Chapter 23
Unknown POV
We had been walking back to the dorms from our morning training session, when I felt it. It was a deep
visceral pain that dropped me to my knees. It radiated out of my chest. It took me a moment to realize I
was not feeling my pain. No, this was from the woman who’s rejection I refused. I was still bonded to
her, and could still feel her pain. (3
Something has happened to her, something bad, it feels as though her soul is being ripped out, taking
mine with it. I wanted desperately to go to her. But I knew she wouldn’t want to see me. Her friend
Sarah had made that clear thest time I tried to talk to her.
I still haven’t epted her rejection.
I still won’t. My best friend kneels down next to me. “What’s wrong, what has happened.” He demands,
forever the Alpha. “Something has happened to her, she’s in so much pain.” I tell him. The pain
continues on for only a little while longer before it stops abruptly, like she passed out. My friend looks at
me. “I’m going to give dad a call and find out what’s going on at home.” I nod, and I’ll text the only ally
there I seceretly had in the bid to im my mate.
Alora’s POV
After we ate lunch we all went back to the school’s Coliseum together. The Principal and Elder Ss
joining the Alpha and Luna. Serenity, Kian, and Gn’s parents were now seated with them as well.
Strangely, Lauren, Agatha, and Beatrice were being exempted from finishing the exam
due to special circumstances.
During this time, a lot of the lower level wolves used these fights to advance in rank, further than
they’rest fights did. This tournament was like the ones the Pack holds yearly for the soldiers, if they
did really well, this was an opportunity to earn an advancement in rank.
We needed to be able to match a wolves skills, to where they would better support the Pack. So when
it came to leadership, your intelligence was just as important a factor. The Training Masters of the pack
wereprised of the toughest wolves in the pack, they were also very intelligent and came from
generations of training masters, most having received their position from their fathers or mothers, who
were given it by their fathers or mothers, and so an and so forth.
The Alpha positions were kept indefinitely until you either, died, retired, or was challenged for your
position. Most Alpha’s, like the trainers, are from generations of Alpha’s. With a few exceptions, like me
now. But you were only able to
challenge an Alpha once every five years. If you lost your match, you had to wait five years before
being able to challenge that Alpha again. You were also, only able to challenge the same Alpha three
times in your lifetime.
I watched the wolves who have trained hard in thest three months, make leaps and bounds up the
ranks. They all we’re usually wolves whose power and or growth came to themte. Or are just now
finding their determination, having finally decided where at in the Pack they wanted to be. There was
also the wolves who have been focused more on their
studies than on fight training. 2
This year had seen the biggest improvement, and the most change, of every werewolf in their Senior
year. It has been amazing to watch, even if I wasn’t a part of any of it, but I had been watching from the
shadows, secretly cheering on my fellow pack members.
This year had seen a lot of change in me too. I was only beginning to realize that it was because I had
always been my destiny to be an Alpha. Aaaaand I now have a Mansion and more money than I will
ever know what to do with. I literally, have no idea what to do with that kind of wealth. I mean, sure, the
ie I’ll get working at theb will be very lucrative.
Enough to get me arge plot ofnd and a really nice house, and to support a family. I paused,
saddened If there will be a family now, is what goes through my mind. That leaves me to wallow for a
moment, but I don’t allow myself to fall into despair. I would not ever again allow myself to fall into that
dark abyss again, because I was an Alpha, I had a responsibility to my Pack. I’ve never felt as strong
as I do now, It was an incredible feeling. 2
When it came time for Serenity’s match I looked at Darien, he was drooling. The desire in his eyes as
he looked at Serenity was electric, his attention entirely focused on her as she fought. I bet she could
feel his gaze on her, it had to be intense. It makes me long to feel that kind of connection with my own

male. I was hoping the Moon Goddess will bless us with a second chance mate.
Someone who can love all of me, someone to appreciate me.?
Right now that dream feels unachievable. So I’ll have to focus on other things for now. Like my own
fightsing up, I would be battling four opponents this time around. Jamison, Lexus, Jaxon and
Darien. I was actually looking forward to it. Darien was to fight, Garrett, Mason, Lexus then me.
For Jaxon, who I was now keeping an eye on, as he’s a really close cousin to Serenity, and her
brothers. He was the same age as the Twins, being raised together made him like another brother to
them. He was to fight Garrett, Jamison, Lexus and me. Lexus’s fourth opponent was Jamison.
Jamison’s fourth opponent was, Mason. Garrett and Mason as the bottom two ranks of the ss only
had three opponents to fight, and were each others third battle
were each others third battle.
Everyone was waiting around for the Alpha ss’s battles. They all knew how epic the battles were
between the Senior’s of the Alpha ss. We were the strongest to begin with. And we all have only
gotten stronger. With my new eptance of my destiny I felt like my strength has tripled, almost like
the chains I felt breaking in Xena’s ‘space’ hadn’t just been holding my magic back, but holding me
back physically as well. Then a memoryes forth, It was about one of the few times I hade
close to beating Brock.
It had been during a fall afternoon in one of the outside training rings. The trees were bursting with
color, reds, oranges, yellows and browns. The wind was blowing the leaves already liberally littering the
ground and taking more from the trees. The sun
was still out and the sky was a beautiful blue with a few clouds, and the earth was damp. I knew
because I had been on my back on the ground looking up at the sky panting heavily.
That’s when he said. “Somethings holding you back girly, you nearly had me, once you find out whats
holding you back and break it, trust me, you’ll be unstoppable, now that’s a sight I would love to see.”
He had knelt down offering me a hand, looking me directly in the eye he said. “You got what it takes to
be a great Alpha Alora, one day you’ll see it too.” I hadn’t believed him at the time. But now I know what
he meant.
I look over at the area all the Trainers were sitting in, and he was there. I’ve been his student for the
without the
chains that had been holding me back. I felt happy to know he was here to witness my transformation. I
watch as he pulls out his phone, he reads whatever was sent to him, he smirks at it, then types a reply.
He’s got that smile that says he knows he has annoyed someone, and is gloatingly happy about it.
Wonder who the message was to?
Unknown POV
I’d sent a message to that old man Brock asking if he could record Alora’s fight for me. He would be
sitting with the other trainers in the Arena and they had front row seats. His message was deliberately
irritating, I growl in annoyance. Old man still new how to get to me.
If I didn’t respect him so much I’d teach him a lesson when I got back home. But he did make a point,
even
if I was reluctant to admit it. “If you wanted to watch her fight, you could havee to the tournament
yourself today.” I growl again reading his message.
I should have gone, but I had stayed away. My attraction for her having grown for her over thest two
years, it was bing an obsession. I knew it was inappropriate, so I had stayed away. Convincing
myself to be satisfied with the reports and pictures I asionally got from my family. Soon the excuse
of school would be no more. I would graduate soon, our finals started in two weeks, then we would be
going home.
She was eighteen now, and had been rejected by her mate. I abruptly cut off that line of thinking before
any hope could form. She had another mate out there somewhere. And if I
touched her even once…. I would
touched her even once….I would never let her go.
