Kendric clutched Muzakka's hand which had already grabbed Lucy. He pulled his own back into his arms, giving a cold look that could make the wolf goosebumps.
"Don't touch my Mate! "
The intense pressure Kendric exerted forced Muzakka to kneel withstanding the pain on her hands. As if the man before him was the greatest controlling being, he was sure that the Demon Lord alone would not be able to be equal to him then who was he?
"Kendric let go, he's an Alpha especially he's still a teenager---"
"I don't care. So, are you also intending to become my rival?"
Muzakka tried to read the situation, seeing how possessive the man before her was for the woman, it was not clear that the woman was her Mate. But how could he be this aggressive only for that woman, was it because of her beautiful face or was there anything else?
"Well, okay, I give up. Please let go of your grip, I'm sorry to disturb your lover. If Miss already has Mate, I won't bother her because I'm a real man anyway."
Kendric is seen reading Muzakka's words, is it true that this child can be trusted? Maybe because he was still a teenager he looked nosy and played jaim or make people upset. With that in mind Kendric also released his grip.
"You okay?"
"I'm not hurt, you can calm down." Lucy said she tried to calm her wild lion who could at any time prey on her prey.
"It would be better if we came back. " Kendric blatantly intimidates Muzakka before finally taking Lucy away.
But before they actually left Muzakka came back to confront the couple with a look of admiration and high spirits. Look at how those golden eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.
"Do you really want to die?"
"Emhahaha..., this is amazing!! "
Instead of being afraid of Muzakka laughing without anyone making a joke, even Kendric and Lucy are worried about this wolf.
"You're not ruining his wits, are you?"
"I just clutched his hand, not his head, or he was crazy."
"Sister! How can you be that strong? Your aura is much larger than Master and Demon Lord, you are extremely formidable. Can I be your sister?" Said Muzakka while wagging his tail as a sign he was interested.
Seeing the power of Kendric that exceeds the creatures in general, this makes Muzakka interested in Kendric. He likes all forms of challenges and fights that can strengthen themselves.
"I think he's crazy." Kendric said and brought Lucy back. But Muzakka followed them until in front of the tent, of course this made Kendric more angry emotions.
"What do you really want?"
"Can I study with you?"
"I don't accept students."
"If sister----"
"Hurry to die!"
"Aah! I'm getting touched. It also adds to my soul to idolize you higher and higher. Do I have to be strong first and then you'll teach--- (silence)"
Kendric snapped a finger and Muzakka disappeared in front of them, going somewhere. Lucy looks surprised by the action of Kendric who originally played just like that, let alone he is an Alpha.
"What are you doing to him?"
"I hung it on a tree."
"What-what"
"Good, Alpha!! How can you hang up there?!" The sound of the Chieftain's cry made a horrendous crowd. Lucy doesn't have to ask anymore because this is a sure---the bad guy is Kendric.
But the perpetrator actually smiled happily with his actions. "Are you hungry? I was hunting deer."
"But what about Alpha--"
"Just leave the baby, there are many Werewolves who will take care of it." Kendric takes Lucy back to enter their tent.
Tableware is available on the table, dinner menu this time is the catch of the hunt Kendric who had gone for a moment to get out. But when he wanted to return, Kendric actually saw his woman was seduced.
"Kendric, don't be so hard on that Alpha. He's excited because he's the only wolf in the youngest Moonlight Pack during the Alpha job."
"You do see him as a child, but he is still a man, especially his figure is an Alpha. Shouldn't I be more vigilant?"
Lucy likes to see Kendric being this jealous. He will look like a cat who does not want to play if not in elus dear first.
"You've seen, Muzakka doesn't bother me too much, he's only interested in you."
"That's the same thing. I don't like anyone close to you. If it's like this, I'm getting a little reluctant to leave you even for a little while."
How he who is jealous is really very adorable, it feels like Lucy is getting more and more in love. Heaven is on his side.

The day just passed, already 3 days they were on guard and looking for information from each other. Thankfully, kidnapping was minimal. But so much attention is no longer about the movement of the enemy, but the attitude of Alpha who always follow Kendric everywhere.
It's amazing, his admiration for the figure of Kendric makes him a role model to be strong. Lucy was just wondering how the young Alpha could be as big as it was admiring Kendric. Well, Lucy admitted if indeed Kendric is a strong and handsome man, surely no one can ignore the level of his greatness. Moreover, this man is his Mate.
Lucy also now feels calm with the existence of Muzakka, because for now her attitude is not so excited as the beginning of the meeting. Perhaps because he also constantly received threats from Kendric--if Muzakka tried to get close to Lucy, even though it was just discussing the children's rescue plan for 2 more days.
In short, Muzakka was a student of the Werewolf legend sage. He can become an Alpha thanks to the upbringing of Elder Albert, since childhood Muzakka always idolized a great figure! and his dream to be strong was not to be arrogant.
Rather, he needed to become strong in order to protect the Werewolves. Such is the information that Lucy gets from Elder Albert who sometimes likes to be tired with his amateur determination.
He is also a good kid and loves to play with kids. That's why when they found out that Werewolf's kids were kidnapped. Muzakka took the initiative as Alpha to go down directly.
You need to know every Wolf that becomes an Alpha. They can maintain their primal state, where they will show the human and half-wolf sides, thus distinguishing the Alpha from the Werewolf. So do not be surprised if the ears on his head are very funny moves or a wagging tail.
"Sister, do you want to fight wrestling in our Pack training camp?"
