Chapter 49

　　Damon

　　After the formal challenge had been accepted, we found ourselves standing in the heart of the Blood Rose pack's territory. Over time, this place had become the customary arena for those seeking to challenge the reigning alpha for their position.

　　The members of the Blood Rose pack had gathered to witness this fight to the death. I was fully aware that this duel would only conclude when one of us lay lifeless. It weighed heavily on my heart that either my father or I would meet our demise, but I had reconciled with this grim reality the moment I decided to contest his authority. Knowing my father, he would sooner see me dead or meet his own end than let me take charge of his pack.

　　At last, the shofar resounded, a ram's horn instrument signaling the commencement of our confrontation. In the blink of an eye, my father transformed into his renowned wolf form, inciting terrified screams from the onlookers. Indeed, my father's wolf form was the stuff of nightmares.
