Werewolf’s Heartsong by Dizzyizzyn Chapter 8
It was Darien who answered. “Yeah, they’ve been abusing her since she was a
young pup, my brother and father found her half drowned and covered in mud
and blood at the river once when she was still little. Sarah was jealous of a
dress she wore to a Pack picnic, and the praise she was getting wearing it, so
her and her posse ganged up on her, beat her, then tossed her into the river.”
Serenity gasps in horror, the twins looked angrily over at where Sarah, Matt and
her posse had been. They had already slunk off. I knew what was going to
happen next. She was going to cry home to mommy and daddy about how I had
mistreated her, and she was going to report the boys to the principal.
I looked at the building in time to see my training master nod and head in. I
knew he had seen everything, and he would report it to the Principal, who would
Enter title…
then talk to the Alpha. By reporting to the Alpha my parents wouldn’t be able to
do anything to Galen and Kian. They would thankfully be out of their reach.
“Oh my.” at that comment, I look at Serenity, she’s looking at my face, it must be
healing faster than I thought. “The marks are almost completely gone, it’s like I
can watch them fade.” she blushes before looking down. “Sorry, I shouldn’t
stare, your healing is amazing.” she peaks back up at me after.
I smile a little, she is just so adorable. I look at Darien and see a completely
smitten look on his face, this she-wolf is going to have him wrapped around her
finger. I look back to her and say “It’s all right, my healing has accelerated as
I’ve gotten older, my theory is it’s my body’s response to all the wounds they’ve
dealt me.”
I look back up at Darien as tears gather in Serenity’s eyes, I’m confused for a
moment “I’m used to your comments, and I’m more desensitized to your story,
this is all fresh for her, give her a bit to catch her bearings.” he explains.
I look at Galen and Kian they’re looking at each other anger and pain in their
eyes. It takes me a moment to realize they feel pain for me. For the things done
to me. “I think it’s time I put Sarah in her place, I’m not going to allow them to
touch me anymore.” I say.
I feel the conviction fill me, put steel into my spine, my head held high. “They’ll
never f uck with me again.”
“So how do we start this then?” Darien asks with a look of anticipation on his
face.
“We’ve got the training exams today, they will take place in the bigger training
arena, the top fighters to come from each class will be going up against each
other. They basically have this set up in a tournament, because this will
determine your first placement among the fighters in the pack.” I remind him.
“I don’t plan on holding back, she’s going to see just how skilled I am, and I
hope I’ll get the opportunity to beat her a ss soon.” I say, then Darien laughs
darkly at my word while Serenity, Galen and Kian looked at us confused.
“Just wait and watch, this is going to be amazing.” Darien tells them.
We all head to the arena, today all of the impending graduates will be there.
Today she would learn, today they would all learn. First up were the lesser
skilled wolves, they would be put in the reserves. Then there would be the
moderate skilled wolves, they would be scouts, they were usually faster than
they were strong, these wolves tended to be slim and sleek.
Then there was the enforcer class, usually big wolves, they had a lot of
strength. You then get to the Elite class fighters, Beta’s and those going to be
the alpha’s elite soldiers went into this class, Matthew was in this class.
Darian had passed into the final class, The Alpha fighter class, very few wolves
without alpha blood made it into this class, It just so happened to be the one I’m
in and I was the top student. Darian the second.
The arena was styled after the Roman Coliseum, enormous, round and with a
dirt floor at the bottom, and a covered roof. There was an extremely large LCD
Screen that displayed all the classes and the fighters in those classes as well as
rank. If my sister looked for it she would see my name. But she was probably
looking for Alora Northmountain, not Heartsong.
The first rounds were to be done in our human form, the second rounds were in
our wolf form, then the third round a combination of the two. I excelled at all of it.
What I forgot about was that the parents were to be attending the battles as
well. But I couldn’t help but think it was about time they saw the real me, and
learned to fear coming at me.
