his pack. We can't interfere. We can't fight him directly. If we tried,
00:15:46We would all be massacred. Silence fell again. The truth was painful. No one dared to
00:15:54He said what everyone was thinking: that the only way to stop Rogan might be to declare war on him.
00:16:00But none of them wanted to say it out loud. Jack, however, watched them all silently.
00:16:09Finally, he crossed his arms. "I know what you're thinking," he said. "And you're right. As things stand,"
00:16:17This is not our fight. Rogan's pack is independent of ours. He paused and
00:16:24He narrowed his eyes slightly. But that could change. The room stirred. Jack turned the
00:16:33A look towards Steve. You've done so much for both sides, Steve. You've risked everything to protect the
00:16:40werewolves, even those that didn't belong to you. And if you want my help now, I'll give it to you.
00:16:48Steve frowned. "How?" "By making this our fight," Jack said simply. "If you join me..."
00:16:56Pack, your problem becomes mine. And when my pack is threatened, I smile slightly,
00:17:03We'll face it together. Esteve looked at him, puzzled. "Shall I come with you?" Jack nodded. "It's the best way."
00:17:12Simple. Once you're one of us, Rogan's crimes against your people will be ours.
00:17:18"But how would that work?" Steve asked quietly. "How can I join your pack if..."
00:17:27Do I already belong to one? Jack leaned back slightly, his tone calm but determined. Oh, that's it.
00:17:35"Easy," he said. "We have a moon with us." Chapter 1563, Blood Ties and Family.
00:17:44Wait, you have a moon? Steve asked, his voice echoing throughout the chamber. He could hardly believe it.
00:17:52that I had just heard. Rogan's pack also had a moon, but in that pack, the title was
00:17:59It had become little more than a decoration, a trophy meant to complete the image of strength
00:18:04and the power of the alpha. Rogan's moon had no real authority, nor influence in the affairs of
00:18:10The pack. She was respected, yes, but her word carried no weight. That's why hearing Jack mention
00:18:18Luna took Steve completely by surprise. "You mean you have someone?" she asked.
00:18:25Steve, with disbelief on his face, asked, "You have a wife? Since when? That's the last thing I remember."
00:18:32You were always hanging out with that king guy and the rest of your friends. You didn't have time for anyone else.
00:18:39Jack couldn't help but laugh, a wide grin spreading across his face. You may have
00:18:45"I've learned a lot about werewolf ways, brother," he said, "but you still have
00:18:51A very limited view of the world. Tell me, when did the rules say that a moon had to be the
00:18:57wife of an alpha? Esteve froze, realizing he had never questioned it.
00:19:04It was simply a tradition, something ingrained in every werewolf since the beginning of his species.
00:19:09Jack continued, his voice calm but full of pride. Our moon is not my companion in that
00:19:16It makes sense. She works at our medical center. She's the kind of woman everyone in the pack...
00:19:23We admire him; he's gentle, kind, but strong enough to put any impulsive wolf in his place.
00:19:29Instead. Whenever there's tension or fights break out, she's the one who steps in to calm things down.
00:19:35Cheer up. Nobody wants to upset her. It was only natural that she would become our moon. Esteve looked at him
00:19:43Shocked. But you know what that means, right? I'm sure you've heard it before. To release the
00:19:51True power of an alpha, moon, and alpha must be one. Sharing a bond that transcends the spirit
00:19:58And the blood. Jack's smile widened, a hint of amusement in his eyes. Oh, I know that very well.
00:20:06"Fine," he said matter-of-factly. "But for some reason, I don't think my wife would be very happy if I continued..."
00:20:13That advice. Esteve blinked. It took him a few seconds to process the words. Then he opened his eyes wide.
00:20:21Eyes. Wife, he shouted. So you have a wife, and the woman who is your wife isn't your moon? Jack
00:20:30He simply felt it, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Esteve rubbed his temples,
00:20:37murmuring softly, "You've changed so much. I don't even know what to say anymore." Jack leaned back in his
00:20:44He sat down, chuckling softly. "This might surprise you even more," he said, "but I already have children." Steve remained silent.
00:20:52His mouth agape. Children? Jack nodded again. A boy and a girl. Eighteen years old. Neither has given
00:21:03They still show signs of being like us, but I'm keeping an eye on them. You know I developed too.
00:21:09late. For a moment, Steve was speechless. He had imagined Jack's life from now on in
00:21:16Go ahead, but not like that. I didn't even know my brother had a family, much less one so...
00:21:23reserved. Jack continued, softening his tone. My wife is not a werewolf. She's a member of the
00:21:31Council of the Kingdom of Redwing. Initially, our relationship was purely professional; I wanted to strengthen
00:21:38the bonds between our pack and the humans who ruled this place. But one thing led to the
00:21:44Another one, and, well, here we are. Steve still hadn't processed it. You have a wife, two kids, a moon that
00:21:52"She's not your partner, and somehow, all of this works?" Jack laughed again, shaking his head.
00:22:00I didn't say it was easy. My family is something I keep private, even from most people.
00:22:06pack. They know me as their leader, not as a husband or father. Sometimes I bring my wife and children, but
00:22:14To everyone else, they are just human visitors who like being surrounded by werewolves.
00:22:20He smiled slightly. I think it's better this way. It shows others that humans can
00:22:27to live in peace among ourselves, even if the story behind it isn't entirely true. Sometimes, a little
00:22:34A lie can be very beneficial. Steve couldn't help but admire him for that. Jack not only led
00:22:41not a pack, but rather he was building a bridge between two worlds. Jack's voice deepened slightly,
00:22:47Her expression turned more serious. And as for the connection to Alpha Luna? I've already accepted that perhaps it will never happen.
00:22:54Unlock all the power that emanates from him. But that doesn't matter. My strength is enough for me. I no longer seek power for
00:23:03The simple act of doing it. Esteve nodded slowly, still trying to process it all.
00:23:09"You've changed," she said softly. "Do you sound happy?"
00:23:14"I am," Jack replied with a warm smile. "Happier than ever."
00:23:20Once the conversation ended, Jack asked for Luna to be brought to his office. Upon entering,
00:23:27Steve immediately understood why she was so respected in the pack. Her presence
00:23:32She was both reassuring and authoritarian, a soft voice with eyes that seemed to see right through you.
00:23:38The person. He gave a slight bow to Jack and then turned his attention to Steve,
00:23:43Recognizing his name instantly, Jack explained everything about Steve's imprisonment.
