I walk up to Dante before entering the ring. "Are you ready to kick his ass, beautiful?" He asks me.
Smiling, I reply, "You know it, I would not let him beat me. I plan on winning this entire tournament."
"Well, until you get to me, of course. There is no way that you could beat me." He says flirtatiously.
"We will see about that. Sit down and watch me win this." I say back with a wink.
He kisses my forehead before moving over to his seat to spectate. Kiba is sitting forward in his seat with a hunger in his eyes that I cannot understand. Is it for the violence and bloodshed that is going on around him or is it something else that has him enamored?
Squaring up with his Beta, we knock gloves and begin to circle each other. I do not want Kiba know my strength until his match with me at the end so I do not want to go on the offensive yet. It does not take long for his Beta to throw a punch at me which I easily block and return the favor. I hit hi
The next wolf that I am to fight I have not actually met before. I believe that he was in the group that went to look for Quin with us when he was attacked by the witches. So far, I have liked the wolf even though I do not know much about him. He listened well to what Dante told him to do but I do not know much more about him to have an opinion on him.We start to circle each other, and he looks a little nervous about fighting his Luna. I have heard that most of the warriors think that Kevin has been exaggerating my skills since I am Luna so he is most likely afraid that he will hurt me. As I wait for his attack, I notice that a lot of our pack has gathered around to watch what happens.Finally, he dives at me and tries to get a low punch to the abdomen in but I turn sharply and bring my knee up into his gut instead. He starts to cough a little but starts circling again right away. This time, I feignt to the left before bringing my right foot around for a r
As the heat slowly begins to fade, I get more and more worried about Dante. Why haven't I seen or heard from him yet? Where could he be? I have faith that he is not injured because I am sure that I would know about it, but what could be keeping him?After what feels like an eternity, I start to shiver and pull myself out of the bathtub. With the heat gone, I find that I can finally stand up without my legs giving out, so I peel off my drenched clothes before grabbing a fluffy robe to throw on and walking towards the bed again. I am exhausted after that. From what I was told my heat takes up to 3 days though so it can't be over yet. Is it going to be more of the same or will it be different from what just happened.Remembering that I can mind link Dante, I say, "Dante? Are you okay? I expected you to be back here by now.""I am fine. I will be back soon. Just making sure that there is nobody else hiding in here. I found 4 wolves hiding in here waiting
The sandwiches eventually got eaten after we had another round of burning calories. Once I wake up again from my next nap, I notice that I feel a little different than after the last few naps. This time, I feel lighter and more energized. Poor Dante is still passed out on the bed, not even stirring. I must have worn the poor guy out.Hopefully, this is a sign that my heat is ending. As I get up and stretch, I notice that the sun is just now coming up over the horizon. Day 3, I have hopes to be able to get out of this room and maybe even this house today.It might be best to take a shower after all of this bedroom activity I have been doing lately. I grab some comfy clothes and head into the bathroom. As I start the shower I hear Dante start to stir. I was trying to let him rest a little longer but he could definitely use a shower as well so I step in and start shaving before he can join me."Hey there beautiful. Feeling better I take it?" He asks ste
Thankfully, I made it all of the way to lunch without any more episodes signalling that my heat was still going so Dante made a dinner reservation for us. I cannot wait to get out of this house! It might have only been 3 days but it feels almost like a life time. While I did love having the time with just Dante, I did not like the way my body had a life of it's own the entire time. I am ready to get back to normal. Well, normal for me that is.For dinner, we head out to the Italian Restaurant that we have begun to grow so fond of lately. The fresh air helps to clear my head and invigorate me once again. As we sit at the table eating, I can see the rest of the pack eyeing me curiously. They must all be wondering if I am going to have an episode again since we have left the pack house so soon.Dinner tastes even better after being locked in that house for a while. As I eat, I realize that I am moaning out loud and not just in my head. Slightly ashamed, I glance around bu
That was the best bet to have ever lost. I am not entirely sure that I tried to win it though. It was far too much fun to lose. By the time we fall asleep it is only a few hours before dawn. Today is the day that I end up kicking Kiba's ass in the finals of the tournament so that I can hopefully gain more information from him. First though, we have the semi finals.The semi finals are going to consist of me vs my wonderful mate, and Kiba vs one of our other warriors. Soon, we will know exactly who is the better fighter. Me, or Dante. Kiba is in the first match though so we sit back to watch and look for any potential weaknesses. So far his only down fall seems to be his complete brutality in the ring. He does not seem to be worried about getting injured and just goes all out no matter who the opponent.As he steps into the ring, he glances at me before taking his place. I am not sure what the glance is supposed to mean but he either seemed concerned or curious. H
