Chapter Are You Up To The Challenge
After the movie was over, we all crashed on the couch. It was already late and I knew training would be horrible tomorrow because of the lack of sleep I'd be getting but hanging out with them was worth it. I closed my eyes and soon I was dreaming of the forest. I loved how the dirt felt underneath my paws, how the cool, crisp, autumn air felt when it bristled my fur and how I loved napping in the fallen leaves that had gathered beneath the trees. It was a well known fact that I couldn't wait to get out of here as soon as I could but those plans changed the moment I was forced to take over the pack.
I was a wild wolf and the only thing that I wanted more was to be able to run free but with me set to take over at the end of the year I was never going to get the opportunity. I never wanted this and I still don't really know if I ever will. I know I should have talked to my father about it but the fact that he always looked at me with disappointment when I brought it up made me chicken out.
My alarm blared in my ear and I grumbled as I got up from the couch. I changed into some clothes that I found in Kam's closet then looked at my watch. I was supposed to meet Adam at the training grounds in 10 minutes and if I was late he would surely take it out on me. He was our best warrior and my dads Beta so he never went easy on me. I jogged down the hill to the death circle and had just started stretching when I saw Adam coming over with a cocky grin on his face. He stopped right in front of me and crossed his arms over his chest.
"I heard you girls stayed up late last night. I hope that doesn't interfere with your training!" He said as he walked over grabbing the k tape.
I laughed at his insinuation and said "Like staying up all night would really keep me from kicking your ass!"
"Well then I guess I shouldn't worry too much since you aren't fighting me today anyway!"
I raised my eyebrows at his comment. No one ever dared fight me so this was quite a surprise that someone was up to the challenge. I crossed my arms over my chest and gave him an are you serious look when I noticed a tall, tanned god walking towards me. He had short dark hair and a body like a Greek statue. I couldn't take my eyes off of him and I could feel my body coming alive the closer he got.
He sauntered over to where we were and stopped right in front of me. His intoxicating smell surrounded me with a curtain of cinnamon spice and oranges and his emerald green eyes sparkled in the sunlight.
"Ember, this is Anderson, my nephew. He's visiting from the Silver Moon pack and has just recently taken over as Alpha. Since no one here seems to want to battle you, I think you could benefit from fighting someone with a little more, expertise." He said as he chuckled.
This was going to be interesting. Not only have I never fought someone from a different pack but I've also never fought a sex god like this. What if I accidentally touched his...a deep blush crept across my cheeks and I quickly turned my face.
He walked up behind me and whispered into my ear "Is this gonna be hard for you, sweetheart? Because that blush will only spread once I've pinned you to the ground."
His words caught me off guard and I immediately barked back "Don't underestimate me, honey, you won't be laughing when I've got your ass pinned."
He snorted and walked past me into the circle. I turned on my heel and huffed my way behind him as Adam watched our little spat with wide eyes. We both got into position and waited for the signal. Adam announced the rules then whistled loudly for us to start.
We circled each other for a while before he lunged forward. Expecting his move, I moved slightly to the side dropping down on one knee with the other leg extended out and spun around tripping him. I recovered quickly and got into my defensive stance as I watched him slowly get up and crack his neck then turned around staring at me as he smirked.
"Nice one." Then he stalked forward stopping a few feet from me and waited for my next move.
I contemplated charging him but I knew he would be waiting for that so instead I put my hand out and made a come and get it gesture.
He laughed and said "I don't think so, sweetheart. I never make the same mistakes twice. Give me your best shot."
That's all it took for me to lose it. I ran towards him knowing he would try and dodge me but instead of hitting him I jumped up and round house kicked him in the jaw sending blood flying from his mouth as his face flew to the right. His hard ass body remained in place while I sat there smiling at my work.
He turned his face back to me and his eyes turned a dark brown. His face was full of anger and I knew I had hit a cord.
"What's wrong, honey, messed up that beautiful face?" I taunted him making his ears turn red and a snarl escape his lips.
He stood up and walked towards me with determination in his eyes. I planted my feet firmly on the ground and waited until he was within punching distance and swiftly threw a jab right at his face. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him then spun me around wrapping one arm around my neck and the other around my waist. He held me tight against his hard body and my insides started to scream for him to run his hand more south into my pants.
I shook my head trying to get the images of him on top of me out of my mind and roughly stomped my heel down on his foot. He loosened his grip enough for me to flip him over my shoulder onto the ground. He hit it with such force that the wind was knocked out of him so I took advantage of his weak moment. I got on the ground wrapping my arms around his neck then tugged his heavy body on top of mine while I stuck my foot in between is legs right against his balls. It's an old trick my brother taught me. Basically the more they fight you the more pressure gets applied to their boys causing severe pain. Either they pass out from the choke hold or they tap out due to the torture being applied to their nuts.
In his case, he tapped out. I loosened the hold around his neck and rolled over.
I got up and looked down at him and said "I hope I didn't hurt you too much, honey." Then walked away making sure to sway my ass a little extra for him.
I walked past Adam and slapped him on the shoulder saying "Next time, why don't you give me an actual challenge!"
Damn she's brutal! But then I guess all's fair in love and war!
What do you think about Anderson?
Will he be upset that he lost to a girl or will he ask for a rematch for his bruised ego?
