The day passed quickly, with the sun dipping behind the horizon as dusk set in.
The tension between Ethan and Bassam hung in the air, an unspoken challenge awaiting its conclusion.
Despite the casual conversations and laughter, the thought of the upcoming fight nagged at the back of Ethan's mind.In the hours leading up to nightfall, Ethan, Ryan, Blake, and Diana gathered in the backyard of Blake's house to prepare for the fight.
Diana stood off to the side, hands glowing faintly as she casts protective enchantments around the house to prevent the sound from the up coming fight to go out.
Blake and Ryan took turns sparring with each other, throwing playful jabs while Ethan sat on a stone bench, reviewing his system.

I sighed ,it feels as if the system was saying I must win, but there was no guarantee, I said to myself.
Bassam, despite being a newly turned werewolf, carried himself with confidence—a confidence Ethan couldn't ignore.
"I don't know, guys," Ethan said, standing up and stretching his limbs.
"There's something about Bassam. He's different from other werewolves I've read about, He's… calculating , I said.
"Ryan paused from sparring with Blake.
"You're thinking too much, man. He's new to this. You've got the upper hand, Just hit him hard and fast, besides he is your boy and this is real life, Ryan smiled.
"Blake nodded. "Ryan's right. Besides, you turned into what he is , right?"
Ethan wasn't so sure it was going to be that easy, but he nodded, forcing a grin.
He turned to Diana, who had been observing them from a distance. "What do you think?"Diana met his eyes, her face calm but serious.
"Bassam's power is new, but his will is strong. There's something more driving him…. that I don't know,You need to be careful, Ethan.
Don't underestimate him."Ethan's stomach churned, but he kept his composure.
The sound of footsteps approaching broke the conversation.
Bassam emerged from the shadows, his expression unreadable as he stepped into the backyard.
The air seemed to thicken with tension, and Ethan could feel the familiar hum of power stirring inside him.
Tonight was different—the moon, though not full, seemed to call out to him. He wondered if Bassam felt it too."I'm ready," Bassam said simply.Ethan clenched his fists.
Diana Ryan and Blake quickly gave us some space.
The two stood across from each other in the clearing, the others watching in silence. Ethan could feel his blood pumping, the adrenaline coursing through him as the system flashed before his eyes again:Quest Updated: The outcome of this battle will determine whether Bassam joins your pack or becomes a rival.
Ethan steeled himself. This wasn't just about a fight—it was about securing an ally or potentially gaining a dangerous enemy.
Bassam's eyes glinted under the pale moonlight as he stepped forward. "Are you sure you're ready for this?" Bassam's voice was low but filled with confidence.
His movements were calm, deliberate—he was taking this seriously."I don't back down from a challenge," Ethan replied,it feels as if the system was urging him to act
He took a deep breath and allowed his senses to sharpen.
The night air became clearer, every rustle of the wind more distinct, every beat of his heart more pronounced.
He was in tune with the primal force of the wolf inside him.SUPREME WEREWOLF SYSTEM: (Challenge Accepted: Defeat Bassam)You are entering combat mode.

Ethan glanced at Bassam, who was shifting slightly, his muscles tensing.
He didn't know exactly what powers Bassam had inherited when he turned, but he couldn't afford to hesitate.
, Ethan and Bassam began to circle each other."Remember, you can't hold back," Diana's voice echoed in Ethan's mind they had connected earlier.
"Bassam will fight with everything he's got.
"Before Ethan could respond, Bassam lunged, his speed far greater than expected for someone newly turned.
Ethan dodged just in time, feeling the rush of air as Bassam's claws grazed his shoulder.
Bassam was fast—too fast.Ethan pivoted, calling on his enhanced agility, and spun to face Bassam head-on.
He swung with precision, landing a solid hit on Bassam's side.
The blow sent Bassam skidding backward, but he quickly recovered, wiping blood from his lip with a grin."That all you got?" Bassam taunted, his eyes now glowing a deep amber. His wolf side was emerging.
Ethan felt the surge of energy from his system, amplifying his strength. He knew he needed to be smarter, not just stronger.
As they continued their deadly dance, Bassam grew more aggressive, charging again and again with increasing ferocity.
Ethan blocked most of the attacks, but the sheer force behind Bassam's blows was staggering.

It was just in time, as Bassam's next hit landed squarely on his chest, sending him crashing into a nearby tree.Diana gasped, her hands glowing with magic as she prepared to intervene, but Ethan raised a hand, stopping her. "No… I got this.
"He pushed himself up, wiping the dirt from his face. "You're strong, Bassam. But I'm not done yet."Bassam's smile faded as Ethan began to transform, his body morphing into something more primal.
His hands became claws, his muscles rippling with newfound strength. The wolf within him took over as his eyes glowed an intense yellow.

Ethan felt the surge of power fill every part of his body.
The system had given him just what he needed to turn the tide.With a roar, Ethan charged at Bassam, moving with a speed that even surprised him.
He slashed at Bassam, their claws meeting in a shower of sparks as the two werewolves locked in a brutal exchange.
Blow after blow, the ground beneath them shook from the force of their battle.Bassam growled, his confidence wavering as he struggled to keep up.
Ethan's power was overwhelming. Finally, with a powerful swipe, Ethan knocked Bassam off his feet, pinning him to the ground.

The glow in Bassam's eyes dimmed, and his body relaxed under Ethan's grip.
"I yield," Bassam said quietly, his voice filled
with a strange mix of respect and resignation.
"You've earned my loyalty."Ethan stepped back, allowing Bassam to stand. He wasn't sure how to feel—relieved, maybe—but the weight of the challenge had lifted.
Bassam had submitted, and they had gained a powerful ally.
"You did it!" Ryan shouted, rushing over and whispered into my ear , I said he was you boy.
Blake followed, a grin spreading across his face. Diana smiled softly, but Ethan could tell she had expected this outcome all along.
"Welcome to the team, Bassam," Ethan said, extending a hand.Bassam hesitated for a moment, then clasped Ethan's hand firmly.
"I guess I'm part of the pack now."Later that night, as the group sat around a fire in Blake's backyard, Ethan checked his system again, eager to see what skill he had unlocked.
