Chapter 1: The world they live in

The year is 3700. The planet name is Teteran. After a 2500 year species war the wolves finally took control of one entire hemisphere of this planet. The wolves whose population is now at 3 billion have taken control of one side of the world and look to conquer the other side. The other side is more complicated for them even though their military technology is way above the other furs they don't have the ability to match the magic use on the other side of the world. The wolves now have a society in which they dominate and any other fur is either a slave or a servant. There are a few non-wolves who are free but they are treated so horribly when free that most return to a life of serving the wolves.

The other side is in chaos. The surviving species have nowhere reached the sheer numbers of the wolves and are constantly fighting over land and resources. They have no government or even country boundaries just species domains which are constantly changing due to nomadic species and expanding empires.

Our story follows the events of a boy a hybrid between a Snow tiger and a wolf. His mother is a snow tigers with blue eyes and white and blue stripped fur. His father is a wolf from the Eastern hemisphere with purple fur and red eyes. He is three years old right now his name is Vincent Juhhal. He has his mother's tiger fur pattern but has his father's wolf features. He has 2 brothers a full blooded Snow tiger named Luhull age eight and a hybrid like him age five named Jacob Jr., he has his father's dark purple fur and a wolf's muzzle and paws. He has a feline tail which is what identifies him as felinecanine hybrid. Right now the family is running away their village was decimated by an army of hyenas who want to take over this territory.

"Luh keep running do not let them catch you or your brothers" Their mother said of breathe as she ran through the barren war torn land and watched as trees behind her burned as they outcome of the attacks on the village was well seen

"I am trying mom" Luhull whined back dragging his two brothers along by their paws as they ran.

They were running down a dirt road when a jeep came up behind them. It was full of hyenas with machine guns drawn. They appeared to be enchanted guns which were the favorite weapon of the hyenas. They gave chase to the family of four but Lallah, the mother turned to face the oncoming truck. A charm bracelet on her wrist started glowing.

"Earth spikes" she yelled then punched the ground. Spikes emerged from the ground and stopped the truck. A few hyenas came through the spikes that surrounded their jeep and started firing at Lallah.

"Earth wall" she yelled and punched the ground again. This time a wall of earth appeared between her and the hyenas. She signaled her cubs to keep running. She started to move away from the wall when it exploded. It was shot by an RPG that exploded and caught Lallah in the blast.

"MOM!" Luhull screamed. He gathered his magic and activated his charm preparing to heal his mother but then saw some Hyena's coming through the hole in the wall made by the rocket.

"Water Bomb!" he yelled and he gathered a glob of water in the air and threw it at the hyenas coming through the wall. They were washed back as the three cubs ran over to their bleeding mother.

"I said run boys" Lallah said in a quiet voice.

"I am not leaving you mom. We have to get out of here" Luh responded tears starting to form in his eyes.

"Luhull you must get Vincent out of here. He has the golden core. He can save the world and bring peace to the species." Lallah said trying to comfort her eldest son by softly rubbing his cheek.

"Mom I can't take care of them without you. You have to come" Luh now tears running down his face as it was clear to him his mother was not going to make it.

"My time in this world is running out I regret that I won't be able to see my boys grow older into respectable young men" Lallah said in a softer voice than before. She was growing weak and losing her energy.

"Mom!" screamed out. Sadness was over taking him.

"I am sorry Luh. You have great magic talent I know you can get them to the next tiger settlement safely. Please Luh do this favor for mommy"

"YOU FOUR AREN"T GOING ANYWHERE!" yelled a hyena holding a pistol pointing it towards their injured mother.

"You aren't hurting her anymore" Luh said moving to defend his fallen mother

"LUH!" Lallah tried to scream out but only could manage a soft whisper.

"YOU DIE FIRST KID" the hyena shot the pistol at Luh. Vincent saw the bullet heading towards his brother and knew it was dangerous. A golden star mark on his chest began to glow. His blue stripes turned gold and his body began to emit a gold light. The bullet stopped before it hit Luh and the hyena started to shiver with fear.

"The kid has a golden core!" The Hyena exclaimed in total surprise.

Luh took the chance to wrap a collar of water around the hyena's neck. He then froze the water and choked the hyena to death and then finally ran over to his mother.

"Mom!"

"You see your brother protected you. He must survive" Lallah just managed to say barely audible.

