~~ INSIDE BEHEMOTH'S CAVE ~~
A lycanthrope with a perfectly endowed muscular body was chained to the wall of a very dark cave. His body was tainted with newly bashed batters and bruises. His eyes were bloodshot, tinted with tears and agony as he kept growling in excruciating pain.
It was Sebastian, Alexander's wolf.
With his hugeness and strength, one could tell his healing process was remarkable but inside that cave, it was slowed down.
In front of him stood a very huge beast with two golden horns, a long black claws and black veins were all over him. He was Behemoth, the beast of ego. He is the same beast Selene cursed Alexander with.
He also has newly bashed wounds, batters and bruises but his wasn't deep Sebastian's and from the look it was almost closed up.
At that same time...
A figure could be seen sitting beside them with an indifferent expression. It was none other than the Supreme Alpha, Alexander. But now the figure is a shell of the real him. He does not move nor talk, he only stare at the mid air without blinking. He is now just a soul..
At that time...
Behemoth growled as he stood waiting for Sebastian to stand up so they can start from where they stopped. Seems they were fighting...
But wasn't it obvious who'd have the upper hand?
Coupled with Sebastian being a little afraid of the beast, he was chained to the wall of the cave, making his movement limited. And moreover, the chain wasn't just any chain, it was made with Herculean bane and it has been burning on his for a long time.
However...
"Get up loser..!" Behemoth growled, taunting Sebastian to get up and slowly he did.
"You.., you are not strong enough to fight me.." Sebastian said, hissing in pain and instantly he earned a jaw breaking punch from Behemoth.
"Truth hurts, doesn't it..?" He said again and Behemoth hit him again.
"If you think you are strong enough to fight me, then let me out of this chain and let's fight one on one.." Sebastian challenged.
At that moment...
Behemoth felt his ego triggered and he frowned in displeasure. His eyes examined Sebastian's body and he smirked. From what he saw, there was no way in hell Sebastian can defeat him even if he freed him from the chains. Most of all, the cave was his territory and Sebastian can never out smart him in his home.
With that thought, Behemoth broke the chains in a swift motion and instantly freed Sebastian.
Immediately he was freed, a devilish smirk spread through Sebastian's face and his eyes met with Behemoth's.
Without wasting more time, Sebastian charged towards Behemoth. A kick from Behemoth sent Sebastian flying and he landed harshly on the wall of the cave, falling to the ground.
"Oh..!" Behemoth yelled, pretending to be hurt and earned a groan from Sebastian.
"Argh.."
Sebastian groaned again as he made to stand but he stumbled, falling to the ground again. It was as if his the world was placed on his body making it heavier than it should. The kick weakened him to the core and he couldn't help but growl weakly.
He shook his head as he it was beginning to spun in dizziness. Looks like challenging Behemoth to the fight was a bad, not in his condition. Sebastian thought as fear began to slowly spread through him.
"Get up, I have given in to your useless request and freed you but it seems like you are still a loser.." Behemoth ridiculed, rushing to where Sebastian was and slashed his long black claws on him.
Behemoth dragged him up, pinning him on the wall of the cave.
"Loser..." he muttered before slashing his claws deep inside Sebastian stomach and he let fall with a thud on the ground.
"Arghhh.." Sebastian growled spurting blood, life was slowly leaving him as he felt his heart beat slowing down. It was at that moment that all of a sudden, Alexander's soul that has been sitting beside them moved and at that instant, Sebastian passed out.

~~ COUNTRY M, ALEXANDER'S CASTILE ~~
Kimberly was eating rather slowly and would glance at the direction of the servants who were staring at her.
From the look on her face, one could tell she was uncomfortable but she didn't show.
She was used to being watched by so many people but not when she is eating..
Old man Chen had left her for a brief moment, saying he was visiting someone.
She suddenly regretted not following him there, but she may inconvenience the person by acting like a clingy dog towards old man Chen.
However...
"Do you guys need anything?" Kimberly suddenly asked the servants who were staring at her like as if she grew horns. Blame her not, the stares were too much and it was beginning to give goosebumps.
"No, ma'am.." they all said in unison and some bit their lips in fear that they've been caught staring at the Alpha's visitor. No one could blame some of them, this would be their first time having a visitor since they began working at the castle for many years.
