CHAPTER 4

The murder in the Blood Moon Pack is one of the memorable events for the past fifty years.

There are also some killing spree incidents in different places that also taken over the word 'war' to its large scale. But it never exceeded the level of its cruelty all throughout the years.

Redson, who became the Alpha of the fallen pack made it rise and dominate the whole Monster Tribe. And now, he is already crowned as it's leader because of the merits he accumulated in those 'wars'.

The reasons of such things for the past fifty years are all considered trivial and unnecessary when it was compared to the massacre that taken place in that historical pack.

Redson became a killing machine under the name of the Monster Tribe leader in hopes that one day, he'll die and be with Raiz who already deceased fifty years ago.

But, because he is a pureblood Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack and a descendant of the Demon King that reigned the lands a millennia years ago, he have no ability of dying because of being an immortal.

An immortal can only be killed by their fellow immortal. He can't die due to his will, sickness, accident and even simple assassination of those who are not immortal. He have the lifespan of a thousand years or more that he considered a curse.

"Curse this blood! Curse this life!" He roared as he started to throw the things near him.

For the past fifty years, he chose to be a strong and wise leader and Alpha for his people. He wants to leave the management to his Beta Theodore, but he is always failing to 'leave' even if he wants it to. Because the 'curse' he have is keeping him in the world of the living.

He tried to commit suicide, drink a poisoned drink from the other people who wants to kill him, charge forward to a sword that was aimed for him and even let himself be infected with a contagious disease, but nothing amongst them let him 'leave'. Because of his strange suicidal mentality, he was called the 'Mad Alpha' or 'Crazy Alpha'.

But instead of being affected with those sneers and contemptuous, he never yield and complained. But after his fifty years of being a madman, he finally decided to live in seclusion where the only people who can meet him is his Beta, Prinnx and the other trusted aides of his that he gathered for his fifty years.

The whole world somehow forgotten him. There are some people who wants to meet him and can remember him. There are also some people who understands that his actions have its own reasons and didn't even dare to badmouth him. There are people who believed in him, more than he knows.

Another fifty years of peace passed and the 120-years old Redson came to realize something from his reading for the past fifty years of seclusion.

"Everything in this world is possible!" He thought while holding a certain book.

He decided to get out of his library that has a lot of books stocked up everywhere.

His black hair is so long and he also have beard and almost every part of him is covered with hair.

Theodore saw his Alpha getting out that made him cry because of joy. But at the same time, he is also shocked to see a hairy monster in front of him.

"Alpha? Is that really you?" He asked, bewildered.

Redson turned to him, he looked at him like asking, 'who the hell are you thinking then?'.

Theodore shook his head, wiping off his tears and cleared his throat as he bowed in front of his Alpha whom he believes that finally escaped from the abnormally long period of mourning from his dead mate.

"Help me prepare! It's been so long since I got out." Redson said that made Theodore's face became bright as the sunlight.

Prinnx secretly take a peek of his brother and smiled genuinely as he left that place to his room.

For the past one hundred years, he helped his brother for his activities, killing in the battlefield, managing the territory, chasing out the people whom his brother's considering a nuisance and even assassinating those who covets the place of his Luna that Raiz almost acquired before her death.

He became his brother's shadow for all those years. If his brother is doing dirty works to die, he is the one who is doing the dirtier job than him to keep him alive and satisfied. But no one... no one knows about this except Theodore who is just watching him do his businesses with indifference.

He is used to it. He's already used to the contempt in his eyes whenever he looks at him. He is also well aware for the reason, but he kept himself silent and silently waiting for his brother's recovery in the dark.

And now that Redson is back to light, he'll once again be his shadow, who's existence is unknown.

"Blue, Silver, Luna... I am so happy that he's back to the light. I really hope that you'll guide him to his full recovery even we all know that it's... impossible." He mumbled while sitting on a tree branch while holding the last piece of memories he holds from his deceased brothers— their last gifts.

Redson's return was spread like a wildfire in the whole territory of the Monster Tribe. This news also arrived at the Land of Purity that made some people felt fear and some are relief. There are some people that hoping for his recovery and further peace while the others also felt wary for his reappearance.

But in the midst of this shocking news, the sky opened up and an envoy made by both Divines and Angels descended. It made Redson and the other two leaders of each tribes to be called in a meeting with the envoys that arrived.

Redson attended with his usual black tux and coat with his now long silky black hair flowing with no ties nor bonds. Julianne is wearing her usual fitted dress even at the age of fifty six. And Carrien also wears his black and red motif tux.

Amongst the leaders in the Human, Demons and Monster Tribes, the youngest of them all is Julianne and the oldest is Carrien. And because Redson, who is in the neutral side and the one in their middle in terms of age, he is more like a mediator and not a tyrant mad Alpha that everyone knows.

"It's been a hundred of years, Red. How are you?" Carrien asked.