Dante and I climb into the ring right before our match is supposed to start. We may have gotten a little distracted just now but it is time to shake that feeling off and focus on our match. Finally, I get to test myself against my mate to see who is the better fighter."Are you ready beautiful?" Dante asks."Oh yeah, just promise me one thing." I say back."What's that?" He asks sounding confused."Don't hold back just because I am your mate." I say.At that he chuckles before nodding as we bump gloves to signal the start of the match. I can feel the entire pack's eyes on us as we get ready to spar. From the corner of my eye, I can see bets being made on who will come out victorious. Kiba's gaze is searing on me while he watches me get ready to fight my own mate.I swing slightly at Dante just to see how quickly he reacts but he just bats my fist away lazily before returning the blow. I bat it away just as easily and we trade blows back and
The time for the match between Kiba and I is intense. He did not expect me to attack as soon as the match started which gives me an advantage. In every match that I saw of his, he was always the first to attack so hopefully, I can use this to win the tournament.As I lunge at him, he twists early to try and dodge it but I swtich course and bring my fist into his ribs harder than I probably should have. He does not even grunt or act like I managed to get a hit on him. The only sign that he noticed is the slightly raised eyebrow as he looks at me in surprise. I keep up my attack so that he does not get the upper hand again.By now I am sure that he has seen me leg sweep a few people so I do not want to use that move unless I have to. Relying mostly on my fists, I keep hitting him with a speed which he cannot match. The most he manages to do is to block about half of the punches that I send his way. I can see him getting aggitated at not being able to attack me as I keep
The doctor gets done taking an x-ray of my foot and declares that the bone had already started healing crooked so he sadly had to rebreak the toe before it could heal fully. It hurts worse when you know it is going to happen than when in the middle of a fight. Luckily, the adrenaline had not fully worn off or else I am sure that it would have hurt a whole lot worse."You are amazing, just so you know." Dante says yet again as we are waiting for the bone to set enough to finally leave."You have said that recently you know. I would almost think that you are were lying when you said that I would be able to beat him." I say."What? Never. I had full faith in you the entire time. I did not have full faith in him keeping it clean. You managed to keep him on his toes so much that he never had a chance to pull out anything low like that. I am pretty sure that you broke a few more of his bones than he did of yours." He says with a chuckle."That is tr
"Wait, you can do that?" Frank asks shocked. "Yes, of course I can. It is not something that I have done often, actually only one other time but it is an option. It is one that terrifies her." I admit. "Who did you do it to before?" Rand asks me. "I did it to Morden. There was no other way to stop her from coming after my pack or my family." I answer simply. "Your grandmother said that Simonetta was behind that the entire time. That only makes it right that she gets the same punishment if not worse than what Morden received." Rand points out. I had not thought of it that way but it is true. Still, we need to have a system set up for something like this. Otherwise, there will always be somebody that takes advantage of the power and that is not something that I can condone. "That is very true. I had not thought of that but this is not a decision to be made lightly. There might be longer reaching consequences that even I am not aware of by using this ability. Still, I see no other o
It did not take long at all for the Hybrid Council to arrive. They all file in looking a little shocked to see Simonetta there, unable to use her magic as she floats slightly in the air. Quickly, they find their seats. Then, both Rand and Frank walk in as well. I had not thought of inviting them but I am glad that Dante did. With how long she terrorized their pack it is only fitting that they are here for this as well.I smile at them all as they whisper among themselves for a few moments. This is a bit of a shock for those that were not here to see Simonetta arrive. For Frank and Rand, they finally see their enemy tied up and floating in the air. They are not aware that I can take away her ability to use magic so this is going to be a shock to them when the meeting starts. "I take it you called us all here for a reason?" Elle says once everyone starts to calm down."Yes, I did. As everybody here knows, Simonetta has caused quite a few problems for us. She has terrorized werewolves,
Simonetta rushes towards me using wind to guide her speed. It is not enough to throw me off guard though and I shove a wall of dirt up in front of me. She almost crashes into it before she is able to skid to a stop at the last second. If she had prepared then she might have been able to use the air that was helping her speed up to me to jump over the wall but instead, she is used to using her other powers for combat and did not make the decision in time.As soon as she begins to stop, I tear down the wall and shift into werewolf form quickly to land on top of her with my teeth to her neck. Out of all of the forms that I could have turned into this was the only one that registered as an option. I would like for her to see the one thing that she thinks is beneath her be the thing that brings her down. For once, she surprises me when she throws me off of her with some air. I quickly flip over and land on my paws. I shift back and face her again. She is breathing hard and I find myself a
