I turn over and grab my phone and hit snooze on my alarm. Had that whole thing just been a dream?'Yes it was and it was a spicy one. I'm not complaining.' Aerona said saucily.'It felt so real. I swear I can still feel his touch.' I touch my lips where I could still feel the lingering sensation of his lips pressing against my so passionately and dominately.I wish it had been real and not only a dream. I hadn't realized how badly I wanted my mate until this moment. I kept trying to convince myself that I would be okay with him deciding he didn't want me. Now I knew I had to do whatever was necessary to have him accept me and complete our mating.'Atta girl! She's baaaaack!' Aerona says in a sing-song voice.I can't help but laugh at her. She was right though. My confidence in myself had gone severely downhill since meeting Asher and it was time for all of that to stop. I needed to show him the she-wolf I truly am. I lay there thinking about the dream and unable to get over how very
Asher POVI walk into the room and my eyes instantly find her. She is beautiful, there's no doubt about that. I can't seem to keep myself from looking for her every time I step into a room. I watch her as her eyes scan my body appreciatively which makes Thor hum with delight.'Do you see the way her eyes are admiring us?' He asks me hungrily.'I do, but we have more important matters to take care of, Thor.'I walk into the dining room and over to the food table and begin dishing myself my breakfast. I make myself a hearty breakfast burrito. After my morning of training I am hungry and I don't plan on joining the fighting this morning during training. I want to stand and assess the fights, making my own notes of her and her warriors.I glance over at Signe and her warriors still sitting at the table clueless as to what is going on this morning after breakfast is over. I grab a large glass of orange juice and head to my usual table where my brother and mother are already sitting."Good
Signe POVAfter Asher left I got up and went over to get food. He wasn't wrong, I needed to eat. It was the fact that he had whispered in my ear the way he did that has me completely thrown off. After I finish eating I get up to leave the dining room and each of my warriors stands with me. I head over to where Alex is sitting alone at a table."Good morning again, Alex." I say with a smile."How can I be of service, Signe?" Alex replies and takes a swig of his orange juice."I was hoping you wouldn't mind showing us where the training grounds are. I don't want to be late and I'd like to stretch and limber up before our...training begins."Alex smirks at me and just shakes his head. "I don't mind at all." Alex gets up from his seat and comes to stand next to me. "You ready to go Siggy baby?"It was cute when he called me that earlier this morning, but to call me that in front of my warriors felt a bit degrading."I'm sorry Beta Alex. I think I missed that last part." I challenge him a
Signe POV'Of course he would choose us first. He's most intimidated by what he doesn't know.' Aerona states as she paces back and forth in my mind.'Well, then no time like the present to make sure that he has no choice but to know who we are through and through.' I spit out. I'm upset that he threw me into the ring first. I wanted to watch my warriors fight first so that I myself could fully asses their abilities against his warriors before I had the chance to fight."Gladly." I smirk back at Asher hiding my own anger and his smile disappears from his face. If he thought he was going to intimidate me or put me in my place, he had another thing coming. "Who would you like to fight first?" Asher questions me and gestures to the group furthest to my left.So I had been right. That was the platinum level fighter group. I wanted so badly to say that I wanted to face off against one of their she-wolves so I could give them an opportunity to show off their own skills, but I also didn't
Signe POV The platinum ranked fighter steps into the circle and he smiles at me. It’s a cocky smile. One that tells me that he thinks he’s got this in the bag. “Are you ready little wolf?” Yep…he’s cocky alright. “Ready when you are sugar plum.” I give him an innocent smile that he doesn’t return. I’ve upset him with my little pet name. Little does he know, I’m about to completely wipe the floor with him and being upset will be the least of his concerns. I start to size him up. He’s probably about six foot one or two. I’d say about 225 pounds and muscles as big around as my head. He’s pacing back and forth waiting for the signal for our fight to begin. I watch how he walks hoping to gain some insight to any persistent injuries or favoring of one side of his body or the other. I see none. Ok. So I guess I was going to have to use my speed and agility to the best of my ability for this fight. I look over to Asher who looks like he has moved past his anger. Damn. I’ll have
Signe POV I walk back into the circle awaiting my next opponent. I know this fight will be more difficult because he will have already seen my first fight and will have an idea of what I’m capable of. I rub my temples willing my headache to go away so that my mind will be completely clear and I will be able to focus. I regret throwing my water bottle back to Gabe amidst all of my flirting with Asher. I should have brought it with me. I hear footsteps getting closer to the ring. I take a deep breath to help prepare myself for this next battle. I turn around and I am shocked by what I see. It’s the only female warrior from the diamond level warriors. I can’t help it as I beam at her. For them to acknowledge her as their number one ranked fighter in her level was an amazing feat in its own, no matter what pack you’re in. She smiles back at me. As happy as I am to be fighting against another female warrior, I know I can’t treat her any differently. I won’t be naive and under
Signe POV I follow Asher all of the way to the circle. He stops at the edge and turns, waiting for me to catch up to him. “Is everything okay, Alpha?” “It’s not too late to back out of this fight. There’s no disgrace in that, Signe. I really don’t want to hurt you.” I was touched by his words and his concern for me, but I needed to prove to him I wasn’t some lowly and incapable she-wolf. “Backing out isn’t an option for me.” I say softly and reach out to touch his arm. The sparks shoot through me. I know how difficult this is going to be if I feel this amazing sensation throughout my body each time we touch. He doesn’t remove my hand from his arm but he does look down at it. He stands there staring for some time before he looks at me and smiles. “I will agree to hold back and not use all of my alpha strength, then.” His words light a renewed fire in me. He thinks he's doing me a favor by offering to take it easy on me, when what he is really doing is cutting a low blow at
Signe POVI watch Asher as he makes his way towards me from the other side of the circle. He's fast for his size, I will give him that. I wait and watch trying to figure out what his move will be. I've decided it's best for me to stay on the defensive to start out until I can get a read on him. Asher is still running straight at me and I watch his arm swing around towards my chest keeping his pace. I drop to the ground just as his fist was about to connect with my chest. He was going straight for the take down. 'He's trying to get this over and done with.' Aerona growls. 'He won't defeat us that easily.'Asher turns back around and for a brief second I see the shock in his eyes. He had fully expected to make contact with me. He looks up at me and I give him a quick smile and stick my tongue out at him. I should've just said, 'na na na boo boo, you can't catch me,' and really just committed one hundred percent to the childish act I had just performed. I mentally slapped myself in the