00:23:49about Rogan's crimes and about the plan they had in mind, to change Steve's loyalty from
00:23:55from one pack to another. It wasn't an easy process. The spiritual bond between an alpha and his wolves is not
00:24:02It was something that could be easily undone. It had to be cut carefully, through a ritual.
00:24:08And with the guidance of the moon. As the moon prepared, Steve felt the energy shift in
00:24:15The room. A faint buzzing filled the air, soft at first, then it grew louder.
00:24:22The candles flickered and the temperature dropped slightly as a faint white light began
00:24:27to circle the floor. Jack placed a reassuring hand on Steve's shoulder.
00:24:33"I'll go with you," he said.
00:24:35—I can't take the whole pack, our people need to stay safe,
00:24:40But you and I, we can go together. We can end this. Steve turned to him.
00:24:47"Jack, if you come with me, you'll risk everything—your pack, your family." Jack interrupted him with a
00:24:55A firm smile. —Don't worry.
00:24:58"I won't die, Steve. Not now. I have a family to protect and friends who are counting on me."
00:25:05He looked out the window, lost in thought. "I think I finally understand what motivated Ra all those years ago."
00:25:14He wasn't just fighting for power or pride. He was fighting for the people he loved.
00:25:19Chapter 1564. The Forging of Fire.
00:25:24The ritual was complete. Steve felt the difference instantly. The moment he
00:25:30The bond broke, something deep inside him shifted, something heavy, invisible, and suffocating.
00:25:36It detached. For the first time in years, he felt light. The strange pressure that used to course through his
00:25:43The skin had completely vanished whenever he was near Jack or the other werewolves.
00:25:49It was as if a chain had broken, one he hadn't realized was weighing him down until
00:25:54The time. She exhaled, almost laughing with relief. "It's incredible," she said softly.
00:26:01"That feeling is gone." Jack smiled knowingly.
00:26:06"The others," Steve said, turning to him with renewed energy.
00:26:11—Can you do this for them too? For those who came with me? If they accept the bond,
00:26:18They can join your pack and live safely here. It would be better for them than wandering alone.
00:26:25Jack placed a strong hand on Steve's shoulder and his smile widened.
00:26:30—You don't even need to ask. Any werewolf who comes with us will be accepted.
00:26:36Just like you. They'll fit right in here, I promise. But for now,
00:26:42He clenched his fist and placed it in her palm, saying, "You and I have something much more important to attend to."
00:26:48Steve instantly recognized his brother's gaze. It was a spark he hadn't seen before.
00:26:54In years, the glimmer of old Jack, the one who once threw himself into danger without hesitation,
00:26:59The one who lived for the challenge of battle. —You said it would just be the two of us—he said
00:27:05Steve. —And I think it's the right decision. No one else should get involved in this.
00:27:12But he hesitated, frowning. "I'm not sure if that's possible."
00:27:17"I know how strong you are, Jack, but Rogan is on another level." He paused, the memory of his last
00:27:26Confrontation appeared in his mind, the crushing force, the unnatural sound of bone
00:27:31breaking down and reshaping beneath Rogan's skin. —He's been Alpha longer than any of them.
00:27:37"He's been a werewolf," Steve said. "And his body, it's not normal. He can do things you've never seen before."
00:27:44I had seen it before. When I fought him, his bones, he clenched his fists, they popped out of his body,
00:27:51like weapons. I barely survived like that. Jack listened silently, his face unreadable. And even if
00:28:00"We're up against him," Steve continued, "but we'll have to deal with the rest of the pack. Some of them might..."
00:28:07They hesitate to fight me, but Rogan's command is profound. If he gives the order, they'll have no choice.
00:28:14They will fight to the death. Jack felt thoughtful, his expression softening for a moment. Then,
00:28:22Without saying a word, he turned and gestured for Steve to follow him. "I think it's time to show you something," he said.
00:28:30They walked through the winding streets of the Red Wings kingdom until the air began to warm up,
00:28:35Then to warm up. The distant metallic sound filled the air, echoing off the stone walls.
00:28:42Steve recognized the sound instantly. "The blacksmith district," he asked.
00:28:48Jack didn't answer. He kept walking, a slight smile playing at the corner of his lips. The more he...
00:28:56The further inside, the hotter it got. Enormous ovens lined the walls, each one glowing.
00:29:03Red and bright. Sparks flew as werewolves and humans worked side by side.
00:29:09hammering steel on anvils, shaping swords and forging armor.
00:29:14Steve looked around in amazement. He had seen the place before, but this time something inside him felt
00:29:20Different, stronger, more alive. Jack led him past the workers to the center of the
00:29:27forge, where a huge furnace stood, taller and wider than all the others. The heat it radiated
00:29:34It was so intense it made the air vibrate. Jack approached the oven door and grabbed the heavy
00:29:40metal handle. Without hesitation, he opened it. A wave of scorching heat erupted out.
00:29:47with flames roaring like an unleashed beast. Jack. Steve shouted, shielding his face from the heat.
00:29:55Are you crazy? Jack returned his gaze with a calm expression. Calm down. Then,
00:30:03Without another word, he stepped into the fire. Steve's eyes widened. For a
00:30:10In that instant, panic gripped him. The flames engulfed Jack completely.
00:30:15The light shone so brightly it blinded him. He walked toward the center of the oven, Steve thought.
00:30:22disbelief. Not even with their strength could anyone survive that heat. But then,
00:30:29Through the roar of the fire, he heard a voice. "Calm down, Steve," Jack shouted. His tone was
00:30:37Carefree, almost amused. Just come in. Steve hesitated. The fire licked at the edges of the door.
00:30:45metallic, spreading in waves of heat so strong they made her skin crawl. But the voice of
00:30:51Jack was resolute, and somehow, hearing her eased his fear. After taking a deep breath,
00:30:57Steve stepped forward. As soon as he entered, a flame engulfed him. At first it burned,
00:31:05But the deeper he penetrated, the less it hurt. His werewolf regeneration eased the pain, and
00:31:11After a few seconds, he disappeared completely. He emerged on the other side, his boots clattering against
00:31:17solid metal. The flames disappeared behind him as he entered a sealed chamber. The view he had
00:31:24The sight before him took his breath away. The room was shaped like an enormous dome, forged in
00:31:31Polished metal reflected the glow of the surrounding bonfire. Flames still danced nearby.
00:31:37from the door and along the ventilation grilles high in the ceiling, but the air
00:31:41It was quiet there, almost peaceful. Weapons and armor lined the walls, shelves with swords.
