The Taste of Seduction

Chapter 145: Pack hierarchy (2)



Other than that the title is passed down to the eldest child of the Alpha. If the child isn\'t capable of fulfills their duties when the title is meant to be passed still too young or hasn\'t shifted yet, then the next in line of leadership would be the Beta.

Alphas are all highly respected and are to protect their pack at all costs. Alphas are naturally born with stronger and powerful genes, thus they are the superior wolves and natural leaders."

Elvin explained.

A glint passed through Atlas\'s eyes as a plan began to form in his head.

"So I can be the Alpha if I challenge the leader of the pack and win?"

Elvin scoffed, "Yeah but the Alpha isn\'t a weak man and beating him wouldn\'t be easy. Even though I don\'t like the scumbag I have to admit he is extremely powerful now that he has a witch beside him."

Even though his uncle was telling him how powerful the Alpha was, Atlas didn\'t care.

Now that he knows there is a chance for him to gain status in this foreign city he would do anything to grab that opportunity even if it\'s a suicide mission.

"Oh…so is the Alpha on the same level as the vampire prince?"

"Who?Marcus?"

Atlas gave a curt nod.

"Technically yes. They\'re both leaders of their kind. The vampires deal with royalties while the werewolves deal with pack hierarchy except the princess family who are royals and bear the Alpha\'s mark."

"The Alpha\'s mark?"

Elvin let out a sigh and nodded, "Yes is a mark given by the moon goddess herself to select a family line of Alphas.

The late King had one so he wasn\'t just a king, he was also the Alpha of the pack. Now the princess possess the mark making her the rightful Alpha but that scumbag wouldn\'t go without a fight."

Atlas stiffened when he heard his uncle, "Huh?The princess? So she is supposed to be the one to lead the pack?"

Elvin nodded, "Yeah but she is a tribrid, I don\'t think being the Alpha would be good for her. She has to focus on lots of things right now and handling a group of beasts isn\'t easy.

I just have to find a competent Alpha who could challenge the current Alpha. I\'m a royal knight and can\'t participate in pack business. This is the law. "

Atlas cocked his head a little and took a deep breath

"I know you wanted me to replace you in protecting the princess as a royal knight but what if I want something else?"

Even though Atlas didn\'t know much about the laws and rules of this land he knew there was no way the royal knight could marry the Queen.

If he wanted a chance to win his Angel he had to have power and status.

Elvin gave Atlas a questioning look and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Don\'t tell me you want to be the Alpha?" Elvin let out a humorless chuckle as he stared at his nephew.

Seeing the serious look on Atlas\'s face Elvin\'s eyes widened in shock

"You\'re serious?!"

"Yes."

Elvin shook his head frantically, "No no, I don\'t think you understand. Challenging an Alpha is suicidal.

Unless you can beat him, he would kill you out of spit for challenging him. I promised your mom to protect and I\'m not planning on losing you."

"I know." Atlas grunted.

"Will you help me? Please? I really have to be the Alpha."

Atlas sucked in a nervous breath as his eyes snapped to uncle.

Silence enveloped them for a minute until his uncle finally spoke.

"Why?" His uncle asked, holding Atlas\'s gaze.

Atlas shifted uncomfortably as he contemplated his answer. He knew whatever he says right now would determine if his uncle would help him or not and he couldn\'t mess up.

"I like power. The thrill it gives. Sorry uncle but I don\'t see myself serving anyone here even if it\'s the queen.

Also I\'m your best chance of getting rid of the current Alpha. I\'m fairly new and he knows nothing about me. He would underestimate me and that would be his weakness."

Elvin\'s brows arched in thought while his mouth thinned with displeasure.

He watched Atlas\'s expression intently, trying to read his thoughts behind it. Atlas kept his eye contact and remained silent. After another long moment, he simply said, "Okay.

Atlas raised an eyebrow, surprised that he seemed to accept his answer.

Elvin voice rang with authority as he explained, "You have much to learn. Pay very close attention to all that I will teach you. I know you\'re already a good fighter so I will train you for 3 months.

After the three months if you pass the test I will let you challenge the Alpha for the title. Until that 3 months occur don\'t tell anyone about your plan.

The Alpha would be traveling tomorrow so once he comes back I will take you to him for him to initiate you into the pack. It\'s the basic requirement if you want to challenge the Alpha."

Atlas nodded, "Thank you."

Elvin patted Atlas\' shoulder, "Come, let\'s eat breakfast after that we would start your training."

"Is there a way I can communicate with Ace? He is managing everything and I have to make sure everything is okay."

Atlas asked while he followed his uncle inside the house.

"Yeah, here is just like earth. We have mobile phones which can communicate with anyone anywhere. I will get you one."

"Alright."

Atlas couldn\'t wait to call his brother to catch up with him. In a span of a year their lives had completely turned around.