I spot the icy duo across the stadium, they were looking at the grouping of
fighters, we had to sit according to our fighting class. Darien sat next to me and
was looking over and down at his mate. What surprised me, but shouldn’t have,
was that Galen, Kian and Serenity were in the Elite fighter class, they claiming
the top three ranks, Matthew was fifth in ranking.
Well looks like I have some strong friends, and Darien a strong mate. Luckily
mates were excluded from fighting each other, it was because mates couldn’t
stand to really harm each other for there to be any serious battle. So I didn’t
have to worry about Darien and Serenity.
The classes were lined up in rows in the bleachers according to the class, Alpha
at the top with the lower level wolves being at the bottom. Ice Queen Mommy
dearest and Ice King Daddy dearest did not seem happy to see their Ice
Princess in the reserve fighter class, I bet they had been expecting to see her in
the elite class.
There faces were scrunched in displeasure, then Allister makes a comment to
Bettina, and they’re then searching the ranks again, going up level by level.
They were looking for me, they get to the Elites and see Matthew, but still
haven’t spotted me. They were not even bothering to look up at the final level,
with the Alpha fighters. Probably because they would be of the opinion that I
couldn’t possibly be with them.
I see Bettina pull out her cell phone, she types furiously for a moment, then
looks at Allister, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I look at the
message YOU BETTER BE HERE YOU WRETCH!!! DO NOT EMBARRASS
US OR YOUR SISTER!!! so typical. I show Darien the text, he snorts “Typical.”
making me laugh because he read my mind.
I type them back I am here, I’m in my assigned seat I send my reply, I look up,
Allister is going through the fighters again, I see Bettina read the text and she
snarls at her phone, causing Allister to look at her for a moment before he starts
looking again.
THEN WHY ARE YOU NOT SITTING WITH THE RESERVE FIGHTERS, I
SWEAR IF YOU EMBARRASS YOUR SISTER OR RUIN OUR GOOD NAME
TODAY YOU WILL REGRET IT WHEN YOU GET BACK TO THE HOUSE
YOU DIRTY WRETCH!!! I snort at her comment of their so called “good name.”
While she was texting me Allister had pulled out the booklet every parent was
given on the way in with the fighters listed by class.
They both start looking for my name. There were several Northmountain’s in the
Enforcer class and a few in the Elite class, and I see them looking at both
classes trying to find me. When they don’t I see their face’s twist in anger, fury
making them look almost demonic. She pulls out her phone and sends me
another text.
WHERE IS YOUR NAME!!! I DON’T SEE IT ON THIS LIST!!! well looks like
the j ig is up, she put her phone down they start looking at the list again. I went
to the Alpha changed my name the day I turned eighteen, it’s already
registered on all my school paperwork, and blood sworn by the Alpha.
I look up after I send the text. They’re expressions were comical as they looked
at the text, then suddenly they’re arguing with each other, so I send
another. Don’t worry I won’t ruin your so called “Good Name” I look back up
and watch them read this one, they both snarl.
I can tell it’s taking everything for her to not start shrieking. She’s typing furiously
then my phone vibrates again. WHAT THE F UCK HAVE YOU DONE YOU
WRETCH!!! WHAT DID YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME TO!!! They’re back to
looking at the sheet. My new surname is Heartsong don’t want to make it to
easy to find me.
They start looking through the list looking for Heartsong, but they disregard the
Alpha Class fighters. She texts me again NICE TRY YOU LITTLE WRETCH, I
DON’T SEE HEARTSONG ANYWHERE ON HERE I look up at them a moment
before texting them back. That’s because you have not looked hard
enough lets see them put it together.
Suddenly the lights go dim, and the names on the board change to just those of
the reserve fighters, their rankings and who their opponents were going to be at
the start of their tournament. My parents will just have to wait and see. The
fights start and my sister and her friends don’t even make it to the third bracket
of challengers. I decide to send a text. See, I’m not the one ruining your
“Good Name”
WHEN YOU MAKE IT BACK I’LL TEACH YOU NOT TO TALK BACK TO ME
YOU WRETCH, I’LL MAKE YOU BLEED AND BEG FOR MY MERCY!!!
