SWNOVELS Chapter 11
Chapter 11
I look across the arena. And the introverted wolf that hid in a hoddie and baggy track pants is gone. In her place is a fierce
warrior. I was in the crowd when she was rejected. My cousins had stepped in. I couldn‘t figure out why at first till I talked to
them. What came out of that conversation was that this was a she–wolf who deserved better than what she had been handed.
As I look at her now I realize that what I had seen before was a she wolf hiding who she truly was. This magnificent fighter before
me was the real wolf.
She was going to kick my ass. But it would be my honor to battle her. She had a fierce aura that screamed Alpha. After this I
hope she would accept my pledge of friendship. The bell dings and the battle begins. It was over quickly, she had been fierce.
Taking no quarter, proving she was the best fighter. And I felt joy at having been defeated by such a strong person. Right before I
black out. 18
Sarah‘s POV
My blood is boiling with fury. How dare she show me up. How was she in the Alpha class. How dare she try to steal Matt from
me. That
little bitch would pay. My parents were mad at me. They wanted to know why I wasn‘t in at least the elite fighter. Uh hello, I didn‘t
want to break my nails, and all the sweating and running, ugh, so not pretty. Also I didn‘t like pain. I loved to give it though. And I
would give it to her. (2
I‘ll have daddy chain her to the post in the basement again. By the time I‘m through with her she‘ll never think to show me up
again. And how dare she change her name without permission. Didn’t she know that she humiliated our parents publicly. They
were also going to make her regret her decision. I hope they kicked her out. After I‘m done with her first though.
I look for Matt in the stands. But he‘s not looking at me. Serenity had caved in his face, I knew from experience that hurt, but he
healed faster than I did, so all that‘s left is a lot of really ugly bruising. I had been in pain and unable to show my face for three
days. I try to get his attention but he‘s still not looking at me. He‘s looking at the billboard with my sister‘s picture.
The slut was practically naked. Stupid bitch wasn‘t even covering up her horrible dark skin. And that wolf of hers, what was with
those
markings, she was grotesquely huge, too big for a she wolf. God she needs to lose weight. And someone should tell her a snarl
was horribly unattractive. But Matt is looking at that picture with sadness and longing.
What! No! You‘re mine! You already rejected her, and she rejected you back! I look back at the picture. That slut! She‘s still trying
too take Matt from me! No! I won‘t allow it. That bitch should go to hell! This time I‘ll make sure she has scars. I‘m going to carve
her face with a silver knife. I‘ll put silver in the tails of the whip before I whip her till her back and front are nothing but raw meat!!!!

My fury grows as I watch her descend into the arena, I look and sure enough Matt‘s eyes are still on her, he‘s looking at her like
he wants her. This only makes me seethe. My fists clenched so tight my nails are drawing blood. She‘ll pay, oh she will. pay!!!! I
look for my parents not bothering to watch the fight.
My mom and dad are arguing with each other. She even made my parents forget about me. Me! I‘m their Princess! The only one
that matters. Before long the battle is over and she‘s declared the winner. What?! I look up at the board and there it is. The
bitch!!!
Matt‘s POV
I fucked up. I rejected my mate. I look at the picture on the board. And I no longer see anything ugly about her. All of Sarah‘s
words falling away. My wolf is silent inside my head. He never liked Sarah, he never was going to accept her. But I had ignored
him in the wake of what I thought was good sex. And all the things Sarah told me. But I should have been thinking with my head
and listening to my wolf instead of following my dick. All the times my wolf told me not to listen to her. I should have listened.
Now I‘ve rejected my mate for someone, I now know was not worth it.
Once both parties reject the other, there is no way to repair the bond. I felt the pain, when I threw away my Goddess given mate.
Then Sarah had attacked her, but I‘d been, and am, too weak to protect her. I look at her picture. The board, lists her as First
Rank Alpha Class. She deserved better than me. My wolf spoke to me for the first time in awhile “She should have someone
stronger than us, she was right to reject us.” Aries sadness is my own. “No, she didn‘t reject you. It was me she rejected.” I tell
him, pain in my voice.
