His Forbidden Luna 7 The duel

She was a feminine beauty to behold, the perfect Luna material.

She was slim and elegant, tough and ferocious like the warrior she was.

Their eyes clashed and locked, surprise and admiration flickered through her beige brown eyes but he felt nothing. Not pain, not regret, not love, nothing except a burning thirst for revenge.

His gaze shifted to her new mate who stood tall and proud in the middle of the duelling ground.

The audacity...

He strode leisurely to them, seeming not to notice the bows and trembling that followed as he passed through the gathered people.

"Alpha Aurelius, I'm sure you know the price of what you've just done." He said threateningly as a form of greeting once he got to them.

Alpha Aurelius smirked, golden curls fluttering behind his head. He was the ladies man.

"I won't beat around the bush, Lorenzo. I'm here to take over your pack."

Lorenzo's brows went up.

"I have my warriors surrounding your borders already and at my signal, they are ready to rage down your little pack. I want you down, Lorenzo. You've always been so high and mighty and treading on everyone around you, not even your own pack members are spared. So I'm going to get justice for everyone and bring you down, to lick my heels." Alpha Aurelius let out a sardonic laugh.

"I'll take everything from you. I already have your most treasured possession" He grabbed his mate by the waist, "What's the rest to you? Shouldn't your life be meaningless by now?"

Lorenzo's eyes turned a bottomless black, making everyone around him shiver.

"You dare threaten me in my territory, Aurelius, didn't your mother teach you not to bite the hands that feeds you?"

Lorenzo's meaning was clear. Alpha Aurelius would not be where he was today, or any other Alpha for that matter if Lorenzo had not paved the way for them. All their resources and materials were gotten from deals Lorenzo had made plus Aurelius' most prized possession, his mate, was stolen from him.

Lorenzo thought Aurelius nothing more than a disobedient child.

Aurelius' eyes darkened and his limbs trembled in suppressed anger.

"I, Alpha Aurelius of the Twilight pack challenge you, Alpha Lorenzo of the Silvermoon pack to a death duel." Aurelius bellowed.

Loud gasps filled the arena. If it had been an internal feud, it would have been easy for some to rebel against Alpha Lorenzo out of fear but now an outsider was introduced, the pack members were naturally loyal to their Alpha.

"Kill him!" Loud angry growls were soon barked out by the people.

"No foreigners! He killed our pack warriors, he deserves to die!"

"Kill him!"

"He deserves to die and have his heart ripped out! He must die!"

The whole arena was in an uproar, some even tried to attack Alpha Aurelius but Lorenzo raised a hand and the whole place fell silent.

"I won't accept your challenge, Aurelius because you have no right to challenge me in the first place. The only treatment you'll be getting from me is your death and the ruin of your pack."

"No way!" A new voice was introduced.

Cato and Sixtus struggled against the hefty warriors that held them down.

"Alpha Lorenzo is to battle with us but we never told him that we had a master. Alpha Aurelius is our master so therefore Alpha Lorenzo must battle with him!" They shouted with full on gusto but in the next second, the tearing of flesh and the splashing of blood followed. No one saw it happen. All they saw after their eyes blinked in confusion was Alpha Lorenzo standing in his same spot but this time with his hands covered in blood.

Everyone froze.

Alpha Aurelius himself was stiff with shock and fear. What kind of Alpha killed his own people so quick, with no mercy?

And in a second! What extraordinary powers did he possess?

While everyone tried to recover from their shock, Lorenzo suddenly began battling a strange weakness.

He had been fine all morning, why did he suddenly feel like he would collapse any second. He shook his head in an attempt to clear his dizziness. He couldn't even feel his wolf.

Alpha Aurelius who had been shaky with anxiety one second, after seeing that Alpha Lorenzo was no longer in his right state of mind, pumped out his chest again like a proud king.

"You heard them, Lorenzo. They work for me. Are you still going to try to dodge the inevitable?"

Lorenzo struggled to stand still, "I, Alpha Lorenzo of the Silvermoon pack agree to your challenge."

The whole arena erupted in confused cries but soon it changed to excited encouraging chants.

The duelling ring was cleared and the referees, head warriors of both duelling packs, took their spot.

No matter the condition, they were wolves and they couldn't deny their love for violence.

"Lorenzo." Alpha Aurelius' new mate, Alpha Lorenzo's rejected mate, Davina, tried to reach for him but her expensively decorated hand passed through air.

She grabbed unto the bordering ropes instead.

"Lorenzo, listen to me. I know you're still angry and hurt about what I did but I still care about you and love you enough to tell you not to sacrifice yourself in this way."

Lorenzo shrugged off his jacket and threw it out of the ring, leaving his upper body bare. He shook his head again, seeing two figures of Aurelius instead of one.

What was wrong? Did Cato and Sixtus suspect he was going to kill them and inject themselves with wolfsbane?

But the sickness he was feeling didn't feel like the effects of wolfsbane, he was going crazy.

He shook his head and cracked his knuckles.

Davina tried again, "Lorenzo. I know Aurelius more than you do, he's merciless. He'd definitely kill you! Please give up, Lorenzo, save your life. You can form another pack later."

Davina's eyes and voice seemed sincere but anyone could detect the selfishness in it.

Lorenzo paid her no heed but instead focused on his prey as both of them circled each other.

"Lorenzo."

Lorenzo swerved round, dodging a punch from Aurelius.

Aurelius was suddenly all over the place, there were six of him trying to kill him. Lorenzo dodged each of them skillfully, his eyes feverishly darting around.

The spectators watched in bewilderment as Lorenzo battled air. What was going on? Was he playing one of his usual tricks?

Antonio watched worriedly from the side. There was something wrong.

Aurelius smirked victoriously as he watched the slightly crazy Lorenzo. Killing him would be a piece of cake.

The crowd chanted, desperate.

Lorenzo darted around, kicking and punching. Aurelius stalked closer.

"Lorenzo!" Davina screamed as Aurelius suddenly swung a round house kick to Lorenzo's gut. Lorenzo went crashing to the ground, blood spilling out of his mouth.
