Abby's POV
Kayla and I went to my room while our parents talked for most of the morning. We just talked about the upcoming fight and my birthday tomorrow until I receive a text from Adam.
A: Fight will be 6pm at the clearing. I have required all pack kids in high school to attend.
M: Thanks. I will let my dad and Kayla know.
A: You were right. She wanted to bring 2 friends who were human. I told her 1 friend who had to be a wolf. She chose Xavier. Are you sure about this?
M: Even better! I'm positive. She's trying to intimidate us before the fight even starts. She wants me to back out. She also wants to try to make sure she has the advantage. I'll be ready.
A: I hope so. I don'
I imagine you're asking how there is a clearing in the middle of a big city. Actually, it's not a real clearing. It's a spot in a local park where the local police department knows we do things like this. When our pack lets them know, they block it off so that no humans are allowed to go there. It's usually an area where human druggies go to get high, so they normally dismiss it as a bad trip if they stumble upon us. It's another safety issue for both us and the humans. After we eat, Kayla and I change into our matching butterfly leggings and black sports bras and do some warm-ups. At 5:30, we head over to the clearing and there is already a huge crowd forming. I start to get nervous and dad notices. He puts a hand on my shoulder and says, "This is what we've trained so hard for. If that girl in the middle is Dina, you got this. You've knocked me and Beau on our asses. You can definitely take her out. Just remember what we went through today in case she shifts". "I remember,
Adam POV Okay, my mate is a complete badass! Never, in a million years, did I expect what I just saw. She must have been training with her dad and Kayla's dad privately. A lot of those moves looked like their signature moves. I don't care how they trained, I'm just glad they did. "Are you sure about that?" Max asks, "you said you wanted a submissive mate. It looks like our mate is anything but submissive". "At this point, I don't care. So far, everything I'm seeing in her is perfect." I chuckle. I approach Abby and Kayla after they are done hugging their dads and say, "That was one of the quickest fights I have ever seen. You ladies made quick work of them. I was glad to see it. Xavier is going to catch hell at school tomorrow for getting his ass kicked by a sh
Abby POV It was almost 8 pm when we got home from the fight, and I was exhausted. Every time I feel this tired, I know I'm going to get a visit from the Moon Goddess in my dreams, The fact that it's this early, tells me she has a lot to talk to me about.I tell my parents goodnight and go to my room. I take a hot shower and let the steam relax my muscles for a bit. I get out of the shower and dry off. I walk into my room and put on a tank top and shorts. I brush out my hair and put it in a loose braid to keep it from tangling like crazy overnight. I brush my teeth and turn off my light and get in bed. I f
Adam POV I wake up to Max howling in my head, "Wake up! Time to go meet mate!" I smile and say, "Today is the day. Why do I have a bad feeling?" Max says, "maybe because she is too good for us? Maybe because your dad is being a dickwad? Could be any number of things. Let's get up and try though. At the very least we get to look forward to seeing her up-close and personal in that leather outfit". I get out of bed, already hard thinking about the outfit. "Good grief, Max, you couldn't wait to put that image in my head?" Max rolls his eyes, "Sorry dude. Sucks to be you right now". I force myself to think of boring things while I brush my teeth and get dressed for the day. I walk downstairs intending to just grab an apple for breakfast, but my dad is si
We walk into the gas station and Kayla says, "Pick your poison. I'm buying, birthday girl". I think pure chocolate is the best thing for me, so I grab a king size chocolate bar nothing else in it... just straight chocolate. Kayla looks at it and says, "You got it. I just hope you don't make yourself sick before the fun tonight." I shake my head as I wait for her to pay for it and say, "Not going to happen. I plan on trying to make this last all day". She laughs and we go to school. As soon as we walk into the school, everyone starts stepping around us. As we are walking down the hall to our lockers, it's looking like waves parting. I look at Kayla with confusion and she says, "The humans must've heard about us last night." I look around and say, "Oh well. I really don't care. It'll blow over". Just them I look up and see balloons. I get to my locker, and I have a huge sign on my locker that reads, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH! TODAY YOU DIE! I pull down the balloons and the
Adam POV Goddess it killed me to reject her. It made it even worse to hear her say she was expecting it and that no one wanted her. It also made me so mad at my dad, all I could see was red. Even Max was on the verge of taking over. I couldn't let that happen. I had to go talk to my dad. I was on my way home when I got a text from Abby. It was a picture of a sign that said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH. TODAY YOU DIE!" I knew who put it on her locker. If she didn't do it, she had someone do it. That's fine. Just one more thing I can show my dad. I had just gotten in my front door, when I got another text. This one from Kayla. It was a video of Dina trying to attack Abby with a hammer and Abby kicking her ass. I was so proud of her. We may not have that m
We just left St. Louis two hours ago and we are already at the school. It only took 20 minutes to get to Little Rock airport. When we got to the terminal, we saw signs with our fake names being held up. I walked up to him and said, "Cousin Gabriel?' He immediately wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug, "Thank Goddess you made it! I was so worried," then he looked at Kayla and said, "It's okay to relax now. We can protect her together. I have a car waiting. Do you have luggage to pick up"? We each held up a bag and I said, "No. We had to pack just the essentials. We are going to need to stop for some clothes for the next couple days until we can go shopping for a few more outfits". "Good," Gabriel said, "It's not good to continue hanging around here. Alpha Dakari can be ruthless when he wants to find someone bad enough". Kayla and I looked at each other in a panic. Gabriel shook his head and said, "don't worry. Your families are covered. We had our IT techs send each
I started to call my dad's usual number, then remembered that they both have new phones with new numbers. Gabriel added all the new numbers to mine and Kayla's phones, and I called my dad. M: "Hey dad! We just got to the pack lands. It's beautiful here"! D: "Honey, you may need to stay there a while. Dakari is going ape shit. He nearly killed Adam because he rejected you. I think he's pissed that he can't find where you went". M: "That makes no sense! Adam told me that he didn't want to reject me, but his dad was making him". D: "I know. Adam is in the pack hospital and your mother is taking care of him. Adam is telling your mother to tell you that you won't be safe here until his dad steps down or dies". M: "He's not planning on killing his dad, is he?" D: "He's not planning it, but the time may come when he has to defend himself". M: "Okay. Well, I guess that's all he can do if he wants the pack's loyalty when he takes