00:31:48Gleaming, curved blades, axes, and gauntlets. Tables filled the center of the room, covered with
00:31:56Intricate pieces of armor, each radiating a faint energy. This,
00:32:02Steve whispered. What is this place? Jack smiled proudly. This is my private forge, he said. Built
00:32:12After the end of the shadow plague, the kingdom may have been saved, but the problems never truly disappeared.
00:32:18They disappear completely. Rey was gone, my old friends were growing old, and I realized I couldn't
00:32:25I couldn't trust anyone else to protect what mattered most to me. She looked around, and her expression changed.
00:32:31He softened when he saw the firelight reflected in her eyes. So I created this place, with the help of the
00:32:37Dwarves, the best artisans the world has ever known. And with the book you gave me then. It happened
00:32:45hand by the edge of a sword that lay nearby. We created something special. The finest weapons and armor
00:32:52The most resistant suits ever created for our species. Steve took one step closer to one of the suits,
00:32:59A dark and gold suit with ancient runes engraved on it. The air around him seemed to vibrate.
00:33:06Did you do all this? Jack nodded. Every piece in this room is designed for werewolves.
00:33:13Lighter than steel, so strong they could even take on a dragon. And they'll move with
00:33:20your body as if they were part of you. She turned, smiling confidently. So go ahead. Choose.
00:33:30Chapter 1565 The Alpha's Weapons. There weren't as many weapons in this forge as in the other workshops.
00:33:37They were all outdoors, but each one radiated an unmistakable presence. The air itself felt heavier.
00:33:44There, filled with warmth, magic, and memories. Steve knew at first glance that every object in this
00:33:51The room was special, crafted with a care that surpassed even that of the finest blacksmiths.
00:33:57He approached a weapon that hung proudly on the wall, an enormous warhammer. The head
00:34:03The hammer was engraved with the image of a howling jaguar, and its open jaws shone with a
00:34:09faint blue light that pulsed where her gem-encrusted eyes were embedded.
00:34:15The craftsmanship was impeccable. Even standing close, Steve could feel the energy vibrating through it.
00:34:22metal, as if the weapon itself were alive. Around it, swords and bows rested on
00:34:29polished supports, their edges gleaming with enchantments. There were curved daggers, swords of
00:34:35double-edged, even what looked like a silver crossbow reinforced with veins of beast crystal.
00:34:42Most of them seemed unused, waiting, almost expectantly, for their bearer.
00:34:47"What did you mean when you said these weapons were made for us?" Steve asked.
00:34:54running his fingers gently over the cold metal surface of the war hammer.
00:34:59Jack approached. "Do you know that beast weapons are classified by grades?"
00:35:04Right? —The power of each one depends on the quality of the crystal used to forge it and on
00:35:10The skill of the blacksmith who shapes it. —Esteve nodded. —Of course.
00:35:16"The stronger the beast, the more powerful the weapon." "Exactly," Jack continued.
00:35:22—Normally, the weapon's ability depends on the nature of the crystal, fire, lightning,
00:35:29Shadow, whatever. The forger decides the shape of the weapon, but that doesn't always align perfectly.
00:35:36with the crystal's energy. You can forge a fire beast crystal to turn it into
00:35:41A sword, for example, but it might work better as a spear or gauntlet. The more you press it,
00:35:48The weaker the result. He turned to one of the glowing ovens and smiled.
00:35:54sufficiency. —But with the book you gave me so many years ago, and with the help of the dwarves,
00:36:00We found a way to take it a step further. —Steve frowned.
00:36:06"One more step?" Jack nodded.
00:36:09—We learned to limit power, to control it, to channel it. You see, these weapons are different.
00:36:18In the hands of an ordinary human, they would still be strong, of course. But they would never reach their full potential.
00:36:24potential. Because their true energy and abilities only react to us.
00:36:31Steel gasped in fear of the werewolves.
00:36:35Jack reached out and grabbed the handle of the gigantic warhammer that Steed had
00:36:40He had been examining it. With a fluid movement, he lifted it from the wall and brandished it naturally.
00:36:46in the air. Despite its enormous size, he handled it as if it weighed no more than a walking stick.
00:36:53"This one," said Jack, as the hammer head glowed dimly as it moved,
00:36:58It's not just any demonic weapon. It's a demonic weapon created for an alpha. It can draw
00:37:05The strength of all the werewolves in his pack. His energy, our bond, flows through
00:37:11of her. Steed's eyes opened wide, a weapon that channels the strength of all
00:37:17The pack. I could already imagine the implications. No common beast crystal weapon could
00:37:24To do something like this. This went beyond forging, it was evolution. He looked around again,
00:37:31with his heart beating strongly with emotion.
00:37:35—So the armor, the other pieces, are all like that too?
00:37:39Jack smiled. Some more than others.
00:37:44—Each one has a different effect, but each piece here was designed for us.
00:37:48—To move forward with our transformations, to amplify our power, and to survive
00:37:54to battles that no ordinary warrior could ever face. He turned and reached for another weapon hanging on
00:38:00The opposite wall, a greatsword almost as tall as he was, its blade gleaming like a silver mirror,
00:38:07edged with delicate gold threads. When she lifted it, the room seemed to tremble slightly. Then,
00:38:14In one swift motion, Jack extended his other, free arm. Golden armor began to...
00:38:21It glowed all over his body, first on his forearms, then on his chest, and then on his shoulders. Each plate
00:38:28It formed perfectly, wrapping itself perfectly around her figure as if it had
00:38:33It had been molded by unseen hands. In a matter of seconds, Jack was encased in armor.
00:38:39glistening, it looked as if it had been poured over him. Steve took a step back,
00:38:45stunned. "It's a special forging technique," Jack explained, flexing his hand as he
00:38:51The armor moved with him like liquid metal. "The armor is bound to my blood. It clings to me."
00:38:58"My body transforms when I need it." —"That's incredible," Steve said, amazement in his voice.
00:39:04Jack laughed. "It has its drawbacks. Once tied up, you can't give it to anyone else. So now..."
00:39:14We only use it in exceptional cases; it's not practical for a growing flock. But for me,
00:39:21It's perfect. He turned, revealing the back of his armor. A reinforced strap crossed it,
00:39:28It crossed diagonally, forming a huge X. Without hesitation, Jack slid the greatsword to one side,
00:39:35and the blade clicked into place with a soft metallic click. Then he lifted the enormous hammer
00:39:41war and held it on the opposite side, crossing the two weapons behind him as twin symbols of his
00:39:46authority. —Both —he said proudly— are mine. And that armor —he pointed to a set of plates of
00:39:55The blackened steel that rested on a nearby shelf is for you.
