Chapter 83: Betrayal 1!

It's been three days since the arrival of Alpha Azrael. It hasn't been easy for the humans who were constantly attacked.

If not for the prompt appearance of Alpha Azrael from time to time, they would have been dead by now.

Alpha Azrael was constantly hovering around them in secret for he feared the werewolves here could easily want to hurt or worse kill the humans that came with him.

Humans were really hated in Wolfsden, and it's no surprise why.

In the entire country of Zurich, it was like a country for werewolves of which Ozra was like the capital.

The humans could barely go anywhere without coming in contact with a werewolf and 9 out of 10 of the werewolves they meet wanted them dead, so Alpha Azrael has to always stick around, or else, he would have to watch them all killed.

The werewolf named Crow also tried to attack the humans but was stopped every time by the arrival of Alpha Azrael, who always showed up just in time with a growl, a belligerent look, and non-verbal gestures.

On this particular day, a meeting was called to introduce the Alpha werewolves since their competition was the one everyone looked forward to.

The first to compete would be the Omega werewolves and other lone wolves, followed by the beta werewolves, and finally the Alpha werewolves.

The council decided to do an introduction, to make others familiar with changes in the werewolf community and new uprisings such as that of Alpha Azrael.

It was an open-air event with only a canopy to cover with seats arranged meticulously for every Alpha or Luna and his or her entourage.

There was a stage in front where the Elders sat in the background while an MC of events which was a woman named Naomi, the secretary, was tasked with manning the microphone.

The Afternoon sun dazzled on the tent but the tent was thick enough to serve as a shield. Alpha Azrael was so eye-catching because of his humans and people would occasionally stare in his general direction.

His soldiers surrounded his humans to shield them from any external threat.

The human could now understand why he didn't want them to come.

They were more like chicks at the mercy of a large collection (convocation) of eagles, and without protection, could be picked up at any time and used for lunch.

The MC, Naomi Banks gripped the microphone and smiled. A lot of shouts and giggles followed. The crowd was captivated by Naomi Bank's beauty.

The crowd was going wild, screaming and shouting as if it was a competition to see whose shout would be first heard by the majestic Naomi Banks.

"I Welcome everyone to the 2000th Edition of the werewolf ranking match. Today is basically for introducing our guests and our competitors. We will first introduce the sponsors of this program, but before we do any of that, I want to introduce someone special, drum roll please..."

A keyboard keynote was played and the sound of drums rang out.

"We welcome Our grand Elder, the leading force and spearhead of this program, Grand Elder Tozic Cain..." Naomi Banks welcomed the Grand Elder.

She needed to suck up to him to keep him on her side.

A lot of eyes has been on her and she needed to keep herself out of trouble and protected, and one way to do that is to stick with the biggest baddest and strongest Alpha werewolves around, who better to suck up to than the grand Elder?

This ranking match this year would be different because the Elder werewolves are also going to participate in the ranking matches. It would choose those who would take over or usurp the Elder positions and also reinstate power which is the fundamental rule on which the werewolf community was built.

Elder Tozic also chose to join the ranking match, to him, no one could challenge his authority or even come close to him, he also did it to trump the fame of Alpha Azrael and show him who is boss.

...back on the stage...

After being introduced, Grand Elder Tozic got up and waved before sitting back down in a confident and relaxed manner, giving nothing away but a smile.

Naomi Banks gave a fake smile and continued with her control of the proceedings. "Ok everyone, who is excited...?"

There was an immediate uproar of screaming and shouting. From left, right, and center, noises filled the air.

No one could hear themselves as the screaming overshadowed everything.

"Alright... that's a lot of excitement..." Naomi joked. "For the first time, the Elder werewolves would be participating in the Alpha ranking competition..." Naomi Banks continued and the crowd went wild.

There was a general belief that with the absence of the werewolf King, no one could challenge the grand Elder, Tozic Cain for the throne. The strength of the other Elders was not to be underestimated, however, the presence of Alpha Azrael brings a lot of questions that the people were eager to find answers to on the battleground.

Naomi Banks then continued to call Guests and other werewolves around, including new Alphas who had recently emerged.

"The next Alpha needs no introduction. He is one of the biggest and baddest werewolves around...." There was a sudden dramatic pause and her voice went low. "It was rumored that he recently killed an immortal cursed werewolf with his bare hand..." The crowd gasped.

immediately murmurs broke out.

"So it's true...?"

"There is such an Alpha?"

"I told you, Liam, Alpha Azrael killed an immortal werewolf, you thought I was pulling your legs..."

'hmmmmmmm' Naomi Banks cleared her throat in her bid to silence the crowd and it worked perfectly as everyone became quiet.

"Join me as I invite to the stage, Alpha Azrael Herrington!!!" She screamed into the microphone and some started looking around to see whoever stands up to that name.

Some others were already aware of his identity and were composed.

Alpha Azrael frowned at the warm reception he was getting but gradually stood up to it.

He didn't wave or do anything else, he simply walked up to the stage.

As he was walking, Beta Londan also got up to follow him.

At this moment, Alpha Azrael sensed a threat, but he looked back, it was only Beta Londan so he ignored the warning his body was giving him.

Before he could register what was going on, a syringe had been sunk into his body and pressed to his upper back.

He looked back to see who was doing it, it was no other person but Beta Londan.

At this point, Alpha Azrael could only let out one word before his voice ceased completely, "Why...?"

Everyone around gasped in shock at what Beta Londan had done, however, the Elders smiled in happiness including Crow.

Naomi Banks was as shocked by this act just as the rest of the crowd. Alpha Azrael stood motionless, he couldn't talk, he couldn't move, and he was more or less a statue.
