Chapter 2 ELIZA

It was a beautiful day.

The sky was bright and clear. In the open fields, lush greeneries were scattered, providing clean and healthy air. Posh infrastructures and well-made roads creating a well-balanced, modern environment. The inhabitants, who were seemingly free, were disciplined and consciously maintaining order.

This peaceful and beautiful place was the territory of the most powerful pack in the world.

The Pack of Karalius.

Everyone in the werewolf world knew about the Pack of Karalius. Although they were known to be reclusive compared to the others, there were several achievements that only this pack has attained.

For one, they possessed an army of warriors comparatively powerful as that of the royal family. Each and every warrior of the Karalius was more powerful and talented compared to normal warriors. They were all fiercely loyal towards their alpha, making it possible for them to organize an army so powerful that not even the royal family could ignore.

Moreover, because of the unlimited and terrifying potential he displayed, the only son of the Alpha and relative of the Alpha King, Neo Karalius, was chosen to be one of the potential successors to the throne.

The young alpha brought prestige to the pack from the moment he was born.

He was exceptionally smart and powerful. He was a talent that could only be seen once in a hundred years.

Inevitably, when he turned four, he was taken to the imperial castle to receive education as the heir to the throne.

Thus, his future is set. Either he would be crowned the Alpha king, or he would succeed as Alpha Karalius, the Alpha of the most powerful pack in the world.

And like him, each and every werewolf in this pack was strong and proud.

Well, except for me.

To be exact, I could not even say that I was a member of this pack.

Among all the pure blooded members of the Karalius Pack, I was the only hybrid.

My father was a werewolf... while my mother... was a human.

Hybrids are generally looked down upon by the werewolf society so it was already my destiny to be looked down and disdained upon by the pack.

But to make my matter worse, I took after my human mother and had all the characteristics of a human.

In my veins, the werewolf blood of my late father, the Beta of the pack, supposedly flowed.

But my body was that of a human. I was not given any power, talent or strength of a werewolf.

To top it all, I was not blessed with a wolf.

However, my parents loved and accepted me.

Though I was despised by everyone in this powerful pack, in order to protect me and my mother, my powerful father used his authority as the Beta to make a deal with the Alpha.

He created a safe and happy home for the two of us.

Unfortunately, when I was ten years old, my mother fell sick with a strange disease. Desperately, my father went outside to search for a cure.

However, he did not return.

Through the years, my mother and I awaited his return.

However, he never came back.

Slowly, the hidden contempt in the eyes of the pack turned into open aggressions. The werewolves who respected and relied on my father started blaming us for his disappearance.

It was then when the bullying started.

We were kicked out of the house provided for the Beta's family.

They limited our food and other essential supplies, and it was a miracle that they allowed me to attend school.

My sick human mother and I were seen as the disgrace of the pack and were treated like trash.

Alpha Radin, the honorable alpha of the pack, did not follow through with the deal between my father and him, and turned blind eyes towards the maltreatment we suffered in the pack.

I grew up in a harsh environment where... I had to struggle daily... in order to live and to protect my sick mother.

'That's why... I don't even know why I'm here,' I thought as I looked at the huge Victorian building in front of me.

'If mom didn't get so angry, I would prefer working full time than attending university,' I sighed.

The Pack of Karalius was not only the most powerful pack in the world, it was also the most populous, and the most wealthy.

The whole territory was akin to a major city, with everything available inside. And at the moment, I was standing in front of the prestigious university that was exclusive for werewolf students.

'I'm not even... really allowed here,' I sighed, slightly clenching my fist.

"What! Can't believe you really came here?"

"No way, are you even allowed to attend the university? Isn't this place exclusive for us, werewolves?" Someone loudly sneered and I flinched.
