Chapter 71: Grace

After dinner, Eli and I went up to our room. “Baby, what do you need to prepare for your battle with your father?”

I turn and look at him, confused. “What do you mean? There’s no way he’s going to defeat me.”

He walks over, pulling my hips against his, putting his forehead on mine. “Grace, every Alpha there saw what you can do. There is no way your father is going to fight fair. He’s lost before the battle begins. So, what do you think he would do?”

I understand what he means. If my father intends to fight me for the pack, he knows he can’t beat me outright. “What do you think he will do?”

“Well, I think we need to make sure that the battle is as fair as possible. We’re going to bring some of our pack members with us. But I also want to talk to Alpha Anders. He’s an elder and if he’s there, it would mean that any cheating would immediately disqualify your father from the challenge.”

“Do you think Alpha Anders would be willing to come with us?”

“All we can do is ask.” Eli says.
