Cursed

Luna

Just a quick note.
A wolf can challenge for Alpha but not for Luna. Unless the she-wolf who wishes to challenge is either the mate or the Alpha wants her to be his mate.
The Alpha has to agree the challenge. Whoever wins, becomes Luna.

Scarlett's POV
After Scott had told me that he and Cole have barely spoken I could help but feel guilty. It was my fault after all. I wasn't strong enough to protect my pack or my unborn pup.
'Hey, I have a question for you two.' I say whilst leading them towards the pack game room. It was completely empty so we were lucky. I sat down on the sofa and motioned for them to do the same.
'So I was thinking of challenging for the position of Luna, again.' I cautiously looked up to see both Scott and Chelsea eyes full of hope and massive smiles plastered on their faces.
'Yes. You must. Throw that dog in the dirt!' Chelsea hollered. She was jumping up and down whilst throwing punches in the air around her.
Beta Scott nodded, 'I can call a pack meeting if you want'
'That would be great. Do it now. I am going to change.' I saw Scott's eye glaze over as he arranged the meeting.
After changing into some of Chelsea's sports clothes I joined the meeting.
'Today, the meeting was called by Beta Scott.' Cole's strong, deep voice demanded every wolves attention.

Cole's POV
I handed over the stage to my beta who accepted it with a nod. He held his head up high. ' I would like to make an announcement. As most of you would know, we have a new Luna ,Jenna. However, she is not the rightful Luna. With that news Luna Scarlett wishes to challenge for the position.'
Woah. So that is what the were planning. I can't believe it. Scott turned to look at me.
'Do you, Alpha Cole, accept the challenge?'
I sent a strong nod in agreement. Beside me I could see Jenna smiling.  She wanted to beat Scarlett.
'You are all welcome to stay. But if you must leave then do.' Beta Scott dismissed them. 
'Hey babe, I can't wait to prove that I am worthy of Luna.' Jenna was practically dancing around me.
'I mean, how good can she be? If she couldn't protect her pup. Then how can she fight me.'  I sent her a threatening growl and she smiled at me in sorrow. 
We walked next to each other, towards the fight ring, which was a spray painted circle in the middle of the field.
I could see a large crowd which parted when I arrived. In the ring stood beta Scott and female beta Chelsea.
Jenna skipped into the centre and began to stretch. I could see Scarlett do the same.
'Come then Scarlett!  The Luna who couldn't protect her own pup.'
The fact she kept bringing that up made me furious. Before I could reply a small girl stood forward.
'She saved my life Luna. I owe her so much.' This little girl smiled at Scarlett who simply smiled back. The crowd were all on edge. This battle had divided all the wolves. They didn't know who's side to pick. And neither did I. But there was no time to pick sides, it's time for the challenge to begin.
'Luna Jenna, Luna Scarlett. Step forward. These are the rules. You cannot enlist help from out of the ring.'
They nodded to show their understanding.
'You will first battle in human form. Then in wolf form. May the battle commence!'
A small bell went off and the girls got into their fighting positions.
Jenna made the first move, she lunged at Scarlett. Throwing a punch at her left cheek. Scarlett dodged it easily and placed her foot in front of Jenna. Causing her to trip and land on the floor.
Jenna pushed herself up and sent a right hook towards Scarlett's face. With a quick block Scarlett braced herself. She raised her leg and smirked. With that she sent a roundhouse kick to Jenna's temple. 
Jenna's body fell limp on the floor.
'First round won by Luna Scarlett!' I yelled as the bell rang again.
The pack doctor rushed into the ring to help Jenna gain consciousness.
'Time for round two. Everyone step back'
