Chapter 14
Kian’s POV Watching my sister literally smash in Matt’s face had been cathartic, he fucking deserved it
after what he did this morning. Fighting Galen had dragged on, we were matched on skill. Finally they
called it a tie, I accepted second rank because I was the younger twin. Our sister could have fought us
to get first Rank. Hell we would have given it to her, but she didn’t, she accepted third rank. She told us
it’s because she’s third born and liked the numerology. 5
She was going to take lead of her own Mountain Excavation Team, she’ll be finding the best place’s to
mine, deduce how much to mine before it becomes detrimental to the Mountain, mark the places that
need to be left alone with an estimation of
how long, and seeing to the cultivation of already mined spots.
Me and my brother were going to be enforcers, we planned to work our way through the ranks till we
reach the top. We’re going to be entering the Pack’s entry enforcer unit for training after this, if we can
maintain our top Ranking through all three fighting exams. I look over at our little sister and she’s
staring at her mate. He’s on the platform now. His moves are fast, fluid and damaging. I wasn’t sure of
him at first.
Then knowing what I know of Alora, and that he had stayed her friend through it all, started to alter my
mind. But watching him out there assures me that he would be able to adequately protect our sister,
solidifying my approval. I look over at Galen as he meets my eyes and nod’s
5:25
letting me know he approves as well.
Darien finished his opponent quickly, and made his way back to his seat. There was a moment of clean
up before the next match would begin. I look up at the board. Alora’s Picture and her wolf, the name
showed her wolf went by the name Xena. The look in their eyes and the way they posed spoke of
power. She was a woman you could devote your life to serving
It would be an honor to be assigned as this she wolf’s enforcer. She was going up against a close
cousin, Jaxon Mountainmover. The moment she steps up on the platform and readies herself for the
fight I could tell it was going to be quick. And it was, two hits was all it took. I look at my brother, he
looks just as shocked and amazed as I am
As the crowd starts roaring in appreciation I hear my sister say “Oh shit.” she looks at us. “Darien is
supposed to fight her next” her voice has a hint of hysterical horror. “Don’t worry little sis, they’ve been
best friends for forever now, I’m sure he’ll be fine.” She doesn’t look completely convinced. She looks
up and a look of confusion appears.
Looking up I see her mate looking worried and staring towards the reserve fighter class. I look in the
direction he is and my stomach clenches. Sarah looks insane with fury, the kind of insanity that speaks
of a rabid killer. “Shit.” that came from Galen, my sentiment exactly. “I’m worried for Alora.” my sister
says. “I think we have good reason to worry about her.” I tell them both.
I look back up to see Darien texting, the worried look still on his face.
Then he puts his phone away and seems to gather himself together, getting his mind back to whats on
the floor, the next match was between Mason and Jamison. My sister shakes me. “Look at Matt, he’s
noticed too.” I look over and sure enough he’s looking at Sarah. His fear is completely visible as he
stares, then he’s texting too.
After he texts, he looks at Alora with worry on his face, then back at Sarah with what I can only see as
resignation, he gets a text back, after reading it, his look changes to one of relief. I could tell the text
was not from Sarah, she hadn’t stopped glaring homicidally at Alora.
I wonder what he was texted. It obviously had to do with Alora. “Hey after this match there’s a thirty
minute break. I think Galen and I should find Alora and stick next to
her, Serenity you find Darien and both of you should come join us.”
“Ok, I planned on finding Darien after this anyway. But you know mom and dad are going to want to
see us, all three of us.” I look a Galen. “I’ll text them where we’ll be and we can have them wait with us
and Alora until you catch up to us with Darien.” He tells her, I nod in agreement. The match between
Mason and Jamison was won
by Jamison.
The next up where Jaxon and Lexus. Although Alora took out Jaxon with only two hits, he was an
amazing fighter. And now that he was back up he was able to beat Lexus, securing third rank in the
Alpha Class’s human form tournament. Now it was finally time for Darien and Alora’s fight.
I look up at Darien, whatever he was reading on his phone had taken allot
of the worry out of his expression. That was a good thing, distraction while fighting was dangerous. I
found that I was actually looking forward to watching them battle. I had a feeling it was going to be
unforgettable and epic. There where to be two more matches before theirs was to happen, we settled
in to watch. (2
Alora’s POV
I stretch, getting ready. Darien was no slouch as an opponent. But I was not first rank because he let
me. I was first rank because I was that good. I wasn’t going to hold back. I hadn’t been while training
with just Darien. He was good, really good. But I was still better, and we were going to give them a
show. Just the thought of the battle to come adrenalized me.
We make our way down to the Arena side by side. I can feel his excitement
as well. A battle aura is coming off of us in waves that was almost visible. I knew our eyes would be
glittering with Alpha glares. From the reactions of every wolf we passed we were intimidating. Some
even made submissive motions involuntarily.
We get to the Arena floor and make our way to the platform. I look over at Sarah, her face is almost
frothy with her rage. That made me smirk at her, which only made her twist her face more, she was
ugly with her anger, it had twisted her into something demonic. I look away and over at my parents.
Their faces twisted with angry disdain and outrage. My smirk turned into a full on smile, I could feel
Xena’s joy at their irritation. We would no longer bow to their dictates. After this battle I’ll ask the Alpha
if I can move in early. I really
couldn’t stand another night under their roof.
I face forward, the announcer having introduced us, we both take the same fighters stance. Then
comes the signal, and like a shot we’re off, moving at each other in blurs of speed. Kicks and punches
thrown without mercy, most blocked, the ones that landed powerful and damaging. We go on like this
for five, almost ten minutes.
Then he dropped his guard just a fraction, but it was enough to land a whip like kick to his chest
sending him flying back. He quickly spins landing on his feet, but I’m already there landing three
lightning fast kicks across his chest. I jump back before he can grab me. Then I dodge back in landing
a spinning kick across his shoulders knocking him forward and to his knees.
I jump on his back wrapping my legs around his arms pinning them to his body, then I wrap my arm
around his neck cutting of his air. He tries to stand but can’t then he flips us, my back on the platform
my hold was still firm. Finally after trying to slam me into the ground he taps out.
As soon as I let him go he rolls over and gasps for breath, coughing his face red. It takes him a minute.
Then he sits down on the platform, I had sat up to watch him after he had rolled off me. We look at
each other and laugh. I was declared the winner, my rank still secure. 2
We get up and dust off before getting down, I put my cardigan and my skirt back on. I look at Darien as
we make our way back to our seats. “What are you doing during the thirty minute break?” I ask him.
“My parents want to meet Serenity. They also want to
see you, so you have to come with me,” he tells me. “Really? Why do they want to see me?” I ask him.
“You’ll know when we see them.” His tone teasing. The ass. “This Means you’ll be meeting her parents
too you know.” I smile as I see him pale at that fact. Then I laugh as he starts looking panicked. “Stop
laughing at my expense.” He whines dramatically, making me laugh even harder.2
The Board is now displaying the new ranking for each fighters class according to the wins and losses
made in this portion of the tournament. Then we were released for our break after being advised of
what was next and how the fights would be conducted and what to expect. “Come on my parents have
a spot for us already picked out.”
He then stands and hollers for
spot for us already picked out.”
He then stands and hollers for Serenity to get her attention. We wait standing in front of our seat Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
waiting for Serenity to reach us. Her brothers following. Darien wraps an arm around his mate and
takes the lead, we leave as a group.
