After just one crazy stunt from Akela, the Wind Wolf became so powerful.

'Damn, is this my cue to also start my own crazy stunt?'

Legolas could not help but think as he recalled how epic Akela and Conan's battle was, the moment kept on playing in his head for the past 2 days.

And for the past 2 days, though he wanted very much to meet his wolf, after becoming the new Alpha, there were a lot of things that needed Akela's attention.

Instantly after the outcome of the Vrka Yuddha became evident, all the wolves bowed in submission to the new Alpha Wolf of the Steep Hills.

For the rest of that day, the joyous howls of the wolves kept on reverberating through the Steep Hills as the wolves celebrated their victory and the heralding of a new era to all wolves of the Steep Hills.

They didn't know if Akela was going to be a better ruler than Conan, but one thing was sure, and that was that the tyrant Conan was no longer their alpha.

Amid the celebrations, inside his new cave and throne, Nymeria and the other 18 Grade D wolves stood before their new alpha and addressed him.

Of course, the emphasis was for Akela to get an Alpha Female.

In the history of the wolves, there had never been an Alpha who didn't have an Alpha Female. Once this topic was brought up, Akela was tongue-tied and stunned but a certain wolf made everything easier for him.

"I know that the Alpha is tired after the intense Vrka Yuddha".

"If he is willing, I am ready to liberate him from most of his troubles and help him usher the wolves of the Steep Hills into a new prosperous era".

"If he is willing, I will become his mate".

"…"

Legolas who listened in through his telepathic connection with his beast coughed blood, he was amazed at the boldness of this Wolf.

He didn't have to think long before he advised his wolf though.

A Light Wolf with healing abilities was invaluable to him.

He gave Akela his sagely advise. 'Nymeria is a beautiful and vigorous Wolf, she will make a good companion to you to help you fulfill your dreams'.

'She will bear you handsome pubs…'

'If master wills it, I accept'. Akela was as humble and compliant as ever.

With a serious look on his white face, Akela looked at the white wolf that also looked back at him. "I accept you as my Alpha Female".

That day, it was double celebration for the wolves of the Steep Hills.

For the next 2 days, Akela while organizing the wolves also appointed positions to all 18 Grade D Wolves under his command. Of course, he gave the positions that were closest to him to Bone and the 3 Rogue brothers.

After this, he finally left his territory with his wife to meet his master.

Standing before Legolas, Akela forfeited all the pride that came with his new status as he bowed his head and lowered his tail in submission.

Seeing his behavior, though stunned, Nymeria also reciprocated.

"Master, I hope I have made you proud".

Legolas smiled as he walked closer to the Wind Wolf and rubbed its fur, he whispered into his ears. "You have done beyond making me proud, 18 Grade D Wolves? You have exceeded all my expectations for you".

"Roar!"

Predator roared as he brutishly marched towards the Grade D Wind Wolf before bashing him with his snout, he sniffed Nymeria before turning away.

This was Predator's brutish way of congratulating his bro for his achievement. Wolves were beasts but at the Grade D realm, apart from developing intelligence, they also developed emotions.

As Predator walked away, Akela's eyes turned watery.

"Thank you, bro".

"Without you, I never thought I'll become a Grade D Wolf in this lifetime".

Predator simply grunted in reply, implying that Akela shouldn't mention. Legolas wanted to whip the Nightmare beast's head so bad, though he'll never admit it, Legolas knew that Predator felt flattered at being thanked.

From on top Legolas's shoulders, Bran croaked as he also congratulated his big brother for the feat that he achieved.

Legolas already trained his contracted beasts to see each other as brothers, and they saw Brutus and Leo as brothers too.

Leo also congratulated Akela for his feat.

Christensen grumbled. "When will you become a Wolf Champion yourself?"

Smack!

Legolas wacked his student on the head. "Don't ruin the atmosphere".

By now, Nymeria already understood what happened. As a Grade D Wolf, she knew about humans and contracted beasts already, she turned to look at her husband with a complicated look at her face.

Akela looked back at her with a slight apologizing expression on his wolf face. The next moment, he turned back to look at his master.

"Master, meet my Alpha Female, Nymeria".

Legolas went closer and rubbed her fur affectionately, Nymeria allowed it as Legolas smiled. "She'll make a good companion for you".

Then he glared at Akela. "Make sure you take care of her".

"I will". Akela grinned.

Legolas finally got ready to leave the beast plane.

"Master, whenever you need me, ask, I'll be there".

Legolas smiled at his beast's parting words. For some reason, he felt like a proud dad, the feeling of seeing your child grow up felt so satisfying.

As they were about to leave, Christensen coughed.

"Umm…, master, don't you think it's time you find a woman of your own?"

Smack!

"Ouch…"