"Mom we need you! I can't take care of them without you" Luh said crying his like there was no tomorrow and for his family there would be none.

"You will have to Luh!" Lallah said closing her eyes her life slowly drifting away.

"LALLAH!" screamed a wolf approaching in a jeep with soldiers. It was accompanied by at least ten other jeeps full of fully armed soldiers. The wolf who cried was a purple wolf. Vincent's father Jacob sr.

"Dr. Jacob?!" Luh asked the wolf who jumped out of the jeep and ran over to the cubs.

"Lallah!?" Jacob cried out holding her paw and taking into his own.

"Jacob? Is that you" Lallah managed to ask but her eyes were still closed. She did not have the energy to even open them.

"It is me what happened to you?" Jacob answered her in a soft but soothing voice rubbing her paws trying to seek comfort.

"The village was destroyed! We had to run. Those Hyenas destroyed everything."

"Dang I was too late." Jacob swore out loud.

"Jacob you have to take the cubs. Take them with you and get out of this war torn place." Lallah begged her lover.

"I know Jr. and Vincent are my sons and I will take care of them"

"Please could you take Luhull with you too" Lallah asked. Jacob could only smile and respond.

"I was already planning too."

Lallah turned her head to the side her eyes still not opened. "I am sorry I cannot come with you"

"Lallah, this is my fault I should have gotten here faster. I should have stayed. Even if it meant being called a traitor to the wolves." Jacob looked full of regret as he let go of Lallah's paw.

"Not your fault Jacob. I know I complicated your life but please take care of my cubs please?" Lallah desperately begged. Jacob was a little bit offended by her asking but managed to crack a smile.

"I told you before they are my cubs too all of them even Luh."

"I am glad I met you Jacob..." Lallah said in her final breathe. Her life could no longer be sustained by her body. The burns and cuts all over her body had drained too much of blood and her energy.

"LALLAH!?" Jacob screamed out in sadness and Luhull just continued to cry. Junior and Vincent had started to cry on their mother's body after just watching on.

"Sir we have hostiles approaching us we need to move" One of the soldiers told Jacob after letting him cry for a few minutes.

Jacob started wiping his eyes and gaining his composure he then took all the boys off their mother. "Okay general. You kids are coming with me right now!"

"But what about mom!?" ask Luh as he watched Jacob carry both his brothers in his arms. They both leaned their heads against his shoulder while continuing to cry.

"She is already dead Luh just come with me now she gave her life so you could live now get your brothers and let's go" Jacob tried to convince Luh and succeeded. Luh even though young knew what his mother would have wanted him to do right now.

"Alright" Luh responded as a solider grabbed his paw.

"General we are ready to get you to the airstrip now!" The solider who had Luh was saying as they all got into the trucks and prepared to leave. The convoy of jeeps drove off leaving the dead body of Lallah there alone. Jacob and Luhull could only look back at what was once the most important love in their life. Vincent and Junior could only just seek the comfort of their father who held them in his arms.

After sometime driving they arrived at an airstrip where a private jet awaited them. Jacob dragged Luh and the young hybrids to the Jet.

"Get onboard" Jacob yelled clearly emotional right now.

Once inside a butler helped the kids get buckled in for takeoff. Jacob told the butler to get a meal prepared for the cubs and bring them some drinks. The Jet's engine roared and the plane began to vibrate. Vincent and Junior had become a little bit startled by the sound and the vibrations. After a while the butler returned with drinks after the plane had taken off. Vincent and Jacob where cuddling up with their big brother both fearful of the wolf in front of them.

"Sir there may be a problem with the papers for master Luhull" The butler said returning from another room where he had entertained a phone call from the immigration authorities.

"What is the problem?" Jacob groaned.

"His status is classified as a slave sir" Butler said completely impassive.

"What?! I clearly applied for adoption papers" Jacob exclaimed back in surprise.

"Someone seemed to have changed the application sir"

"I know who. It was my Mother. I shall deal with it but give the agency a call and tell them about the mix up they should be more than happy to fix it." Jacob said with grunt. This was not something he wanted to deal with right now but it had some huge implications.

"I will get on that sir" The butler said bowing and leaving the room.

Vincent and Jacob were starting to cry again but Luhull comforted them. Jacob looked on in concern for the boys.

