CHAPTER ONE
THE TRAINING OF THE ALPHAS
PYRO'S POV
PYRO'S POV
In a world where there is predator and prey, what would you choose to be? A predator who lives by killing others or a prey who hides in its cave to survive and protect itself?
People encounter different degrees of suffering, it depends on how you deal with it, but in my world, there is no other choice, except to fight. Be a warrior on your own. If not… you will face death.
"Faster!" Hali was dodging Colden's attack. He had a smirk on his lips while Colden was trembling in every strike he did.
"Faster, strengthen your hit! You are so weak! How would you be a king if you were shaking!" Hali used his index finger, pointing at Colden while moving it into 'come here' gesture.
I was just sitting on the above-level tree while watching them. Those are my brothers, taking their training for today.
"Pyro!" Hali put down his arnis, stomped on the soil heavily while moving closer to my location. He looked up. "Get down! I do not want to take training with Colden! It was no thrill at all! I didn't even sweat!"
I prepared myself to jump into the height. When I was in mid-air, I twisted my body so that I could fall straight on my feet, without any injury.
I stared at Hali with my cold eyes. "What fight do you want? An excessive sweat training or a bloody one?"
A smirk formed on his lips. "A bloody one."
I did not respond to his words, I grabbed the arnis instead, stuck my feet on the ground while moving it into a slightly angled side. The knees were facing the same direction as my feet. The feet and knees alignment is one of the powerful defenses, it can lessen the leakage of force and ensure a comfortable attacking position.
When my head moved aside, I viewed Colden, looking down. When his head went up, he was a spark of disappointment. "I'm sorry, Pyro."
I kept my mouth shut. When I gazed at Hali, he did an expected attack, the arnis were flying in a straight direction. It was about to hit my head, but I moved in my side, resulting in it falling into the soil. Without me hurting.
"A cheater." The voice of mine was soft, emotion did not change.
"A cheater always wins, Pyro. If you are kind in terms of the battle. They might betray you without you knowing." After his lines, he immediately ran towards me, hitting me with his arnis into a left slant movement.
I jumped three times backward. He continued to strike me with his arnis, but for me, it was a weak defense. He was doing the same rhythm of hitting. Left and right. Left and right. It was repeating all over, the opponent might memorize his tactic.
He hit me again on my right, I held his arnis. He was forcing it to pull back, but I was just holding it slightly, with no effort, no applying strength at all. He was having difficulty.
In an instant, I threw my arnis in the side and gave him a strong punch on his stomach. He groaned as the result of my strike.
"A cheater can be cheated by others, too." I watched him twisting his body.
It was not allowed to use the punch, kick, and other physical defenses during arnis rehearsal. It was like I felt more comfortable using my bare hands than the arnis. Hence, not all the time, I have a tool to use when there is a fight. I rather use the portion of my body to protect myself.
I turned my back at Hali, walking towards Colden when I heard his shout.
"You think we are done!"
When I turned around to face him again, I got a hit on my chest, resulting in me stepping backward. I touched my chest while looking at the grinning Hali.
"Good job. I am enjoying the fight." Raiden was standing beside the tree, leaning his shoulder on it while having a big smile. "Continue. Don't stare at me, Brothers."
Suddenly, Hali used his arnis again, striking me into my shoulder. I dodged immediately, jumped to move, going to his back. He did not notice my moves. In an instant, I was located on his back. I slowly stepped forward. Then, when he was about to look at me, I cornered his neck with my arms.
"Ugh!" He was gritting his teeth while pulling himself out of my arms. "You are so annoying, Fire!"
"Same as you, Water," I whispered in his ears.
"1, 2, 3…" Zephyrus was counting, raising his finger.
I never let go of Hali when Zephyrus was still counting. Hali was giving all his strength to fight back, but he could not ruin my attack that made him drown in my arms. Cornered.
"The winner is… Pyro!" Zephyrus' laugh echoed in the whole area. "Another day lost for Hali." He was shaking his head when he tapped Hali's shoulder. "Use your brain sometimes for strategies, fighting is not always attacking, it uses head. That is why we can think." He passed us by.
I pulled out my arms on Hali and threw him into the soil. "Practice to teach Colden how to fight, not how to belittle himself."
We heard the loud sound of a clap. We looked in the direction where it came from. It was our father, King Oswald with our mothers on his side. The various five ladies came from different elemental packs of werewolves.
A broad smile grew into King Oswald's lips. "I am glad to see that you, my five sons, are helping each other to be strong."
"They are not. They just love to tease each other about their weaknesses." Raiden spoke while staring at the tree where I was sitting before. "The tree is estimated to be about 63 meters." Raiden hit my abdomen with his backhand. "You are a great jumper."
I just looked at him. I did not respond to his words. It might consume my saliva with nonsense conversation.
"I want to see how my sons fight with each other." King Oswald commanded.
We had no choice, but to get our exclusive arnis. It had a trademark of Fire, Water, Ice, Lightning, and Wind.

CHAPTER TWO
BATTLE OF FIVE ELEMENTALS
PYRO'S POV
"Get ready to die!" Hali immediately attacked me.
All of our brothers, his target was me. Just because I always win over him.
I dodged in the side, climbed up the tree, and sat there comfortably. "Hali, the battle is not yet starting."
"Abide the rules," Raiden said while looking at his arnis, examining the strokes of the trademark. The written letter was Lightning.
