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
All night I spent agonizing over what I am going to ask Kiba and what his answers will be. I thought about just trying to get a favor from him instead of information but I really want that information of the night 10 years ago. No, I need the information. What really happened between him and my mother, did he really sell them out, how did my parents even get together?I am not sure if he can supply all of the needed answers but he does know them better than anybody else does. He might even know my grandmother if he had ties close to the witches back then. It is nice to know that Scarlett is my cousin but I constantly wonder about other family that I did not know about in the past. Are there others out there or are we all that is left of my family?As dawn draws nearer, I find it impossible to sleep so instead I get up to see if exercise will help to clear my mind. I know that I did yoga the other day but I want something a little more intense this time around. Yoga was
After talking to Skoll for a while I have a slightly new outlook on who Kiba is. While he is still just as dangerous as I originally thought, at least I know that he is not completely heartless. I am not entirely sure why he sold my parents out even though I heard what he said in the cottage before but that just does not add up with the man that Skoll just spoke of. Of course, he could have been sent to try to throw me off before I go to meet with his Alpha. When Dante finally wakes up, I head back into our bedroom to take a shower before our meeting. I want to have him thrown off but I do not want to make him sick after I have been sweating for the last couple of hours. Dante throws the covers off when I walk in the bedroom and rushes up to me like he is nervous. "Is everything okay? I woke up and you weren't here. You NEVER get up before me." He says half jokingly and half worried. "I am fine. I was just having problems sleeping so I decided to go and get a
Once we are finally finished with our shower we get ready to go meet Kiba. Kevin said that he is at the house that we loaned him expecting us. The walk is not a long one but we stop for coffee on the way. I am happy to say that I can finally order my own coffee without having to rely on somebody else. As we finish our walk, I sip happily on it until I remember what all I am hoping to learn today.Kiba answers the door right away and motions us in. As we walk in I can smell leftover takeout from the night before in the kitchen. None of those men can probably cook so they must have been living off of takeout ever since my heat started. Whoops."I would assume that you want to know what all I know about your parent's death since you won the tournament." Kiba says getting to the chase right away."Yes I would. By now, I am sure that you know who she is but I want to know more about what happened to them. Did the witches really kill them and why would they do that? W
"So, are you saying that instead of letting us live in your protection, you sent us out on our own with nobody to help us if things were to go wrong?" I ask indignantly."That was not my intention. I thought that if your location were to be kept a secret then you would all stay safe. I am still not sure how they got into my office to find the location but somehow somebody snuck in and found out where you were. I did not find out until it was too late and we could not help. I told everybody else that I gave up your location to keep the rest of the pack safe and to hide the fact that somebody managed to sneak into my office. I have a reputation as a fearsome, heartless alpha and I wanted to keep it that way so I just let everybody think that I sold your family out instead of having to admit that I had failed. I know that it wasn't the right thing to do but I could not let the pack think that I was growing weak. If that happened then I would not be able to find out who broke int
When we get back at the pack house Natalie is already there waiting for us. Unsure what all Dante has told her through mind link I let him begin. "Natalie, I am glad you got here quickly. I have an idea that I want to run by you but I want you to know that it is completely up to you and there is no pressure whatsoever to try and get you to choose either way." Dante says.Natalie, understandly, looks nervous at his statement but follows us inside nonetheless. I smile at her in what I hope is a reassuring way and run to get us all some drinks. When I get back I hand her a glass and sit down on the sofa across from where she is sitting."How are you feeling today?" I ask her politely."Not too bad. A little nervous at this point but before that I was feeling better than I have for a while. My morning sickness hit later in pregnancy than normal but luckily, I am starting to feel a little better today." She says rather nervously."Well, I wanted you to stop by
