One of the reasons why a Werewolf Pack doesn't like the idea of a Bloodmatch is because it can sometimes lead to an accidental death. Normally, A Werewolf can't kill members of their pack, they can only fight or defeat them. It is in their genetics. They can only kill when the Person has become an Omega and is not in their Pack.
One of the primary tenets of werewolf culture is that a pack should be a place of trust and respect, where no member would intentionally harm another. Therefore, the idea of a bloodmatch - a fight to the death or close to death - is deeply troubling to them. It goes against the very nature of the pack, which is supposed to be a family.
What's more, even if a werewolf were to win a bloodmatch, they would likely suffer from psychological trauma as a result. Seeing a packmate - someone they cared for and trusted - die or almost died at their own hand would be devastating.
Sophie has already been defeated and if Alexander had not held Benjamin's hand in place, he would have swiped her neck leading to her death by accident. If there was one thing the entire pack knew about Benjamin, it was the fact that he was a hot head. When he gets angry, he behaves like a mad wolf.
The first thing the Werewolves did was to Carry Sophie to the sides. She has been badly beaten and was bruised in several places. A clear sign that she couldn't keep up with Benjamin's Attacks. It would take some time for she to heal.
They laid her down gently. Her skin was already beginning to heal, as her body's natural powers of regeneration kicked in. Still, it would take time for her to fully recover from the physical and emotional toll of the fight.
As the pack members looked at her, there was a mixture of sadness, worry, and even anger in their eyes. They knew that this shouldn't have happened, that the bloodmatch had been a mistake. The bond of the pack had been broken, and it would take time to heal.
Even Benjamin who had done such a thing was saddened that he had gone quite too far. She wasn't as strong as him.
Alexander and Benjamin were now facing each other. "Won't you turn?" Benjamin asked in his Werewolf state. The words were had to grasp, this is due to his long fangs a Werewolf have in their Werewolf State. It makes it hard for them to say a word. But with their sharp mind everyone could understand what he was saying.
"I would only turn if i have too." Alexander said. "Don't forget i train everyday. So don't hold back!" Alexander shouted the last few words and instantly his eyes glowed yellow and his forearm was covered in fur.
The fur were thick and long, but not as much as in his Werewolf state. His sharp dark strong claws could be seen. His curly hairs stood up showing that he was angry and a smile could be seen on his face as his fangs were showing a bit, not entirely long.
"What is this?" Benjamin asked confused. "Is this some kind of Magic?" He asked again confused.
All the students present was also confused.
"It's a technique i learnt while i was away. As you all might know. I always love training." He said and then raised his forearm. "It is like a form of half transformation. I didn't let the 'Werewolves Energy' to consume me entirely. Like this i would keep my best for the last. Like this, i have Strength more than my Human self, although not as strong as my Werewolf State. If I can't defeat you in this, i would resort to the Full Form."
Benjamin looked at him, his eyes narrowed in concentration. "So you want to hold back?" he said. "That's not fair!"
"Fair?" Alexander said with a laugh. "There's no such thing as fair in a fight. Only victory or defeat. Are you ready?"
At the same time Alexander's foot grew a bit in size like his forearm and was covered in fur. It was still the half transformation. He needed this for his speed.
'What Kind Of Werewolf Would He Become'. Benjamin thought a bit scared that maybe Alexander might surpass all of them combined in Strength. This brought a zeal in him to end this and become the Alpha.
Benjamin growled, and then lunged forward, his claws outstretched. Alexander ducked and then kicked out, sending Benjamin sprawling to the ground. He recovered quickly, jumping to his feet and charging again. This time, their claws met, and they were locked in a fierce battle of strength.
At the same time, all the other Werewolves seeing this were a bit frightened at this. They knew Alexander was strong and he was just a normal Werewolf. He wasn't like the Werewolves that were born Naturally which was Stronger than others. Right now, he was standing his ground firmly with Benjamin, who is a Natural Born WereWolf.
Alexander hasn't even gone to his Werewolf State which would gradually improve his Strength. Based on what Alexander told them about this Half Transformation form. His Strength is halved, it is not complete, all his Stats are halved.
'What happened to you Alexander. How did you become so Strong'. Sophie thought still on the floor and was weak. 'I hope your newfound Strength would give us an edge against the Vampires.'
The First Year werewolves were also watching the battle with a mix of awe and terror. They had never seen anything like this before - two werewolves fighting with such skill and power. They were informed by the other Students that Alexander was strong, but they had never imagined that he could match Benjamin, who was known for his incredible strength and ferocity.
"What is happening?" whispered one of the younger pack members. (A First Year) "What has Alexander done?"
"I don't know," said another, shaking their head in disbelief.