As soon as my illsuion drops I see Simonetta's face blanche. Chelsea drops to the ground and has it swallow her up as she falls through it to meet the others. I send her a brief thank you as she helps to keep them all safe from whatever back up plan Simonetta could have.She sends me a sad farewell. Apparently she is worried about whether or not I am going to make it out of this one. I might not have used much magic recently but I guarantee that there is no way I will let her get away with this threat. Today, she is going to go down and she is not going to be a threat to anybody with werewolf blood ever again."Wait, you had the baby? No! You can't have had it already!" She screams in rage."Actually, I can. There was nothing stopping me from having it. There is also nothing in the way of me putting a stop to you and your bullying once and for all" I say. She takes a few steps back as she steels herself for what we bothk now is going to happen next. It is a shame that the rest of the
"Why would she ever want to go with you?" I ask Simonetta in shock."I am sure that she can see the benefits when she realizes that if she doesn't then she will never get to meet the bundle of joy in your stomach. I will personally make sure that you are unable to deliever them. After all, the more powerful the babes the less the mother can use magic so I am sure that you are not able to defend yourself very well." Simonetta says triumphantly.I try my best to look worried. I really do. I find that it is difficult to be worried about her though. She has never really had a lot of sway over me. Even when I first realized how much stronger than her I am I had found it difficult to be scared of her. "You really think that I am afraid of you? Even without being able to use my powers you do not worry me. I have plenty of other witches that are able to come and help me." I say."Not before something bad happens to you. Chelsea, I would hate to see for anything bad to happen to Laina. I just
Each team splits up and gets ready to make their way through the obstacle course. They are all going to have to take turns trying to make it through safely. Each team has a designated amount of time before they get elminated. The one that makes it through the fastest and with the least amount of mistakes, will be the ones to win the competition. The course is very similar to the one that we did with the entire pack when we first started training. The one that really got the women moving faster as they fought to make good time through the course to beat the men. This one is just a little more geared towards children and not fully grown adults.Some of the obstacles are smaller to better accomodate their size, some things are closer together and they have even added some new obstacles that would have been difficult for the adults. There are also some obstacles that are going to require teamwork to make it through. If they do not work together then they have no hope of making it to the
It takes much longer than planned to get the babies ready for travel. I have never packed a diaper bag before but luckily Scarlett shows up to help me get them ready and squeal over the twins for a minute. Or more precisely, several minutes."I can't believe that they are finally here! I swear it felt like your pregnancy was never going to end. Every time that I thought you were going into labor and you never did. Yesterday, I had no idea that you were going into labor. How did you keep that from me?!" She says to me."It was not exactly on purpose. I did not even know that I was in labor until I spoke to Dante and then Elle confirmed it. It was a really odd day. We had a lot that happened that day so I thought that everything I was feeling was just from stress." I admit to her."Ha! For once, I could have answered that if you had just talked to me. Instead, you have me doing made up jobs with you to help me out." She says excitedly.I shake my head as she begins showing me exactly h
The first night with the babies was quite a bit of a learning curve. Whenever we put them in their bassinets they just started to cry nonstop until we picked them up again. It took a couple of hours to find out that if we put them into the same bassinet they were able to sleep peacefully and not wake us up. By the time we managed learning that, I was beyond exhausted and ready to sleep. Thankfully, there was more than enough people in the house to help us out throughout the night.When I wake up I find that Dante is already standing over their bassinet watching them sleep. They have managed a few hours of sleep straight which for me was quite shocking considering that they are newborns. "How are they?" I ask him sleepily.Chelsea decided to sleep on one of the loveseats last night as well. She was just too excited to go to sleep in her bedroom after I had the babies. I do not blame her but as she shifts when I start talking I do realize that that might have been a mistake. She is goi
Chelsea comes running in once the babies start to cry for food. Her face is filled with excitement as she rushes over to me. Even though they are hungry, I allow her to hold and rock Caterine while I first feed Archer. I might get good enough to be able to feed them both at once in the future but for now feeding just one is tricky. I never knew that it could be this hard to feed a baby."Hi Caterine, I am your Aunt Chelsea. We are going to be best friends. You are going to get to go to school with werewolf pups and use magic. It is going to be wonderful. I can't wait to teach you everything that I know." Chelsea coos to the baby making all of us smile.It is a good thing that she already has so much experience being around babies because she does a great job holding Caterine while Archer is feeding. She does sit down though as she looks at her. Even though Caterine was crying just a moment ago from hunger, she is now looking at Chelsea with wide eyes. Werewolf pups have much better ey
