"Forgiveness is reserved for those who repent for their mistakes. It is not a charity; if you want it, you must earn it. Don't beg for it like a loser"

Centuries ago, there was no time zone and the universe was shrouded in dense fog. Only Gods and their servers existed, and they ruled over all of heaven.

The realm-like earth was mostly covered in dense forests and vegetation. In this type of environment, the dense forest became home to a variety of mysterious creatures who hid themselves in caves for thousands of years.

One of them was a werewolf.

Serena, the Moon Goddess, first created a werewolf who was too frail to transform. She named him Ares; he was the first werewolf, could only shift during full moons, and endured excruciating pain for the next fifteen days.

He lacked the strength to carry himself properly, let alone fight a war against the powerful vampires attempting to conquer the entire realm of the Moon Goddess in Heaven.

It was impossible.

The Goddess tried again, creating another werewolf named Arles, and while the outcome was slightly better, she was still dissatisfied. She now owned two worthless werewolves.

One night, the disappointed Goddess wandered through a dense forest on Earth. She was lost in thought as her two wolves followed her. She had no idea when she entered the most dangerous section of the woods in a daze.

Her train of thought was interrupted by a growling sound emanating from an ancient cave.

"Who are you? And how dare you enter my territory! Answer me...or I'll eat your wolves and sick your powers ...enough to transformed you into a human and then eat you. I have been hungry for a century, so do not try my patience,"

The voice threatened her with authority, and the dynamic energy emanating from the cave indicated that the creature was engulfed in power, possibly greater than 'Zeus' and all the other Gods combined.

Serena immediately knelt on the ground, and the wolves followed suit. Her eyes shone with hope as she introduced herself to the creature.

"Oh! Lord, my name is Serena, and I am known as The Moon Goddess. I only came into being a few centuries ago. I am still immature and fragile in comparison to other gods in Heaven," she said firmly, her tears threatening to spill.

"My Lord-and-and, *sob A powerful God from Hell wanted to disgrace me. He wants to turn me into his property. I will fight for my dignity until my last breath, but the wolves I created are insufficient to defend me and my kingdom. Please help me, My Lord...*sob," she stammered as she explained, tears streaming down her cheek.

Her mind was clouded with concern when she was met with nothing but silence. A moment later, a burst of energy engulfed them. It looked into whether they were telling the truth or not.

The motion terrified the trio, but they maintained their composure and stood firm.

"Enter the cave," the powerful creature permitted, and they obeyed his orders. The cave emitted energy, making their presence seem insignificant.

The cave's heart housed a pond that was lit by moonlight, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Three of them walked a little further from the entrance to reach it. They were surprised to find nobody in the cave.

"My name is Aaron, and I used to guard Heaven's Gate in another dimension. I have been exiled from there for my sins. I cannot be killed, but my soul can leave my body and become a corpse. I can provide you and your wolves with sufficient power to conquer your kingdom and drive your enemy away. But I have some conditions,"

A huge WHITE TIGER emerged from a dark corner of the cave. He walked slowly towards the trio, Serena immediately knelt on the ground and submitted to his dominance. The wolves followed in their diety's footsteps, hunching down in a submission posture.

"What are the conditions, Lord? I will do my best not to let you down," Serena said with all her strength. The white tiger's aura made her feel vulnerable.

"I have three conditions...First, I will be reincarnated, and you must find a strong woman who can give birth to my soul. Second, far away in the Himalayan valleys exists a kingdom known as Amrawati. It has been ruined, but you must find the kingdom's royal descendant. There is a soul trapped inside my emerald stone. You will only find a suitable womb for this soul among the royal lineage. Find her, or things will go south without the birth of this soul," the white tiger paused for a moment to allow them to process the information. Serena's determination in her eyes prompted the white tiger to complete his statement.

"I will merge my soul with the same emerald stone. When you find a suitable tool, please use your abilities to assist me. Third, your wolves must eat everything in my body. No bone or drop of blood should be left as leftovers. Whoever eats more gains more power,"

After explaining his demands, the majestic white tiger changed into a stunningly handsome man. His black wavey long hair, blue orbs, and tall and powerful build gave him a supernatural appearance.

But his beauty could not conceal his soul's anguish. It was clear in his eyes and on his face. His waist was wrapped in a thin white cloth. He approached Serena calmly, who was taken aback by the view.

He removed the emerald stone from his neck. The stone was attached to a simple black thread shaped like a necklace. He clenched his fists around the stone while reciting a spell.

Within seconds, green smoke enveloped the trio, and before they could react, they discovered the man's lifeless body on the ground, with the stone floating in the air over the centre of the pond. The trio watched all the scenes unfold before their eyes with a flabbergasted expressions on their faces.

"What are you both doing....standing there like sculptures...just eating him up?"

Finally, Serena composed herself and encouraged them both to follow the instructions given by the white tiger.

"But is it safe? What happens if it kills us? Or is it simply a trap?" Arles expressed his suspicions. He refused to accept the fact that someone had helped them gain power out of nowhere.

"We do not have a choice...we have to take this chance....we can only gamble on this....Arles," she said, her voice both helpless and authoritative. Both wolves bowed their heads and started to eat.

They ripped the man's skin while munching on his bones and licking his blood. They cut his heart into two pieces and ate them. They then ate his intestines and other bodily organs.

Blood was leaking from the corpse, but they carefully licked it all away. Ares grew tired and lost his appetite over time.

On the other hand, Arles forced himself to eat until he could not breathe. He ate the man's brain entirely on his own. When they finished, they were both exhausted.

Finally, their hard work paid off. Within a few days, they could easily transform into wolves. Because Arles consumed more of the flesh, he had greater control over his wolf and was more powerful than Ares.

His blood cells were completely different from Ares', and his type was known as LYCAN.

With their newly formed abilities, Ares and Arles returned to the battlefield alongside the Moon Goddess, rescuing their kingdom from the clutches of a powerful vampire named Victor Lambert and putting their sworn enemy Hades on the defensive.

Centuries later...

Ares and Arles both established kingdoms and ruled over different ones. However, they were constantly preoccupied with the unfinished business of finding a suitable body to give birth to Arron's soul and mate.