"Do you remember who I am Luhull?" Jacob asked the young tiger.

"Yes Dr. Jacob"

"I am sorry we had to leave your mom behind" He said rubbing Luhull's shoulder.

"*sniff* why did you come back anyway I thought you left for good" Luh responded.

"I would never leave you cubs behind. Even you Luh you may not be my real son but I always have thought of you as one." Jacob smiled at him.

"But you left when Vincent was born! You left us behind then so why comeback now?"

"I had to. The elders grew suspicious of me. Your mother was going to leave with me but she loved her clan so much she could not leave it. I was very worried when she sent me a message saying you were in danger. I came back to get you cubs out but I was too late" Jacob sounded remorseful. He left for reasons that were trivial at the time.

"*sniff* I just want my mommy back" Luh said breaking down in a full on shower of tears.

"Come here you!" The wolf cuddled the snow tiger. Then pulled the two hybrids into a three way hug. "I know you cubs are hurting but I will do everything I can to make that hurt go away just trust me." Jacob continued the hold the cubs tight for the rest of the flight.

Ten years have passed since Jacob rescued the three cubs from the war torn part of the world. The wolves have since set up a colony in the western hemisphere using it as a slave trading route. They buy prisoners of war and ship them over to be slaves to the wolves.

Hybrids have been something wolves have dealt with and most wolves consider them to be an insult to their species. Some become slaves to their wolf parents some become recognized as wolves but suffer from a huge social stigma against them. Even more stigmatized are free non-wolves who have been adopted by a wolf. Most have so much trouble after leaving their parents they end up in slavery even though their parents are wolves. These are the problems facing Vincent and his family right now and to make matters worse their Father Jacob Fangz Sr. is an alpha.

The reason the wolves took control during the early stages of the 2000 year war was they found the alpha phenom and utilized it to its fullest potential.

The alpha phenom is a genetic mutation that occurred in the early stages of the war. The wolves found a way to identify alphas. Alphas have enhanced intelligence, physical powers and leadership capabilities. In magic species they also have enhanced magic talent. The wolves found theirs and trained them to lead. Thanks to their contributions alphas are given a special status. They are given political power over areas and are worshipped by the regulars.

Everyone is required to have an id that has symbols of their status. R signals regular wolves. A stands for alpha. S stands for Slave and H(A) is given to relatives of alphas who are related but not alphas themselves. Luhull was has H(A),R on his ID. The others all have A. Including Bryce their brother. Bryce was the result of a negotiation between Jacob and his parents. They were upset that he was not producing an heir so they arranged for him to donate his sperm and produce an heir. Bryce is sixteen and is a Purple wolf with red eyes that was similar in looks to his father and has only lived with his dad and the others for the past six months. He was raised by his grandparents while his father was in the snow tiger settlement. Bryce is constantly at odds with Luhull. Because Luhull is the oldest he would be the heir to his father's alpha rule. No wolves would be ruled over by a non-alpha better yet a Non wolf. Bryce is in line to inherit his father's area if the alpha association steps in which they are likely to do. Jacob however has groomed Luhull for the position since he adopted him and some see him as a great asset what they have in store for Luhull is yet to be seen. The others have a more complicated position Jacob and Vincent who are hybrids have alpha status but since they are hybrids some on the association consider them as bad as Luhull but others see them as great heirs. Jacob sr. is considered one of the most popular alphas with the regular wolves since Jr. and Vincent were groomed by him for their roles some consider them to be just as good as Bryce.

But today Vincent was at a mall waiting for his Friend Janice to come out of the changing room. He was reading a letter from the Alpha association that came a few days ago.

"They fit. Are you still reading that thing?" His friend said from the other side of the changing room. Bryce was standing out front just waiting for her to finish trying on the dresses

"Yes. When we get back the alpha association is going to make a decision on whether Bryce and the rest of us should live together and who should live with dad." Vincent just folded the letter up and tucked into his back pocket.

"Vin it's all politics don't let it get you down. You know your dad would never let them take you guys. Remember he doesn't care for Bryce all that much" a dress was tossed over the door.

