When my brother transformed back, my mate grabbed my stepbrother by the neck and looked him in the eye. My mate asked him “You are not an alpha, are you OMEGA? You have lied to your pack and stole the pack from my mate.” My brother looked scared and said “NO! The pack is mine, given to be by the elders of the pack. Because that b***h is the reason her mom and dad are dead. She deserves to die as well, and she will be soon enough. You can’t protect her all the time and when she’s not protected, I will strike, you just won’t know when.” My mate's eyes turned purple. The color of his wolf eyes said “Don’t you dare threaten my mate. I would kill, you know, but then my mate would be scared of me. But, from the look she is giving you, she wants to be the one to kill you, and I am going to give her that chance. I’ll tell you what asshole in six months is the gathering of all the alphas and their mates. Since my mate is the heir to your so-called pack, you and her can fight it out for the alpha position in front of witnesses.” I looked at my mate scared. I was planning on challenging my stepbrother, but not so soon. I needed to train first and get stronger to find out why I couldn’t shift to my wolf. I looked at my mate, and he looked at me with love and confidence in me, something I’m not used to seeing in anyone. I turned to my stepbrother and looked at him. He had hatred in his eyes. It took all the courage I could and looked my stepbrother in his eyes and said “I Mari Maria Black, challenge Alpha John Silver stand in Alpha of the blue moon pack to a fight to the death at the Red Moon gathering in six months’ time. Do you accept my challenge?” My brother looked at me surprised. I haven’t said more than a sentence to him since he started beating and raping me. My mate looked at my stepbrother and said" YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER OR TRY TO KILL HER UNTIL THE CHALLENGE DAY! OR ELSE I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF."
