Chapter 4 Four

"Ares, if I can't bring out your power through Forma, then it's okay if you go to Aumen, right?" Noah asked while looking coldly at Ivar.

"Of course, Noah. That way our powers are easier to control," Ares answered.

"Uhh, cheating. Only Noah can use Aumen from two Wolf energies," teased Pandora.

Ares and Pandora's energy is combined in Aumen, Pandora's energy is used for healing while Ares' energy is used for increased attack power. This way Noah can keep up with Jorgen in his Forma phase.

Noah walked towards Ivar who was lying, with his hands clenched tightly, turning red like heated iron, the effect of Ares's concentration of energy in Noah's hands.

"Ba-bastard! I am the best Wolf general! How dare you humiliate me!" snapped Ivar who then lunged at Noah.

Ivar managed to stab Noah in the chest with both claws, but Noah didn't budge at all, he responded by hitting Ivar's knee, making him fall to his knees. It didn't stop there, after Ivar knelt down helplessly, Noah jumped high and then hit Ivar hard on the forehead with a red fist full of force, making Ivar's head slam and press against the ground.

Noah stood beside Ivar's large body, staring intently at his opponent who was lying limp. "The strong one isn't you, but your host! Don't boast just because you've never met an opponent who is comparable to Jorgen. If it's like this, what can you do? You Naughty Dog!" Noah cursed with a cold but angry gaze.

"I-I'm sorry, Young Master! Forgive me!" groaned Ivar, whose forehead showed the marks from Noah's punch.

"Bring back Jorgen, and don't come out until you learn something tonight!" Noah snapped again.

Without further ado Ivar faded his Forma form, returning control of the body to Jorgen. "He still can't be controlled, Young Master. Thank you for teaching him a lesson," said Jorgen after his wolf was frightened.

The crowd roared with loud cheers after watching the neat fight between Noah and Jorgen. The tension that previously circulated in the stands turned into happiness after Noah won the eligibility test. King Tobias stood up and gave a standing ovation, proud to know his son's suitability to inherit Alpha.

Noah reached out his hand to Jorgen, helping him get up from where he was lying. Both of them showed respect for each other's fight, they stood in the middle of the arena which was full of applause and cheers from the audience. Despite having fought fiercely, both of them smiled with respect for each other. Their battles are not only entertaining but also create an epic story of physical strength that goes beyond ordinary limits.

That night's battle changed the fate of the kingdom, and the Alpha heir's victory in the fitness test marked the beginning of a new chapter. With great pride, King Tobias felt that this moment deserved to be immortalized with a grand celebration. Therefore, he invited the entire public to celebrate this glory at a special banquet in a luxurious room in the Kruger Mansion.

The banquet hall of the mansion had been carefully prepared to welcome the invited guests. Sparkling lights and special decorations create a warm and luxurious atmosphere. The atmosphere of the room was filled with smiles of happiness and cheerfulness.

King Tobias, accompanied by his brave son, welcomed the guests sincerely and with warmth. At the banquet table, delicious dishes ranging from roast meat and grilled turkey were beautifully presented. The finest ale flows in wooden goblets. The guests, from the Gamma to Alpha Clans, sat together in a friendly atmosphere. Joyful conversation and hearty laughter were part of the party.

The evening was full of joy and warmth. In the banquet hall filled with sparkling lights, the sense of unity and happiness was intense. A new chapter had begun, and that night became the starting point of a golden era filled with hope and pride for the entire kingdom.

At the end of the banquet table, King Tobias stomped his wooden cup to get all the attention of the guests present. "My people! Werewolves from Clan Gamma to Alpha! Tonight, my son has shown his strength as the heir to my throne. I believe, in the midst of this Age of Alienation, Skoll and Hati are still willing to bless the survival of our Race! Noah is the embodiment of generosity and hope that was given by Skoll and Hati!" shouted King Tobias, who was warmly welcomed by the guests.

"However! Fighting alone is not enough to prove his worthiness! As we know, an Alpha leader needs a Luna who can accompany him. My heart can be relieved if Noah can find a woman, who is worthy of being his Luna, who can create offspring - outer descendants "Ordinary like my proud son. Increasing offspring is mandatory for us, Werewolves. Remembering that we must be charged together in the midst of this Age of Alienation," exclaimed the King again.

The guests who heard the King's speech were not as excited as before, considering that it would be very difficult to find a worthy partner for Noah, who only with Aumen could defeat Jorgen in his Forma form. This also occurred to Noah who was sitting next to King Tobias, carefully listening to his father's every speech.

"The Binding Ceremony will start in two weeks, but I am waiting for anyone of you, from the Gamma, Beta to Alpha Clans to come forward if they feel worthy to be with my son! But for now, LET'S FINISH THE ALE!" the King exclaimed excitedly, which was also followed by the guests' exclamations.

The camaraderie between the Werewolf Races was strong at this banquet, all the guests enjoyed every dish on the table. Ale became a drink to accompany the banter of the invited guests, and it was even seen that occasionally some guests staggered and were caused by drinking too much. However, this did not hinder the excitement of the banquet hall the guests who were drinking the Ale fell one by one and made it into a joke that aroused laughter.

"Come here, my lord. Follow my voice"

Noah's attention, who was casually eating his meal while occasionally chatting with the guests, was distracted by a soft voice that came from somewhere. Noah looked around in all directions looking for the source of the sound.

"This is a wangsit! Is there a witch infiltrating it?" Ares guessed

Noah got up from the dining table to check where the soft voice came from. "Noah? Where are you going?" asked King Tobias.

"Go to the restroom, just for a moment, Dad," said Noah.

"Whatever happens, control yourself as much as possible. The people don't think they are ready to see your form," said the King, who replied with a polite nod.

Noah left the banquet hall and started looking for the source of the sound through his two Wolves who could feel magic. "The sound came from outside the mansion! Be careful, this might be an Alpha Rogue trap" Ares warned alertly.

"So what if this is Rogue's doing? You know how strong Noah is, right? Oh, we mean, hahaha" said Pandora.

"Why can I be in the same body as a wolf-like you!" Ares cursed, annoyed to hear that Pandora couldn't be taken seriously.

"You're the only one who is too stiff! Try relaxing a little once in a while! Do you want Noah's head to be square during Forma?" said Pandora again.
