Chapter 127: A Lesson with Him
“I see. Prince Leonard, you’re an Ultimate Alpha, right?” I asked to make sure that I understood correctly.
“The king, and the three princes of this kingdom are all Ultimate Alphas,” he replied matter-of-factly.
“What exactly is an Ultimate Alpha?” I inquired.
“An Ultimate Alpha is a man who possesses a very strong wolf. Madame Sand probably told you the legend already. Even I have no idea if that legend was even true but what seems to be true is that my kind has been around for a very long time and just like other species that roam this earth, this specie has evolved to survive. To many people’s disappointment, the werewolf didn’t evolve to become more wolf but more human instead,” he explained.
“More human?” I repeated curiously.
“That’s right. As time went by, werewolves lost both their number and also most of their wolf-like abilities. They were hunted because they were feared by humans and that greatly reduced their numbers. On top of that, nature thought that it would be better for the breed to become more human for the werewolf to live peacefully mixed in with human society. The vast majority of werewolves or their descendants that exist today possess almost no wolf traits at all. They may have a better sense of smell, better fitness, or something that makes them slightly more superior than the average human but that is all...” the prince continued to explain.
I found everything so hard to believe but exciting at the same time. I wasn’t sure why, but I didn’t doubt a word that the prince was telling me.
“So, they are pretty much like humans?” I asked.
“Yes. In the present day, most werewolves don’t even know that they have some wolf genes in them. They just think that they are humans and I think that it is better for them that way. As time went by, more and more werewolves live mixed in with human society and they ended up mating and having offspring with humans. Naturally, this diluted the wolf traits until most don’t have or don’t show any wolf-like traits at all,” he said before peering into my face to judge my reaction.
