Chapter Three-Anyone But Him

Chapter Three

(Olivia POV)

 I woke up early this morning even though I have hardly slept. Today is the day my best friend Bradley returns, the pack tournament is today and the visiting pack the Scarlet Moon Pack arrives. I lay on my bed for a bit thinking about the last couple of weeks and I can’t help the smile that graces my lips. Xavier and I have been going on nightly runs and getting to know each other. He confided in me that he has had a crush on me ever since he arrived at the pack and he tried to kiss me. I stopped him and told him it wasn’t right as he had a mate out there. He explained that he had actually met her the day he turned 18. She was a rogue and she rejected him because he refused to go rogue and she refused to try to join the pack. After he explained he kissed me and I allowed it for a minute before reality dawned on me. I drew back and explained my situation was complicated. He stated he was aware and would wait for me to figure out what needed to be done. We have spent everyday together and he is supposed to move into this pack house in a week. He is so respectful and caring he is what I would want my mate to be. I have tasked the elders to find a way out of my situation. Enough dreaming of the future the sun was rising and it was time to prepare.

I grab a banana and head out to the sparring grounds and go into the tents set up for changing. I am listening to my dad address the packs right before he begins going over the rules. A delicious scent of fresh cut grass and the smell of an impending thunderstorm have me peeking out of the tent. That smell could only mean...I look around at the crowd and my eyes stop wandering as my lips begin to burn ‘Mate!’ Liberty shouts. 

No...no it can’t be absolutely not but there he is with a platinum blonde sitting on his lap kissing him. He pulls away a perplexed look on his face smelling the air. I close the tent before he can see me. This really can’t be happening, anyone but him Moon Goddess! I quickly hide my scent, not wanting him to find me.

“Okay the rules are simple: each wolf will fight in their wolf form working their way up the ranks. When it is final round the wolf could fight in either form human or wolf. I as Alpha and my son will not be competing. It is up to an Alpha if he wants to compete but I warn you some of these competitors are tough. I would hate for you to become embarrassed by losing.” My  father laughs but then turns to wink at me. 

(Christian POV) 

I had just arrived at the pack where me, my Beta Lex, and 15 of my best warriors will be staying. It is only an hour until the tournament starts. The Alpha Oliver is showing us from their pack house to the tournament grounds. He said he will show us the pack house we will be staying at after the tournament and will introduce us to his daughter who he said will help lead my warriors training. I can feel King acting anxious in my mind trying to take over. I don’t know what his problem is. Maybe it is because he is focused on our true mission and this Alpha’s mere presence has our blood boiling.  I have 3 warriors competing in this tournament and I can’t wait to shock these morons with our pure strength and skill. I go to sit in my spot on the bleachers and Savannah sits down on my lap.She turns around and kisses me passionately and I rest my hand on her back pulling her closer to me. The breeze shifts and a familiar smell of coconut and what can only be described as the salt water crashing on the beach reaches my nose. ‘She’s here?’ The thought enters my mind as I pull away and begin to sniff the air but the scent is gone fading fast. I feel Savannah wiggle on my lap obviously feeling my growing erection.

“Baby I got to go get ready for this fight. I’ll take care of that later.” She reaches down and grabs me through my jeans.

“Be quick” I slapped her ass as she got up. “I doubt there are any other she-wolves fighting so destroy these men and show them what we are made of.” I instructed her she winked and sauntered away.

‘You're going to regret bringing that she-wolf here or to our bed.’

‘And why is that? Do you know something? Something about what we just smelt.’

King simply laughed in my head mischievously in response. There will be 12 fighters today, 3 from my pack, 3 from Riverbend, 3 from Full Moon and 3 from Golden Moon and Dark Skies Pack. I have always wondered why the 2 packs had never merged fully even though they rule together. 

The first two rounds were uneventful really, Savannah dominated the wolf from Full Moon Pack. She was a medium she-wolf and unlike her bleached platinum blonde hair, her wolf was a sandy blonde color with eyes almost black. She looked at me and winked when she won. I decided to poke some fun at the future Alpha of Dark Skies Pack “So Future Alpha Wilder I hope you're not getting nervous seeing how my future Luna fought or perhaps hopeful for a Luna such as her.” 

