*Zyder*

Two white wolves were pacing around each other in slow circles. Their eyes as yellow as the sun, glaring, measuring each other's moves. Their fangs were bared, glinting under the spotlight. Their claws making long scratches on the floor.

The bell rang and they pounced in each other, trying to ripped each other's limbs, doing their best to claw each other's throat.

Zeke managed to slash Zyder's chest, making a gash of wound, blood dripping in every corner. Zyder jumped back, looking angrier than before. He snarled at Zeke and in the speed of light, he attacked.

Zyder swung his paw, nails ready, towards Zeke's jaw. He managed to give the latter a deep cut starting from his jaw to his cheek.

Zeke growled. They didn't stop attacking each other. No one wanted to back down. No one wanted to stop.

With one swift move, Zyder slashed Zeke's chest and using the latter's distraction, he bit its neck. Hindi niya inalis ang pagkakakagat niya kahit na panay ang kalmot sa kanya ni Zeke.

Zeke managed to bite back. Kagat nila ang isa't-isa. Hindi nila inalis 'yon kahit na pareho nang nagdudugo ang leeg nila.

Zyder bit harder until Zeke cried out, can't bare the pain any longer. Zyder got the chance to gave another slash to Zeke's open wound in his chest.

Zeke growled and fell to the floor, panting, eyes drooping.

For the final blow, Zyder pounced on Zeke and slash his other jaw with his nails as sharp as knife. With that, Zeke lay helplessly on the floor, can't move anymore. The referee went to check on hin and shook his head.

The bell rang once again, indicating the brawl was finished. The defeaning sound of crowd's cheer resonated around the room.

Dumating na ang medics. Binuhat nila si Zeke at inilagay sa stretcher. Kahit na naghihilom nang mabilis ang sugat ng isang werewolf, mapapatagal ang kay Zeke dahil masyadong malalim ito.

Hinawakan ng announcer ang braso ni Zyder. "THE NEW LEADER OF THE PACK, ZYDER WOLFERT!"

They shouted once again. Nagsipatakan ang mga lobo at confetti at sinapawan ng malakas na tugtog ang sigawan ng mga manonood.

Nilapitan ni Zyder si Zeke. Bago ibaba ito sa ring ay hinawakan niya ang kamay nito.

Ngumuti si Zeke sa kanya kahit na mukhang mawawalan na siya ng malay. "Ikaw na ang bahala sa pack."

Ngumiti lang si Zyder at tumango. Alam niya kung gaano pinapahalagahan ng kuya niya ang pack kaya hinding-hindi niya ito bibiguin.

Napuno ang ring ng mga pack members na gusto siyang batiin pero mabilis din siyang umalis. Gusto na niyang umuwi para makapagpahinga. Naghahalo na din ang amoy ng dugo, pabango at pawis sa kanyang katawan. Dumeretso na siya sa kwarto niya. Naabutan naman niya doon si Juss.

"Again, congratulations." Itinaas ni Juss ang hawak niyang lata ng beer para iabot kay Zyder.

Kinuha ni Zyder ito. He opened it with a pop and made a swish sound. "Ugh, I'm tired," Umupo siya sa couch at sumandal. Hindi na gaanong mahapdi ang mga sugat niya dahil unti-unti na itong naghihilom. "Damn, my bones are aching."
