Alpha Fight

When someone wants to challenge the alpha they can fight for dominance. The alpha cannot refuse a fight but usually scares the challengers to back down or hunt them away. The fight is held on a starless night, preferably s new moon symbol for a new alpha or new secure rule. The fight is only between the two wolves and it cannot be intervened by anyone else. On the alphas part it’s a fight till death or victory, he cannot give up. The challenger can back out if he wants to but may also fight till death if he doesn’t kill the alpha and turns out victorious. An old alpha might give up the pack to a challenger but he cannot refuse a fight to show who deserves to be alpha. It’s often fought in wolf form but modern ways might be human or both forms. That is established before the fight though, making the rules clear.

Execution

The challenger must challenge the alpha and he has to accept. The fight is arranged and the whole pack are there but cannot intervene in the fight. It goes on until death, defeat or victory is established. The alpha cannot back down if he doesn’t submit willingly, otherwise he has to fight for it. The fight is often in wolf form but that is decided before the fight takes place.

Components and tools

The new moon and clear night sky allows the Moon Goddess to observe but not intervene in the justice, she is said to be to soft hearted. The new moon is also a symbol for the newly established power that will be proved that night with the fight.