"Still if he is ordered to take Bryce in and kick the rest of us out ... I just don't know what would happen to us especially Luhull. You know my grandparents think he should have been a slave instead of getting adopted." Vincent took a breathe and continued "I don't know Janice Luhull is turning 18 soon and once that happens dad won't be able to protect him" Vincent was letting his mood fall and Janice would not let that happen

"He at least will never lose hit honorary alpha status." The door opened and out was a beautiful silver wolf with white eyes and pink hair that reached down to her shoulders.

"well they already failed to take that away. It's pure politics. Let's go to the register" Vincent just gave up and did not bother with it anymore.

The silver wolf took the bag with the three dresses she tried on to the counter where the price total came up to 500$ Vincent insisted on paying for them since he dragged her on this trip to begin with. He reached in his pocket and pulled out his Debit card and his ID and handed them to the cashier. The cashier's face grew very sour and she looked at the kid with a ticked off expression on her face.

"What kind of trick your pulling here kid? This ID is totally fake!" The cashier said slamming the ID and card down on the desk.

"Check it" Vincent just replied calmly.

"I don't have too. The only alpha around these parts is the one who is in the park right now making a speech."

"That is my dad you can check the ID" Vincent said again totally calm in the face of these person who was furious at him.

"NONSENSE NO ALPHA WOULD HAVE an Oil Blood kid" The cashier yelled out.

"I am telling you to check it before you embarrass yourself further" Vincent just continued to act calm. Janice was looking on with an annoyed look on her knowing what was about to come.

The cashier got mad and went around the counter and grabbed Vincent by the collar of his shirt.

"YOU ARE NOT EVEN A WOLF YOU ARE A FREAKING HYBRID. A Dirt blooded Hybrid. Don't come in here acting like you own the place when your place is at the feet of a real wolf!" The woman said lifting Vincent off the ground. Vincent now became annoyed.

"I warned you. Guards!" Vincent called out.

Instantly the Cashier was surrounded by fives wolves dressed in a black suit uniform with a patch that had the crest of the Alpha guards. The cashier dropped Vincent and raised her hands into the air.

"Master Vincent what charges do you want to press sir" One of the wolves asked their young master.

"None. Just get her to cash the dresses I am buying for Janice" Vincent said fixing his shirt and straightening himself out.

"Right away sir!" The wolf responded and moved over to face the cashier.

"You mean this hybrid is really an alpha?" The cashier was totally stunned by this revelation. She could not believe this hybrid in front of her was an alpha.

"Yes and you just assaulted an alpha be lucky he is very forgiving and patient. Most other alphas would have had you arrested. You should do your job before I really have to arrest you" The wolf said in a very intimidating tone.

The cashier gulped and then mange dot squeak out "Yes right away."

The cashier returned to her station and gathered the ID card and debit card. The cashier swiped the card and gave Vincent the receipt while Vincent waved off the guards and then left the mall with Janice.

"Do you have to do that every time we go on a trip" Janice said totally annoyed that this had to happen again.

"Yes" Vincent responded bluntly

Janice could not help but laugh at that response. "You're insane VIN but thanks for the dresses but should have let me at least pay for half"

"No way Janice I dragged you out here you are my guest for the trip anything you want is on me" Vincent said trying to assure her.

"But really 500$ isn't that a bit much?" Janice asked already knowing the answer.

"I get 100000$ a month I spend 100$. It is really no problem!" Vincent said bluntly again.

"Geez you are one spoilt alpha." Janice said sarcastically.

"I Bryce gets 400000$ a month and spends it all. He is the spoilt alpha!" Jacob responded

"You don't seem to get along with him at all"

"None of us do. He has our grandparents' attitudes towards us and he makes sure we know it" Vincent became a bit angry at the mention of his 'Brother'.

"Sounds like he is a jerk"

"Most alphas are" Vincent said bluntly again

"You aren't. And that is why we are friends!" Janice managed a smile.

"Remember what you called me when we first met"

"Stripey!" Said trying to sound like a little cub again.

Vincent had to laugh at how she talked "Man we were silly back then weren't we!"

"Yep but we are still silly now aren't we" Janice just stuck her tongue out at him trying to get him to forget the issues that would envelop his family soon.

Vincent had to catch himself but managed glance at his watch and realized they were running late. "We are now come on my dad's speech should have just started we need to hurry"

"Wait! Shouldn't you be on stage with him?" Janice asked as Vincent started to run out of the mall.