00:40:00Steve approached slowly. The armor was darker than Jack's, crisscrossed with faint lines.
00:40:06Crimson veins pulsed like streaks of molten metal. It retained the same golden appearance. Even before.
00:40:13Upon touching it, he perceived its energy vibrating faintly in the air. Jack spoke again, in an almost
00:40:20Instructions. Place your hand on it. You insert the metal and it will do the rest. Steve followed
00:40:28His instructions. As soon as his energy flowed into the armor, it began to move.
00:40:35Pieces shifted and contracted, swirling around it like molten steel. Plates formed.
00:40:42on her arms, chest, and legs, joining together until they fit perfectly. She lowered her gaze with
00:40:48Astonishment. The armor seemed weightless, but he could feel the power coursing through it. His muscles...
00:40:56They tensed instinctively, and a wild, pure, and invigorating energy coursed through their bodies. It was as if the
00:41:03His own armor was breathing with him. Incredible. Steve whispered. It's like I've eaten a feast.
00:41:11Completely. Jack laughed. That's how your power flows. It draws on your ki and amplifies it. The armor has no abilities.
00:41:20It doesn't have flashy or basic tricks, but it's solid. It will protect you even when you transform and
00:41:26It will increase your defense and stamina. Steve flexed his fist and felt the strength course through him. Jack
00:41:34He continued, "It also has a self-repair function, although it's slow. Don't rely on it during a..."
00:41:41The fight is there to prevent it from breaking down over time. Steve looked up from the armor and
00:41:47She met Jack's gaze. For the first time since their reunion, she felt something she had
00:41:53Buried for years, hope. Jack smiled slightly, a glimmer of warmth in his
00:42:00her golden eyes. Now, she said, stepping aside and pointing to the gun racks that
00:42:06They surrounded them; it's time for you to choose your weapon. Chapter 1566. The Wolf's Weapon.
00:42:14Steve had already used beast weapons. When he roamed the lands rescuing lost wolves
00:42:20And as he gathered his small group of allies, a weapon was a necessity, sometimes the only thing he needed.
00:42:25separated them from death. They amplified a werewolf's power in extraordinary ways.
00:42:31And no one in their right mind would deny the advantage that entailed. But weapons had never
00:42:37had a place in Rogan's philosophy. The alpha saw them as human inventions,
00:42:43tools of a weaker race that relied on craftsmanship and materials to compensate
00:42:48their lack of physical strength and power. Rogan had always preached that werewolves didn't need
00:42:54Such things. His claws, fangs, and instincts were his weapons; his fur and muscles, his armor.
00:43:02It was a belief that had spread among the pack. Esteve, however, was never part of it.
00:43:09He was completely convinced. He understood the pride of his race, the tradition, but also the need for survival. Against
00:43:16Wizards, soldiers, and beasts capable of ravaging entire forests; pride did not stop the fire nor the
00:43:22Magic. Logic, yes. And a well-forged suit of armor could mean the difference between life and death.
00:43:30Death. He had managed to convince Rogan to at least allow the armor. He had taken him
00:43:36It took time, debate, and several heated discussions, but finally Rogan gave in, reluctantly.
00:43:43Even so, Steve never managed to convince him that guns also had their place. That's why,
00:43:50Steve had grown accustomed to relying solely on his body. On his claws, his strength, his instincts.
00:43:58It had been a long time since he had held a real weapon. Now, surrounded by rows of swords,
00:44:04Gleaming bows and axes, each whirring faintly with power, made him feel like a stranger.
00:44:10in a place that demanded belonging. She walked slowly along the wall, her fingers tracing its contours.
00:44:16the cold metal of two daggers. "There's almost a weapon here," he murmured, "for every type of fighter."
00:44:22"unimaginable." He passed by the curved daggers, the heavy broadswords, and a huge engraved bow.
00:44:29with runes that glowed faintly in the forge's light. None of them called to him. None of them made him feel
00:44:36Comfortable. He wasn't there to find something that would make him stronger. That was no longer the goal.
00:44:43"This isn't about me," Steve thought. "This is about taking down Rogan." He glanced over his shoulder at Jack,
00:44:51who kept adjusting the straps of his golden armor. The two enormous weapons, the hammer of
00:44:57War and the sword crossed behind him like twin wings of destruction. Jack had always been the
00:45:04A type of fighter who advanced fearlessly, overcoming obstacles with immense strength. That was his role.
00:45:11"If Jack is the sword that strikes," Steve thought, "then perhaps I'm destined to be the wall that..."
00:45:18"It's next to him." His gaze shifted to a gun that wasn't hanging on the wall. It was
00:45:24Leaning against a table, half in shadow, forgotten by the light. A shield. Steve walked towards her,
00:45:32Drawn by something he couldn't explain. It was long, almost as tall as his torso, and its lower edge
00:45:40It tapered to a sharp point. The front was engraved with the circular emblem.
00:45:46of a howling nobo, the same symbol he had seen on other weapons forged in that hidden place.
00:45:52But on this one, the engraving glowed faintly, as if it were alive. He raised the shield with one hand.
00:45:59He blinked in surprise. It was light. Too light. For a moment he thought it might be hollow.
00:46:07But when he tilted it, he felt the weight shift perfectly, balanced as if
00:46:13It was molded for his grip. "That's a good decision," Jack said from behind.
00:46:18with a broad smile. "In the hands of a werewolf, it's lighter than a feather,
00:46:24but stronger than ever." He paused, then added, "And no, I didn't just say that for the sake of rhyming,
00:46:30"So why don't we go eat a lime?" Esteve stared at him. "Jack."
00:46:37Jack coughed and scratched the back of his neck, his face turning slightly red. "Okay, let's get serious. Anyway."
00:46:46He approached, resting a hand on the edge of the shield. "That piece isn't just for defense. It has
00:46:54his own tricks. Pour Tuki into it and then use the tip. Try to hit the air in front of you."
00:47:02Esteve raised an eyebrow. "You should improve your explanations. Just trust me." With a sigh,
00:47:10Steve adjusted his grip. The broad face of the shield covered his chest and most of his legs.
00:47:17But when he turned it vertically, the tip extended beyond his fist, almost like the tip of a spear.
00:47:24He took a deep breath, focusing his energy. Suki pulsed through his veins and penetrated the metal. Immediately,
00:47:32He felt the shield come to life in his hands. The metal moved, subtly at first, and then,
00:47:39Suddenly, an internal mechanism clicked. Steve moved forward forcefully. In an instant,
00:47:46Part of the shield shot out, its pointed end extending like a propelled sword
00:47:52by an invisible force. A gust of wind swept through the room, stirring the embers of
00:47:58the nearby forges. The extension gently retracted into place and the shield regained its
00:48:04Its original shape was accompanied by a faint metallic buzz. Esteve blinked. It's moving. Jack nodded.
