Chapter 0019

Terry

A mixture of anticipation and pride coursed through me as I stood among the cheering crowd, watching the Warrior tryouts from an elevated platform. This year, my pack, the Black Fang, sponsored the event, a testament to our growing influence and power. My father had passed on the honor of attending in his place, as I would soon take over as Alpha. Despite the responsibility weighing heavily on my shoulders, I couldn't help but feel a thrill at the sight of the fierce battles unfolding before me.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Terry," a familiar voice called out from behind me. I turned, and there was Alex, the Alpha Heir of the Blood Rose Pack. My blood ran cold; his presence was unexpected and unwelcome. It was the first time his pack had entered the tournament, which was surprising considering their reputation for ruthlessness.

"Have you given up being an Alpha Heir and finally acknowledged that you would be a worthless Alpha?" I taunted, my voice dripping with disdain.