"Get down! I will kill you!" Hali was gritting his teeth, looking up at me on the tree.
We heard the loud sound of laughter from our father. "Pyro, get down. The battle will begin."
I kept my mouth shut, prepared myself, and jumped at Hali's neck.
"The battle begins!" One of the Betas opened the war.
Exactly, I was on Hali's neck so what I did was crossed my thighs between his chest and used my arnis, hitting his back. I still had pity for my brother. I could kill him with this position.
"Ugh!" Hali did the overthrow, making me fall to the ground. He struck me with his arnis in a forceful way. I rolled to my left, raised my feet to kick him.
"Use your arnis, Ass!" He was clenching his jaw, staring at me with his burning eyes.
I just gave him a small smile when I put the arnis where I slipped when I rolled. I rotated it in my hand and pointed at him. "Come."
"Haya!" I did not notice that there was someone behind me. He kicked me strongly. I flew to the tree where my favorite location was. When I looked at him, it was Zephyrus.
"Yes! One point for me! I kicked, Pyro! Yahoo!" Zephyrus was swaying his body, raising his hand with a full smile on her lips. Suddenly, Hali threw his arnis on him, the reason why he got wounded on the cheek.
I shook my head as I stood. Zephyrus and Hali were now striking themselves with the arnis. No one wanted to be a loser, although it was always Hali because he was not thinking.
I could feel someone was behind the tree so I looked at it. My eyes viewed Colden, trembling while one eye was peeking. "Don't hurt me, Pyro. I don't want to fight."
I closed my eyes hard and pointed my arnis at him. "Face them. Father will see you."
"But I was scared."
"If you didn't come out. I will hit you with my arnis." After my words I ran towards Raiden, hit him with my arnis in a slant direction, pointing at his back. He prevented it by kicking the arnis. My tool flew a long distance.
"Get your arnis, Pyro." He commanded, a strong voice was visible.
I ran as fast as I could and flipped over in the air as I handed my arnis. In an instant, I was holding it with my straight posture, and cold emotion.
Raiden stepped on his feet like lightning. His fast was incomparable. He reached me, hit me in the left side, I defeated the attack by catching his arnis with my arnis and when I pushed it, I struck him on the hips. I got one point from that.
He was holding his hips while looking at me badly. "It would take one week to heal the blood clot."
I shook the arnis on my hand, spun it as my knee was bent. "It still heals," I said while nothing was written on my emotion.
"Can I have a request?" He stood up, threw his arnis on the side. "I am not good at using my bare bodies. Let's have a fight using just our own strength." A wide smile grew on his lips. I trusted Raiden, he was not a traitor, not like Hali. "According to Leonardo Da Vinci, science is the captain, and practice the soldiers."
He bent his knee, moved his feet into the angular attack, and clenched his fist. "For me, that means something different. Science can study our surroundings, without it any explanation of any single thing. Even the practice had laws to fulfill."
I wrinkled my forehead. I observed his facial expressions. My eyes widened when he attacked me in an instant, his flying punch landed on my face.
Got it. He is putting those words in my mind and when he gets a chance, he will fight. I could not say, it was betrayal, but a strategy, a unique method.
He was about to kick me when Zephyrus hit him on the back. He faced him, the start of their fights.
"Mother!" Colden was running as Hali was catching him. He hid on her mother's back.
"You are a coward! So annoying! Come here!" Hali had prepared arnis on his hands, glaring at Colden with a threat of death. "Fight for me!" He hit Colden into his arms. "Fight! I will not stop if you do not use your arnis! You need to be strong, Alpha King of Ice!" Another hit, over and over again.
Colden was just holding his arms covering it due to repeated strikes by Hali. "Stop, please stop!"
I stepped forward to watch them. I stopped myself from helping Colden. He needs to prove to anyone that he can be a king.
"Stop!" Colden spun his right hand one time, like a Ferris wheel rotation, and faced his palm on Hali. My eyes widened when there was an ice formation on the ground. When I looked at Hali, he was now cornered with ice with just a head exposed.
"Cold! Let me out of her! I am chilling!" Hali was pulling himself out of the ice, but he could not. It worsened instead when he used his gifted water power.
Raiden and Zephyrus were laughing as they teased Hali.
Zephyrus leaned his hands on the ice pack. "I love to see you there." He grabbed his phone and took a picture of Hali.
"You, bastard!" Hali moved and moved, but he could not do anything.
Our father was chuckling. He was enjoying watching us. "I told you. Colden is different." He walked forward to tap Colden's shoulder.
Colden was now biting his lips, looking at Hali, guilty of what he did.
"Help me…" Hali looked at me, I turned around. Then, I heard him calling Raiden. "Help me, Lightning!"
"Sorry. I can't do anything. Didn't you have knowledge that only hotness can melt the ice? It is Pyro, then." Raiden's comfortably sitting on the rock with his cross thighs.
"The problem is Pyro didn't want to cooperate." A loud sound of Zephyrus laughter could be heard.
"Pyro! Help me! I am cold!"
I was annoyed by his loud voice. I wanted peace of mind.
"Do you want your brother to be killed by freezing? Huh? How heartless you are!" He had lots to say, that was why the surrounding was noisy laughing at him.
I turned my face on him, stepped forward, and put my palm on the ice. It started to melt. The ice becomes liquid with just one tap.
Hali ran faster when he slipped away from the ice prisoner. He did not even say thank you. What a rude man.
"I will kill you, Colden!"
