“But he insults us.”
“We’re going to put an end to this, once and for all,” said Landon. “You and me. Whoever wins becomes the alpha of both packs.”
“Are you sure about this?” I whispered. “What happens if you lose?”
“I won’t,” he answered with such an air of confidence that I could not doubt him.
“I can agree with that. What are the terms?”
“We transform into our wolf forms and fight it out. No holds barred.”
“To the death?”
“To the death,” Landon confirmed.
Gerald smirked. I didn’t like the look of it because it confirmed my suspicions that he was hiding something. What that something was, I didn’t know but it couldn’t be a good thing.
“Maybe you should reconsider.” I tried to grab Landon but he was already out of my reach.
“Would you look at that? Your own beta does not believe in you. Now that’s sad.”
“Enough talking,” snarled Landon. “I want to get this over with.” Without waiting for another second, he made the transformation. His fur glistened in the moonlight and his eyes seemed brighter than usual. Landon was a beast by every definition of the word. There was no way he was going to lose.
The opposing packs closed in and formed a circle around their two leaders.
“Roman?” Jane’s voice came through. “Where are you guys?”
“We got intercepted by the enemy,” I answered. “But don’t worry, Landon is taking care of it.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” She sounded panicked. “Roman?”
“He’s about to fight the leader.”
“Is he crazy! He’s going to get him
self killed!”
“Have faith,” I said. “He’s going to win this.”
“How can you be so sure? This guy isn’t someone who plays by the rules.”
I was about to respond but the fight had already begun. The sound of wolf fighting wolf was ten times louder than that of a thunderstorm. It was hard to gauge who had the upper hand. From what I could tell, they both seemed pretty equally matched.
“Come on, Landon, we’re counting on you,” I whispered under my breath before joining in on the chanting that had broken out on our side of the circle. “Kick this guy’s ass!”
Landon was doing well but Gerald was one hell of an opponent. He was big and bulky but, somehow, he had speed on his side as well.
Crash!
My worst nightmare came to life when Landon was thrown into the crowd. Gerald’s pack jumped on him, biting and clawing at him from all sides.
An outcry was heard from our new pack as we witnessed the act of injustice and retaliated. It was chaos from there. Men and women fought tooth and nail. Tufts of fur were yanked from flanks. Blood stained the ground a deep shade of crimson.
I barreled my way through the sea of enemies, trying to find my mating partner. “Landon!” I shouted but it did nothing. There was so much going on that it was hard to focus.
Wham!
Someone tackled into me, knocking me to the ground. All the air in my lungs was driven out of my body. While trying to catch my breath, a rabid wolf was trying to bite my face. I had to use every ounce of my strength to push him off me.
