Skinwalker - Completed

CHAPTER 47

Aly's POV

Aly smiled despite the impending doom she was about to face. Rylie had been so considerate of her feelings, and she was amused and warmed by it all.

Rylie is a new werewolf, and she doesn't know the rules and the tradition, but she's understanding and open to new experiences in life. It's what Aly finds endearing, not because she's her true mate but because Rylie had wormed her way into her heart.

Now, Rylie has also shown that she's capable of standing by her side.

"Aly? Are you nervous?"

"Not at all; why?"

"I'm worried. What if you lose?"

Aly inhaled a deep breath. She knew that she would possibly lose, but she had to take the chance.

"I will try not to."

Rylie didn't say anything about what she said. But Aly knew that Rylie still worried about it.

They continued following the group until they saw a clearing.

Aly held Rylie's mane. Her hands suddenly felt cold, and her heartbeat started beating in fear and anxiety.

There were houses just like the houses they had back at the Light moon pack, but these houses and cabins looked awfully familiar to Aly. Sure, others are new but at the center of the Raven Crest is the old house where she's supposed the new Alpha now resides.

"Alpha Hale! There's someone who wants a duel."

Aly hops down on Rylie's back and gulp, waiting for the Alpha to emerge out of the old house. She knew who he was. Hale is her childhood friend, and she knows what his capabilities are. Despite the 5 years they hadn't seen each other.

Rylie stood in front of her, but Aly patted Rylie's head. Trying to calm the brown wolf down.

"Alyssa?" Hale emerged from the house, and Aly was fascinated by her friend's growth spurt.

He was all muscles now, and his green eyes became darker. His hair is also messy and redder compared to how Aly remembered him. He still has a soft look on his face and his kind eyes.

"You asked to duel me?" His eyebrows furrowed. "Are you trying to take the title from me?"

Aly looked at Hale straight in the eyes when he approached her. He was tall now, not the boy she once knew that was a bit smaller than her. His family was the beta before Aly murdered her family, and now that she knew he was the new Alpha, her shoulder relaxed.

Hale is known to listen first before judging.

"I'm not going to take it from you, Hale."

The other wolf snarled at her way because of what she said and cleared her throat. She realized that she sounded rude because she didn't address the new Alpha properly.

"Alpha Hale. I want to seek help from Raven Crest. This is the last time you will hear from me. Just, please. Help our tribe."

Hale sighs. "Aly. I can help you, but I need the elder's decision on this one. Please. If it's alright with you. You can stay for a little while. I will talk to them."

"But Alpha Hale!"

"Hush, Caleb! We are a peaceful tribe, and she's not here to cause any harm. Just to ask for our help."

"But she's a traitor, and she killed the previous Alpha!"

"They are her family too. It's not her fault at all. She couldn't control herself when she became a level 2 werewolf. Just---"Hale inhaled his breath as if trying to make himself calm. "Just go back to your duties and get Aly and her friend a cloth to wear."
