Selene arrives at the training grounds of the Golden Moon Pack beside the Mansion of the Alpha Prince, she immediately approached Caleb, Commander of the warriors of Golden Moon Pack and member of the Executive Officers of the Alpha Prince.

So, everyone around became curious of what is about to happen. Among the crowd was Lance, Scarlett, Jane, Oliver, and some students from their class who signed up to be trained to become warriors of the Golden Moon Pack. Everyone was wearing their training suits.

​​

Lance was the only one who is not a senior student among the Trainee warriors. Being the younger brother of Caleb, he is personally trained by his older brother to be a strong warrior for the Golden Moon Pack.

Every warrior waited in anticipation to what was Selene intending to do.

Then, something was about to take place that no one expected.

"I want to challenge Caleb in a duel for a promotion rank." Selene issued blatantly.

Loud expression of surprise and astonishment were being thrown.

A challenge for a promotion rank never happened in the Golden Moon Pack because every warrior knows how strong Caleb is. Only the Alpha Prince defeated Caleb while Garrett, the Beta of the pack, is equally tied in strength with Caleb.

Though, Garrett concedes that Caleb is the second to the Alpha in terms of physical strength and martial arts expertise but in terms of the totality of over-all battle prowess which includes mental fortitude, strategy, weapon skills, hyper-senses, assistance, and coordination. Caleb falls [4th] among the ranks of Executive Officers in over-all battle prowess.

The challenge for a promotion rank can either be rejected or accepted. It was only created for the sole purpose to encourage every warrior to get stronger.

Both Oliver and Jane went immediately to Caleb. They wanted Caleb to reject it since the three of them are aware of Selene's connection with Prince Alcyd.

Oliver and Jane do not want to be reprimanded once their Alpha Prince finds out that his mate got hurt if Caleb gets serious.

Before they get to talk to Caleb,

"I accept!" Caleb's reply.

Thunderous reactions reverberated all over the training ground.

It was the first time for everyone to witness a challenge issued especially towards the Commander of the warriors of the Golden Moon Pack.

Oliver, Gamma of the Golden Moon Pack and the current in-charge of the pack while their Alpha Prince not around, is surprised that Caleb accepted the challenge. He is also worried about what will their Alpha Prince do once he finds out that his mate gets hurt by Caleb.

Other warriors start to gather around Selene and Caleb.

"The rules are simple, only physical strength and skills can be used. No other abilities can be used, especially your spirit wolf cannot take over. ONLY! Physical strength and skills. The first person to give up loses." Jane reminds Selene and Caleb.

Both Selene and Caleb positioned themselves in their fighting stance.

"Ready… Fight!" Jane signaled the start of the showdown.

Caleb threw the first attack.

Selene immediately evaded all Caleb's punches swiftly. Her movement was too quick and everyone can see her move lightly. She was prancing lightly like a feather.

Everyone thought and whispered how will she land a damaging blow that will prompt her victory if she is too light.

They did not think Selene would have enough strength to defeat Caleb.

Lance knows that his older brother is not being easy on Selene. He can see his older brother throwing punches and trying to take down Selene seriously.

Then, Selene found an opening and sent a powerful kick on Caleb's side. Caleb felt a strong pressure on his left rib cage.

A smile formed on Selene's face since she knows that Caleb underestimated her real physical strength.

Now, everyone is silent and focused on the match because Selene has shown impressive performance.

'You can do it, Selene! This one is small fry.' Sylvia, the spirit wolf of Selene, confidently cheers Selene.

'He is not a small fry. He is strong and a tough one, I must say! Underestimating him will be our downfall.' Selene's reminder to her spirit wolf.

Exchange of blows were being thrown. Everyone is eagerly watching the powerful kicks and punches that Selene is throwing but Caleb is blocking them perfectly as if it is nothing until he also finds a chance to launch a powerful blow of Selene's abdomen region.

Oliver wanted to help Selene but Jane stopped him. Oliver immediately understood why Jane stopped him.

In every official duel match that has been officially set, all werewolves must abide and respect both werewolves that are fighting for the honor and respect in the pack.

Not only for promotional rank match or challenge, but werewolves in Golden Moon Pack resolve their differences or arguments through a duel match. The victor in the duel will earn more respect and gains the honor to declare themselves the winner in any argument or squabble.

That is why Oliver understood well enough as Jane stopped him that they should not intervene or else Selene will never forgive them both.

It is another thing if their future Luna will not forgive them for their insolence and disrespect for the honor that she wants to earn from the other warriors of the Golden Moon Pack.

The Gamma of the Golden Moon Pack, Oliver, is the most intelligent and the strategist among the Executive Officers of the Alpha Prince. He may be the youngest male Executive Officer of Prince Alcyd but he is {5th} among the ranks of Executive Officers.

Senior students or the {Trainee-Ranked} warriors are starting to cheer for Selene while the other {Elite-Ranked} warriors cheering for Caleb to defeat Selene.

Different cheers were resonating all over the entire training grounds.

'End it already, Selene! Looks like he wants to burn our stamina out. We need to do a finishing move!' Sylvia, Selene's spirit wolf, advised the best way for Selene to do.

Selene tried to use her opening to bait Caleb into throwing another strong blow which he completely did.

As soon as Caleb threw his strong punch towards Selene, everyone was surprised how Selene anticipated the attack and grabbed Caleb's arm. She used her full strength to throw Caleb's body on the ground and made a last swift strike towards Caleb's neck. Then, stopping her own hand as it touches Caleb's skin.

"I win!" announced by Selene.

Caleb knew that it's over since he got out-maneuvered by Selene. Even though he was not able to call surrender but he has to admit his own defeat because it was a clear fatal move that would end his life if only Selene had not stopped herself.

"I acknowledge defeat!" admitted by Caleb with dignity and respect for their future Luna, Selene.

"Victor of the duel, Selene!" Jane announces as she raises Selene's arm.

Then, everyone cheered Selene while others gushed that someone actually won against Caleb.

Lance was the most shocked but everything went slow for him as Selene gleamed and radiated with beauty. It was his first time to see Selene in a different light ...

Outrageously beautiful ...

Thus, Selene has won the challenge match for -Promotional Rank- …

Selene silently ponders to herself and to Sylvia, her spirit wolf, which could hear her own thoughts.

That Phase 1 of her plans is now complete…

Now, time for Phase 2 of her plans for the changes that she wants to implement around the Golden Moon Pack.

'Let the change begin!' Selene's declaration.