"Only Bryce is allowed to be on stage with him. It just makes things easier if we are in the crowd" Janice looked at Vincent trying to discern whether he was angry or not but she could tell he was just a bit annoyed. Probably by Bryce.

"Okay" Janice digressed.

The pair continued running to the park but by time they got their Jacob's speech was about to finish. The mayor was standing next to Jacob while Bryce stood just a little behind his father. Vincent looked around and found his other two brothers. Jr. was leaned up against a tree taking a nap while some around him were gossiping about him being there. Luhull was in a tree closer to the stage with just a few people noticing him sitting in the tree.

Vincent just stood at the back of the crowd. It was moderately small seeing how his dad had made five appearances earlier that day and this was thankfully the final one until they could go home.

Approaching the back of the crowd were four wolves dressed in jackets moving suspiciously. Luh and Vincent took notice of them. Jr. was still sleeping. When the speech was over and the crowd was giving Sr. a rounding applause. The wolves made their move. They pulled four guns and fired at the stage. Luh managed to get a water shield up in front his father but one bullet managed to get through and hit Sr. in the shoulder. The crowd was thrown into a panic but Luh jumped out of the tree and straight onto the stage. He gathered water around his paw and then charged it with healing magic. He put the water over the wound and started to stop the bleeding. "Hang in there dad."

"Ugh!" Jacob groaned out in pain.

After a few seconds Jacob seemed to recover from the bullet wound breathing normally and maintaining to retain consciousness.

"Alright that should do it" Luh said removing his paw from the healed wound

"What would I do if I did not drag you all over the country with me?" said reassuringly. He was glad he always had Luh by his side.

Luh cracked a smile and laughed. "Probably been dead!" He paused a bit and looked around "but where are the shooters?"

Everyone turned to see the shooters bound and gagged. "Already taken care of" Vincent said tightening the rope on the final shooter.

"You alright dad?" Vincent called out as he gagged the last shooter.

"I just got shot. No I am not alright" Jacob paused when Vincent became annoyed at his antics. "Just kidding your brother knows his magic"

Luh came over and intervened. "And I also know my potions which I have administer to make sure there are no side effects from the bullet"

"Well we better get home then." Jacob looked around and stared at Bryce "could you call the limo?"

"Whatever" Bryce responded not even looking like he cared.

Jacob just groaned and then called out to Vincent. "Vincent could you wake up your brother?"

"On it." The two went on to do what they were told. A few minutes later the limo pulled up to the entrance of the park. The mayor escorted Sr. and the kids to the limo

"We hope to see you and your son again Jacob" The mayor bowed gracefully.

"Son?" Jacob raised an eyebrow when he asked the mayor.

"Yes Bryce your son" The mayor said back but only to the dismay of an annoyed Jacob.

Jacob just rolled his eyes then stated. "You know I have four sons right?"

"I thought they were merely slaves!" The mayor had a bit of a quizzical look to his face when he said that. He did not expect such a popular alpha to do one of the most taboo things.

"I won't hold that against you since that is everyone's first thought but remember they are all my sons and they are all equally important to me" Jacob could only smile and watch all of his sons in the car just waiting for him to get in.

"The alpha association must have had a fit when you brought home those kids" the major said while laughing a bit

Jacob could not stop from laughing himself even though it was certainly not a laughing matter back then. "They did. And they still aren't comfortable with it. In two days they are going to tell me their decision on what will happen to Luhull."

"I hope they don't come down too harsh on him" The mayor and Jacob were still laughing but calmed down.

Jacob just finally smiled and got into the limo. "They still understand my social standing so I think they will take that into consideration. Well I better not keep my cubs waiting, goodbye mayor"

"Good bye Jacob" The mayor waved off and watched the lime leave.

The day of the meeting with the alpha association came and Luhull was very nervous. The primary purpose of the meeting was to address what would happen to him when he turned eighteen in the coming months. But they sent out a notice to every member of the family which meant there was more to their visit.

Five members of the association arrived at noon and entered the conference room where all five members of the Fangz family were seated and waiting anxiously.

"Good day Fangz family" The first of the five wolves said as he entered and those behind got seated. All were dressed in business suits and had folders in hand.

"Hello Hanley" Jacob said greeting the wolf.

"Shall we get down to business?"

Jacob just shrugged. "Why put it off any longer"

Hanley just cleared his throat and began. "After a recent set of decisions from the alpha association we have decided that Luhull Fangz will be required to enter the army after graduating high school this year."

