And just returned from the frontier, gloomy and vicious, self-made from the mud and blood, the strongest Alpha fiancé who can scare all interstellar children to tears, Chen E.

Zhuang Yan: …

Alphas all have half-beast forms, and Chen E is a swan. He is disabled, and most of the right wing is made of metal skeleton and feathers.

Quanxing.com felt that Chen E would break off the engagement with Zhuang Yan sooner or later.

Two years ago, Zhuang Yan said foolishly that this Alpha, Chen E, no matter how high he climbed, he was nothing more than a cripple.

Later, a photo circulated in the home of the heavily guarded major general:

The fair and beautiful Omega lay in Chen E’s arms, kissing his injured wings obediently and sweetly.

- Description from novelbuddy

This is the tale of the time when mighty dragons and legendary phoenixes ruled the world. Under the shadow of such powerful beings, the feeble humans lived lives worse than slaves.

1560 BC, Jerusalem

The darker-than-ink night sky was torn asunder by the tongues of purple lightning. The nocturnal macabre was augmented even further by a priestess that was busy performing a forbidden ceremony. Around her were six innocent kids that watched the priestess in silence as she performed her ritual with a ceremonial bowl in front of her. A drop of blood could be seen, making its presence known inside it.

The priestess was unperturbed by the earsplitting noises of the incessant lightning outside her abode as she chanted the spell in old Hebrew. The ritual was complete when she placed the drop of crimson blood on the tip of her tongue and gulped it down with her eyes closed.

“Heed my prophecy, my little ones. From today onwards, you shall walk on the path of greatness that will make you the rulers of this world.

Here, drink this to your heart's content and unleash the power that is bestowed upon you.”

She cut her two wrists and filled the bowl to the brim with her blood by cutting her wrists. The lightning noises could be heard even louder than before at this time.

The children obliged and drank the merlot drink one by one. But the macabre of the night was increased even further when the children started shape-shifting. One turned into a vampire, while the other changed into a werewolf. There was a witch among the children now. And being turned into a chimera and an elf were the fates of the other two.

The children changed into something else before turning back to humans again. This was the phenomenon that happened with five children.

But the sixth child remained human. Why did he not shape-shift?