The Future Alpha let out a full on laugh before he could collect himself the Alpha Luna Bitch spoke “Young Alpha perhaps you should hold your tongue, our head warrior fights next. I would hate for you to eat your words. I would also like to warn that if your Future Luna makes it to the final round with our head warrior they will not go easy on her.” She spoke confidently.

Just then I turn to the ring as the next fight was announced. The wolf from Riverbend steps out he was a large wolf probably of high rank. It wasn’t until the component from Golden Moon and Dark Skies was called out that their pack erupted in cheers as the rest of us sat staring. It was a small she-wolf only reaching the shoulder of her opponent but absolutely gorgeous, her fur this grey blue color and it looked so soft I couldn’t help but imagine what it felt like. Her tips of her ears and paws were the darkest black I had ever seen and she had a patch over her chest shaped like a heart that was almost an iridescent white color. The she-wolves eyes were like nothing I had ever seen. They were like a platinum silver color and appeared to glow. I was brought out of my daze when her eyes seemed to lock on mine and a snarl left her mouth but before I could process the situation the fight began. I was perplexed as I have been trying to learn the scent of all the fighters in case it was ever needed to my benefit but this she-wolf didn’t seem to have any scent at all. 

The fight only lasted a few minutes; the opponent never got a scratch on this she-wolf. She is declared the winner then runs off quickly. I watch as the rounds continue to progress getting longer as each fighter moves forward and the fighters get tougher. I am disappointed when Savannah loses right before she can go into the final match. There is an hour break before the final match, I figured that I would have been shown our accommodation but the Alpha said that it would need to wait until after the tournament. 

I watch as Savannah approaches me looking at me seductively “Alpha I am sorry I failed maybe I could make you happy in another way.” Then she cups me through my jeans again. I see the she-wolf that was fighting run off into the woods with a dark grey wolf nipping at her heel and automatically feel irritated. I grab Savannah and lead her behind a tree a few  yards into the forest. She turns to kiss me but I apply pressure to her shoulders guiding her to get on her knees. She smiles happily and undoes my pants pulling out my cock stroking and licking it before putting it in her mouth. The pleasure I feel only lasts about a minute til I feel nothing but myself going soft. Savannah works hard sucking on my member. I close my eyes and try to picture her, the one I really wish was on her knees pleasing me but nothing helps. 

Savannah looks at me questioningly. I pull out of her mouth and adjust myself back in my pants. “I guess I am more disappointed at your loss than I thought.” Throwing the excuse at her before walking away.

I go back to my seat and Savannah quickly joins me again sitting on my lap. The next fight begins and it is a fighter from Dark Skies and the she-wolf from Golden Moon pack. The fight goes on for almost 40 minutes, both opponents attacking hard not holding anything back inflicting wounds on each other. I am so into the fight and watching the she-wolf it almost feels like I can feel some of the pain from the wounds that she receives which is just absurd. The she-wolf wins standing proudly over her opponent. She bends down and nuzzles his neck showing him there are no hard feelings. The opponent stands up facing the she-wolf they both shift back into their human form, not caring they are naked and he engulfs her small frame in his arms lifting her and spinning her around. Her long light brown hair spinning in the air. I can’t see her face but I can see that the sides of her neck and across the tops of her shoulders are covered in intricate lines of silver, gold, and black. Alpha Oliver approaches the couple with a robe. The She-wolf has her back to me as she puts on her robe the applause has not stopped. Alpha Oliver motions for me to come forward toward them. The crowd has begun to  move around freely.  I make my way down there with my Beta and Savannah through the crowd  congratulating the she-wolf. When we approach the other Alpha’s Chris, and Mason are hugging and congratulating the she-wolf looking at her like proud fathers. 

“Alpha Christian I would like you to meet our champion and my daughter Olivia.”

The world must have stopped turning completely as the she-wolf turns around. No emotion showing on her face and our eyes lock. 

‘Told you you were going to regret this.’

‘And you couldn’t have warned me it was her that it was her pack we were going to? Fuck!’

‘Nope’
