    “I understand. You have every right to feel that way.”


    “I don’t think you understand. You’ve never been in this kind of situation, have you?”


    “You think I haven’t?” He asks with a smile. I nod my head. “Have a seat.”


    “Huh?”


    “sit down.” He says calmly and I do as told. He sits down as well and faces me. “On the day of my


    coronation as Beta of this pack, I had to fight Alpha Reagan in this same studium. It’s kind of like a


    ritual that is always carried out when


    a new Beta is crowned. The Beta has to fight with the Lycan King to show his strength. I was barely


    eighteen years old. I remember stepping out of the stadium and being weed with a loud cheer


    from arge crowd. All the high ranking officials of the pack were present including every other


    Alpha from every other Lucan pack. I cannot begin to describe how terrified I felt that day. The


    cheering got even louder when Alpha Reagan stepped out from his own end. I almost fainted. We


    stepped into a circle and the whistle was blown for us to start fighting. There was no coach. They


    just left us to fight until we had no energy left in us. Alpha Reagan beat me, okay?” Laughter follows


    hisst sentence. I can’t hold mine in so I join him. He looks at me and nods. “I’d been training my


    whole life for that day and when it finally came, I knew I was going to beat Alpha Reagan to pulp,


    but I forgot the fact that he had also been training for that day and he had the same goal as me.


    Coupled with that he’s the Alpha. He’s stronger, faster, more deadly than I’ll ever be. I got the eating


    of my life from him again.” a


    “Why did they make you guys fight with each other? It doesn’t make sense.”


    “You know, just like the Beta of the pack, the Delta is the Alpha’s advisor, defender, protector and


    friend. We are bound by oath to help him rule this pack until death separates us. Now, they make us


    fight on the coronation day to mark the first andst time we fight with each other. From then on, we


    only have to fight against other people. That’s why there was no coach. That’s why they let us beat


    ourselves till we have no energy left in us. ording to our ancestors, that fight cancels every other


    fight we were meant to have with each other in the


    future.”


    “So, it is expected that from then on, you two will not fight with each other ever again?”


    “Exactly.” He confirms. I scoff.


    “And how’s that going?”


    “Pretty well. It’s been almost ten years and we’ve never raised our fists against each other. Neither


    has Beta Ronald


    “So, does it mean you had the same fight with Beta Ronald?”

    “Well, Beta Ronald had his own coronation day and on that day, he fought with Alpha Reagan. Their


    fight took ce before mine. And on the day all three of us were presented to the Pack. members


    as Alpha Beta and Delta we fought ourselves in the same circle with the same crowd.”


    “That’s ridiculous!”


    “That’s why it’s called a ritual. Most rituals are ridiculous.”


    He sighs and rises to his feet.


    “So. Trust me when I say Ipletely understand how you feel right now.”


    “Now, I do.”


    “Good.” He takes my hand in his and kisses them. “Forget about the knives that are slicing your


    guts into tiny bits of pieces. Forget about the drums ying in your heart and focus on the


    game. Lycan or not, you are a terrific warrior and you’ll win all those duels. It won’t be easy, but


    you’ll win. I know you will!”


    “Thank you.” I smile heartily as I feel my confidence shoot up to the highest level.


    I can’t wait to go out there and kick a s s.
