“Zaniyah, what are you doing here? Do you need something?” Adriana asked, looking up at the third person who suddenly showed up.

The girl shifted her gaze from me to her. Her face lit up with a smile as she replied “there is training brawl in the field, Alpha asked me to bring you there”

“Oh, really?” Adriana nodded “it’s fine Zaniyah, you can leave I will be there”

“Yes” Zaniyah nodded and turned to leave but not before glancing at me.

I craned my head towards Adriana “training brawl?”

“Yes, to test the strength of the members, Cassius always holds this brawl event every month. It’s also like a kind of way to define who’s better and get higher rank in the pack” Adriana explained.

I gave an understanding nod “it sounds so interesting”

“The play is more interesting. Everyone is engaged to prove their power, strength and solidity”

“Alpha Cassius is really and headstrong and knows how to maintain stability in the pack without being biased”

“Yes, I can agree with that” Adriana nodded, “Cassius had been crowned as Alpha when he was 15 years. It was tragic that even his parents couldn’t get the chance to see him being the heir to the throne” she sighed at the end.

“As I said Alpha Cassius is a kind of person, whom everyone will feel proud to have him as leader”

“Reese” Adriana smiled “your view of him is really appreciative. How did you understand his quality when he was being so rude to you?”

“Past experience” I forced a smile. I have seen Avan, his father and been with them for years already. How much they worked hard to maintain their position, even fighting, making strategy and assuring the security of the pack. Though they had a black heart, they were fighters. At least I learned how to judge a strong character and have a good understanding.

“Impressive, I must say John really is not wrong to want you with him. I can see, you are special”

Her words made my heart tug. Special? What speciality do I have other than seducing Avan? That’s what I did all the time isn’t it? I stayed silent pondering over my own thoughts.

“Reese,” Adriana called again. When I looked at her, she was eyeing me with a perturbing gaze. “You won’t leave him, right?”

I sighed, “I couldn’t. Azrael made me-”

“Azrael?” Adriana gasped.

“What is it?” I gave her a look of skepticism.

“You are calling him Azrael?”

“Yes” I nodded “he told me so”

Suddenly she smiled “well, I was amazed. John never allowed anyone in the pack to call him with this name including Cassius”

He never allowed anyone? But he told me to refer to him that way. It was surprising news, if Adriana had not said I wouldn’t have known either. Adriana gave me a savvy look.

“I told you, you are special to him. He even allowed you to call him with that name”

“I didn’t know about that” my voice was slow and almost like whispering.

“Oh Reese, you need to be a little trustful. As I said, no one can chahte their past. I won’t ask you to do things you don’t like. I can only suggest you not to do something you will regret in future. Your present choice will determine your fate. Just remember this”

I regretted my past. For being like that. For being so ruined because of my own egotistical desire. Adriana is right, I can’t change it. There’s no way but I can change the future. Can I accept him forgetting about my nightmare? The answer is simple no.

“We should go now. Cassius must be waiting”

“I will stay here”

“What are you saying? You don’t want to watch the fight?”

“Umm… I am not interested”

“Come on Reese, John will also be there. He must be looking for you”

Hearing his name again, the scenario of morning started flashing in my mind. How his hard body was pressed on me and how his fingers fu- what the hell I am thinking?

~ he is our mate ~ Eve replied.

I shook off the thoughts trying to limpid my mind. It’s better if I just don’t think. This way is healthy for me.

“Reese, are you listening?” I heard Adriana called me.

“Huh? Uh.. yes”

“Lets go”

This time I didn’t deny but nodded.

We walked in the training field which was filled with throngs. We made our way and found Cassius and Azrael standing on a small stage at the side. It looked like Alpha Cassius knew Adriana was here, he suddenly looked over us and gave a handsome smile.

“Peaches, you are here finally” he gestured with his hand “Come here”

Adriana smiled obeying what he said. She walked straight towards him while Alpha Cassius pulled her near him. He whispered something in her ear making her giggle like a small girl. I sighed inwardly at their interaction. It was lovely and romantic.

“Are you going to stand there?” I jumped back in shock. When did he stand so close to me? Azrael was eyeing me closely.

“Do you always enjoy scaring me?” I hissed.

He smirked and grabbed my wrist pulling me with him. I couldn’t help but to follow his lead. He stood beside him while he stood two steps behind Alpha Cassius. Adriana turned to me, winking. I shook my head and glanced at my which was tightly clutched by his slander fingers.

“Start” Alpha Cassius used his manly alpha tone ordering.

Soon teams are divided to fight and the fight finally starts. The power fight was hard, I can see how the two opponents were trying to win the game and not letting each other down. It’s like their life depended on this fight.

“Are you enjoying it?” I heard him whisper, leaning down a little.

“It’s just a fight, what’s there to enjoy?” I retorted back.

“So fierce like always” he smirked “looks like I need to do something about it”

I glared at him “what nonsense are you thinking?”

“Nonsense? Do you want me to show you how you were enjoying my touch specially when your warm pu-”

“Don’t make me slap you” I hissed before he could finish.

His smirk widened “oh, I need to put a good action to prove it”

The nerve of this man! How dare he? We looked at each other without backing down. It’s like we are having our own competition to prove our strength and power. What does he think of himself? If he thinks he can sway me from my track then he is wrong, so wrong. The noise in the background fell in deaf ears as we continued to battle with our eyes. I know he is playing with me yet I am not going to back down.

“Travis won” the loud applause of the audience broke the trance. I glanced towards the field where a dark haired man was happy raising his hands up in the air. When I looked back, Azrael was still looking at me. Angrily I shoved his face away.

“Concentrate on the fight”

He chuckled and focused his gaze on the scene. I sighed inwardly. This man is hard to handle, harder than Avan. I thought only Alpha blood is hot and hard but this man just proved how wrong I am. Avan’s attitude was undemanding yet Azrael is vigorous. I don’t know how long I could keep up with his rigidness. I was pondering with my own thoughts when I felt a piercing gaze. I raised my head to see bright blue eyes staring directly at me. Her gaze was more like a sharp arrow trying to dig a hole in my body.

I frowned at her. I don’t know why she is glaring at me. I don’t even know her for god’s sake then why the hell she is glaring at me like I am her biggest enemy. Like I have snatched her precious thing and she has vowed revenge on me. I tried to fathom all the possible scenarios where I might be at any fault but I couldn’t find one.

There was another cheer which made me tear my gaze from her. The one who won was the same person I met. It was Jaxson, I clearly remember him. The glaring session started with him and I have no idea how many will be added to the list. Now I understand what Savannah would be feeling in the past. This is horrible.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing”

“The fight is about to finish, are you tired?” Azrael frowned.

I shook my head “no, I am fine”. I was quite busy searching for those glaring faces in the crowd. I wanted to add but I refrained myself from doing so. With the two last fights, finally the event came to an end. The four winners will have their rank higher and it was a respectable price. Everyone cheered for them with applause and whistles.

“Let’s go!” Azrael held my wrist.

“What where?”

“You will see”

“But your Alpha is still here, how can you leave?”

He turned back to look at me “don’t worry he has other things to do than caring about me” he pulled me out of the field area.

I glanced back only to see Alpha Cassius was busy with Adriana. He was looking at her, sharing a few words while Adriana blushed. Maybe he is right. Alpha Cassius really has other things to do.