Carrien is technically Redson's relative. They also shares the blood of their ancestor a thousand years ago. They all have the ability to gain a long life that considers the both of them, immortals.

Carrien, unlike Redson is a calm and collected person. He always smiles yet it makes Redson shiver to the fact that he knows too well what is behind those smiles of his.

"Yeah." Redson just responded with a blank expression.

Carrien is already used to it. He do not see this expression as offensive or arrogance but he well understands what it is. It is the expression of someone who have no fixed reason to live.

But for Julianne who do not know how Redson's life existed for the past one hundred years, she found him arrogant that she can't help but to ignore him.

It's a good thing towards Redson, because a human like Julianne, for him are too shallow. They are already hooked up in a person because of good looks. But when they are already done with it, they will just ignore it and throw it somewhere else. And he have no intention to give Julianne even a sign to follow him.

"Who is he? How arrogant. Humph!" Julianne gave Redson her remark by Carrien.

Carrien smiled awkwardly and didn't meddle with it. He just hopes that she will not be slaughtered by Prinnx who is known for being the 'Shadow' of Redson.

Redson took his seat beside Carrien and Julianne at the other side. Carrien can feel the pressure of being in the middle, but he sighed in relief when the two members of the envoys took their seats as well.

"This leader of the envoys from the Angel's race, my name is Mildred. And this Divine is called Lala the guardian of buds."

Buds means for them as 'new life'. Carrien have his own hunch for the envoy's arrival.

"This envoy was sent here to announce the birth of the Saintess and the Holy Maiden coming from our two races. At her 18th birthday, she will be descending here for life experience. We hope that you will teach her and treat her well." The Divine named Lala said cheerfully.

"What will be our benefit in this news? I don't get it why are you so excited! Isn't it easy for you to give birth? But why are you happy that there'll be a new member within you?" Julianne asked.

"Because they aren't like us who needs mating, summoning or sexual intercourses to produce a new life. They are created by the essences of life." Redson said like he just heard the dumbest question in his life.

"Are you laughing at me? And who are you anyways to answer such question?" Julianne asked irritably.

"Human Lord. The Monster Lord is not wrong. The Divines and Angels have a very hard time to create a new member. Because it takes a thousand years before we can produce at least three. But now, because the Saintess has a unique ability to absorb our essences and the Divines, the other creations died and she only remained alive." Mildred explained.

"And if she is really a hybrid Holy Maiden of the Divines and Saintess of the Angel Tribe, she really must have a powerful abilities, right?" Carrien asked.

"Oh! How great that you are here, Demon Lord. You really are a brilliant one. Indeed! And this phenomenon is so rare that even the Monster Lord's grandfather have no chance to witness with his own eyes." Lala said cheerfully.

"The Monster Lord's... What?" Julianne asked in disbelief.

"Yes! The Monster Lord is the direct grandson of the previous Demon Lord a thousand years ago. Why? Don't you know that?" Lala asked innocently.

In Redson's perspective, Lala is making Julianne realize her place. Lala seems to be a kind person, but she hates those arrogant and ignorant people who act like they know everything.

Mildred on the other hand is an observant. In those two closed yet smiling eyes is the eyes of a person who makes the right judgement in accordance of the situation.

Carrien knows those facts. He shared it to Redson before, but he didn't realized that these powerful figures in the Land of Purity will descend to personally deliver such news.

It is a big of a deal that a certain creature was born. Because for the people in both lands, it only means that a peaceful days is soon to come.

"This news is so important to us. Especially to us, who lives in the Land of Impurity. Who would have thought that before I die and go back to the earth, I will be able to see her holiness? I am so happy." Carrien said emotionally.

Julianne looked at him in confusion, she was about to speak when Redson interrupted her.

"If you have nothing to say that have sense, shut up because no one will mistaken you as a mute if you will actually do so." He said coldly.

Julianne is stunned to what she heard. Who would have thought that there'll be a bold person to tell her to shut her mouth?

"Who are you to talk to me like that? You... Barbaric people!" She complained immaturely.

"If I am a 'Barbaric person' like you claimed. Then you are an Ignorant and Immature person that no one can beat in the history. Can't you understand the word seniority and superiority? This is a meeting with the Angel and Divines but you keep on blabbering like a parrot." He retorted.

Julianne is about to retort back when she suddenly feel the chilly atmosphere. She turned and saw the distate expressions on their faces.

Carrien looked at her with a dark expression, Lala and Mildred shook their heads in disbelief. With that, she felt her body shrunk. She is scared.

She knows that her mouth works in this way. But if it means seniority, she knows nothing. She is still like a child despite of her age. So immature, and still lacks of knowledge.

"Before you open your mouth, I hope that you will think twice before uttering a word. Act like a Human Lord, not a little immature infant." Redson said that made her grit her teeth. She realized it now, that this is Redson's fault. And with that, she swore that she will make him be humiliated like this in the near future.
