Ullric's golden eyes stared coldly at the skyscraper in front of him. Ignoring the strange stares from the people around him, Ullric stepped forward confidently toward his destination. The man only stopped walking when the attention of the people inside the large building turned to him as he entered. His gaze was as dark as the night sky, and he was blocked before he could ascend to a higher level.
“Who are you? What business do you have with this place?”
Ullric looked at the well-dressed man who came forward to confront him. Judging from the reactions of the other werewolves when the man arrived, Ullric could tell that the man was someone with a high position in the group. Ullric stared at him for a long time, before he revealed the reason for his arrival in a low voice.
“I came for your Alpha.”
Esben, Beta of the Silver Pack couldn't control his fear when he heard the low voice of the Alpha in front of him. His Alpha is the strongest Alpha Esben has ever met. But in terms of strength, this mysterious Alpha who just came to his pack turned out to be able to match the extraordinary strength of his alpha, who is famous as one of the strongest werewolves in their country.
“I can't let you in if you can't prove that you're not a threat to this pack.”
Esben and the rest of the pack immediately took their battle stances when Ullric couldn't convince them either. The atmosphere in the place tensed up for an instant until a sudden pressure of force made them lower their heads forcefully.
Apart from their Alpha, there was no other Alpha that could force them to lower their heads. The people's faces turned pale, as they watched Ullric casually pass them to go upstairs.
But Ullric's footsteps stopped again, as he stared at the elevator next to the stairs he was originally about to climb. The man was silent without doing anything until the person he was looking for finally got out of the elevator.
After Stefan saw Ullric, the man was pensive for a moment. When Stefan got a danger signal from his beta, the Alpha immediately went downstairs to check what kind of threat had just entered his pack. But unexpectedly, the one who had just arrived was an ancient Alpha that he had met at the hunters' headquarters a few days ago. Stefan did remember that Ullric said he would remember his name. However, Stefan never expected that the Alpha would visit his house alive after attacking the hunters alone.
The fact that Ullric was able to survive was enough to prove that he was a strong Alpha. Stefan stared at Ullric, as he silently acknowledged the ancient Alpha's power that lay before him.
His attention was diverted when he heard the growls of his pack members, who still couldn't get up due to the pressure Ullric gave off. His mind cleared again, as he looked back at Ullric who was also looking at him without saying anything.
“In the first place, can you restrain your strength? My pack members could misunderstand if you suddenly suppress them like this.”
The others almost thought they were delusional when they saw that Ullric was actually willing to grant Stefan's wish. When faced with Stefan, for some reason, Ullric looked much more docile. The man probably still doesn't say much. But his gaze wasn't as cold as when Ullric had looked at the others before.
“I've come with an offer to cooperate with you, Stefan Norah Silver. Please help me track down the witch who kept me in that place. And in exchange, I swear to protect this pack from any threat.”
This time, it wasn't just the Silver Pack members who were surprised to hear Ullric's words. Even Stefan, who was usually calm, couldn't control his surprise when he heard Ullric's wish. In terms of strength alone, Stefan could tell that Ullric was a strong Alpha. That man should be a respected pack leader, not an Alpha follower like him.
“Please don't worry I will usurp your position as an Alpha. I have failed to protect my pack once and was even caught by those hunters. I no longer have the qualifications to become an Alpha, nor have any desire to return to leading a pack. However, Stefan Norah Silva, the place you attacked back then was owned by a witch who hates werewolves so much. Your attack on her base will surely make her furious. And eventually, she will definitely try to track you down and destroy this pack. After she destroys my pack, I want nothing more than her death. You help me to kill her, and I will protect this pack forever.”
Before Stefan doubted Ullric even more, the Alpha without a pack immediately explained the reason for his choice. Stefan could see that Ullric was serious about what he said. The young Alpha fell silent, before turning to look at his pack members, who looked troubled after hearing Ullric's wish.
While having a subordinate as strong as Ullric might benefit them, having a subordinate nearly equal to their Alpha strength was still not a wise choice. No one knew when Ullric might turn against Stefan. Or in a worse case, Ullric might come to them because he was eyeing Stefan's position in the first place.
But if what Ullric said was true, their pack might have a hard time dealing with a witch they didn't know about. That witch could destroy an ancient pack that was notoriously powerful. Now, there is no guarantee that their pack members will be safe, even if the Silver Pack is the strongest in their area for now.
Stefan looked at Ullric who looked serious as he looked at him, before finally making a temporary decision for his pack.
“Let me discuss this matter with the rest of my pack first, Ullric. And Esben, tell the others that I'm having a pack meeting right now.”
“Understood, Alpha!”
Thereafter, Ullric was left alone while the Silver Pack members gathered to discuss his arrival. For safety's sake, Ullric was accompanied by several young werewolves who were tasked to monitor the movements of the ancient Alpha. Neither of them took the initiative to speak, so Ullric could only spend his time waiting for Stefan to return as he continued to stand like a statue.