Luhull breathe a sigh of relief they only wanted him in the army. One of the other wolves handed him an envelope which contained a new ID on it was the A symbol marking an Alpha. Luhull was surprised and so was his father.

"What the hell is going on? You guys made him a full blown alpha?" Jacob exclaimed in his surprise.

Hanley looked quite impassive as he answered. "Yes. The recent blood work you had done on him revealed something that we didn't test for before. Luhull is an Alpha."

Everyone was stunned by this revelation except Bryce who was clearly fuming and just waiting to erupt.

Hanley just continued. "We also had them test Jacob and Vincent. We found while they inherited the wolf Alpha indicator from you they also have the tiger alpha indicator."

"Wait you mean their mom was a Tiger alpha?" Jacob was stunned. He knew Luhull's father was could have been an alpha but not their mother? Lallah?

"By our findings it would appear so. While other species are generally not liked in positions of authority when they are found to be alphas we make an exception. Alphas of other species are normally put in charge of divisions of the army. Because of Luhull's ties to you we have decided to place him in the Alpha general command"

"WHAT! He is being placed in the Alpha general command?" Bryce said clearly furious that Luhull an inferior snow tiger was going to be placed on a command that alphas had trouble getting on to.

Hanley just stared over to Bryce for a few seconds then turned back to Jacob. "Luhull will have to accept the proposition and be trained for a while but seeing as he was trained by you in military tactics and leadership he was unanimously voted to be given the position of alpha general."

"I... I become an alpha general?" Luhull could barely manage words. This was clear something he did not expect.

"Yes you will have to earn your keeps but the alpha association has high hopes for you. We also know of your magic capabilities. Since you are a magic alpha you will be required to lead troops on the front line." Luhull just leaned back in his chair sighing in relief. "Make no mistake this will be a difficult job for you but the association has voted and this is what they have decided for you. You will also now have full alpha status."

Hanley paused and then turned to Vincent and Junior "On to the other issues. Vincent and Jacob have also been proposed to join the alpha general command on the same premise as Luhull. Since they are still so young we will not require them to make a full decision now but the alpha association has decided to make provisions for them now."

Bryce had clearly heard enough of this! "What about the separation I thought you were going to separate me from these hybrids!"

Hanley Gave Bryce an evil glare while answering him. "With the new information presented about The Subjects it has been determined that being surrounded by such a diverse group of alphas will be an asset to a future alpha leader. Thus Bryce Fangz will remain in the household with the other alphas."

"Guess you're stuck with us Brycey!" Junior said with his tongue out clearly meant to tease and provoke Bryce. And it was clearly working.

"Shut it Junior!" was all he could respond with.

"Our final decision concerns all of you" Hanley got the attention of everyone again. "The association voted and Jacob Fangz, Vincent Fangz, Luhull Fangz, Bryce Fangz and Kilec Fangz will make a five man alpha team and participate in the Alpha games this coming summer."

"What! We have been invited to the alpha games?" Luhull jumped up in excitement. He was going to have some fun.

Hanley still showed little emotion but responded. "Yes. With the provision the tigers wear a magic suppressing device"

"Sounds fair enough but who is Kilec Fangz?" Jacob sr. asked as three of his sons were looking excited and one looking angry and annoyed.

"He is the final issue we came to discuss. The head of the Alpha guard recently died in action. He had no offspring but was the guardian of a non-wolf alpha. Since even non-wolves alphas are deemed of value by the association we have taken custody of him and have determined that Jacob Fangz sr. is the best person to become the guardian of this alpha."

"Me?! Why me?!" Jacob was curious as to who would pick him.

"You have experience with Alphas that are non-wolves and have a diverse household also we have found history between you and this boy."

Jacob crossed his arms and looked at Hanley then stared down the other wolves that were just sitting there. "What history could have I have had with the kid"

"He was previously known as Prince Kilec of the Raccoon Empire."

"*gulp* Prince Kilec? Him? He is alive?" Jacob could not believe that this boy would be that Kilec.

"Yes and looking forward to living with the man who saved his life"

"I... didn't know he became a slave I thought he was exchanged for prisoners with the raccoons!" Jacob exclaimed he never handed over Kilec to the military for this. He expected him to be returned home.

