Chapter 4: The Lupine MenaceWhile XCO was recovering from the battle against the hunters, a new and sinister threat emerged from the shadows of the forests. The Suzeranz, an ancient lineage of werewolves, rose like a feared specter, challenging not only the vampires but also the alpha brothers themselves: Sirc and Brenoko. The Suzeranz werewolves, with their sharp fangs and glowing yellow eyes, posed a threat colossal for the already fragile peace between supernatural beings. Meanwhile, Sirc and Brenoko, powerful alphas, maintained an aura of mystery and strength, both wearing hoods that hid their faces. Ekkel, now at the height of his influence in XCO, found himself faced with a dilemma. The alliance between vampires and werewolves was unthinkable, but the imminent threat of the Suzeranz and the impenetrable presence of Sirc and Brenoko demanded action. Murmurs of a possible impending war echoed through the cold walls of the vampire community. Ekkel, determined to maintain his newfound power, called an emergency council among the leaders of XCO, seeking a defense plan against the Suzeranz and the unknown represented by Sirc and Brenoko. As the night thickened with growing tension, the Brenoko and Sirc's enigmatic presence hung like a shadow over the intertwined destinies of vampires and werewolves. The man with the mysterious hood remained an enigma, his influence an invisible chessboard that would shape the course of the coming battle. The impending war between these supernatural factions threatened to shatter the fragile peace between creatures of the night, leaving Ekkel and XCO at a dangerous crossroads, where the alliances would be tested and hidden secrets would be revealed.