“This was my fault. if we get a second chance. I‘ll not make the same mistake.” I feel Aries stir in me. “Will you listen to me now.”
he asks softly. “I should have been listening to you all
along. Hopefully the goddess will give us a chance at redemption. And another mate I will swear to love and appreciate like I
should have Alora.” I watch Alora as she descends, she looks ready for battle.
I‘m filled with sadness for what I‘ve thrown away, and longing for what could have been. “I hope the next one the Goddess
choses for her truly deserves her.” I look over at Sarah, the stupidest reason I had for rejecting the glorious she–wolf. And I see
her glaring in a poisonous fury at Alora. “I don‘t like the look on her face.” I say to Aries.
“She‘s going to do something, something horrible to that girl.” was Aires response. “I don‘t doubt that.” My stomach turns at the
thought of having to go near Sarah. “The only thing we can do. Keep her attention on us and away from Alora.” he growls not
liking the Idea. “I also think it‘s time I talk to Darien. He was right all those years ago.” sick to my stomach but resigned to my fate
I look up for Darien, he would be up next to fight Alora. 2
I see Darien using his phone to record the battle. The bell rings, bringing my attention back to the two opponents. She moved
fast, a blur of speed and grace going in low only to snap up high in a spinning whip like kick that
had the wolf flying back body spinning, he lands face down before rolling to the edge.
Alora landed from her kick with both feet spread her arms up in a fighters position. She waits for the other wolf to get back up, he
runs in her direction and she‘s off again with all that speed going at him then she jumps up high over him, and spinning, lands
another whip like kick on the back if his shoulders, sending the large male crashing down to the floor.
Alora landed next to the wolf and jumps back before resuming what I‘m now tagging as her fighters stance. She waits. Her
opponent doesn‘t move. She‘s declared the winner, she hadn‘t even broken a sweat, she wasn‘t breathing hard. She had moved
from her fighters stance and was now standing proud, shoulders back, spine straight, head held high, her eyes still glittering like
purple diamonds.
She‘s an Alpha she wolf. Without having to be mated to an Alpha, she is an Alpha, and the full ramifications of what I gave away
start to drown me. I never deserved her. Her next mate would have to be the Alpha of Alpha‘s to deserve being blessed with her.
Darien’s POV
After texting my brother I decide to record
Alora‘s battle so I can send it to him. I record her walk down into the Arena, her climb to the platform. She removes her cardigan
and skirt, and takes a familiar fighters stance. One I‘ve seen my brother and father take. There is a reason I‘m one of the top two
ranks of the Alpha class. But watching Alora move and take down the other wolf reinforces why Alora was ranked first. I didn‘t
start training with Alora till this year. I knew she was training in a separate dojo arena since the beginning of high school.
I knew my brother and father had done that to protect her from her sister. But I realized as I was training with her, it was also to
help her hide her abilities. The less her family had to despise her, the fewer reasons they had to abuse her, and the more
chances she had to improve herself to get her out of their reach. That‘s why my bother and father have helped her as they have.
And I was thinking it would be better to move her into the pack house sooner rather than later. Looking down at Sarah and the
maniacal fury on her face makes me think tonight would be the night she needed to move.
I send my brother the video of her fight. Then I sent him a message about what I‘ve observed and my thoughts and gut instinct
telling me we need to move her into the pack house tonight. I
same thing and was waiting on our father to message him back. I knew my father was among the crowd.
There was no way he was going to miss this. He has watched all of our official fights. Damien‘s, mine and Alora‘s. He thinks of
Alora as the daughter he never had, mom loves her, and wants to be able to shower her with it. But mom knows what her family
would do to her if they new how much the Luna and Alpha of our pack cared about her. A
To me she was more than my best friend, she was my sister. But I was sure she meant so much more to my big brother, and not
as a sister. I hoped the Goddess will bring those two together. If anyone would take care and love Alora the way she deserved, it
was Damien, and at age 23 with no mate yet, I was starting to wonder if that wasn‘t what the Goddess had planned in the first
place.