That situation continued until Ullric suddenly turned his head towards the entrance. His golden pupils shrank, as he stared at the girl, who had just entered the tall building. "I'm home! Uh, where did everyone go?"While ignoring the young werewolves assigned to watch over him, Ullric quickly approached the girl in messy clothes. His hand quickly grasped the girl's hand, before he whispered in a low voice. "Mate ...."Lulla stared at the strange man, who had just taken her hand. On her beautiful face, a frown slowly formed indicating that she did not like Ullric's actions. The girl dropped the bag that was in her hand before she set up a stance to take down the big man. Before the others could give any warning, Lulla had managed to knock Ullric to the floor. Perhaps because Ullric had unknowingly let his guard down in front of his mate, the man did not resist at all as his body collapsed to the floor unceremoniously. The other werewolves could only open their mouths without saying
After riding the elevator, Stefan took Ullric to his office on the top floor of the building. Along the way, Ullric, who seemed clueless about many things, came into Stefan's view. Seeing the caution Ullric showed towards things that should be common in modern times made Stefan finally convinced that Ullric was indeed an ancient werewolf. The man was completely unfamiliar with technology, and was not accustomed to hiding his werewolf eyes from ordinary humans. "Sit where you're comfortable, Ullric," Stefan told him. Ullric finally chose to sit on one of the couches, while Stefan sat opposite him. The two were silent for a few moments, before Stefan finally relayed the results of their previous pack discussion. "First of all, can I ask you a few questions?"Ullric nodded confidently. If he wanted to be allowed to be in the same pack as his mate, of course he had to show his sincerity in front of Stefan. "You're an Alpha, aren't you? What happened to you, that you could be in that pl
After Ullric finished speaking with Stefan, the man quickly exited the alpha's room. Near the door, Ullric could see that someone was waiting for him outside the room. It was the same person who had stopped him at the front door. Esben, the Beta of the Silver Pack, had been waiting for Ullric since earlier to show him around. Seeing that the new pack member had finished talking to Stefan, the beta immediately approached Ullric. Esben smiled kindly, as he extended his hand to shake Ullric's. "Nice to meet you, Ullric. My name is Esben, a beta in this pack. If Alpha is busy, you can come to see me to discuss anything," Esben told him. "Alpha has explained the situation to us. Please forgive us for being wary of you before." Ullric was speechless because, in the past, no one had been brave enough to ask him to shake hands. But, in this new pack, Ullric's position was not part of the pack's core. Ullric slowly accepted the handshake, then introduced himself properly this time. "Ullric
"You must be a new werewolf entering this pack." Unlike Esben who was immediately friendly to Ullric, the werewolf who held the position of Gamma in the Silver Pack clearly showed his dislike for Ullric when he spoke to the man. The man with a large body looked at Ullric with a gaze full of hostility and consciously stood in front of Lulla to block Ullric's view of his mate. "Even though you're a new member of this pack, you seem to be bold enough to interrupt our training time. New man, do you have a problem with the training methods I teach the members of this pack?" If Ullric was willing to pay attention to the surrounding area, it was indeed not only Lulla who was injured in the martial arts training in that place. Some female werewolves had also been injured, but no one had protested like Ullric did at this point. Ullric's actions made Lulla feel ashamed for the second time. She was the most powerful pack warrior among children her age. Being treated like a fragile girl made h
"Alright. For the last one, this is your room from now on. This room has a closet, bed, and private bathroom. So, you are free to use it alone. As for clothes, you can wear the ones you have before someone takes you shopping later. We usually eat at 7 am, 1 pm, and 8 pm. Try to be on time, as our Alpha doesn't like people who aren't on time. Then ... Ah, yes. In addition to pack duties, Alpha usually assigns us other jobs as humans. You'll probably find out about his decision tomorrow. So for now, you can rest first." While listening to Esben's explanation, Ullric observed his new room with a curious look. In addition to the tall buildings that had never existed before, Ullric realized that the equipment used was also much different from his own time. Ullric had just learned how to use an elevator. But now, he also had to learn how to utilize his room. Everything felt so new to Ullric. But for the sake of being with his mate, Ullric did not mind learning these new things. From anoth
The sound of splashing water filled the silence in Ullric's room. When the sound of water and the door opened again, water vapor came out of the bathroom. From inside, Ullric came out with a towel covering his private parts. The man let out a long sigh as he realized that even bathing had become confusing in this new age. In his day, Ullric had never bathed from a strange device that dripped water like rain. Not only was it like rain, but the water also felt so warm that it made his body comfortable. In his entire life, Ullric had never felt that bathing was a very pleasant thing. After Ullric took off his old clothes that he had originally taken from the hunters, the man opened the new wardrobe given to him. His brows unconsciously furrowed slightly as he looked at the models of clothing that he was not used to wearing. In the end, Ullric chose a black shirt and pants that had the closest appearance to his old clothes. The man put on his clothes without much trouble. His eyes invo
Thanks to his excellent sense of smell, it didn't take Ullric long before he found his dead man's private room. With a first aid box in his hand, Ullric stood in front of Lulla's door. The man was trying to figure out how he could get Lulla to let him in after their encounters had always ended in failure before. Just as Ullric finally mustered the will to knock on the door of his mate, the door suddenly opened from the inside. The figure of Lulla, who had just finished bathing, came out from inside. Just like Ullric, her face looked surprised when the girl saw Ullric standing in front of her bedroom door. Lulla had just finished putting on her clothes when she suddenly felt the need to open the door to her room. It was an unfamiliar feeling that she had never felt before. But, in the end, Lulla opened the door anyway and faced Ullric directly. All forms of unrest and discomfort immediately disappeared when Lulla inhaled the strange scent emanating from Ullric's body. The girl's bro
Stefan stared deeply at the report Esben had made. In the report, his gamma pack could only report that the prison where Stefan had met Ullric had been burned to ashes by someone. But who burned it or whether the witch who owned the place knew the truth or not, they couldn't be sure to that extent. In accordance with their agreement, Stefan had begun searching for information about the wizard Ullric was referring to after he accepted Ullric as part of his pack. Although they hadn't gotten any valuable information, for now, Stefan was confident that it would only be a matter of time before they could track down the witch's whereabouts. Besides relying on his connections with other packs, Stefan was also quite well-known among the humans. He had enlisted the help of private detectives to track down the witch and spent a considerable amount of money just to find her faster. From now on, Stefan must always be prepared to go to war with the witch and her hunters. They obviously couldn't