00:48:12Pride. I told you. It's good for defense and one of the deadliest weapons in the right hands.
00:48:20The edge can pierce steel, and that extension can shatter barriers or impale at close range.
00:48:26Basically, you have a weapon and a fortress in one. Steve stared at the shield, passing the
00:48:34Thumbs up at the gleaming wolf badge. It's perfect, he admitted quietly. I can protect you.
00:48:41and attack when the time is right. Jack crossed his arms with a broad smile. Then,
00:48:48That decides everything. The armor suits you, the shield completes the look. I think we're ready.
00:48:57Steve turned to him, his expression hardening. "You mean?" Jack nodded. "Yes. No more delays."
00:49:07If we're going to stop Rogan, the time is now. Esteve hesitated. His thoughts turned to the
00:49:15Moreover, there were the werewolves who had stayed behind, those who had risked everything to free him.
00:49:20from his prison. Part of him wanted to say goodbye, to thank them for what they had done.
00:49:26But Jack's next words made him back down. "No need to say goodbye," he said with
00:49:33Stay strong. We're not going to die, Steve. We're going to win and come back.
00:49:39Chapter 1567
00:49:41Back to the mountain. Jack and Steve silently left Red Lala's kingdom. They didn't announce it.
00:49:49to the pack. They didn't tell the city guards, or the blacksmiths, or even the
00:49:55Council members, who had begun to respect Jack's leadership. Jack didn't either
00:50:01He had told his family, only that he was embarking on another mission, the same excuse he had used
00:50:06Countless times. For them, it was just another mission. But this time, Jack knew that maybe
00:50:13He would not return the same. The two ran together through the desert. Their armor gleamed.
00:50:20Dimly bathed in moonlight, each piece molded perfectly to their bodies. They both
00:50:27They had partially transformed; their legs were those of werewolves, with tense muscles and
00:50:32Ready, their claws digging into the ground as they ran through forests and rolling plains.
00:50:39They moved fast, too fast for the human eye to follow, but for Steve,
00:50:45Every second still felt agonizingly slow. The longer they were gone,
00:50:51The more opportunities Rogan would have to discover what happened, the more chances he would have. And when Rogan discovered the truth,
00:50:57when he realized that Steve's imprisonment had ended at the hands of his own
00:51:01followers, there would be blood. "It's been a really tough day," Steve murmured softly as they ran
00:51:08through the countryside. "It wouldn't have hurt them yet; he's methodical. But if we wait any longer, someone will pay."
00:51:15because of what had happened." Jack didn't respond at first. His mind was focused on the horizon, on the
00:51:23The dark silhouette of the mountains slowly made its way into view. When they finally slowed their pace,
00:51:29The craggy peaks stretched out before them; the air was sharp and cold. They had reached the foot of
00:51:36Rogan Mountain. As they paused to catch their breath, Jack finally spoke. "So,
00:51:43"You've already made your decision," he said quietly. "Rogan has to die."
00:51:48Steve looked up at the towering cliffs. "There's no other choice," he replied. Jack's tone became
00:51:57He hardened his resolve. "I just needed to be sure. When the fight starts, there can be no hesitation."
00:52:04Rogan seems like the type of opponent who doesn't give you a second chance. If you're hoping to get him into it...
00:52:11"Reason?" "That's impossible," Steve interrupted. He narrowed his eyes and his voice betrayed a fury.
00:52:18Silent. "He's gone too far. He killed members of his own pack. My friends.
00:52:27Those who trusted him. Even if I could forgive him, the others never will. The only way this
00:52:35"To stop it is to stop it for good." Jack nodded slowly. "Then that's what we'll do."
00:52:42Esteve exhaled sharply. "But when he's gone, the pack will be lost."
00:52:49"Rogan kept them together. Without an alpha, they'll scatter, or worse." Jack's response was
00:52:56Without hesitation, "Then I'll take them." Esteve turned to him, surprised. "You'd do that?"
00:53:05After what happened. "They'll hate me for it," Jack said simply. "But the hate fades."
00:53:12Survival, no. They'll need a home, and I'll give them one. We'll keep them out of the kingdom.
00:53:20of the red wing for a while, in a neutral location. Too many changes too quickly only make
00:53:26"That people cling even more to the past." For the first time that night, Steve smiled slightly.
00:53:32"You've learned a lot since the old days, haven't you?" Jack chuckled. "Perhaps the
00:53:40"Age does bring wisdom." By the time they reached the upper cliffs, the sun was just beginning to rise.
00:53:46to leave. An orange light filtered over the edges of the mountain, tinting the stone with hues
00:53:53Fire and gold. They climbed swiftly, digging their claws into the rock, and propelled themselves up to the wide
00:54:00and a flat plateau that served as the outer ground of the camp. The scent of werewolves filled
00:54:05The air was instantly familiar, powerful, and unmistakable. "They've noticed us," Jack said.
00:54:13"Good," Steve replied in a low voice. "That's better." The two began walking forward.
00:54:21Each footstep echoed on the rocky surface. Below, voices could be heard coming from the camp.
00:54:28"What's that smell?" "It's irritating. It's coming from the entrance. It sounds familiar, but it makes my nose itch."
00:54:37Go see it. I swear it's another beast." When the first guards turned their heads
00:54:44As they approached the entrance, their conversation broke down. Their expressions shifted from confusion to...
00:54:50disbelief. "Wait, that's not it, Steve," one of them stammered. "No way," another replied.
00:55:00He escaped. "Rogan's been searching everywhere for him. But look, he's not alone. There's another man."
00:55:08"Wolf with him. Who is it?" The whispers spread quickly, attracting more attention.
00:55:15until almost the entire camp was watching. Steve and Jack kept walking. Their transformations
00:55:23Partial, with arms and legs covered in hair and claws shining in the light, were deliberate.
00:55:28A silent declaration, "We too are werewolves." Not enemies. Not human.
00:55:38The other werewolves froze, uncertain. Although they had heard of another
00:55:43The pack there, none of them had seen it with their own eyes. To them, the two figures that
00:55:50What they saw entering their camp could very well have been myths come true. By the time Steve and Jack
00:55:56They reached the heart of the camp, where a large crowd had gathered around them.
