Ema arrived at the castle and went straight to bathe. Afterwards, she went down to prepare her meal, refusing to abandon her old routine. She also restarted her physical training, as her previous body was better than this one.
The servants were bustling around, preparing things for her birthday. Ema observed everything, realizing how detail-oriented her father was.
"Alfa... We wanted to know what kind of cake you'd like," a maid said timidly.
Ema looked at the table filled with cakes of all flavors. 《 There goes my routine 》
One thing she couldn't resist was sweets; they were her weakness. She sampled each one while smiling, the maid laughing at every face she made.
《 She's not as scary as they say. She looks very cute with cream on her face! 》
"I like them all," she sighed. "But these two, and that one would be good for the entrance, and this one for the final dessert," she said, returning to her serious demeanor.
"Alright, Alfa..." she said timidly. Ema noticed the young woman's arm covered in cuts and grabbed it suddenly, startling her.
"What happened to you?" she asked.
"Emmm... I just scratched myself on the roses, Majesty..." she said nervously.
"Are you new?" she asked. The young woman nodded.
"I was called after the death of the servant Estela," she said fearfully.
"I see... What's your name?" she asked, releasing her when she felt her fear.
"Megan... Alfa."
Ema's eyes widened. Hearing her sister's name was a blow to her chest.
"Tell me the truth; those aren't rose scratches. Someone did something to you. You can tell me, I won't get ang..."
"MEGAN!" a man yelled from the kitchen. The young woman jumped and lowered her gaze. "Alfa, I apologize if she bothered you; she's new and very clumsy sometimes," he said, glancing at her.
Ema sensed her fear even more strongly. Her hands trembled.
《 This must be the cause of her marks. 》
"Not at all... She was very kind and helpful, Sir..." she looked at him questioningly.
"Victor, Alfa... The head chef."
Ema nodded, giving Megan one last look. Megan smiled slightly at her comment but watched as the man scolded her all the way back.
《 It seems this castle is full of small mice who think they're rats. 》
..
Ema continued her studies before the afternoon arrived. Her father brought in a good teacher who teaches the Alfas, one of the best in the Kingdom.
She finished exhausted, and still had her birthday party to get through, but just the thought of seeing the stupid Samanta's face made her smile.
She was resting in the forest of her garden when she began to feel her body ache. Her bones were breaking painfully. The King heard her screams and ran to her.
"Darling, calm down; you're transforming. Let it happen; it will only be a moment."
《 This hurts like hell. 》
Ema sighed, enduring it and letting it happen. There was a crashing of bones until silence and a ringing in her ears invaded her.
She looked at her body; she had huge black paws and felt warmth all around her. She looked at her father, whose eyes were wide with surprise.
"It's incredible. Your wolf is enormous, darling," he said smiling. "Wait, I'll bring you a mirror." He ran quickly to the Castle, returning instantly with a mirror.
《 Damn... I'm so strong. 》
"We're beautiful, Ema..."
《 Wow... That's new... Are you my wolf? 》
"Yes, Ema... My name is Bell."
《 What a lovely name. 》
"Go, darling... Run; you must go run. I'll be back for your party," the King said happily.
Ema touched his hand and ran off quickly, more than happy with Bell, who stuck her tongue out from running so much.
"Let's hunt something," she said enthusiastically.
"Alright... Something huge," she wagged her tail, looking at a deer in the distance.
She walked towards it stealthily, then jumped at it, cutting its neck and devouring it.
《 Calm down, Bell, you'll get indigestion, 》 she laughed.

Hours earlier
"Daughter, where were you?" she looked at her, covered in mud.
"I went out hunting, Mother, and I got carried away," she smiled.
"I see... Well, go bathe; we're going to eat at Alfa Lucas's house," she said, looking at her.
"Yes, has Dad arrived yet? Did he say anything about his mate? Has he found her?" she asked nervously.
"Girl, calm down, not yet, but you know he'll probably choose Ema, according to your father," she said nonchalantly.
Samanta smiled. 《 Impossible; she's colder than ice. 》 "I see..." She sighed sadly.
"Don't worry, darling; don't think about that. You'll find your mate soon too, I know it, but not like that, so go bathe, go, go," she said, making her go upstairs.
《 Oh, Mother, if only you knew that the Alfa will be mine. 》
Samanta bathed, scrubbing her hands thoroughly, wanting to remove any trace of Ema's scent. She burned the clothes in the patio after that and went in to eat with her parents, so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
..
She woke up full of energy, went down to have breakfast, and gave her parents a kiss, surprising them.
"Did you sleep well, darling?" her father asked.
"Better than ever, Dad. Today is a beautiful day," she sighed, smiling.
"I'm glad, darling, because tonight we have a party. Will you come with us?" he asked.
"Yes, of course. Whose is it?" she said, grabbing her tea.
"Alfa Ema's; she's turning 16."
Samanta's cup fell from her hand, breaking into pieces. Her body tensed upon hearing that.
"Oh... Darling, be more careful," her mother said, ordering it to be cleaned while looking at her pale face. "Darling... Are you alright?"
《 Impossible... No, she can't be alive. 》
"Yes... I just felt dizzy; it must be nerves about my transformation," she said nervously at their gazes.
《 It can't be. What do I do now? 》
"Well... Eat something and breathe; take it easy."
《 Shit, shit, shit, if she says anything, I'm dead. 》
Samanta was lost in her nervous thoughts, not hearing what her father was saying, only nodding.
《 I have to make sure she doesn't talk... After all, no one takes her seriously. 》
..
Rumors spread like smoke throughout Ema's kingdom, burning the body of the servant at the entrance to the kingdom. Everyone was surprised, as that was something they never expected from her. Many felt fear, others just laughed disbelievingly, and others didn't even pay attention, as they would continue to bother her.
Samanta didn't believe it, only thinking about how to silence her, and she would take advantage of the party to make her look ridiculous.