"But you were staring.." Kimberly said with "as a matter of fact" voice but none of them said word, they were all trembling inside. It was at that moment that Old man Liu, the Butler of the castle, came to their rescue.
"Please pardon them ma'am, most are newly employed and haven't known much about the work..., I promise to fire them if they in any way make you uncomfortable again..." Old man Liu said with a bow and Kimberly smiled.
"Oh.. okay.." she said with awkward smile as she stare at the old man in front of her. Why does he look like someone she's seen from somewhere?
However, she shook her head. How can she possibly find someone she's never seen for once in her life familiar?
At that moment...
Kimberly suddenly stopped eating and stood up. Thou, she hasn't eaten up to a half plate but she was full. She glanced at the servants who were all on standby waiting for her to instruct them, they were like about fifteen.
Feeling bored, she began looking around the castle with eyes full of admiration. That was the typical Kimberly Hills, she loved things that screams wealth.
"A castle... it's just the name made for this place alone." Kimberly thought looking around.
If her hunch was correct, this castle which is worth a fortune would probably have a beautiful garden...
"Would you like a tour around the castle..?" Old man Liu who seemed to understand why she was looking around asked.
Instantly, Kimberly nodded without staring at him and he smiled warmly..
"This way please.." Old man Liu said and began showing her around..
All she was being shown around, Kimberly was amazed and impressed by how grand and magnificent the castle was..
"Here's called planet.." Old man Liu said as they got to the highest place at the castle.
"Planet..?"She asked in confusion as to why they named it that.
"Yes ma'am, it was named planet because, at this place you have a perfect view of the sunrise, sunset, the stars and the moon... you can add the su if you want hehehe.."Old man Liu said with a chuckle and Kimberly chuckled too.
"You are funny, Mr. Liu.." Kimberly said. At that moment, her eyes caught a small house that seemed like a cottage inside the garden and her eyes narrowed.
Since Old man Liu began showing her around the castle, she was quick to notice something strange..
He had shown her around the castle but never went close to that part of the castle which seemed darker than any other part of the place.
Her curiosity was suddenly kicked in and she badly wanted to know what was that in the garden.
Once they got to the garden, Old man Liu felt that was enough for the day..
"And here is the castle's garden..., let me know if you need anything else ma'am." Old man Liu asked politely and she nodded..
"Hmm.. he didn't show me around this place.." Kimberly thought.
"you didn't show me around the garden.." She asked curiously and stared at the old man.
At that instant, Kimberly could swear she saw a trace of surprise flashed through old man Liu's eyes and that further convinced her that they were something there.
"I'm sorry ma'am but this part of the castle is forbidden from us, only the supreme Alpha Alex is allowed in here. If you have any more questions, please kindly ask me." He said and Kimberly's eyes narrowed but she nodded to him anyways.
What could possibly be in this place that he didn't want her to see?
"It's okay.. I understand.. I can take it from here." She said and the old man bowed slightly before walking away..
He couldn't help it but the feeling of leaving the young woman there alone was what he couldn't tell....
That part of the castle was the Supreme Alpha's business and he was merely a butler and couldn't meddle in the affairs of his master.
He glanced at the young woman one more time before walking away..
Once Old man Liu was nowhere in sight, Kimberly went in further into the garden which was the first part of the garden as she saw when they were up at the planet.
The first part garden was very beautiful and the lights in there were blaring at it all over, bringing out it beauty more and more.
She'd seen the most rare, costly and beautiful flowers..
Kimberly was surprised and wondered how they were able to keep all the flowers fresh and none of them were out of place.
She walked around the garden checking all the flowers and inhaling all of its beautiful scents.. Even the flowers were heavenly..
There were campion, Snowdonia hawkweed, franklinia, silene tomentosa, purple roses, epipogium, red roses, white roses, chocolate cosmos, orchid, ghost orchid, jade vine, parrot peak and even green roses!
They were all rare flowers and beautiful too..
She looked around the garden with a smile but unfortunately she couldn't get her mind off the curiosity building up inside of her.
As she walked all through the parts of the garden, she thought about the small cottage she saw inside the garden.
However, at last, curiosity got the best of her and she decided to go to the small cottage even though her heart was against it.
She looked around the place, she made sure that the coast was clear and she began walking towards the small cottage.
She was almost close to the cottage when someone said from behind her.
"What are you doing here?"