"He was going to be but his Kingdom was conquered by the Moles and the trade fell through. Shortly after when he was to be sold as a slave a blood test revealed him to be an alpha. As alphas of other species are forbidden to be slaves he was taken in by the Head of the alpha guard. The alpha guard left instructions for you in his will"

One of the wolves got up and handed Sr. a folder containing a letter the head of the alpha guard wrote to him. Sr's face grew from curious to startled as he read the letter by time he was finished his eyes were wide and his mouth was hanging a bit

"Are you sure this is his will?" could only ask in disbelief.

"Yes"

Jacob slammed the folder down on the table hard. "Then I have one question what is the association doing about this?"

"We have started working with the federal government and local offices to find out more about this Anti-alpha movement and the Species rebellion. Your household will be a prime target for these organizations. We will increase security but we are confident that your offspring can defend themselves well."

Jacob just hung his down. "That they can well all except Bryce. I will start the adoption process tomorrow will I encounter any resistance form the association this time?"

"No we have already issued the order."

Jacob just started to leave the room. "Then I guess I have some papers to prepare"

"That concludes the purpose of our meeting today." Hanley ended the meeting and started to leave but was stopped when Bryce called out.

"Wait! What about the heir determination? I thought I would be determined to be the heir to my father's area?"

Hanley turned to Bryce as the other four wolves left. "The association was in total agreement about the heir before we found out the status of Luhull. The vote was a dead heat with Luhull getting 35% of the vote Bryce getting 35% Vincent got 25% and Jacob earning 5%. Another vote will occur again in the coming months without Jacob included since he did not earn the 10% required to stay on the ballot. We will tell you the result of the vote when it occurs but for now no definite heir has been determined"

Bryce erupted again. "YOU have to be kidding me Grandfather will not be pleased"

This time Hanley's impassive face was showing a slight bit of annoyance. "Master Livingston has already expressed his distaste with the results of the vote but has said he will live with any decision the association makes. That includes the chance that Bryce will not be the heir."

"I can't believe this! Even Vincent managed to get a good bit of the voting alphas to vote for him." Bryce began to storm off and he cursed a few things under his breath.

Hanley however was not done with him by any means. "The voters have seen Luhull's record in mock military Battles. His impressive 59-1 record mirrors his father. His social standing is also quite high among certain circles. Vincent is at least half wolf and more favorable for some than Luhull and his record is also quite impressive. 13-0 in mock military battles. He is young but many see him as having the highest potential among the suitable heirs. Jacob's record is also good at 35-2 but he is not known by many. He may still get back onto the ballot next time if the association decides on an executive vote over a Group vote. Bryce your record is not as good as the others but you are the only full blood wolf alpha in the list of heirs. A 24-17 record is far from impressive and more persons are considering your capability to lead. Your military talent may not be used if you become a leader and do not enter the military but showing you can lead in the military is a quality the association looks for in area leaders. That is the status of the vote. We shall take our leave now. We shall be back to deliver Kilec. Good day Fangz." With that Hanley finally left leaving an Annoyed Bryce and a few confused hybrids and a stunned Vincent who was happy he may have a shot at being the heir.

Luhull was nervous about being an alpha general in the army but he was also happy he was now the favorite to take over his dad's area. Bryce was clearly furious as he walked off. He was so mad he expected a totally unanimous decision awarding him the heir of his dad's area but there was a tie and a full re-vote was going to happen. If Jacob was removed from the ballot he would probably lose to Luhull or at the very worse Vincent would get enough votes to catch him and Luhull. Jacob couldn't care less about what the association decided he already knew he was going to join the army when he got older. He never expected that they would be getting a new sibling but he looked forward to meeting him. Sr however was showing quite a mixed expression. He was happy that Luhull who he wanted to be his heir had a good chance to get it by the vote but he was concerned Luhull was going to be forced into the army. He was glad he prepared them for leadership positions but still never guess that Lallah was an alpha. He also was thinking of his parents. They weren't going to remain quiet about the vote and were probably going to try and influence the voting alphas. He knew Bryce was not going to be very pleasant to be around for the next few days. He was most worried about Kilec the alpha raccoon he was forced to take in. he would have taken him in any way since he knew him personally but he never expected that the head of the alpha guard was killed trying to protect Kilec. Somehow rogue magic using furs had managed to get into the country. All magic species were normally required to wear magic suppressing collars but these seemed to have removed theirs or came over without them. If Kilec was their target he was the best person for the job.

