Greece 500 AD

Although it is not a full moon, Lycaón's village is being attacked by the clan's enemies. There are several fires within the property, including the olive groves.

Soldiers loyal to King Elian and the First Pack face their enemies, who are none other than those from beyond the kingdom of Persia, a clan that claims the name of the First Pack in addition to proclaiming themselves as the true lycanthropic monarchs.

Kaveh, is the name of Lycaon's enemy, cunning, intelligent, bloodthirsty, and he was the one who commanded the attack on the Lycaon, he was behind the head of Elián, the "self-appointed" Lycanthrope King, he would later settle accounts with Cyrus the hunting prince and with Dario the murderous prince.

Taking advantage of the fact that none of the three are in the town, the attack is carried out, which never imagined that Janus, the wife of Cyrus and Elora, wife of Elián and queen of the lycanthropes, will bravely defend the town. Despite her advanced pregnancy, Elora did not stop fighting hand to hand, being a Spartan she knew how to handle the sword and shield very well, not to mention the way she commanded her warriors.

Elián's blonde wife and his eldest son Calix fought shoulder to shoulder, an enemy brandishes his sword against Calix who was fighting two opponents, he does not realize that he will be beaten treacherously, the maternal instinct is more present in being pregnant, She is the one who stops the blow, the opponent is taller and more robust, but she is strong and agile. The enemy hits her in the face, which makes her stagger, even almost losing consciousness, he doesn't care, he knows that she is his enemy, he takes advantage of her disorientation to abuse her, with a lifeless look, but with his mind. Lucid, she searches her belt, finds a dagger, holds it tightly in her right hand. She pretends to be fainted and with a quick movement passes the blade across her throat. She had to close her eyes and mouth to avoid swallowing enemy blood.

_With my shield or on it -she spits on the corpse and wipes his face, making sure that her son is well enough for her to continue fighting- _Are you okay son?

_Yes, mother, and from what I can see you too.

_I am your father's wife for a reason, go with the others, I will go find your sisters.

_Yes, mom, mom, please take care of yourself and Denes.

Mother and son separate, each on their own facing formidable opponents, Elora arrives at the shelter of Denes, her five-year-old son, upon seeing his mother, the little boy goes out to look for her and without hesitation carries him in his arms. Realizing that Denes is in perfect condition, she places him well on her back, gives him the order to hold on to her, takes a breath of air, grips the sword tightly, with the right and the shield with the left, leaves. from the shelter, he must leave the town, the town and save his children.

With great difficulty, he leaves the village some distance away and thanks to his night vision and the wolf's hearing, he finds the rest of his children Calix, Briseis and Cristel, thank the gods that all four of them are safe.

_Mother, you must go with my brothers, I will return to defend what remains of our home.

_You can't, you are the oldest, if you die your father will never forgive me.

_I am the crown prince, I must help my people.

_You help him being safe, you must obey, help your people from the scraps.

_ But mother.
