Elijah looked at his opponents, he could feel Elders Marcus stare burn holes through the back of his head. The old man thinks he can control every wolf.
The fight started, while other packs cheered for their alphas the Blood Born pack was too nervous to speak, tension thick within them.
Elijah decided to let the alphas take themselves out, jumping in to quicken the process when necessary. Blood and sweat in a mingled mess definitely not a sight for the faint of heart.
Elder Marcus was stunned. Elijah was the fastest wolf he had ever seen in all his years on earth, with reflexes like no other he made the Shadow pull seem like a child's play.
Now the Blood Born pack seeing all hope was not lost gained confidence cheering for Elijah.
The night was full of surprises the victory chants of Raindown pack filled the air. Alpha Vernot the Alpha of Raindown pack, the pack that had ranked seventh was now one of the last two contenders.
The other to everyone's dismay the Omega Elijah.
Alpha Vernot skimmed around Elijah impressed that this Omega had made it so far. he had expected Aliyah to be the one in the ring tonight.
But this night was his pack's night. The day he will prove that the last could be the first.
He had spent years orchestrating the plan for this night.
Providing Alpha Vernof with the poison to cheat his way through the last Shadow pull, using one of the warriors from Aliyah's pack as a spy- that had been easy since thanks to her numerous scandals plus the fact that she was a female alpha had set some people against her.
Unfortunately, the warrior had been killed when he went to end Maxwell, but at least he provided him with a valuable information days before he died, the notebook where Elijah jotted all his inventions.
With that, Vernot was able to come up with the serum. coating his fangs and claws with it. He even injected it into himself knowing it would not affect him however if Aliyah were to bite him she would pay dearly for it.
Thankfully it had no effect on other Alphas which was brilliant!
His target had been Aliyah, but Vernot knew he had nothing to worry about. Elijah's note had stated it also killed Omegas...it seems even the moon Goddess was on his side.
All the information he had gathered on the weak spots of other Alphas he put to very good use tonight. Elijah would be a piece of cake.
"an omega, making it this far" he smirked, "let's end this shall we?"
Elijah nodded urging Vernon on, who took a swipe at him catching him off guard, he was good Elijah had to give him that.
Elijah traced the claw marks on his chest. His blood was coated with something sticky ha, as expected-his serum.
Elijah took a deep breath, letting Vernon land hits on him only avoiding those directed to his face, he needs to look good when he wins this.
Vernot lost it, why wasn't the serum affecting Elijah!!!???
launching at him once again, he let his wolf break free. Elijah arrested his launch just inches from his face his hand firmly planted around his neck.
Squeezing the life out of him he applied pressure to specific junctions weakening him, Vernot snapped at him saliva dripping from his mouth desperation evident in his futile swipes with his claws. He looked like a rabies infected dog at this point.
Flinging him to the other side of the ring Elijah wiped his hands on his soiled pants...how he hated people who were generous with body fluids like saliva...his face scrunched up in absolute disgust.
Vernot landed roughly on his side. Standing up on all four he immediately charged towards Elijah who followed suit, they both ran in full speed towards each other a devastating collision in hand.
**********************************************
Aliyah was having a hard time watching, she had her fingers crossed. So far Elijah had proved everybody wrong pride welled up in her chest.
She watched as Elijah and Vernot charged towards each other willing Elijah to end the match. The roar of the crowd regardless of the pack was now all for Elijah.
Just when they were about to collide Elijah elevated himself onto the back of Vernot's wolf, he swiftly grabbed his head bending it back in an awkward fashion, Vernot moves from side to side in powerful succession to shake him off but Elijah had a strong hold on him constantly applying pressure to the same spot on his neck.
Vernot wailed out in frustration as Elijah applied pressure to his spine with his weight making his wolf crumble to the ground.
Pinning Vernot to the ground with his thighs Elijah grabbed a hold of his hind legs pulling it towards his tilted head the picture he painted was an arched wolf. Vernot's hind legs kissing the back of his head with Elijah in the middle acting like the glue.
A cracking sound filled the air along with his howls which basically sounded like roars now of pain.
But Elijah was just getting started. Sliding
off Vernot he grabbed him by his tail dragging him through the massive ring there would be no coming back after this absolute disgrace. Spinning him around several times like a rag doll he dumped him to the far end of the arena blood splattering all over the ring as his body landed in a heap. His once attached tail in Elijah Hand a testament to what just happened
Others watched in Horror as Elijah walked casually to Vernot's battered wolf. Taking a firm hold of his paws he ripped out his claws one at a time.
It was disturbing to look at. Aliyah could not believe Elijah was this brutal, it seemed he planned to rip Vernon to shreds piece by piece. Taking his time to perform this task in the most excruciating way possible.
"Elijah! We accept your victory there is no need for more bloodshed" Marcus stepped in to stop the gruesome sight.
Rising to his full height Elijah made his way out of the cage with such fluid movements like that of a predator. Aliyah noticed his eyes were dangerously dark and bloodshot.
Making his way to Marcus he grabbed him by his hood pulling him closer
"its Alpha Elijah to you old man" he delivered in a cold and chilling voice causing all wolves present to cower
Marcus could not oppose it was their ultimate rule. The strongest had the final say and he had just proved his worth.
The whole place was silence as wolves trembles from the rage and power coming off in waves from Elijah, He had done the Impossible.
The moon Goddess seemed to agree with them as thunder and lightning broke through the sky indicating a new era.
"To the last wolf standing do we all bow!" Leo the Gamma of Blood Born Pack shouted the chants of the werewolves thundered in response "to the last wolf standing do we all bow!!!" They got on their knees with heads bowed in reverence.
Elijah let go of the frightened old man. Turning to observe the crowd, he let out a groundbreaking howl receiving howls in response.
Nobody saw it coming, Alpha Vernot managed to drag himself out of the cage. If he couldn't get Elijah he would surely get Aliyah, as the wolves howled he knew this was his chance he threw himself at her biting a chunk of her thigh out, she let out a growl clawing at his eyes, but the poison had penetrated already.
Pack members enraged grabbed Alpha Vernot from all sides tearing him to pieces.
It felt like a dream Aliyah could feel herself falling just before she hit the ground warm arms caught her. A sense of peace enveloped her.
Her vision was getting blurry, she looked into Elijah golden orbs. If this was how she died at least his face was the last thing she sees. Raising her hand in an attempt to touch the side of his face she tried to make out words but she was choked with her own blood.
Giving way to the darkness, the last sound she heard was a piercing howl filled with pain.