00:56:02The murmurs had grown louder, anxious, confused, and fearful. What's happening? Why
00:56:09What's here? Is Rogan coming? The two were in the center of the clearing, the place where the members of
00:56:16The pack gathered to eat, socialize, and fight. Esteve felt the gazes of dozens of men.
00:56:23Wolves were circling him, all expectant, all wary. He could see familiar faces,
00:56:29wolves he had rescued, trained, and laughed with. And yet, now,
00:56:36His eyes conveyed the same question: Why did you come back? Jack was standing beside him,
00:56:42With his arms crossed over his chest, the faint glow of his golden armor reflected the light.
00:56:48from the sun, giving him an almost ethereal appearance, more legendary than human. Steve clenched his fists
00:56:55her sides. Her heart was beating strongly, but she raised her voice, making it heard throughout the
00:57:01camp. I have something to tell you, she shouted. Her voice resonated with conviction, driven by everything
00:57:09What I had endured. The truth about Rogan and this pack. The murmuring stopped. All the
00:57:17Ears turned toward him. The wind blew softly across the plateau, carrying the scent of the
00:57:23mountain and distant forest. Steve took a step forward. He could feel Jack's firm presence
00:57:30Behind him, silent, attentive, ready. For a brief moment, he saw the faces of the
00:57:38killed by Rogan. He clenched his jaw. This ends today, he said quietly.
00:57:45Chapter 1568. The Truth of the Pack. The moment Steve entered the heart of the
00:57:52camp, their presence spread like wildfire. Whispers rose through the
00:57:58stone slopes, through the winding paths that connected the multiple levels of the mountain.
00:58:03The settlement was vast, carved into layers of stone and caves, and news of Steve's return
00:58:10It reached every corner before he could even open his mouth. By the time he arrived at the
00:58:16In the clearing, the werewolves had gathered en masse. Old, young, scarred veterans
00:58:23Battle-scarred, and even children clinging to their parents' legs, they were all there. Among
00:58:30They were the guard who had freed him and the young wolves who had risked everything
00:58:34to free him. Seeing their faces alive and unharmed filled Steve with profound relief. He had returned to
00:58:42Time. Only one person was missing, Rogan. But that didn't matter. Esteve wasn't there to whisper to him.
00:58:50Alpha. He was there to tell every member of the pack the truth. He climbed onto a high platform of
00:58:57stone, his armor gleamed in the gloom, and his shield rested beside him. The crowd guarded
00:59:03Silence as his voice rose through the clearing. A few days ago, Steve began, everyone knows that
00:59:10Rogan and I fought. The words carried far, echoing between the stone walls. I have always
00:59:17I wanted something different for us, not to destroy what we have, but to improve it. For years, I've dreamed
00:59:24so that our pack could live beyond these mountains. So that we wouldn't have to hide.
00:59:31of humans. That we could build our own homes, walk freely through the forests,
00:59:37Visit the cities, see the world as equals instead of as monsters hiding in caves.
00:59:43He paused, observing the crowd. He saw heads nodding weakly, hesitantly.
00:59:50"I know many of you cannot trust humans," he said, in a softer voice,
00:59:56And I never wanted to force them. I only wanted to give us the option, the freedom to live without fear.
01:00:03And some of you wanted that too. You came to me and told me you wanted to join.
01:00:08to the kingdom of the red wing, a place where werewolves live among humans, safe and open.
01:00:14A wave of recognition swept through the crowd. Several wolves lowered their gaze,
01:00:21Remembering the friends who had left. She believed Rogan cared about them.
01:00:26Steve continued. He thought he had let them go in peace, that he understood their decision. He swallowed,
01:00:34Her voice was tense. But when I traveled to the kingdom of the red wing, I learned the truth. Not a single one arrived.
01:00:41A murmur of confusion arose from the crowd. Esteve clenched his fists. When I returned,
01:00:49I demanded an answer from Rogan himself. And he said, Steve's voice breaking,
01:00:55But then he calmed down and told me he had killed them. The silence that followed was deafening.
01:01:02For a moment, no one moved. Then the sounds were heard, gasps,
01:01:08Growls, cries of disbelief. Some wolves even began to partially transform.
01:01:15digging their claws into the ground as anger and confusion overwhelmed them. If anyone else...
01:01:20Had they said it, the crowd would have torn them apart for blasphemy. But this was Steve, who saved them.
01:01:27He fought alongside them, he bled for them. He listened when no one else did. They believed him.
01:01:34Even so, they didn't know what to do. What could they do when the monster he was talking about was their alpha?
01:01:42"The one who had sworn to protect them? That's why we fight," Steve said, his voice rising with emotion.
01:01:49I didn't want to believe it either. But when I looked into his eyes, I saw no remorse.
01:01:55I couldn't stand idly by and watch him kill more of our people. So I fought him.
01:02:01And when I lost, they imprisoned me. Locked up for trying to protect us. He beat his chest with the
01:02:09fist and his voice resounded like thunder. I went to the kingdom of the red wing and returned, not to destroy this
01:02:16not to save the pack, but to save it. Rogan's reign ends today. We cannot live under someone's yoke.
01:02:23who kills his own people. The crowd trembled, torn between fury and fear. And then.
01:02:32A loud crash shook the clearing as something hit the ground behind Steve. It kicked up a cloud of dust.
01:02:39The air shifted. Esteve turned slowly, now knowing who it was. Rogan was standing there,
01:02:47with his torso bare, the upper part of his body glistening with sweat as if he were coming
01:02:52straight from training. Black fur extended in patches across his arms and chest.
01:02:58His breathing was heavy, his eyes burned a fierce red. His teeth had already begun to grind.
01:03:05As it lengthened, the shape of her mouth twisted as if her instincts had taken over.
01:03:10that his mind. Steve, Rogan growled, his voice echoing in the mountain air. You brought him here. His gaze
01:03:19He turned to Jack. Another alpha. The enemy. The one who wants us dead. Jack said nothing. He didn't.
01:03:29He was missing. His mere presence, tall, armored, and calm, was a declaration of power. You brought the
01:03:37"An enemy to our house!" Rogan roared. "And I can smell it on you. You've joined him. You've betrayed the..."
01:03:45yours. His voice shook the walls, echoing with fury. Esteve realized that Rogan must
01:03:53He had heard fragments of what was said before his arrival, but he didn't care. He didn't want the truth.
01:03:59I wanted control. Rogan, you said firmly, you left me no choice. You chained me. You
01:04:09You kept quiet because you knew she would speak against you. She took a step forward, her gaze unwavering.
