Novel & Cerita It's Time To Duel

Showing up at her house like that is a no no so I would have to see her at the academy, one way or another. "Take it easy son, when you feel a bit at ease you can come down. The duels are about to begin, the moon is almost at its highest peak", he said as I remembered the battles that will be happening. When the moon is at its highest peak pack members challenge each other. It was just a way to showcase each other's strength and it wasn't intended to harm anyone. "I'll be there soon", I replied as he nod and touched my shoulder before walking out.

He curtly bows his head, a smile on his face. I return the gesture. And shift my attention back to Gerald, who yields after Noah had him in a headlock. “Fuck!” Gerald growled as Noah stood up, turning to Xavier. “You are next” He points to Xavier as I raise my eyebrows turning to Joshua. “I thought you it was a duel” “It was but now it is the last man standing,” Taylor says over my shoulder “Or woman in this case since you and Becky are also part of it” It doesn’t take Xavier long before pinning Noah, who was distracted by a blackwood woman, as Lucius shakes his head.

"This ends tonight, Augustus." He chuckled, the sound echoing through the clearing. "It's just beginning, Nate." As the moon took its place in the night sky, the pack's anticipation reached a fever pitch. The time for words had passed; the duel would speak for itself. "Let the duel commence!" declared one of the pack's elders, her voice carrying authority. Augustus lunged forward, and I met his aggression with calculated precision. Our clashes echoed through the clearing, the sounds of growls and grunts reverberating in the night air.

“If you want to know what she truly is, then don’t make her play-act in a ring, make her fight.” “You can’t…..” Milo started. “I can,” I said. “And I will. A duel! The Red wolf vs Silver wolf. One on one. No council elders falling asleep in the bleachers. No toxins, no tricks this time. Just blood and will.” Storm’s laugh, low and unpleasant, threaded through the rafters. “You want to duel an omega?” “You want to watch me break the myth?” I replied. “Make it worth watching.” Kael stood rigid beside the ring, the angle of his shoulder like a drawn spear.

“I have no doubt. You’ve always had the touch of the goddess when it comes to rebuilding.” They chatted for a while. Luther was one of the wolves just like Dorian who had migrated from their pack to the city to start something new. As they continued to speak, Luther said, “There’s to be a Moon Rite Festival at the end of the year. The Alpha of Darkmoon himself extended the invitation. It would be an honor to have you there.” Dorian’s face remained unreadable. "Oh, that's a great one.” Dorian faked a smile. “I appreciate it, but I’ll have to decline. My main focus right now is the restaurant, but I promise to send my best wishes to the Alpha.”

He didn’t join Gamma Axel and I this morning for the morning run and I’ve been curious as to why. “Over here Willow.” “Took you long enough!” I murmur under my breath as I run over to meet him. I’ve been waiting for him to summon me for the past several minutes just so I can get close to Alpha Killian who is standing by his side. I was a bit disappointed when he didn’t show up for the morning run, so it makes me happy to see him here right now. I hope he doesn’t leave soon. “You’re going to have your first duel today, Willow.” Gamma Axel announces and my eyes pop wide open in shock.

"How about I spread rumours among the servants and townsfolk about a supposed truce between Duke Dane and Sir Simon. This might make people believe the duel has been cancelled." "You fool! The duel is by dawn. We don't have a lot of time left."

He pushed at my shoulders, the consistent movement pushing the drowsiness off me. I tried to sit up, but my head felt like it was filled with lead. My tongue was thick, and my throat was parched. "What... what time is it?" I croaked. "It’s nearly dusk, Kael! You’ve been out for twelve fucking hours," Drew shouted, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me. Twelve hours? That’s…how did it take that long? "The duel starts in less than thirty minutes. Silas and the elders are already at the field. The entire pack is waiting. They think you’ve tucked tail and run!"

I mumbled in a low voice, "When is the duel scheduled?" Luke answered me with a hint of excitement in his voice, "At 8 pm sharp." Noticing my unrest, he waved his hand in the air, "Don't worry, Delilah. We all know that Xander is going to win." I wish I could tell him that that's not what I was worried about. But it was useless to talk to them on this matter. Xee and Luke excused themselves to look over the so-called preparations for tonight. That left me and Adeline behind.

Jared snickered. "A mere beta? Challenge my son? That's a bigger slap on my face, only the alpha of a pack is qualified to duel with them." Jared insisted. My heart fell and I could tell that Father was at a loss toe words then. "What happened Luna? Scared?" Jared taunted. "You wish!" I spat out venomously. "You wouldn't be that brave when you're defeated, the duel is in two weeks time, I'll be back with my son Caleb, you better find an alpha by then else you'll have to agree to all my needs and I might just want something more by then." Jared announced.
