Chapter 9

Alpha Aeron stepped into the human world for the first time, his eyes wide with astonishment. Unlike the ice and snow of his Arctic kingdom, he found himself surrounded by towering buildings, bustling streets, and a cacophony of unfamiliar sounds. It was a stark contrast to everything he had known.

His gaze shifted to the humans around him, their clothing and hairstyles strikingly different from his own. Aeron's long dreadlocks, which had been a symbol of power and majesty in his kingdom, seemed out of place amidst their neatly styled hair. But what surprised him the most was their reaction to his presence.

As he walked through the crowd, he noticed that instead of showing fear or reverence, they looked at him with mockery, disgust, or amusement. Their laughter echoed in his ears, piercing his pride and igniting a fire within him.

Just then, a man approached him, the smirk on his face evident. "Lost your way from the studio, buddy?" he jeered, his tone dripping with condescension.

Aeron's anger flared within him, and without hesitation, he grabbed the human by the neck, his strength evident as he effortlessly lifted him off the ground. "Do not dare mock me, insignificant creature," he growled, his voice dripping with dominance.

The human gasped for air, struggling against Aeron's grip. Panic filled his eyes as he pleaded for release, unable to comprehend the power before him. But Aeron's rage blindfolded him, clouding his judgment.

With a forceful motion, he flung the human away, watching as he crashed hard onto the ground. The impact rendered him unconscious, leaving a commotion in his wake.

The commotion caused by this sudden act of aggression sent shockwaves through the crowd, and people started scrambling away in fear. Aeron's eyes blazed as he seized another person nearby, his grip firm as he demanded, "Where is Myra?"

The person, trembling with fear, stammered, "I... I don't know who Myra is!" Aeron's frustration intensified, fueling his actions as he flung the human aside like a ragdoll. The sound of the impact reverberated through the deserted street.

As chaos ensued and the street emptied, Aeron surveyed the scene with a sense of satisfaction. His violent actions had driven the humans away, granting him a moment of respite. He nodded to himself, a silent acknowledgment of his dominance in this unfamiliar world. "now, this is more like it."

The quietness of the surroundings was suddenly shattered by the blaring sound of a siren, jolting him from his thoughts. His instincts kicked in, and he immediately assumed a defensive stance, ready for a fight. He was certain that these were rogues who had tracked him down, and he was prepared to face them head-on.

The officers emerged from their cars, weapons drawn, their expressions hardened with what they believed would be a routine capture. Little did they know, they were facing a force beyond their comprehension.

"This is the police! Stand down!" a voice blared from the megaphone."

The look on his face made it clear that he wasn't ready to stand down so without warning, the cops launched an attack on him, their bullets raining down upon him. But to their surprise, the bullets did no harm, bouncing off his skin like mere pebbles. He stood tall, unaffected by their futile attempts to subdue him. With a swift and powerful blow, he rendered their cars immobile, turning their once formidable machines into nothing more than scrap metal. As the officers attempted to apprehend him, he effortlessly flung them aside, tossing them around like insignificant insects.

However, in the midst of his triumph, an unfamiliar sensation coursed through his body—a sharp shock that caught him off guard. Electricity surged within him, his muscles involuntarily convulsing. Aeron fought against it, battling to maintain control, but wave after wave of electric shocks overwhelmed him.

The shocking force became too much for even Aeron to withstand. Fighting against the overwhelming surge, his body finally succumbed. Darkness enveloped his vision as he lost consciousness, his towering presence now reduced to a motionless figure in the midst of the chaos he had created.

As Alpha Aeron regained consciousness, his eyes snapped open, taking in his restrained surroundings. The reality of his predicament hit him like a punch to the gut. Bound by heavy restraints, his powers rendered ineffective by the technology of his captors, he was at their mercy.

A sneering officer approached him, clearly enjoying his victory. "Thought you were invincible, huh? We've got you now," he taunted, relishing in his triumph.

With a defiant stare, Aeron hissed, "You underestimate me." He tensed his muscles, testing the strength of the restraints, searching for any weakness. Hope flickered, but the odds seemed insurmountable.

Mocking laughter filled the room as the officers, confident in their control, scoffed at his defiance. "Save your energy, freak. You're not going anywhere," one of them jeered.

Determination burned within Aeron's core. He knew breaking free was possible, but he also knew they still possessed whatever they had used to incapacitate him. Patience became his ally as he silently waited, observing their interactions, biding his time.

When the officers finally departed, their smugness replaced by complacency, Aeron seized the opportunity. He summoned his powers, channeling his breath onto the restraints. Ice began to form, slowly encasing the bonds that held him captive. With a surge of strength, he shattered the icy prison around his wrists.

Utilizing his mastery of invisibility, Aeron cloaked himself, blending seamlessly into the shadows. With swift and purposeful movements, he navigated through the facility, avoiding the watchful eyes of the officers who remained oblivious to his escape.

As he ventured into the night, an unsettling realization dawned upon him. Escaping in his current state would undoubtedly make him a wanted fugitive. He needed to change his appearance, to become unrecognizable.

Waiting until darkness provided him with the perfect camouflage, Aeron stealthily approached a nearby clothing store. Through the glass window, he spotted a rack of clothes on display. Without hesitation, he swiftly shattered the glass and deftly grabbed a set of clothes that caught his attention.

In the cover of darkness, Aeron found a secluded alleyway where he stripped off his distinctive attire. With nimble precision, he cut his long dreadlocks, severing his connection to his past identity. The sound of the scissors, despite his efforts to be quiet, echoed through the night, a reminder of the sacrifice he was making.
