The Alpha Soulbound Mate [BL]

Kaiden stood before the Council's Elders, his eyes locked on Victor.

"I refuse to relinquish control to Victor, who conspired to kill my father," Kaiden declared, his voice steady.

Victor's expression turned incredulous . "What !!! How dare you . Facing the elders, "i did no such thing, the boy is just making a baseless accusation, He have no proof."

The elders turn their attention to Kaiden,Elder Cedric brow furrowed. "Kaiden, make your case. What evidence do you have?"

Kaiden presented the evidence Mark had gathered: documents, witness testimonies, and security footage.

Elder Thompson's expression darkened. "This is disturbing. Victor, explain yourself."

Victor's smile faltered, but he recovered quickly. "Fabrications, Elders. Kaiden's desperation to cling to power."

Kaiden's anger boiled over. "I challenge Victor to a duel to the death. Let the gods decide who shall lead the Blackwood Pack."

The Elders' attention remained fixed on Kaiden, their expressions skeptical they exchanged uneasy glances. Elder Rafeal spoke up, "Kaiden, you have the right to avenge your father's death. The duel is authorized."

Victor's eyes narrowed. "I accept. You're no match for me, Kaiden."

Elder cedric banged his staff, silencing the murmurs. "The duel will take place at sundown, tomorrow. Let the pack's fate be decided."

The Council Chamber erupted into chaos, with some Elders protesting and others supporting Kaiden's decision.

Tyler and Elias stood firm beside Kaiden, ready to face the consequences.

Kaiden stood in the training grounds, his dagger slicing through the air with precision. Beta Tyler and Elias watched, impressed by his focus.

Elias approached him . "Kaiden, let me fight in your stead. I want to avenge Alpha Asher too."

Beta Tyler stepped forward, his expression serious. "Elias , this is Kaiden's fight. He must prove himself."

Kaiden sheathed his dagger, his gaze firm. "Elias , I appreciate your willingness, but this is my battle. I must face Victor alone and make him pay for his sins ."

Elias face fell, but Kaiden continued.

"If I want the pack to respect me as their Alpha, I need to prove my worth . Victor thinks I'm just a boy, but his downfall will be because he underestimated me."

Beta Tyler pride swelled. "That's the spirit, Kaiden. You're your father's son."

Elias nodded, understanding. "I'll stand by you, Kaiden. We all will."

Tyler handed Kaiden a small pouch. "From Mark. A token of luck."

Kaiden opened it, revealing a silver pendant with the Blackwood Pack's emblem.

As sundown approached, the pack gathered at the designated duel site. Victor and Reginald arrived, confident and smug.

Elder cedric raised his staff. "Let the duel begin. May the gods decide the Blackwood Pack's fate."

Kaiden and Victor faced off, their eyes locked in a fierce stare.

"You're no match for me, boy," Victor sneered.

Kaiden smiled, a fierce glint in his eye. "We'll see about that."

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the duel site.

Victor, in his werewolf form, unleashed a powerful roar, sending shockwaves through the air. Kaiden stood firm, his own werewolf senses heightened.

The two combatants clashed, their movements lightning-fast. Victor's massive paws swiped at Kaiden, but he dodged with ease, his agility and quick reflexes allowing him to evade the attacks.

Kaiden countered with swift strikes, aiming for Victor's vulnerable spots. Victor blocked each blow with his claws, but Kaiden's relentless pressure kept him on the defensive.

As the fight raged on, Kaiden employed his strategy, he feigned weakness, luring Victor into a series of powerful, but ultimately futile, attacks. With each strike, Victor expended energy, his movements slowing.while Kaiden conserved his strength, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Kaiden's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he unleashed a burst of speed and power, striking Victor with rapid, precise blows.

Victor stumbled, his defenses breached. Kaiden seized the opening, landing a devastating kick that sent Victor crashing to the ground.

As Victor struggled to rise, Kaiden summoned his werewolf's energy, turning his hands into a wolf's paw, he pushed his paw into victor's chest ripping out his heart .

Victor's lifeless body slumped to the ground,blooding gushing out of his chest.

The Blackwood Pack erupted into cheers as Kaiden stood victorious, raising victor's heart up,his chest heaving with exhaustion.

Elder Cedric approached, a nod of respect on his face. "Kaiden, son of Asher, you have proven yourself worthy. You are the rightful Alpha of the Blackwood pack."

Reginald's face twisted with rage as he watched Kaiden's victory. "No! Victor was supposed to crush that insolent boy!"

Kaiden's gaze swept the gathering, his voice ringing out.

"I will lead our pack with strength, justice, and honor. Let Victor's fate serve as a warning to those who would challenge our pack's unity."

As Kaiden's words faded, the pack's loyalty and respect for their new Alpha solidified.