01:04:16The red werewolves are not our enemies. They are like us, they have simply chosen another form
01:04:23of life. We can coexist. But you, Rogan, can't stand anything that isn't under your control. If not
01:04:32It's your way, it doesn't deserve to exist. A deep growl came from Rogan's throat. Then
01:04:39A voice called out from the crowd, "Rogan, is it true?" Another followed, "Tell us. Is what he said true?"
01:04:47Stid? What happened to them, to those who left? Chapter 1569, Clash of Alphas.
01:04:55The mountain plateau trembled with tension. Dozens of werewolves had gathered around the
01:05:02Sure, forming a wide circle of fur, muscle, and uncertain loyalty. The smell of sweat and
01:05:08Fear hung in the air. No one dared to move, not yet. The whispers spread.
01:05:15like sparks. Some wolves growled softly, digging their claws into the ground. Others
01:05:22They seemed torn apart, moving restlessly between the two figures that were in the center.
01:05:28Rogan. The alpha who had given them order, security, and structure.
01:05:34And Stid. The wolf who had saved many of them, the one who had risked everything for his
01:05:40Freedom. Both were legends in this camp, but legends couldn't coexist for long.
01:05:46time. The crowd split and the silence began to fracture as the deep voice and
01:05:52Rogan's thunderous roar echoed through the clearing. "Are you all fools?" he roared. His crimson eyes blazed.
01:06:01while his voice echoed off the mountain walls. From the beginning of time,
01:06:06The alphas have fought each other. The packs have clashed, blood has been spilled.
01:06:12That is our nature. It is the law of our species. The older wolves stood tall upon hearing their
01:06:19In words, his instincts responded to the call of domination and order. Rogan's power still
01:06:25It ran through their veins, dominating them even when doubt stirred in their hearts.
01:06:30The red-wing pack knows it too, Rogan continued, raising his voice. What you see here is a trick.
01:06:39He pointed a clawed finger at Steed and Jack. Steed has been deceived. The red-winged alpha whispered to him
01:06:46He whispered lies in our ears and now he's brought it here, to our home, to divide us. He started walking
01:06:53from side to side, and his voice turned into a growl. If the red-winged wolves had really
01:06:59Having come this far, do you think they'd still be alive? That alpha, Rogan extended his arm toward Jack,
01:07:06He would have massacred them himself. And now he's brought his poison to finish the job. Gasps were heard
01:07:13and murmurs from the crowd. Steed clenched his fists. Rage burned inside him, but underneath
01:07:21There was a deeper pain, disbelief. "You disgust me, Rogan," Steed said, his voice trembling, but
01:07:28Firm. I used to think that, at the very least, you believed in what you stood for. That, even if we weren't together
01:07:35Okay, your decisions stemmed from conviction, not fear. The red eyes of
01:07:41Rogan turned to him, but Steed did not hesitate. "You yourself told me that you killed them," Steed said.
01:07:48And his voice echoed through the clearing. "You looked me in the eye and said it. I came back alone, and everyone here knows it."
01:07:55They saw. I only came back to stop you, to stop this madness. But now you're lying to their faces.
01:08:03pretending you didn't do it. Even though you know what you've done is unforgivable. The nostrils of
01:08:09Rogan's lungs dilated, and the air trembled with his low, guttural growl. "Rogan," Steed continued, his voice more
01:08:16Gently, you've gone astray. You don't even realize it, but now you're guided by fear, not strength. For a
01:08:24For a moment, silence filled the air. Then, like a storm breaking, Steed's body began to
01:08:32change. The fur on his arms bristled, trailing down his neck and chest. His muscles
01:08:39They swelled, and their eyes shone gold as their bones creaked and rebuilt themselves. With a
01:08:45He spun around, reached back, grabbed his shield, and thrust it forward in one swift motion. When
01:08:52His transformation was complete; his body was covered in dark fur and molded armor.
01:08:58perfectly suited to her figure. In a swift movement, she launched herself forward. The ground beneath her feet
01:09:05It broke as it crossed the clearing, and a burst of dust and stone exploded outwards. Its speed was
01:09:12Incredible, much bigger than before. The armor and weapon Jack had given him increased every
01:09:18an ounce of his strength. At that moment, Rogan also transformed. His growl became a roar,
01:09:26and his whole body burst forth with black fur and muscle. White bone sprouted from his forearms like
01:09:32Ivory blades, serrated and sharp. He clasped both hands together and brandished them to intercept the
01:09:39Steve's charge. The shield collided with Rogan's bone-covered fists. The impact
01:09:45It shattered the air with a deafening roar. A cloud of dust rose, and several wolves...
01:09:52They shielded their faces as the ground splintered beneath their feet. Steve advanced, plunging his shield into the air.
01:09:58He pressed harder until the sharp point was deep in Rogan's arm. The growl
01:10:04The alpha's expression twisted into a grimace of pain. "You've fallen very low," Rogan spat with a growl.
01:10:10Poisonous. Using human tools, their filth, just to keep up with me. Do you
01:10:17Do you consider me a werewolf? You dishonor what we are. Steve ripped the shield off in one swift motion.
01:10:24"You talk like we're nothing but beasts," he shouted. "But we're more than that, Rogan. You want
01:10:32Clinging to instincts that only lead to bloodshed and hatred, but not me. If really
01:10:37We want a future, we have to evolve. We have to choose something better. The growl
01:10:44De Rogan went wild. The bone in his arm began to move and grow again.
01:10:50cracking and mending itself until it covered his entire right arm, forming a huge
01:10:55a bony gauntlet twice his size. The ground trembled beneath his feet as he leaped
01:11:01In the air, its silhouette obscuring the sun. Then it emerged, swinging the monstrous
01:11:07Arm down with all his might. The impact never occurred. A flash of gold
01:11:13It sliced through the air, swift, clean, and heavy. A greatsword collided with the bone fist mid-air.
01:11:20His attack. The sound that followed was like thunder shattering glass. Bone fragments
01:11:27They exploded, scattering across the field. Rogan was thrown backward, crashing into
01:11:33The ground was struck with such force that the floor cracked. Steve turned his head. Jack was standing behind him.
01:11:40He gripped the enormous sword stuck in the ground with one hand. His golden armor gleamed, and a faint
01:11:47Steam rose from its surface. He gave a slight smile. "You're right," Jack said calmly.
01:11:55But with a touch of fun. He's the strangest and ugliest werewolf I've ever seen.
