*VENUS's POV*
His body reacted so fast that I didn't see his elbow going straight to my chest.
My body shook in pain and I felt the tear-jerking pain in my ribs. Though it was a good thing that he blasted away to the other end of the stage, it was ridiculous how he could still stand straight even after being hit at a critical point.
He shifts back in human form.
I cursed under my breath, "I knew I should've hidden a knife..."
My knees bent all the way down as he swung his feet towards me, the air inside me crippled as I struggled to study his movements. After numerous blows against each other, I huffed in exhaustion and so did he.
"Shift!" He growls.
"Don't need to," I grinned as I realized what his tone meant. "Oh I see, is that why you shifted back?? There's no rule saying we both have to be in wolf form to fight, right?"
He growls even louder, this time angrier.
"You're dead meat!"
His big brown wolf surfaced once again, his fangs bared towards me, he took that chance to use his body weight to overwhelm me. He even realized my movement pattern and almost caught me. Fortunately, my reflexes were still a little bit faster than him.
I don't know how long our fight went on, but when I felt the exhaustion finally restrain my movements, he quickly noticed it and fought even more complex than before.
My eyes widened as I almost got slashed by his claws. I managed to dodge down in time. As I gazed on his menacing eyes, I sharpened my claws and used that moment to inflict damage on his insides, he shifts back as he whimpers in pain.
"You're not getting me to shift." I smirked.
I won't shift since, if I do i'll have to remove the ring off my body- and if I do, we all know where that leads too.
The thought of losing wasn't a choice for me. I've never failed at a mission before, so if it comes down to desperate times like this, my recent ability to seduce would be the perfect counter-That at least, may weaken him or something.
With his blood on my hands as the medium. I slowly enchanted a spell to connect his blood to his system.
He flinched in surprise.
"Do you really want to hurt me like this?" I whispered, making my voice seductive and as discreet as it can get.
His eyes darkened, the lust in the air surrounding both of us as his guard to defend himself all started to crumble. He takes a step back, his hand on his temple.
"N..No.." He reluctantly replied as he catches his breath. "What did you do to me?"
I didn't want to prolong it enough that someone would notice from afar, so I took that golden chance to lunge at him. I pierced my claws straight to his neck, making him unable to speak if he manages to live after this.
He gags blood and quickly dies.
As expected, the panel wasn't pleased. After the match, there was complete silence, unlike the last two matches where the panel clapped in enthusiasm to welcome their new fighter. Their expression was either displease or shock- the only person different was Alpha Derek.
He was glaring at me with all his might.
Hmm? Did he notice?
"What? didn't you like how I killed your favorite competitor?" I smiled at the panel. "What a bummer, looks like you have to just stick with me then."

There wasn't much to expect. Since we're talking about Cresent Moon Pack here, the welcoming ceremony was conducted formally with only the Alpha, his subordinate, and the new members. We stand in a line while he faced us with a grim expression.
He says, "Out of all thousandths participants, I congratulate you for making it this far. Throw away any grievances, past and memories you had before. Today, you becpastsone of us! Today, you stand with Crescent Moon Pack!"
This is it. The blood pact.
