Chosen By The Moon



I reacted as quickly as I could, however one of his hands managed to swipe my shoulder, his claws prated my skin leaving blood to slowly drip out of the scratch he had made.

It was a truly sad day when you look your own parent in the eye and can't recognize the man he used to be.

"Right..." I whispered to myself, already knowing my actions before I spoke the words. I wiped the small cut on my arm with the palm of my opposite hand, and let my eyes darken before meeting my fathers, my voice came out strong and unwavering as I uttered my statement. "I alpha Adrian Stone, in witness of the goddess Luna herself, challenge you Alpha Stone for your pack and title!" Without missing a beat I clawed my own palm and let the blood drop at my dads feet solidifying the challenge and making it indissoluble.

"You... Challenge me?" He laughed again, while I simply stood staring at him in anger.

A challenge wasn't something to be taken lightly, it was a rare occurrence, and no one had heard of one taking place since the new world began 5 years ago. Also in accordance to our laws, an alpha challenge was a fight that guaranteed death to one of the participants.

"I have followed you and looked up to you for my entire life. Your word was law, but somehow in the past 5 years, you have forgotten that the new world was supposed to free us from our secrecy, and instead you used your position for abuse and corruption. I know now, that you are NOT the alpha we need when the new world crumples." My dads beta didn't say anything for a few minutes as he stared at my stance. He knew the weight that my actions would cause, but I knew, that I had to get my dad away from being in charge, or everything queen Dylan was doing would be fore nothing.

There was absolutely no going back now.

"Adrian, this isn't a game. If you two fight for the alpha position, then one of you will die by the others hands." Steve was attempting to be the voice of reason, however due to my actions, the challenge had already been set.

"That's what I intend."

I didn't waste another minute of arguing as I allowed my body to morph into that of my wolf form. My large brown Lycan stared at my father as i snarled viscously, dying in wait for him to also shift.

"Fine... but you brought this on yourself, pup." Him calling me that only cemented my actions, making me want to rip him to shreds more and more as every second passed.

I watched as he too shifted where he

stood, the human district becoming an area filled with growls and snarls. I couldn't help but let my mind

wander over to my poor mother

who was about to either lose her mate, or her son, whichever one of us, would perish, she would have to live knowing that that we had done this to each other.

'I'm sorry mom!' I quickly mind linked the lady who gave birth to me, before focusing on the wolf in front of me. This was it.

We slowly began circling each other, the space between us prominent and steady as we eyed each other up. I wasn't an idiot, I knew the first move had to be done by my father, and so I patiently waited, readying myself for the attack that was now imminent.

Freddie, who had some how managed to run back to Nicks old house, now clung to his guardians arm on the front door step, as they both watched on in shock.

My father took my distraction as a chance to charge, and without hesitation, he did so. His jaw widened in order to land a devastating blow onto my body, and his target was my neck.

I growled loudly, causing an echo to soar through the sky, as I dodged his first attack, jumping around and swiping his side with my claws as he shot passed my body.
