Chapter 161
Sapphire POV
The air crackled with tension as Victor and Ryker clashed, their movements a blur of claws and fangs in the stark moonlight. Victor’s eyes burned with a cold fury, a reflection of the icy grip he had on Ryker.
The smaller wolf, his fur matted with sweat and blood, fought with desperate strength, but Victor’s power was undeniable. Every blow he landed sent a tremor through Ryker’s body, a silent testament to the might of his opponent.
I watched, my heart pounding in my chest, as Victor’s advantage grew. He had Ryker pinned, his massive jaws clamped down on the other wolf’s shoulder, a sickening crunch echoing through the clearing. Ryker’s whimpers were swallowed by the night, a testament to the pain he was enduring. Just as I felt a wave of despair wash over me, a flash of silver cut through the darkness. Aragon, his eyes burning with fierce determination, launched himself at Victor. His attack was a whirlwind of fury, a desperate gamble to save his friend. He landed a glancing blow to Victor’s side, the impact sending a shockwave through the air. Victor roared in pain, releasing Ryker, his attention now fully focused on the new threat.
The fight was on, the two alpha wolves locked in a dance of death.
Theld my breath, praying that Aragon’s strength would be enough.
The clearing was a whirlwind of motion, the air thick with the scent of pine and the metallic tang of blood. With a fierce cry that echoed through the ancient trees, Aragon clashed with Victor. Their claws, honed to razor sharpness, flashed in the moonlight, leaving streaks of crimson on their flanks. The ground trembled beneath their weight as they rolled, their struggle a violent ballet of desperation and raw power.
I watched, my heart pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs, as they fought for dominance. The air crackled with the tension of their battle, the silence broken only by the rasping of their breaths and the sickening thud of their bodies colliding. I could feel the heat of their struggle radiating through the clearing, a palpable force that seemed to suffocate the air itself.
Ryker, sensing the opportunity, took advantage of the distraction. With a guttural snarl, he surged forward, his body a projectile of muscle and fury. He slammed into Victor from behind, his teeth bared in a silent scream. The three of them, locked in a tangle of limbs and fangs, became a whirlwind of fur and fury. The earth beneath them churned, sending a spray of pine needles and dirt into the air.
The past, a dark tapestry woven with threads of fear and betrayal, unfurled before me. I remembered the countless times Victor had threatened Aragon, his malice a constant shadow over the pack. I remembered the whispers of dissent, the fear that had gripped us, the constant feeling of being on edge, always anticipating the next attack.
This fight, I knew, was more than just a battle for dominance. It was a fight for our future, for the very essence of our pack. It was a fight to determine who would lead us, and who would shape our destiny. Would it be Aragon, the noble and courageous, the one who had always fought for our protection? Or would it be Victor, the cunning and ruthless, the one who had always sought to exploit our weaknesses?
The outcome hung in the balance, a precarious weight that pressed down on my heart. I could feel the tension building, the air thick with anticipation. Each snap of teeth, each clash of claws, was a symphony

Aragon, however, was not one to be easily defeated. He recovered quickly, his instincts kicking in, and met Victor’s attack head–on.
