“Some of them are good people.Maybemore would be without Alpha Allen to run things and punish them.”Bindi speculated.

“Another yes.Are you willing to risksomething to do the right thing?”

“I am, but not you.There’s no way Icould risk you.”

“You need to have faith.So, we’llconsider that a yes.Mostly yeses and one maybe.”

“I’d fight him myself.”

“Female wolves can’t beat a male.Youwouldn’t be allowed to fight.”Duroc explained.

“It has to be you?”

“Yes, it does.”

“That scares me.I don’t want to loseyou.”Bindi admitted.

“Wolves fight, alphas fight more.Youknow we risk our lives everyday when we work for Tyne.”

“I know, but it’s not the same to headinto it knowing someone is going to die.No one challenges him,there’s a reason.He won’t fight fair.”

“We’ll all be looking for that.”Durocoffered.

“I believe you want to dothis.”

“Admittedly, I hate what this male hasbeen doing to his pack and fear whoever takes over will go back tothat.My plan never included being a pack alpha, but my fathertrained me to be exactly that if necessary.”

“That makes me the weak link.”Bindiobserved.

“No, never.You’re just untrained butsome things come naturally.The care and concern is already there.We have one chance, take it or leave it, but there is achoice.”

“I’m scared.”She looked up at himwith tears in her eyes.

Duroc pulled her into a tight embrace.“You’d be crazy if you weren’t.”

“You’re waiting for me to decide?Can’t we just put it off?”

“Sorry, baby.They are waiting.”Durocmentioned.

“You really think we can dothis?”

“Absolutely.There is nodoubt.”

“Okay, but if you lose, I’ll killyou.”Bindi threatened.

“Agreed.We’d best go tell them sothey can get their plan in place.”

“Let’s go.”

Duroc took her hand and led her backto the living room where the others were talking.“Have you made adecision yet?”Damon asked.

“We’re willing to try.”

“Good, I’m happy to hear it.We needto give the challenge now.The rules have changed and an heirapparent to an alpha can now watch a challenge so Tramp will gowith you as will I.Tyne will be there to watch for any cheating.Ibelieve Al will call the alphas above and below.”

“Okay.When will the fight be?”Bindiasked.

“I’ll call him now and the fight willbe tomorrow afternoon.That way he shouldn’t have time to plananything.”
