I dodged Silas's claws by inches as blue light burst from my belly. The light formed a shield between us, pushing the charging Alpha backward. He crashed into the stone table where the other pack leaders sat watching in shock.
"What is this?" Silas roared, his eyes wild with rage and fear.

Elder Malin stepped forward, his old eyes wide. "The cubs... they're already showing powers. This has never happened before."
Silas got to his feet, brushing off his clothes. "This changes nothing. The challenge has been made and must be answered." He looked around at the other Alphas. "By our oldest laws, I challenge this omega for leadership of all packs!"
"She's pregnant," argued a female Alpha I didn't know.
