Luke POV
Time went quickly as we sat in café talking and before I knew it we were running towards the football fields behind our school where the trials would unfold.
As we arrived I couldn’t believe own eyes as the school’s fields were transformed into something resembling a modern colosseum where gladiators would fight for glory, honor, and their freedom. Which was very fitting since that was exactly what I felt I was about to do. Except it wasn’t my freedom or honor I was fighting for but my aunts.
Instead of massive stone walls, the whole area was surrounded by seating arrangement, so the different packs could view the trials as they went along. And in the middle of it all was a giant arena.
The ground was covered in sand and the grass that normally bloomed in different types of greens were no longer to be seen. Even though it was one big arena it look liked it was divided into different task where agility, speed, strength, sm
The Supreme Alpha POVI was overlooking the pledgers starting to get ready, as I glanced over the arena.He wasn’t here! I could feel my heart starting to beat drastically as my fear of his absence grew. Maybe Lucy made true of her threat, and he wasn’t coming. Maybe she took the opportunity to escape the pack and turn both herself and Luke rouge as both her alpha and the beta was occupied.Then he would be gone! I felt my breathing getting effected by the mere thought and I found myself fighting to get back control as I hyperventilated a little. I felt my beta Steffan eyes on me as the other alphas continue their conversation. I shoke my head at him and excused myself as I turned my back towards them trying to catch my breath. I couldn’t lose him. He didn’t know who I was to him yet and he to me – if he knew he wouldn’t leave.But then I catch his scent and my eyes started searching the arena once more and then our eye
Luke POVShe raised her hand and stopped me from speaking further.She then turned her attention back to one of the alpha’s I didn’t know. He was tall with short brown hair and his eyes looking fascinated at me. She ignored my existence and addressed the Alpha.“Alpha Lucian, I’m not judging or holding her gender against her. I was only stating the facts concerning her physical appearance as I would have done if a male pledger had a resembling physic.”He did not answer her still looking at me.The other participants of the group was on the other hand still looking at her awaiting a reaction on my presence. Then she spoke again still avoiding my glance.“Oh, for the goddess’s sake! Beta Steffan will you please escort this boy to the infirmary to have his head checked before he enters the arena, so we can be done with this this matter. The boy is clearly not well and I’m on the edge of agreeing
Luke POVWhat the hell triggered a werewolf!?Steffan had left the tent, but I was still walking in circles in there, trying to solve the question at hand.How was I supposed to trigger the other pledger’s wolves into my advantage? My brain was working overdrive like trying to solve a riddle. Then it occur to me.Shit, that was one of those things Kate would know. I ran out of the tent and started looking for her.She was standing by her father at the edge of the arena. Beta Mathias still seemed very upset and seeing me approach them didn’t seem to help on his mood.“Hi, what is going on?” I answered.“Keep away from her, Luke. I have protected you, trained you and done everything in my power to make it possible for you to prove Alpha Ezrod wrong. But somehow everything you touch turn into utter chaos, and I will not let you drag Kate down along with you” He said as he turned to Kate. “Kate I
The supreme POVLucian and I had walked around the outside of the arena discussing women’s rights in wolf packs and how some packs still suppressed female wolves taking away their choices and voices. For an older alpha he was very new thinking, which surprised me since the packs that were secluded up in the mountains or deep the woods away from other packs often were more likely to live by the old ways since no one would interfere.He seemed both warm and heartfelt as well as odd and distant. He didn’t seem like a threat or like a man with an agenda, not like the other two alphas, Ezrod and Mazon. He didn’t talk much, but when he spoke, every word was chosen carefully, and every sentence was thought through to the last detail. His words resonated with wisdom from a past filled with melancholy.As I was talking to Lucian, the arena was being turned into an obstacle course which would challenge the pledger’s agility, strength, power, and st
The Supreme Alpha POV“We can only hope” he said, and it almost looked like he smiled at me.I smiled back, and his smile fainted as quickly as it appeared.“I’m sorry, but you have your mothers smile”“My mother? You knew my mother?” I asked, feeling somewhat assaulted by his sudden outburst.“Yes I knew your mother! She was kind and gentle, and I was heartbroken, when I heard that she died” he answered.“She was killed!” I correct him.“By your father?”“Yes” I answered shortly not really liking where this conversation was going.“Why?” he asked sounding out of breath“She poisoned me, and my dad sentences her to death by his own hand”“So, it’s true. I didn’t believe it. She loved you more than anything. She would have given her life for you.”“And so she
Luke POVI felt prepared and ready, like this was what I had been waiting for whole my life.We were standing in a line outside of the arena. We were 8 pledgers in total. Three pledgers from our pack; me, Kate, and the asshole Tomas. Tomas was the favorite among all the pledgers. He was built like a machine, like he was carved out stone. Muscle I didn’t even know excited were outline perfectly on him. He was the kind man with an eightpack instead of a sixpack. He didn’t look like an 18-year-old boy – he looked like a man or a Greek god.The other 5 pledgers were from the other three packs. Alpha Mazon hadn’t allowed any of his packmembers to pledge to the Supreme due to her being a woman. So left was 1 pledger from Alpha Lucian pack in the mountains, and 2 pledgers from the pack in the north and 2 from the in south. Just likes their alphas, they didn’t say much, but all were looking fierce and beyond ready.I caught the other
The Supreme Alpha POVI watched as she fell to the ground, her body limbless and her skin turning pale.I felt Luke’s agony as my own as he ran towards her, ripping the big grey wolf off of her and pulling her close to him.Up till then it had been exciting to watch the pledger on the obstacle course. Tomas, Kate, and Luke had done a surprisingly good job. Luke and Kate had helped one another throughout the course and their ability to support and endorse each other was a sight for sore eyes. Their teamwork were impeccable, and Kate amazed me more than any of the other pledgers. She moved both quickly and elegantly through the course. And I clearly underestimated her.Tomas psychic and size were incredible. A more suitable warrior, you wouldn’t find.One of Lucian pledgers caught my eye as well, but as he fell on his ass after attacking Kate, he was out.Luke had used hit wit to complete the different tasks and very smartly used t
Mathias had lost it! Openly attacking the Supreme was a certain death sentence.Didn’t he hear her small weak whimper? The whimper that meant that there was still hope, that Kate was still alive.It was like he turned mad filled with rage somehow all directed at the Supreme Alpha.I couldn’t let him hurt either of them. Some part of me loved them both.The Supreme didn’t get up to fight him or flee the scene. She stayed by Kate’s side and leaned over her using her body to shield Kate from the attack coming to towards them.I jumped in front of Mathias’ wolf as he tried to attack the Supreme and dep into all my strength buried deep inside of me where my wolf resonated.I held his wolf’s head as he tried to rip me into pieces.“GO!” I screamed at her, and she got up immediately and carried Kate with her.Beta Steffan and Alpha Lucian were on their feet and pinned Mathias down.
