The Alpha and The Vigilante novel Chapter 5

I already said I accept the challenge. You don't need to keep selling me on killing him.

John's eyes widened slightly, presumably in fear. He may have expected me to back down from the challenge and just forfeit my position. This would be a fundamental mistake for anyone. Never, ever think I will back down from a challenge.

Alpha Wilson smirked, probably proud because he knows I'm going to whoop John's ass, he's been asking for it for years. "Very well then. See you both at midnight."

"He does know you'll kill him, right?" Sebastian, Alpha Wilson's son asked as he walked into my house without knocking.

Has anyone ever told you it's impolite to barge into houses without knocking?

"Cool it, Reaper. You may scare the others but not me. I'm the future Alpha, remember?" He teased me.

You know I could still kick your ass. I said, smirking at him.

"Is that a challenge?" He asked, already lowering himself into fighting position. He knew me better than anyone else, and which meant he already knew I would accept the challenge.

I launched myself at him, and we fought only somewhat seriously in my living room. Of course, it ended with me pinning him.

As I sat on stop of his cheat, he whined, "It's not fair that you're stronger than me. You're only a little older than me and I'm going to be the ALPHA!" He was right, it was odd that I would beat him in combat.

I shrugged. You could win once you're officially the Alpha. You'll get so much power from that.

"Fine, we'll duel once I'm the Alpha" he said, laughing. I pushed myself off of his chest, and got up to go to the kitchen and make food for us. "Speaking of dueling," Sebastian continued, "Why would John challenge you? You can destroy him. All he does is glow in the dark." Sebastian had the Gift of electricity. He could electrocute people with just a slight lift of his finger. Alphas always got the best powers, and Betas and Gammas usually got pretty useful ones too. However, you have to be born from an Alpha, Beta, or Gamma bloodline to get extremely powerful Gifts.

"I also heard that the Blood Alpha is coming by next week," Sebastian said with disgust. "You know why he has the nickname Blood Alpha?"

I'm assuming because he makes people bleed? Duh? Pretty self explanatory.

Seb rolled his eyes. "Well yeah, jackass. But it's because he's known for beheading people in battle. How barbaric, right?"

I shrugged. I don't know. I've beheaded people who deserve it. It's a pretty gruesome way to die, so I can see why he would.

"You both need therapy," Seb laughed. "I forgot you beheaded that one guy who challenged you when you were 16."

He's referring to the last time someone challenged me for my position. That was the hardest duel I have ever had to win, because the person challenging me was the second oldest son of a Beta. He came from another pack to challenge me for my title, because he could not get the Beta position in his own pack, since that goes to the firstborn, and he knew he would lose to the Beta in my pack. When someone with a high position has a child with their mate, the Moon Goddess always gives a boy to carry on their legacy. I was an anomaly.
