The Lycan's Luna Breeder

A Challenge

I waited for Daphne to tire herself out and leave before I went searching for Matt. He was in the training field practicing with his beta, Anton. They both stopped when they saw me approach, and the beta excused himself, leaving us to talk.

My heart drummed in my ears, but I managed to calm it. Matt was no longer mine, he had chosen my sister.

"Why would you challenge the alpha in a fight you can't win?" I demanded to know. He stared at me for a while, as if to commit every part of me to memory.

He took a step closer to me, "Because I don't want you to go with him. I want you here with me. Di, I f****d up, and I regret hurting you. If I had chosen you when I was supposed to, Alpha Kennis wouldn't have picked you." We were so close that my heart skipped a beat. However, Dove, who hated him, reminded me to keep a level head.

"Challenging him was reckless on your part. You'll die,"

"I have a plan to win," he said with a familiar smile. He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer, leaning in to whisper in my ear, "Do you want me to share it?"The bastard didn't care that we were in open grounds where anyone could see us. Vivid images of him f*****g my sister flashed in my mind, and I pushed him away from me, not wanting to be close to him.

"I don't care about your plan. Just beg Alpha Kennis for forgiveness for the challenge you issued. Even if he hadn't chosen me, I would still have left this pack,"

"I'm an alpha. I don't beg anyone, no matter who it is," Matt declared. "I'd rather you be alone for the rest of your life than with him."

Damn, stupid Alpha pride. I was frustrated with him and turned to leave. As I was walking away, I caught sight of Alpha Kennis and Louis. They had seen my interaction with Matt. Louis was grimacing, while Kennis glared at me.They didn't approach and moved in a different direction.

The pack was buzzing with anticipation. Everyone gathered in the training field in the afternoon, eager to witness the duel between two alphas. One was far more potent than the other. How was that fair?

I made my way to the field where everyone was gathered. I chose a seat in the bleachers, away from the crowd in a shadowed corner, hood over my head.

'Stop this. He's superior in every way,' I tried to reason with Matt one more time. I heard him snort in response.

'I am a strong alpha. I'll be fine. I'm challenging him for you, Di. I don't want to lose you,' his voice was soft, and I wanted to growl at him. This i***t lost me the day he slept with my sister.

'You already lost me!'

"What was our alpha thinking, challenging the ancient alpha? Alpha Kennis is dominant and merciless. He should have known better," an old woman nearby tsked.

"I heard he was doing it for his Luna's sister. Alpha Matt is so brave," a man replied proudly, a smile forming on his lips.

Matt was the first to arrive at the field, shirtless, with his father by his side. Our alpha seemed distraught, aging considerably in just a few days. Alpha Kennis strode in, majestic and commanding. The entire field fell silent, I could hear a pin drop. That was the degree of authority the lycan wielded. They reached the center of the field and faced each other.

"Are you going to let your pup do this?" Alpha Kennis asked Martin, as if Matt wasn't worth speaking to.

"Honestly, I don't know what's going on in my son's head. He's insisted on this, so I can only support him," Martin answered in a defeated tone.

"However, it's unfair that I have to fight you when you are… well, you," Matt said, taking in Alpha Kennis, who towered over him by four inches.

"What do you suggest?" Louis asked, furrowing his brows with fake interest.

"If I can hold you down for a minute, I win, and you leave this pack without Diara," Matt suggested.

"Alpha Kennis can do that, in fact, in ten seconds. However, if he wins, you will let the pretty wolf come with us without a fuss, as agreed," Louis said. Pretty wolf? Murmurs ran through the field.

They all agreed to the terms, and the fight commenced.

The two alphas circled each other, and it was Matt who threw the first punch. Alpha Kennis gauged Matt, his expression unreadable. He didn't even flinch at the hit.

Alpha Kennis moved with lightning speed, landing punches on Matt's ribcage and face. Matt's eyes widened in surprise at the force behind each blow. He retaliated with a punch and a kick, but Alpha Kennis skillfully dodged both. For someone of his size, Kennis was surprisingly swift, quicker than Matt.

Matt managed to connect a fist to Kennis's nose, and his claws extended, digging into Kennis's side and drawing blood. I felt an involuntary wince, and the mark on my neck began to itch.

The two of them leaped into the air, throwing punches at each other with brutality. The fight continued for several minutes, captivating everyone watching.

As the battle progressed, Matt's movements began to slow, his stance changed, and he was now bleeding profusely. Matt charged again, attempting to take Kennis to the ground. However, Kennis kicked him midair, and Matt landed hard on the ground, whimpering in pain. He was severely injured, covered in deep, long cuts and scrapes, while the lycan seemed unscathed.

Matt struggled to get back on his feet but staggered and faltered. He attempted his favorite move, a powerful kick aimed at Kennis's face, but Kennis anticipated it, grabbing Matt's leg. Alpha Kennis punched him, pushing him back to the ground. Before Matt could rise again, Kennis kicked him repeatedly.

The cries of Daphne were gut-wrenching. The crowd began to plead with Matt to concede, but he refused to give in. All he could do was cover his head as Kennis continued to pummel him.

"CONCEDE, ALPHA!" someone shouted.

"Please! Alpha Matt!" someone near my parents screamed.

Alpha Kennis then grabbed Matt by the neck and lifted him for everyone to see. Matt was defeated and was barely clinging to life, struggling to keep his eyes open. Kennis began to squeeze slowly, the light fading from Matt's life.

'Concede,' I whispered, and he raised his hand in the air. Alpha Kennis threw Matt to the ground instantly. His father, my parents, and Daphne rushed to help him.

Alpha Kennis slowly turned his head, his eyes finding mine in the shadows where I hid. A rogue tear streamed down my face, and he smirked cruelly.

'Don't tempt my fury again. We leave in an hour,' he said through the new bond we shared.

He walked out of the circle, with Louis following him, a satisfied expression on the beta's face. I tried to stand, but my legs were numb.

I was leaving my pack with a monster, and I could do nothing to stop it.