"I've told you how many times. I'm not your brother!" Kendric tried to avoid Muzakka, he even moved Muzakka with teleportation magic to the middle of the forest. But like a puppy looking for an employer, Muzakka will come back to Kendric.
If it wasn't for Lucy's request not to be too rude to treat him, he would have been sent to the afterlife. His enthusiastic attitude was similar to Robert's right hand who had always admired his majesty as well.
What would happen if the two creatures became one as people on his side? Uhh! Kendric is already goosebumps. But at least he knew that Muzakka was not a figure who weakly affected Vasilisaa's charm so that he could calm down a little.
lucy who was sitting together with the Werewolf residents to enjoy a lunch meal-hustle rushed to her Mate hoping she could get rid of this creature. The young women who were aware of the arrival of Kendric and Muzakka chose to resign.
"Monna, can you share this with the kids?" Lucy gives some fresh fruit to one of the young women who is quite close to Lucy.
"Good Princess."
"Wait, can I have one Apple it--"
"No! It's for the kids. If Alpha is hungry, go to the kitchen or ask Beta Zasha." Monna said very softly.
"You're so cold, I'm an Alpha." Cibir Muzakka but not in Monna's hut, the woman just walks away at Lucy's request.
"Alpha can eat from this plate, I've peeled it for you."
"Daughter, you are the best. Take-take--"
"Don't touch!" Muzakka became silent as a silly man as Kendric became protective of the apple cut Lucy peeled off.
"You'll peel yourself." Kendric throws two apples at Muzakka.
"So, you're so jealous. Though the Princess allowed---"
"You want me to finish it now?"
"No."
Kendric sighed, "I doubt your figure as an Alpha, are you too much of a kid?"
"No, don't misunderstand me! I'm a proud disciple of Elder Albert. He has always praised my prowess-(not actually ) "The Muzakka rally with pride.
Somehow Lucy got used to her narcissistic demeanor, because Elder Albert complained more about her than praised her.
"Stop quarreling. And for Alpha-----"
"Your daughter doesn't need to be so formal, you can call me by the name of Muzakka."
"No. I still need you, it would be a pity if you died young just because I called your first name." Lucy glanced tensely when she realized Kendric's gaze was actually seen condemning Muzakka's innocence, but the one in the face was not sensitive.
"If I don't understand why I'm going to die, but. You can call me Alpha only, Princess "
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Seeing Muzakka's annoying behavior, Kendric had to glance at the cynics or even he was committed to cursing him. Lucy can only hope that Muzakka can still lead the Werewolf until tomorrow safely.
"Well, I wanted to ask you about two days ago, didn't Alpha go to rescue the kidnapped children. As for that, I haven't received any reports from you and how did it go?"
Hearing that Muzakka attitude instantly changed 180°. He looks silent as if remembering yesterday's events, Lucy looks confused by Muzakka's spirited change to calm down. What happened during the rescue?
"I'm really sorry, Princess." Muzakka muttered with a disappointed look.
"I went to the north side of the forest, one of the enemy headquarters was there. When I managed to infiltrate, there were more than 80 children put in a tube or forcefully injected by Miasma fluid. And as the liquid entered their bodies-the children the boy turned into a wolf monster that lost its mind."
Muzakka was visibly angry at the enemy and saw how he gripped his knee. "They are so cruel and so uncivilized! King Harlie has gone completely insane."
"Then, did you manage to save the rest of those who were still locked up? "
Muzakka grew quiet and just looked down. Lucy and Kendric glanced at each other then looked back at Muzakka who turned out to be holding the guilt with a sad look lamenting his stupidity.
"--- they're all dead." Kendric and Lucy stop their eating. Muzakka was acting strangely. He lowered his head, clearly visible at this moment his body trembled small as if eager to shout out his regret.
"Those kids-they all died at my hands, Princess." Lucy was surprised to hear that.
"When I tried to destroy the holding cell. Suddenly King Harlie appeared and somehow with what power he planted the same kind of poison seed into the Children. As a result they all turned into uncontrollable-attacking wolves and killed my army. As the army becomes increasingly critical, I must take the cowardly decision to kill all the children affected by the miasma curse." Muzakka was devastated by his actions.
Lucy did not expect that behind her cheerfulness and her spirit attitude there was such a weak side to this. No wonder he wanted to be strong.
"I took foolish action by eliminating them. That's why in the afternoon two hearts ago, I wanted to see the Princess for punishment! But I'm instead making a mess-Sorry has made you feel uncomfortable Princess." Muzakka lowered his head until he touched the table.
"No. All you did was make the right decision, "Kendric glanced at Muzakka who was sitting next to him. "Killing those wolf cubs, is the right choice."
Muzakka looked devastated at what Kendric said. "How could you think that?!! We could have saved----"
"Curtain! You're too excited Alpha. In what way can you save them? A creature that had been contaminated with miasma poison would never be able to be healed again, the curse would hunt down their consciousness and would only implant the word kill in his mind. So, killing them is a good option to save them."
"But I can't let my people get killed, doesn't that mean I'm a useless Alpha?"
Kendric sighed, "this is why I doubt a boy like you to be an Alpha. You think bringing them back to the Pack won't add to their suffering? Do you think they can be normal?"
"Kendric----"
"Listen Muzakka, being the ruler is not just about sympathy. Saving doesn't have to make him survive, there are times when killing can also save someone."
"Didn't seeing them alive become insane would add to their suffering? His presence will also be very reluctant to the population because their lives are also threatened. What's that way, you still hope they survive with the Miasma curse on her body?" Kendric continued, realizing Muzakka that his decision was not wrong.
