Every person in this world has a defining moment in their life. A flick switched within their being and pushing them into another dimension of possibilities. Every person has a dream, an ambition, and aspirations to live a better life, to be as happy as they possibly can. Every person is ready to sacrifice a little bit of themselves for this happiness. Every person is ready to do just about anything to feel a glimpse of it. The question is: how dangerous a person can be if they are denied this happiness?

He was sitting across the chair, legs dangling on one armchair while his head hung from between his shoulders on the other one. He was looking up and playing with his golden crown. Boredom seemed to be his main mood that evening and Yoongi hoped it wouldn't affect his judgment on his matter. Amala peaked from behind him, seeing Alexander for the first time in years. All the gold and decorations had reminded her of her gifts and she blushed the whole way, fortunately, Yoongi hadn't noticed.

"Lion king, we are here to seek your wisdom on a pack matter in the old world." Yoongi started and was met with a bored grunt from Alexander who hadn't spared them a glance just yet. "My name is Min Yoongi..."

"I know the Min's, they rule the great territory of the white moon pack." The lion finally looked over, although he interrupted Yoongi.

The alpha nodded his head in a low bow and attempted to continue his explanation but Alexander beat him to it yet again.

"Min Yoongi is the next head alpha, correct?" He asked.

"No, I was going to be and was trained for it but I'm not interested in ruling so I left the coven and lived normally," Yoongi answered truthfully.

Alexander sat up with a smirk, with both feet finally meeting the ground. He looked at Yoongi intently with one raised eyebrow. He man-spread his legs and put one arm on the armchair, supporting his chin in a pensive-looking way.

"This is Amala, my omega." Yoongi presented, pushing Amala to the side. "We are both from the white moon pack and we are here because there is a breach of wolf law happening as we speak." Yoongi explained at last the purpose of their travels.

"I know you," Alexander said, pointing his finger at Amala and ignoring Yoongi for a minute, Amala was about to answer when he turned to Yoongi again. "Finally, something more important than a sheep being stolen... Elaborate." He ordered.

"My father, the head alpha of our pack, died almost two weeks ago. The next successor, my sibling, is too young to rule, in which case we call on a council and they rule until my sibling is ready to be an elder. However, the second in command of the now-retired elder pack wants to be the one to rule over us. I pointed out that it was against the law and he decided to shun me and my pack. I left my pack behind to fight him off in case he comes to get us out and we are here to seek your help, you are the king after all." Yoongi enlightened, as he was told.

Alexander seemed to be in deep thought. He stayed silent for a long while, looking at Yoongi and Amala in turn. After studying them as he pleased, he sighed and got up approaching them both carefully.

"I remember you now Amala. You were at that pack back in the day..." He said with a smile on his face and his thumb on her chin, lifting her gaze to his. "I see you got everything you ever wanted."

"Almost my king, I'm almost there." She answered smiling back at him.

"When it comes to territory, the old world still follows the old traditions right? If the white moon pack is without proper leadership and two potential head alphas are fighting over a piece of land, they should do a dual." Alexander stated. "You shall fight and I shall travel to see it."
