Novel & Cerita It's Time To Duel

Or rather, a certain person who asked him about that certain day a month ago. “Now, since we have members of the two special spheres here, you may choose to duel with each other, or go against your teammate,” said Dean Alcione, looking at Dorin’s and Xander’s Spheres. “The rest of the class may find a partner in their level. Those who cannot find a match may approach me.” “Oh, I can’t wait to duel with that pesky Dorin! Or maybe that bastard Johan!” Venet said with a sleazy grin.

“At the end of the display of the fireworks, the duel will begin and will end only when any of you had snatched the other’s sword and kept it with you for over five minutes. I repeat, only snatching the sword from your opponent doesn’t mean you win. You need to keep it with you for five minutes after that. If your opponent takes back their sword within five minutes, the duel will continue.” “We understand,” they said together. Now let the duel begin!

“If this meeting is simply an exercise to waste my time, I have preparations awaiting me.” “Yes,” Lucien’s amusement faded as he said. “About that.” Something in his tone made my spine straighten. Dario slid a parchment across the table toward me, though he didn’t release it yet. “We’ve finalized the date of your duel.” The room seemed to sharpen around the edges. “And?” I asked carefully. “It will take place on the night of the ball.” Lucien smiled. For a moment, I thought I’d misheard him. Then the words settled.

I checked my phone to find 5 am, an hour or so before I was going to see the sun. It was a weekend so there was nothing to stress for anyways. As I checked my phone, I found a text from Damian. ‘The duel will commence the day after the school year ends.’ That was only a week and a day from now. I took slower breaths to calm myself down before looking at the text again. Merely a week from now, I was going to fight against that older man. A fight which was going to define my place in there and the future of Sierra and Damian's plans. I had to be careful and even more, stronger.

My wolf was frail, as expected from an abomination—He knew that. “Are you going to continue to shame me?” Alpha Trevor asked through the mind link. Hearing those words, I knew I had no choice., “I, Mabel Everly, accept your challenge.” A painful gulp ran down my throat before I declared, knowing I was accepting death but hoping to convince Alpha Trevor to stop it. “The duel will be held tomorrow at 6 p.m. in the forbidden land,” Alpha Trevor finally said, dismissing the meeting. My eyes widened. Tomorrow? Forbidden land? I had less than twenty-four hours to prepare, not that training could help me much.

Pain flashed across his face, real pain, it was like I had just handed myself to death. Serena looked pleased, too pleased and that alone made fear moved through my stomach. Then Kael stepped between us before the argument grew worse. “This is not the place.” Darius glared at him instantly. “You think this is acceptable?” “No,” Kael answered sharply. “But she made her choice.” I hated how both of them looked at me, it was like I was already breaking apart in front of them and one Alpha slammed his hand against the table loudly. “The ritual duel happens tomorrow night.”

He let go of me and walked up to the podium. “Great people of the midnight mirage pack!” he shouted as everywhere went silent. “As you all know, today is the D-day to decide the fate of this pack.” “Yes Alpha!” They all chorused. “Without wasting time, the duel will start in a few minutes.” Tristan paused and looked in my direction. I could tell that he was so concerned about my well-being. “You are allowed to use your wolf during the duel,” Tristan added. “The duel can start now!” Tristan concluded and left the podium.

The room brimmed with curiosity, awaiting the decision that would set the stage for an intense battle. Satana, standing tall and exuding an air of authority, considered the question before responding. Her voice carried a mix of determination and measured calculation. "Let us set the duel for the next full moon," she declared, her gaze sweeping across the room, encompassing all those present. The elder nodded in acknowledgment, accepting Satana's decision with a solemn expression. "In six months time,"Satana said. "And by that time each participant should have a mate, '' Satana added as his words echoed through the room, a hush fell over the pack members. His additional condition added a new

I nodded, but before I could explain, Trent’s voice cut through the air. "Ah, there you are!" Trent grinned, his eyes alight. He came over and clapped Matt on the shoulder before looking at me. "The duel between Oren and David is about to kick off! Duke's saved you a prime seat." I glanced at Matt and nodded. The three of us walked together. I didn’t know if that was on purpose, but soon, I saw Duke and the empty seat beside me. Trent turned and nudged Matt further down the way past the Blood Moon tent. I sat beside Duke, and he took my hand.

But I used every possible energy and self-control I had so as not to react to what he said. “But how in the world did he know about this?” I thought. “And I want it to happen on the night of the Supermoon when our powers are at their peak”. He concluded. For some reason, as soon as he stopped talking, I just wanted to stand up and slap the taste out of his mouth, but I could not do anything. He had just challenged me to a duel, and if I declined, it would be as good as selling out my new pack members. Clearing my throat, I proceeded to give a reply to his request for a duel.
