The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: THE CUP OF LIFE

They were now in the arena.

There were levels of rows of seats filled with the people of the Isle of lycanthrope.

The members of the crescent pack, along with Xaden, sat up front.

It was now dark, and the only reflection of light was the moon.

Erik stood in the middle of the open circle without a shirt.

He would turn to a wolf once the bell for the commencement of the fight was rung.

Erik watched as his father came into view, and there was cheering and jubilations from the people of Lycanthrope.

"I still do not believe that Erik never told anyone that his father was the King of lycanthrope," Owen said.

"Not just that he is also the heir to the throne of lycanthrope," Rowan murmured.

Xaden sighed, feeling uncomfortable that he was seated in his chair like a king while his second-in-command and best friend was about to fight with an immortal being who happened to be none other than his own father.

"Wonder how he feels fighting with his father." Someone else said.

"He had no choice but to fight for Xaden," Owen replied. "How are you feeling, Alpha Xaden?"

Xaden glared at them, telling them he was in no mood for their shenanigans.

And they all went quiet.

Then they turned to look at the arena grounds.

"At the sound of the bell, both champions shall begin the fight. If Alpha Erik, son of the King of the aisle of Lycanthrope, is to win, then he and his friends will leave Lycanthrope unharmed and safe with the cup of life in their possession. But if the King of the Isle of Lycanthrope is to win this competition, then he would take all the members of the pack and do with them as he deems fit. He shall also bend his only son Erik to his will."

There was serene silence in the atmosphere.

"Begin!" The announcer said right after hitting the bell.

At that moment, Erik turned into a massive wolf, and so did the King turned into his own wolf.

His wolf was much, much bigger than Erik’s, and it had a few bones open.

It had no skin around its left side, and you could see its bones, yet everywhere else that had skin was vividly fat, indicating how strong he was.

Immediately, they began fighting and attacking each other.

In the beginning, the King gains over Erik.

Erik’s wolf did some damage in retaliation, but it was not comparable to what was being vetted against him.

"He is killing him," Elyon said in anguish as the king flung him against the wall.

Erik’s wolf howled and had to scamper away to avoid being hit again.

By now, Erik’s wolf was bloodied, and it seemed almost impossible for him to be able to win.

Erik slowly stood up to his paws and was breathing heavily.

By now, the King’s wolf was smiling, seeming happy with the knowledge that he was going to defeat Erik.

But Erik pulled a surprise trick.

When the King came to meet him.

The king said, " I will finish you, and I shall bend your will. You will watch me rip apart the ones you love, and you will still be under my power."

As he pulled out his claws to Mark Erik.

Marking your opponent was the final way to become the winner.

There was a hush from everyone, and then, finally, cheering came from the members of the crescent pack and its Alpha.
