Chosen By The Moon (Dylan) novel Chapter 377

I reacted as quickly as I could, however one of his hands managed to swipe my shoulder, his claws penetrated 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."
