Never Say Goodbye (Sequel To NSN. Twilight Fanfic)

Chap Sixteen

This chapter isn't in anyone's POV. Kind of like an outside POV. I'm not very good at fight scenes but bare with me!

Chapter Sixteen

It happened a week later at night when everyone should be resting. It wasn't a sound that altered the disjointed pack. It was instinct. The type that made mothers clutch their pups closer, and protective fathers board up the windows and lock the doors.

Males of all sizes appeared out of the darkness to confront each other. To spill blood and be crowned king. To take what they wanted and be damned the consequences. Nothing could stop this challenge that would forever change them, might even drive them crazy. Shifters were not known as a democracy.

Bella, Robin, and Randy were watching from behind the blinds at the spectacle waiting to happen outside.

"Robin?" Bella whispered. The female in question looked at her friend. "How did Rashed become the leader exactly?" She was looking for a distraction, Robin realized.

"Well," she started to answer in an equally quite voice. "When vampires attacked us he was the only one who could get everyone's respect and so that's where his power came from. The pack wanted him to be a leader. This," Robin gestured to outside. "Will break down everything. All because a leach with dreads got the drop on him." She shook her head, eyes shiny with unshed tears.

Randy, who stayed quiet throughout, pulled his mate to his side where she rested her aching head onto his chest.

A loud growl raddled the windows. Chaos reigned from then on.

In total there were seven males. They moved at the same time. Males clashed together in a flurry of teeth, claws, and fur. A large black bear descended down on a lion who met him tooth for tooth. A giant mountain goat butted heads with a furious Alaskan wolf who didn't win that fight after a loud snap announced the breaking of a neck. Moments later the wolf shifted back to the male skin he once occupied.

The lion won his fight against the bear with a precise bite to the throat. The lion was coated in blood and had a limp to his prowling walk as he singled out next victim; a grey wolf who was the smallest out of them all but who had a vicious gleam in his dark eyes. This was the one they all had to look out for.

He let out a roaring challenge but the grey wolf didn't move. The lion would have to advance first giving the wolf time to defend himself. Seconds passed before the bloody lion charged. He didn't make it very far, the mountain goat rammed it's thick horns into the side of the lion, impaling him in one strike. The shifter male reverted back to it human form gasping for breath before going still.

Fifty yards away a bull moose snorted in irritation and pain at the cheetah clinging fiercely to its back. His claws were digging into its back, ripping away fur and skin, trying to get to its spine. The spotted cheetah reached the bull moose throat just as it rolled to try and rid him of his competitor, killing both immediately. Both shifted back, showing that death had taken two more people.

Now it was down to the tough looking mountain goat and the small grey wolf.    The shifters watching behind cover silently took bets, to them the mountain goat was in first place. He looked deadly calm and filled with confidence. His horns dripped with blood and guts of his enemies while his eyes flared with confidence.

The grey wolf on the other hand seemed weak and pitiful. He was only seventeen, pride making him think this was a good idea, but now that he was looking death in the eyes did he rethink.

The wolf started to back away when the goat charged. He narrowly missed those deadly horns by an inch. Instead of defending himself the wolf choose flight and turned tail. The winner chased after him until he crossed the perimeter line. The wolf wouldn't be allowed back into the community now, he chose exile over death.

The new Alpha stood there a moment longer, making sure the wolf wouldn't come back before proudly striding toward the carnage and hollering his triumph. He pranced around the bodies. Few shifters gathered to congratulate their new leader, hoping to gain favor while unmated females presented themselves as possible mates.

It was time for them to leave if they wanted to live.