01:12:02Chapter 1570 The Cursed Alpha
01:12:05Jack had faced countless enemies on his path to becoming the alpha of the
01:12:11Red-wing pack. Beasts born of nightmares, monsters so strange that even if I tried
01:12:18Describing them, few would believe him. He had seen creatures twisted by magic, possessed men
01:12:25because of madness and ancient beings buried beneath the world. But this, this was something new. There was
01:12:32He had fought werewolves before, trained and led many, and had seen the different
01:12:38evolutions of each one. Some became enormous, others swift, some learned to
01:12:44harden his skin or manipulate his body to use certain abilities. But Rogan's body,
01:12:50The way the bones sprouted from his flesh and grew like weapons was unlike anything he had ever seen.
01:12:56Jack had witnessed it. He narrowed his eyes. "What are you supposed to be?" he asked. "Some kind of..."
01:13:04Hybrid? Rogan's lips curled into a sneer. Damned alpha, he roared, his voice echoing through
01:13:12The whole mountain. I knew this day would come. I knew another one of you would show up to ruin it.
01:13:19Everything. With a roar, Rogan extended his hand. A sharp crack cut through the air as a spike
01:13:26White bone sprang from her palm. She grasped it with her bare hand, holding it like a spear,
01:13:33and hurled it forward with terrifying force. The spear broke in mid-air,
01:13:38fracturing into several irregular fragments that hissed toward Jack. Before they could
01:13:44To reach him, Steed leaped forward, shield raised. Fragments struck him.
01:13:50in a shower of sparks and bone dust, bouncing off without causing harm. The shield barely trembled.
01:13:58Rogan froze, squinting. His attacks usually pierced metal.
01:14:04armor and shatter stone, but this shield wasn't even dented.
01:14:09"What kind of weapon is that?" he thought, but his question was interrupted.
01:14:14A shadow passed overhead. Jack had already leaped into the air, clutching his enormous sword.
01:14:20with both hands. The sunlight reflected off the leaf as it fell with the full force of its weight.
01:14:27Rogan barely had time to react; he raised his arm and a bone sprouted from his forearm.
01:14:33covering it with a white, jagged armor like a giant claw.
01:14:37The two forces collided. Crack. The sound echoed through the mountain.
01:14:44Jack's sword pierced the bone with a thunderous blow, shattering it as if it were glass.
01:14:49brittle. The impact didn't stop there; energy exploded from the edge of the sword.
01:14:55sending a shockwave that crashed directly into Rogan's chest.
01:15:00He was thrown backwards, crashing against the stone floor, his heels landing
01:15:06leaving deep marks before crashing into the back wall. The floor cracked.
01:15:11from the impact, and an irregular crack spread between them. Jack landed softly,
01:15:18lowering the sword. His golden armor glowed faintly from the energy discharge, as if
01:15:24He reacted to the force of his blows. But when the dust settled, Rogan became
01:15:29He was on his feet again. Blood trickled from superficial cuts on his chest, but underneath there was nothing.
01:15:35meat, just plates of white bone. His ribs gleamed like armor. Jack arched his
01:15:43eyebrows with intrigue.
01:15:44"What an interesting body!" he murmured.
01:15:47Without hesitation, he lunged again. His sword sliced through the air in wide arcs, faster than ever.
01:15:54that's how a weapon of that size should move. Rogan counterattacked, firing a burst
01:16:00After another wave of bone fragments from his hands like bullets, Jack spun and deflected each one, with
01:16:06The blade vibrated with each impact. Its movements blurred, gold against white, flesh against
01:16:13bone. Sparks flashed with each blow. Jack closed the distance, slashing.
01:16:20Low. The blade struck Rogan's forearm. He felt the steel pierce the flesh,
01:16:27But it didn't go all the way in. The cut got stuck halfway, catching on something hard.
01:16:33-Bone!
01:16:34With a disgusting sound, more spikes sprouted from Rogan's arm, growing rapidly,
01:16:39forcing the sword back. Jack jumped just as the bone exploded where he had
01:16:45had been moments before. Even so, as Tid watched from the sidelines, his heart
01:16:51His heart throbbed with disbelief. The two alphas were fighting at a level he could barely comprehend.
01:16:58Speed, strength, precision, Jack overwhelmed Rogan, forcing him to retreat with every clash.
01:17:04"How, how is he so strong?" Tid murmured softly.
01:17:09"He's faster, stronger than the last time I saw him. There was a reason for that."
01:17:16Rogan had once been powerful, one of the strongest alphas to survive the ancients
01:17:21evidence. But that was years ago. Since then, he had settled in, hidden away in his sanctuary of the
01:17:29mountain, oblivious to the real dangers of the world. He hadn't fought for his life in years. Jack,
01:17:36On the other hand, he never stopped. Every day he fought for his pack, for the kingdom of the red wing, for the
01:17:43fragile peace they harbored. He had borne the weight of another man's legacy, the hero whose place
01:17:49He had sworn to occupy. His battles never ended, and his strength had only been sharpened by them.
01:17:56Esteve realized that if there was ever a chance to end Rogan's reign,
01:18:03This was it. —Jack, now. —he shouted.
01:18:08They moved together like hunters stalking their prey. Jack brandished the weapon from the right.
01:18:14with his sword gleaming with golden light, while Steve charged from the left,
01:18:19with his shield spinning through the air before impacting in place. The two blows landed
01:18:25Simultaneously, a sword and shield struck Rogan's arms. The impact
01:18:31It broke bones and flesh alike. Rogan's howl echoed throughout the mountain as his
01:18:37The body was thrown backward, crashing against the cliff face. The ground shook.
01:18:44Dust fell from above. Rogan staggered, blood running down both arms. The pack,
01:18:52who had been watching from the edge of the clearing, stumbled back, shocked.
01:18:58"Back off!" one of them shouted. "Move aside!" "Get out of the way!"
01:19:05But Rogan wasn't finished. His eyes shone even brighter,
01:19:10a deep red like molten lava. Her breathing became ragged,
01:19:15But his voice came out as a guttural roar. "Sile!" he shouted.
01:19:21From the other side of the clearing, a woman appeared, his moon. Her expression was distorted by the
01:19:28fear as she ran towards him, her bare feet slipping on the ground.
01:19:33Rogan grabbed her by the head and dug his claws into her face. Her blood dripped onto her
01:19:39hair as she drew her closer. The air shifted. Jack and Steve froze in place.
01:19:47They could feel it; his energy was changing, spiraling, darkening. He wasn't just asking
01:19:54Help. Something was waking up. Rogan looked at them with bloodshot, savage eyes.
01:20:01"If you wanted to see what a real alpha is like," he growled, his voice deep and distorted.
01:20:07—Then I'll show you.
