 +=====Challenge & Dominance Fights=====
 +[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #5: [[Silver Borne]]
 +  * an Alpha can be challenged at any time<sup>221</sup>
 +  * the [[Marrok]] doesn't allow fights for an Alpha position without his consent<sup>221</sup>
 +  * not even fear of the Marrok can completely control the nature of the pack<sup>221</sup>
 +  * there is no tradition that dictates dominance fights have to be done in human form<sup>229</sup>
 +  * it is common though, because it makes the challenge more about skill and strength; when you are armed with fangs and claws, a lucky hit can take out a more skilled opponent<sup>229</sup>
 +  * traditional for the family of the Alpha to have the equivalent of ringside seats for the fight<sup>230</sup>
 +  * formality of running the challenge by the Marrok<sup>231</sup>
 +  * women don't fight in challenge fights<sup>231</sup>
 +  * the challenger must be within three ranks of the challengee<sup>232</sup>
 +  * the official code of conduct; says challenge within "three men" of your rank; it does not say that the challenger has to be a man<sup>234</sup>
 +
 +[[Mercy Thompson Series]] #9: [[Fire Touched]]
 +  * outside Alpha challenges were so unusual as to be almost unheard-of<sup>116</sup>
 +  * outside challenges usually came from lone wolves too dominant to be welcomed into a pack on their own<sup>116</sup>
 +  * one Alpha only challenged another when two packs were too close together—or if an Alpha had a personal vendetta against another<sup>116</sup>
 +  * such battles were supposed to be one-on-one, but, historically speaking, unless an Alpha was utterly useless, his pack would fight for him<sup>117</sup>
 +  * quite often both Alphas and most of both packs would die in the fight<sup>117</sup>
