Chapter 34 - The Secret Life Of Alphie! (3)

In only 30 minutes, Alpheus has become the new de facto leader of the dog daycare pack. All the bigger dogs were bowing at him, admitting his strength and alpha-ness.

'Ah, feels like at home,' Alpheus thought. In his home, he was worshipped and feared at the same time, and nobody dared to question his authority. Though, that was mostly because they were scared of his status as a legendary beast or whatsoever.

Alpheus' presence in the Moonlight Castle gave pressure to everyone, so there was never a rebellion or someone challenging the royal family's authority.

But his presence proved to be too much for the people to handle. That was why his parents decided to put him in a forest to train as a warrior and the future king. Since he was a werewolf with a deep connection with nature, Alpheus adapted to the harsh life of the forest very quickly.

'But being worshipped is always fun! Hehe~' 

Boss Husky looked at Alpheus, who trod around with his majestic gait in that small body, and asked, "My prince… are you… really a prince?"

"I am! I came from a faraway land because of a conflict, but I am saved by a very kind-hearted high-ranked mage, Sir Junshik Hyung!"

"Oh! You are also with a human then!" 

"Someone as strong as you come with a human as well?! That's amazing!" Bronx, the bull terrier said, and the other dogs looked excited as well.

"Of course! Sir Junshik Hyung is an amazing man! He is definitely the alpha male of other mages!" Alpheus was hyping Sir Junshik Hyung, thinking how admirable and strong he was. 

"My mom too! She is busy with work, but she always gives me a treat if I don't make a mess!"

"Yes! My master also works, but he is in the police force! He must have been busy catching criminals!"

Alpheus heard everyone starting to tell the stories about their masters, but Alpheus was convinced that he had the best master, 'Because I bet nobody has ever drink their master's white stuff! Alphie drinks that a lot and wants more! Arf!'

"Arf! Arf! Arf!"

"Woof! Woof!"

Cha Eunjung walked in with a box of treats for the dogs and chuckled when she heard the dogs were barking at each other excitedly, "What are they talking about anyway? Flowers and bees?"

"Alright, guys, treat's here!"

The dogs' eyes darted towards Cha Eunjung instantly and surrounded her excitedly. 

"Treats! Treats! Treats! Treats!"

Alpheus wondered what they were doing because all the dogs looked so excited after Cha Eunjung came with that box. 

Cha Eunjung opened the box and gave one dog a treat each as long as they stayed calm, "Okay! Sit down before I give you the treat!"

The dogs obediently sat down and waited for their treat. Cha Eunjung walked one by one to give them until it was Alpheus who hadn't gotten his treat because he didn't walk up to Cha Eunjung and sat down obediently.

He just didn't understand why would the other dogs do that without his command. In his world, if those dogs dared to take command other than from their leader, they would get punished or executed. 

Cha Eunjung chuckled and took a treat for Alpheus. He picked Alphie up and then gave him one treat.

Alpheus smelled the treat and ate it carefully. Of course, it tasted good, but it wasn't really the tastiest food on the planet. It definitely didn't rival the cooked steak by Sir Junshik Hyung. 

Cha Eunjung seemed to realize that the black Pomeranian was unwilling, "Oh? Alpheus, you don't like the treat?"

"Arf?"

"You don't know treats?"

Alpheus only tilted his head left and right in response. Eunjung smiled and ruffled Alpheus' hair, "Treats are food given when you're doing a good job. When you're obedient or did something that your master requested. You guys are doing well, not fighting while I'm not here. That's why I give you all a treat!"

'Ohhh! So that's what treat is!' Alpheus finally understood the term. But then got another question that he wanted to ask, but he needed to hold it until Sir Junshik Hyung arrived. 'Is that white sticky white thing I drank last night also a treat? How can I get more treats? Can I get an even bigger treat?'

Alpheus was excited by the idea of treats! He really liked Sir Junshik Hyung… as SUPER MEGA BEST FRIEND, of course. And he would be even happier if Sir Junshik Hyung gave him a treat!

Cha Eunjung saw how the black Pomeranian's eyes shone brightly as if he actually understood what Eunjung just said, "Well, dogs are intelligent, maybe Alpheus really understand what I'm talking about."

Cha Eunjung put Alpheus down to the grassy field and said to all the dogs, "Remember, be good, don't bully the small one!"

"Woof!"

"Heheh, I'm such a good dog caretaker."

The dogs agreed in unison. Little did Cha Eunjung know that all the other dogs had been conquered by His Highness Crown Prince Alpheus Wolve Rytnic. 

The dogs then surrounded Alpheus and asked, "My prince, do you often get treats from your master?"

"Watch how you address me. I am no one's servant! I am Alpheus Wolve Rytnic, the Crown Prince of Eclipse Kingdom! Sir Junshik Hyung and I have been bonded as SUPER MEGA BEST FRIEND! We're best friends for life!"

The dogs looked at each other. They didn't expect that a dog could be a human's best friend. They always thought that humans were their masters or parents.

"I will ask Sir Junshik Hyung about treats! I bet he will give me lots of treats as long as I'm obedient!"

Boss Husky looked at the rest of the packs, and they were all thinking the same thing, "My prince, why don't you do something to get the treat?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Sir Junshik Hyung always told me to be obedient and not noisy!"

"Then you can show your submissiveness towards him! Maybe you should start with… offering your butt!"
