Its Time To Duel Novels & Stories

Eirak's eyes watched and waited, his back still against the wall. Finally, Kaelin spoke, his voice deep and rumbling. "I accept," he said, his eyes locked onto Thane's. Thrain nodded, his sword still at the ready. "I accept," he said, his voice firm. Eirak pushed off from the wall, his eyes watchful and alert. "I accept," he said, his voice soft. Thane nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Very well," he said, his voice firm. "The duel will take place at dawn, in the central clearing. May the best warrior win."

“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.

It's the job of the seconds to make all of the arrangements in advance, including where the duel will be held, how long the duel would last, and what conditions will end the duel, like if the duel will be a fight to the death or the fight would go on until the first blood is drawn. According to the duel law, as soon as the duel date is set, Justin and I can no longer communicate with each other until after the duel, no matter what the situation may be. Whatever message he might want to communicate with me must be sent through his own seconds to mine who would, in turn, relate the message to me I realize someone must have notified Alpha Nate of our arrival when I see his Beta already waiting

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.

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!"

In the event that I lose the duel, I have resolved to petition the councils to become my mate. Because there would be a lot of people watching and they would see how honest I am, I figured they might think about helping me be with my partner. I still distinctly recall the arena where the combat would take place, as well as the location being prepared for any eventuality. Even though the duel was supposed to last only one day, I couldn't help but wonder if I would ever have time to relax.

I retorted. The rules state that the opening duel is to entertain the audience and also motivate them and the duel has to end with one of us giving up or in the worst case, death. From the way my opponent snarled in response to my words, I sensed she wouldn’t hesitate to snap my neck just to prove her point. Way to poke the bear, Aurelia… “Time to focus on surviving, Relia.” Inara cautioned me, pumping her strength into my veins. I felt my senses becoming sharper and my breathing became steady just as the bell rang, announcing the commencement of the duel.

Finally, he was complimenting her. "Thank you. Now can I move to archery?" She asked hopefully. "No, the duel is in three days and it would be a battle of strength and endurance not skills." Lara's face fell. She had heard a lot about endurance to last her a long time. Hopefully, she'll be able to win the duel. The worst part was it would be taking place in the capital. There's a ring specially prepared for duels like this. Brad had taken her to get a view of what it looked like. It looked like a place where someone could die and no one would be able to save the person.

The new day was the only day left we had to play around and do all sorts, as the duel would officially start the next day and last for three days. I woke up to a memo which was sent to the mobile phone I had with me, stating how the duel was scheduled. I stared at it for a few minutes before getting up to wash up. I walked into the living room after I got dressed only to see Ash sitting on one of the couches. "Shit!" I swore as I got startled by his presence.

Andrea explained. "Incident? What incident?" my ears perked up at the mention of a mysterious incident. "Owen and Nolan got into a huge fight. They both got hurt so badly that they were hospitalized. They hadn't gotten their wolf then so they couldn't heal. Nobody could forget that fight in a really long time. Surprisingly, Audrey wasn't there to stop them that day. She was the only one who could always get through to them. After that day, Nolan moved to our pack permanently and they never saw eye to eye ever again till this day. They became sworn enemies," Audrey continued.