Little known outside the highest echelon of the Alpha association was that Jacob had a secret talent that few wolves in history had. His sons except Bryce also knew his secret but obviously the head alpha guard had somehow found out. Sr. just sighed and returned to his study. He now would have to reveal his secret to Bryce and find out if Bryce had his talent as well. He reached his study and entered. He forgot to close but the just waved his paw and closed the door telepathically.

"Of the three billion wolves in the world How many would do what I did do earn the ability to get my ability to use magic?" He asked no one in particular.

"All of them" said a voice from nowhere

"You have awakened?" Jacob rose and eyebrow and started looking for the source of the voice.

"Yes and with the amount of magic in the household I can soon have a body" The voice responded. It sounded quite pleased.

Jacob Sr. could only groan and ask "will you collect on our contract then?"

"Yes I will."

Jacob growled this time. "Do you have to claim the boys am I not enough?"

"You are plenty but my appetite is great. Luhull and this new boy may not be related to you by blood but after the amount of time Luhull has spent around you I have access to him. The new boy will be safe for a while."

Jacob just threw his arms up in surrender and found a chair to sit in. "the more I think about the contract I made with you is going to hurt my boys more than me"

"You cannot turn back now not after what we agreed on twenty years ago"

Jacob was still not pleased. "I should have chosen death over serving you! But I was young and naïve back then"

"Not totally naïve. Just careless. You found the reason why the wolves became one of the few non magic species. That required lots of knowledge and ability"

Jacob just looked remorseful. "Not hard to figure it out when you look at the how much magic each species can use."

"The magic order dropped the wolves after they refused their offering. Now that you have taken on the tradition again they may have access to it again."

"100 years of offering to the magic essence of the species will grant the species eternal magic. The wolves revolted against your offerings after 80 years."

"You have ten more years to serve me and your family is fair game. Once those ten years pass I will have access to every wolf. I can take any of one of them to fill my appetite. They won't even resist me"

Jacob got up and raised his voice. "You are a sick monster! After twenty years you have been fed enough magic to materialize finally. How long before you have a body?"

"Two weeks. Then I will take my offerings. Be glad my appetite is not filled by worship or blood like a few other essences" Jacob could hear the smirk in the voice of the essence.

"It is filled by lust and sex" Jacob groaned out.

"Yes but females are not my fancy. I prefer men and boys."

Jacob just sighed "And I gave you four of them on a silver platter"

"And they have great form and they are all untouched"

"I would have hoped their first time would not be with you"

"I shall be sure to make it enjoyable for them."

Jacob snapped back at the voice. "If you are trying to make me feel more comfortable with this arrangement don't"

"Whether you are comfortable or not you shall meet my payment requirements once I gain a body for now I require a show to satisfy me."

Jacob growled louder than he did before but asked one thing. "You want the show with toys or not?"

"I think a solo performance will suit me for now. I hope you have no reservations about a performance including the boys soon. I will require it once I gain a body." The voice was obviously trying to provoke him but it did not matter at this point.

"Even if I did would it matter?"

"Not in the slightest" the voice laughed out.

"Let's get this over with" Jacob said as he stripped naked and began to stroke his sheathe. The payment for his magic and what would soon be the magic of all wolves was to submit the species to serving a magic essence that fed off the sexual activity of men. Jacob was required to give him a show whenever he awoke but this was the first time he spoke outside of Jacob's mind. He knew the essence was getting closer to having a form and that his relationship with his sons would be in jeopardy when they found out their destiny.

His family was going to go through a very hard time. The anti-alpha movement was a set of wolves determined to destroy all alphas and they seemed to be gaining support. Jacob would be at the top of their list for bearing 2 hybrid offspring. The species rebellion was after Kilec and Luhull. They were going to recruit them to help them destroy the wolf society. The magic essence he made a contract with twenty years ago was about to awaken fully and he and his boys would be required to satisfy his sexual appetite. As he finished up his show and blew his load all over the carpet the essence growled in delight. Jacob sighed as he recovered. Their lives are about to become complicated but he missed one thing. Vincent. His powers were about to reveal themselves in ways no one would expect.
