At this moment, they gripped each other''s shoulders and tried to knock each other down. Blood flowed from the shoulders of the two as sharp ws pierced into their skin. They bit, wed, and mmed their opponents as fiercely as they could.


    Everyone was watching the fight between the two Alphas intensely, but none of them did anything. Even though Elias was their leader, in this one-on-one duel, the lycans from The Obsidian Sand Pack couldn''t take sides.


    Lnd had officially challenged the pack''s Alpha in a one-on-one battle to take the leadership position of the pack. So, they were not allowed to help Elias. If Elias lost the battle, Lnd would be their new leader. They must not offend him now.


    Grrr….


    Grrr…


    The two let out a loud groan before Lnd finally mmed Elias to the side. Elias, who didn''t want to fall alone, grabbed Lnd and they fell together. Their bodies rolled and rolled and wrestled each other all the way until they reached a big pir.


    Bloodstains spread all over the ce. Elias''s stomach continued to bleed. It made his strength decrease drastically. He was restless and getting more and more irritated every time because the poison he gave Lnd through the nails still didn''t show any effect on the Alpha.


    Most of the lycans who were still hanging around to watch the duel could already predict that Elias would lose the fight.


    ***


    Meanwhile, inside the pce, Max and the four other lycans were checking every room of every part of the pce for the whereabouts of Eloise and Isolde.


    Gradually, the effects of the potions they drank wore off, making the lycan pce guards begin to notice their existence.


    "Do you smell this?" One of the guards took a deep breath, confirming that there was an unfamiliar scent around them.


    "Hm. There''s an intruder. From over there!"


    The guards who noticed the scent rushed towards the source of the scent.


    Max and his fourpanions noticed the enemy''s arrival.


    "Get ready. Soon we will be attacked," said Max with a sigh.


    As soon as Max spoke, they were surrounded. They couldn''t help but fight. Instantly, the situation in the pce hall became very chaotic.


    A guard threw a table at Max but the man pulled a guard nearby and made him a shield to catch the table before he immediately turned to kick another guard who wanted to attack him from behind.


    Not far from him, a friend threw a guard at a pir while the others moved swiftly to dodge enemy attacks and throw furniture at each other. Soon, three of their five friends who had been outside watching their Alpha duel came to help, followed by two witches who weed them at the border.


    Because of therge number of enemies they needed time to incapacitate them all.


    "Have you found Madam Isolde and Miss Eloise yet?" One of the three lycans who came to help asked.


    "Not yet," Max replied. "What about Alpha?"


    "He almost won the duel."


    "Gentlemen, thanks for the help. Pleasee with us. We''ll show you where Miss Eloise is," said Celia, who showed up from behind a big pir followed by a younger witch.


    Max looked at the two witches.


    "Why didn''t you guys tell us from the start?!" he asked annoyed. "We wasted so much time looking around."


    "Ah, that… we''re sorry," Celia looked down apologetically. "We were held up."


    "We must quickly find Mrs. Isolde and Miss Eloise and bring them before Alpha," said Max impatiently. He motioned the witches to show them the way.


    The two witches led Max and the seven other lycans to a building. When they got there, they were confronted by the lycans assigned to closely guard the building.


    "Is Luna Eloise inside?" Max asked and the two witches nodded.


    "Max, we will fight them. When you find an opportunity, go inside with the two witches."


    Hearing his friend''s words, Max nodded.


    All the lycans transformed into their wolf forms and then attacked the guards to open a way for Max to enter the building.


    The guards didn''t stay still. They also transformed and tried their best to block out the eight intruders. The fierce fight that caused amotion broke out again.


    Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Elias'' defenses began to crumble. Lndunched a barrage of extremely fast attacks. Head, chest, stomach, back. Blood was flowing from between Elias'' fur and made the ck wolf look terrible.


    Lnd hit Elias'' injured stomach and then spun around while doing a kick that hit the side of Elias'' face. Elias staggered to the side before finally falling. Gradually his form returned into human form.


    His wolf face had been beaten to a pulp and was covered with blood. His two eyes stared hatefully at the white wolf standing in front of him.


    Meanwhile, Lnd who was staring at Elias suddenly felt dizzy and he spontaneously shook his head once.


    Elias knew from Lnd''s behavior that the poison was starting to work. Even though it was very strong, he only nted the poison on his nails when he broke the poison bottle. It was no wonder that it took some time for it to show the effect on a very healthy and strong Alpha lycan like Lnd.


    Now he regretted that he didn''t use the potion in a bigger dose. The amount of poison that entered Lnd''s body was very little while Lnd had a very strong immune system. He only staggered for a while, but he quickly found his bnce and he didn''t even wince.


    ''Shit!" Elias cursed in his heart. When he thought Lnd was caught off guard, he took the opportunity to run away but Lnd realized this immediately and chased after him.


    Today Elias must die.


    Lnd chased Elias to a building and when he entered, he found his mother being strangled by Elias. Eloise looked annoyed and hateful.


    "Don''te any closer or I will kill her," said Elias earnestly.


    "Aahh..."


    Isolde''s two hands grabbed Elias''s big hand which was strangling her neck, "Heyy... let me go. Elias... let me go."


    Isolde looked very different today than what Lnd saw in person four years ago. She looked frail, even though her hateful and arrogant expressions were still there.


    Elias ignored the woman''s words and focused on Lnd. "If you take a step forward you''ll see your mother die. I''m not kidding."


    "How dare you! Ungrateful son of a bitch!" Isolde cursed. "Don''t forget that you are in this position, because of me. Without my help you are nothing. LET. GO. OF. ME!!"


    "Shut up." Elias snapped while Isolde continued cursing him.


    "You insolent dog! You''re shameless and ungrateful! Youe to power because of me and now you use me to protect yourself! You useless man! Trash!"


    "Shut up!"


    "No. Trash would definitely feel insulted if I called you trash! You…." Isolde narrowed her eyes and spit on Elias. "You are one piece of..."


    "SILENCE!" Elias snapped and immediately slit Isolde''s throat with his long and sharp ws. Instantly the blood flowed like a river from the older woman''s neck.


    Isolde''s eyes widened before her head fell to the ground.


    As soon as his mother fell, Lnd immediately jumped up and mmed his ws into Elias''s head with great force. It was so fast and unexpected by his opponent. Elias didn''t have time to dodge the attack.


    His head was decapitated and his body dropped to the ground like a rag doll.
