The night was quiet and after dropping everyone off, Ara drove home alone.
The city lights reflected against the windshield of her black car.
Normally, she enjoyed driving cuz it helped clear her thoughts.
But tonight was different,her mind was full of questions.
Questions about Hyun-Woo, the Shadow Covenant and about Jae-Min also.
Especially Jae-Min.
The image of him holding her hand during training replayed in her mind.
Without realizing it— She smiled,then quickly frowned her face again.
"...What's wrong with me? vampire and werewolf are not meant to be together, so stop dreaming Kim Ara."
She pressed the accelerator and headed toward the place she called home.
After some hours ______
Far from the crowded parts of Seoul stood a massive estate hidden behind ancient walls. The crimson Estate.
To humans that place didn't exist but to vampires It was sacred place to enter.
The headquarters of the Crimson Bloodline the strongest vampire family in the world. Fear by all the other vampires race in the world.
Its influence stretched across continents.
Kings feared them,Governments secretly negotiated with them so they won't be hurt and Even supernatural organizations avoided provoking them.
At the center of the estate stood an enormous mansion.
Elegant,Beautiful and terrifying.
This was where Kim Ara was born.
Eighteen Years Earlier the night Ara was born—
The moon turned crimson and a rare phenomenon that as not be seen for many years.
Ancient vampire elders gathered from around the world and inside the mansion, a baby girl opened her eyes.
And immediately she did____
Every candle in the room extinguished itself and Silence filled the chamber.
One elder whispered: "Royal blood..."
Another trembled. "The purest bloodline in centuries."
Her father stood proudly beside the bed touching her soft skin
The strongest and powerful Vampire King in the world. *Kim Seong-Ho.*
The strongest vampire alive and perhaps the most feared being in the supernatural world.
He looked down at his daughter again and smiled.
"My little princess. welcome to the world and to the crimson family."
Ara grew up differently from normal children.
While human girls learned mathematics, English,music,sports etc.
Ara learned combat, how to handle Politics issues,Ancient history and Supernatural law.
Every day was training and preparation.
Because one day she would inherit the Crimson Bloodline and become one of the most powerful vampires in existence and the first lady to rule over the entire vampires race in the world.
But unlike her father—
Ara hated being cruelty, unnecessary violence and she hated seeing people suffer also.
Even as a child—she questioned many things.
When Ara was ten years old she entered a forbidden room a room she wasn't supposed to to enter.
Inside were ancient documents,Maps,Old photographs,Records of supernatural wars.
And one name appeared repeatedly which surprise her.
The White Pack then she remembered asking her father.
"Why are there so many files about the white pack dad?"
His expression immediately changed.
Cold,Dangerous, and Silent.
Then he answered her.
"They're enemies and remember princess never makes friends with any werewolf cuz they are evil."
Then young Kim Ara respond _
"Okay dad."
Years later—
Ara accidentally overheard a conversation.
Her father was speaking with several high-ranking vampires and the door wasn't fully closed so she listened to the conversation.
"...the White Pack has fallen all Alpha resistance is broken but the True Alpha was not found. what's now the purpose of our attack!" he shouted.
Ara frowned."True Alpha? What was that?"
One vampire spoke nervously.
"What if that child survived?"
Everybody was Silence.
Then her father's voice echoed through the room.
Cold and Merciless.
"If he survived we'll find him and finish what we started."
Ara felt a chill run down her spine and that was the first time she became afraid of her father.
As years passed the questions multiplied about the True Alpha.
Why were ancient vampire leaders obsessed with the True Alpha?
Why did her father keep searching? why were secret meetings becoming more frequent than usual.why were powerful vampires arriving from other countries something that's has not happened for years base on the history she was told.
And why did everyone suddenly stop talking whenever she entered the room Something was happening Something huge and they don't want her to know maybe because she was young maybe that's why.
She can't figure out the reason.
After many years of staying in the mansion and many of her home teachers didn't last long before they stop coming to come and teach her again.
Eventually Ara convinced her parents to allow her to live a normal life outside the mansion at least temporarily if they won't allow her forever.
That's how she entered Haneul High.
At first when she started it was boring to her humans,classes,homework nothing was interesting to her.
Then after some weeks everything changed a transfer student arrived.
Kang Jae-Min.
The moment she saw him Something felt wrong in her mind not dangerous but Familiar like destiny itself had entered the classroom.
She sensed a wolf immediately But not just any wolf Something older, deeper and Something that made her instincts react and ever since then she couldn't stop thinking about him.
But what Ara didn't know was that her father already knew who Jae-Min was long before she met him even before she enter Haneul high school.
A secret chamber existed beneath the crimson mansion.A chamber nobody except the highest-ranking vampires could enter.
Inside that chamber thousands of files filled the walls and at the center stood a single photograph a photograph of a young boy:Black hair,Golden eyes, he was around the age fifteen and the name written beneath the photograph his ( Kang Jae-Min.)
and across the photograph were written the words: POSSIBLE TRUE ALPHA And OBSERVATION CONTINUES
After the silence drive she enter the crimson estate Big gate and go straight to her parking place. Then Ara entered the mansion quietly.
The servants bowed She barely noticed them cuz her thoughts remained elsewhere.
As she walked past her father's office She stopped.
She heard Voices of people and a thought ran her mind.
Were they having meeting Again.
The door was slightly open and she move more Closer to the door to hear their conversation but she heard something that froze her completely.
"...the True Alpha has resurfaced."
Everybody in the room was shocked and the room become deadly Silence.
Then another voice asked:
"Are you certain about this?"
Kim Seong-Ho replied calmly.
"I've never been more certain than this before and I'm very sure his the one."
Ara's heartbeat quickened.
Again.
The True Alpha same name, same mystery the same secret everyone kept hiding from her.
And for the first time She decided she would uncover the truth herself even if it meant going against her own family she going to found out the truth.
As Ara quietly stepped away from the office she failed to notice a file sitting on her father's desk. A file that had accidentally been left open and on the first page of the file was a photograph of Kang Jae-Min with a single sentence written beneath it:
"Last Known Survivor of the White Pack and possible TRUE ALPHA.
