My big mouth had gotten me into another mess. Challenging an Alpha wasn't easy. The werewolf society was built on respect and pride.
Alphas possessed both qualities in abundance. Once a challenge was issued, it was impossible to refuse. Another downside was that, as a she-wolf, I had no right to claim a pack if I won.
I could feel Alpha Kane's anger radiating off him in waves, but refusing an Alpha made you a disgrace to your pack. I let my nerves get the better of me, remembering what Commander Steal had once told me.
"Let the fear in, but don't let it control you. Fear can save your life."
"Then let's make this interesting," Alpha Bran shrugged, but excitement danced in his eyes.
"Name your terms." I crossed my arms, wincing as Alpha Bran watched my movement.
"If I win, I'll have you." Alpha Bran grinned broadly. "If you win, I'll put all my wolves at your disposal to solve our little problem."
"No way." I shook my head. "I would never allow myself to be yours."
