Alpha's Challenge Novels & Stories

"Who even gets what's left of me after the battle? Will you then fight yourselves? Genesis will find you easy targets once half of you are dead!" "A Challenge than!" Shouted Alpha Lee, my head snapped towards him so fast I was surprised I did not get whiplash. His handsome face was split in a grin as he walked forward, others moving out of his way, when he was about fifteen feet away, he stopped and met my irritated stare with a smirk of his own. "A challenge. Each Alpha who wants the right to mate you enters into a challenge, last man standing-"

he said. Chuffed with his confidence, Megan said, "she hasn't said what the other challenges will be, though." There were five stages to an alpha challenge; provide for the pack, be able to live alone from the pack, protecting the pack, supporting the pack and, at last, fighting the pack. The head omega would decide exactly what form these challenges took but some of them were more rigid than the others. Providing usually took form of a hunting exercise, and the last stage was always fighting the existing Alpha to submission.

“Many of you know me, but for those that don’t, I am Alpha Eli, and this is my pack. I have been informed by my Beta, Carlos, that some of you may think that you would be better Alphas than I am. Beta Carlos will be scheduling Alpha challenges starting the day after tomorrow. Anyone who wishes to challenge me, get with your Beta and he will set it up.” I’m intentionally calling Carlos my Beta over and over. It seems that some have forgotten who and what he is to this pack, and I plan to remind them. “What if we defeat you?” Someone asks from the back. “As with any Alpha challenge, the winner becomes Alpha of the pack.” “Will it be a battle of submission or death?” Another person shouts out.

I asked, heart hammering. “You need to see this,” she gasped, grabbing my arm and pulling me toward the ridge. From there, I could see the entire pack gathered, faces drawn tight with tension. Kael stood at the center, rigid as a stone, muscles coiled like a spring ready to snap. Across the clearing, a large shape emerged—another Alpha, tall, broad, commanding. His gaze swept over our pack with a challenge that froze the blood in my veins. “They’re invoking the old ways,” the Omega whispered. “An Alpha’s Challenge… it’s been centuries.”

Damn, I was hoping to bask in the good vibes a little longer. “Before I can officially declare Amelia your Alpha, per law I must ask, is there anyone here who wishes to challenge my daughter for the title of Alpha?” his face is calm, but his voice is like a stone; he knows he has to do this, but he’s not happy. I take a slow breath and brace myself. “I, Beta Declan Mathers of the Invictus Pack, challenge Amelia Dolivo for the title of Alpha!” comes a voice from the crowd and my head snaps to it.

I snapped out of my trance as Anna’s taunting voice echoed through. James should put a leash on his whores…. “Bring it on bitch,” I said, smirking when she was left speechless. “Goddess, Alpha said that you should try to be nice…” “I don’t do nice honey.. all of us can see that she’s openly challenging me here..” I uttered coldly, cutting off Lewis who was trying to intervene. A crowd had started to gather around so that they could watch some drama. If werewolves were not supposed to live in secrecy, they would have taken out their phones to take videos and post online.

“You were marked by an Alpha.” Understanding clicks in my head, “So if he challenges your claim on me…” Bastien nods, “challenging an Alpha is challenging an Alpha – it doesn’t matter the motive. If he and I were to truly fight – no Beta’s or back up, no interfering little mates trying to be noble” he teases, reminding me of their last fight, in which I nearly got myself killed. “– the winner would claim the loser’s pack.” “Then,” I think aloud, “It’s a good thing I didn’t tell you, because you would have been forced to meet his challenge and then you’d have been stuck with the Eros pack.”

My guard was up and all my senses heightened. “She just left.” It was Ian’s voice. Nymeria? That’s an odd name, I’ve never heard that before. Who is that? I looked at the table in front of us and found a bottle of wine and three wine glasses. A third person was here. “The Alphas are ready!” The host abrupt yell brought me out of my thoughts. I focused on the fight about to happen before me. The Alpha challenge was a big deal for Alphas. It was a way to show superiority among themselves. The final Alpha that comes out victorious, was going to be the chairman of the Alpha council. A post that gave Alphas power over other Alphas.

Guess he was just bad at showing emotions, like he’d said before. He cleared his throat. “Today’s the grand finale of the summit. There’s going to be an Alpha Challenge.” “Alpha Challenge,” I repeated, not as a question, but a statement. It’s a werewolf thing. There's a task like race or something else between Alphas to establish dominance. And of course, Alphas are too proud to lose. They take it like their lives depend on it. Well… maybe not their lives, but definitely their pride. “It’s a race,” he added, casual like it didn’t matter.

Then nothing. The Void had taken form. It roared. Everyone drew their weapons. Ava turned to them. "Hold the shadows. Keep them away from the Nexus. I need to reach it and finish the seal." Darius nodded once. "We'll keep them off you." Rhian activated a barrier rune, encasing herself in golden light. "I'll hold the south bridge." Kaelin unsheathed his blades. "North is mine." Ashton stepped beside Ava, pulling his cloak off, revealing the full markings across his chest—the Alpha runes passed down his bloodline, now glowing bright silver. "You're not doing this alone."
