Chapter 145


    We circle around each other, waiting for the other to strike first. It’s actually quite boring, so I stop and


    put my hand on my hip as I c*ck it out to the side. I don’t say anything but c*ck a brow in askance.


    She smirks, “What, do I make you nervous?”


    “Are you f*cking serious right now? I’m bored! How about your hurry up and start it so I can finish it. I’ve


    got two babies at home waiting for their mama.” That does exactly what I was hoping for.


    L screeches like a banshee and flings her whole body at me. Bending at my knees, my shoulder


    goes right into her gut and I stand, taking her with me as I push her up and over my head. The bi*ch


    lands on her backside, cursing and ring at me. Grinning, I motion for her toe at me again with


    my hand.


    “I don’t have all day…” I remind her.


    Once again shees at me and I send her flying with an uppercut. I can tell she hasn’t had much


    training, because for one, she’s very s*oppy, and two, she was always on her back for the warriors,


    f*cking them, instead of on her feet training with them. There are signs that her wolf, Lina, wants to


    break free, but she keeps her back for the time being.


    She actually surprises me when shees at me with a right, but changes it at thest second and


    h*oks me with her left. There isn’ t much power to her punch, though, and the worst it does is make my


    lip bleed.


    “Nice move, too bad, a pup can hit harder than that, though.” I


    Dividing into pages now


    antagonize.


    “F*ck you, I’m a lover not a fighter!” L growls.


    “No, you’re a w*ore, not a lover…” I jump and do a roundhouse kick, knocking her on her as* once


    again, “Are you ready to give up?”


    “Never!” She then snickers, “You know, it wasn’t that long ago that he might have been calling me by


    your name, but it was MY body that he was getting off with. He still knew that I am a great time in bed!”


    “Oh, is that when you drugged him? You gave him performance drugs; of course, he’s going to get off,


    all c*cks know a c*m dumpster when they see one! That’s all you are, L. You f*cked up being with


    your true mate, and now your sorry a*s has nobody.”


    Lina breaks free andnds on all fours in front of me, but I don’t even flinch. In fact, I decide to stay in


    my human form for a bit, even though T is biting at the bit to get her paws dirty as well. When the


    other wolfes at me, I grab her by the scruff and toss her off to the side as though she weighs


    nothing. Her own momentum is what takes her as far as it does and has her shaking her head back


    and forth before baring her teeth at me.


    Shees back at me, but veers off at thest minute as she slices her ws down my side. It burns


    like a b*tch, but I ignore it as I growl at her, “Is that the worst you can do?”


    When shees for me again, I grab her wolf by the neck and m her down onto the ground,


    keeping pressure on her throat as I lean in, “Submit and give up the title! It was never yours to begin


    with, L, Why are you making this harder than it has to be?” I snar!.


    ‘I will never give it up to the likes of you!’ I hear her say in my head, and then somehow, I miss her


    lifting one of her paws until I feel it


    digging into my lower back on the right side.


    “OW, you b*tch!” Tes forward, and without further ado, sinks her teeth into Lina’s neck and


    shakes her around like a rag doll. When she finally spits her out, we have the two bands of muscle


    tissue that make up her vocal cords, hanging from our mouth.


    Lina’s form remains still as it lies on the ground in front of me. Spitting her vocal cords to the ground,


    T picks up the dead wolf by the scruff and carries it over to where the Beta’s are recording the whole


    challenge. She drops the wolf onto the ground at our feet, and still in wolf form, T stares at the


    camera as if she’s looking right at the Elders.


    “Happy now?”


    T then turns and we walk towards our waiting mate. A scream is heard from the crowd and a she-


    wolfes running out into the open and dropping to her knees in front of the dead wolf. Shifting back


    to my human form, Den helps me put on his t-shirt that hangs down to my knees, as we nce at


    one another and then back at the familiar woman.


    “Is that the woman who imed to be L’s next of kin at the Center?” I’m shocked to say the least, but


    it is actually all starting


    to make sense now.


    “I don’t know, but I think it just might be.” Den says as he grabs my hand and leads me back over to


    L’s dead wolf and the crying


    woman.


    Wee to stand behind her and I clear my throat, “Anita?”


    “You killed her! You killed my beautiful niece!” The older nurse states usingly.


    “We gave her a choice, Anita, and I asked her again during the fight, but she refused to give up.” I’m


    trying very hard to be understanding to this woman who was always so nice to me, even though, it’s


    now clear, that she’s the one that was helping L with everything, and not Dr. Langly; he was telling us


    the truth.


    “All she ever wanted was the love of the Alpha, that’s it!” She then turns and res at Den, “You had


    a child together, why couldn’t you at least try and love her; why couldn’t you choose her? You liked her


    enough to take her to your bed…”

    “Watch what you are saying to your Alpha, Anita!” thising from Beta Carter.


    The she-wolf scoffs, “He’s no longer an Alpha of mine! I will be moving on and finding me a pack where


    the Alpha doesn’t take a young woman’s innocence and then toss her to the side!”


    Den and I both chuckle at the same time, and then I raise my voice towards the Storm River pack


    members, “Raise your hand if you have been having sexual rtions with L Benton for years!”


    Literally all the unmated warriors above the age of eighteen raise their hands, smirking. I turn back to


    Anita, and c*ck a brow, “You were saying something about her innocence?”


    Den ces his hand around my waist, “It’s fine, my Queen, she is mourning,” he then turns his


    attention back to the woman still huddled over L’s body, “You may leave, but not until an investigation


    can be done. There is still the matter of you helping your niece to deceive both myself and Luna Quinn.


    I might also add, that even if you do leave my pack, I am now your King, and you will still treat me with


    respect, or you can follow your niece into the afterlife.”


    My mate doesn’t wait for the old nurse to respond before turning to me and just as he and Duke said


    they would, he tosses me over


    his shoulder and carries me like a sack of potatoes all the way


    back to the pack house.
