PETER’S P. O. V.
I arrived at Blood Moon Pack about an hour before sunrise. I have my warriors with me. I know that Shawn and Victor are coming, but I know this should remain a spectator sport not an all out war. I am ready for whatever Benson throws at me. I see his wolves start to gather some in fur and some in skin. Some look curious and some just look bored. Maybe they are under the impression that I am just the same as Benson. I will correct that today.
As the rays of the sun come up over the horizon I see Benson come into view. Victor and Shawn have also arrived behind me. Benson can see that I have support that I am afraid to say it doesn’t look like he has. I can see his Beta behind him, however he doesn’t look thrilled to be here. It looks like he knows that his place is being challenged as well. Like I wont keep him on after I take down his Alpha.
“I am surprised that you actually showed up.” Benson glares down at me. Cocky ass-wipe.
“I challenged you, didn’t I? Why wouldn’t I be here to make good on my word? I always keep my word.”
“Fine, have it your way.” He comes down to stand in front of me.
“Let’s get this over with. Benson, I challenge you to the position of Alpha of Blood Moon.”
“I accept Peter. We will fight in our fur. Last man standing as per law.”
“Last man standing.” I nod in agreement. I turn to remove my shirt then I can hear bones cracking behind me. I have a split second to respond. As I turn back around I shift. I am barely in my fur when he lunges. Quickly I bat him down with my massive paw. My wolf is at least a foot longer than his. When I bat at his jaw he slides sideways. He is quick. I will give him that. He lunges at me again. Teeth are chomping. I send my head into his chest to push him back. Benson lands on his side. I take the chance to overtake him. Now I am on top of him. I gnash my teeth at his side. He claws at my side trying to push me back but I am not letting up. I clamp my teeth down and lock on. I start shaking him back and forth as I rip his skin. Now he sees what danger he is in and starts to pull away. I see an opening on his neck and let go of his side to clamp down on his neck. The last sound from Benson is a whimper as I shake the last breath from his body.
I release Benson and turn back to my warriors. I glare at all the wolves around me. They need to understand that I am in charge now and I will take down any of them if they challenge me.
One of my warriors passed me some shorts. I take them in my jaws and run to a nearby tree to change behind. I know it really isn’t a big deal for them all to see me naked, after all we are werewolves and that is part of the deal, but I don’t want people looking at my junk, that honor belongs to Olivia and no one else. I shift and slip the shorts on. I come around the tree to see at least a hundred eyes staring at me. I look at Benson’s Beta, I think his name is Hugo. “Hugo is it?”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“Do you have any intentions of challenging my position?”
“No Alpha. I am proud to call you Alpha. I have not been proud to call Benson Alpha for quite some time.” I can sense the truth in it.
“Good. Hugo, I want you to link all the wolves of Blood Moon and tell them to come here now to pledge their allegiance. Any who don’t want to pledge can switch to another pack if they wish or they can leave. They will not be tracked if they leave in peace.”
“As you wish Alpha.”
Victor comes up to me. “That was quicker than I thought.”
“Yeah, Benson was really weak. I am glad I got him out of the way. I didn’t really want to kill him but it was necessary.”
“I can get a bead on these wolves but it looks like they were ready for someone to take over from Benson. I don’t think you are going to get a whole lot of resistance from them. I am going to head back to the hospital and check on Olivia. I also want to see if I can link the trackers and see if they have any information.”
“Alright I will check in with you later. I will work out here as soon as possible and I will have Hugo bring you the list of wolves and their skills.” I turn away from Victor knowing that he is set to leave. “Hugo, have you contacted the pack?”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“Good be prepared to take notes. I need to know all the pack members: name, age and rank as well as their level of fighting skill. Since I know nothing of this pack I will need it from every wolf, including you. I plan to keep you on if you need more training we will get it done.”
“Thank you Alpha. I will serve you proudly.”
“Peter please. I hate titles. I know we have to use it sometimes but now is not it. We are going to be working too closely together to be so formal.”
“Alright Peter.” Hugo smiles, finally he has an Alpha that he likes. I can tell we are going to get along just fine.
