Whispers erupted from the onlookers outside as passersby exchanged shocked looks.

A formal duel between two werewolves of different packs is a serious and rare event, usually only with the consent of both Alphas as well as their guardians. Sorcia raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued but not yet convinced.

"I hear your wolf has only just been willing to show up on your side. And you dare to challenge me this way?" She laughed, her voice sharp and mocking.

Fine, I accept. But if we're going to do this, there needs to be a wager."

I knew this was coming, and I braced myself for her next words.

"If you lose," Sorcia said with a predatory smile, "you're going to end your relationship with Alpha Leo and get the hell out of Silvermoon immediately. It's a disgrace that a stupid she-wolf like you can be Luna." The surrounding passersby were dumbfounded, anger flashed in some of their eyes, but no one dared to stand up to her.

Everyone looked at me expectantly, waiting for a response.

I nodded, facing her challenge head on. "Fine. But if you lose, you have to apologize to Emma and everyone you've ever bullied one by one. And then, no more appearances in front of us." Sorcia's smirk faltered, replaced by a look of fury. "You can't possibly win," she hissed.

"We'll see," I replied coolly.
