"She has weak arms," Soren whispered. "She's all about kicking her opponents. If you could subdue her lower region, maybe even break her leg, you would be golden." I nodded.

"Thank you, Soren."

"No problem, just so you know, she is the female head warrior." My face paled. I did a major, whoops.

My meaty ass was going down.

Then we had a crowd brewing, it was extensive. They all huddled around the circle waiting for us to start. "What the hell is going on?" I asked. Lonato began to sweat, his hair sticking to his forehead. "Liz mind-linked the pack saying you challenged her."

Ugh, this was taken too much out of context. These Wolves are going to think I'm crazy. Soren pushed me forward; looking back at him, his face was nothing but excitement. Did he think I could do this? Right now, I would not place any bets on me because my face was going to be crushed. My mates would have to love me because I'm their mate, not because of my looks anymore.

Liz continued to jump up and down, hyping herself up while I stared. Her legs did look powerful, muscular, and lean, while her upper body strength was a bit on the lanky side.

While my legs were thick, they had some muscle. However, my power was in my arms. It may not look like muscle under that fluff, but there was. Calming my mind, I waited until the crowd quieted down. "Luna Seraphina has challenged Liz, head warrior of the Red Wolves Pack." The group 'oohed' while I rolled my eyes.

"Because she thinks I'm a slut and doesn't believe Dimitri and Dax are mine!" Alright, that was a low blow, but I'm calling it like it is. Liz gasped, holding her hands up in mock surrender.

"I said no such thing! For a Luna, I would think that being honest would be a good virtue to have."

This mother fucking bitch. Wait, would her mom still be a bitch since she is part dog?

Screw it.

"Actually, I was a witness," Soren walked up to me. A grateful smile played on my face. "You insulted her; that was why she challenged you. A true Luna would defend her mates and honor."

"Watch your mouth, Soren. You know what I could do to you," she seethed. Soren jutted out his chin in defiance. "Do it then." A pang of hurt fell on her face; quickly recovering, she spoke loud and clear so everyone in the back could hear.

"I, Elizabeth, Fog of the Red Wolves Pack, reject you, Soren Targeting of the Red Wolves pack as my mate."

The Wolves standing around us stood in silence. Liz clutched her chest with a smile. Soren looked her up and down; his body shook with sorrow. "I accept your rejection," Soren growled. Both of them grabbed their chests again; as quickly as the pain came, it vanished. Liz stood on two feet, looking at Lonato. Her stance stood tall, her shoulders back and her arms crossed.

"Are we going to do this or not?" Lonato's mouth was still hung open. My heart was hurting for Soren. How were they, mates? Why did Liz not want to accept Soren? My own body shook while Lonato took back control over the situation.

"Right, ladies, get into position." How was I supposed to fight after that? Soren vouched for me and gave up his mate to help me. My eyes didn't want to leave Soren. He gave up having a mate just to protect my image. How could I ever repay him? There was no way to repay him.

"Go get her, Luna," Soren patted my back, running out of the circle.

Aw, Fuck.

Liz was crouched in position, and my mind was elsewhere, the whistle blew, and she lunged for me. Pinning me to my back in a fraction of a second, she moved my head to my side to bite me. My legs curled under me, pushing my feet into her stomach. Flipping her over, she fell on her back and recovered. "Don't think I will go easy on you because you are supposedly mated to the princes," she spat, rubbing her feet in the dirt. "Don't think that I won't bite you because you are human."

"Don't think I won't bite you either, you ungrateful bitch," I growled out to my own tune.

Shaking my head, I charged after her, being sure to use my fists to her face. Using my open palm, I pushed up on her nose. It broke with a hearty crack. Power surged inside me, seeing the blood pour. Electricity buzzed throughout my body. Being in nature, in the dirt, was revitalizing. Fighting in a gym on floor mats didn't compare to this.

My hands pulled her arm, throwing her over my shoulder. Wolves cheered. "Damn, are humans supposed to be that strong?" Lonato yelled over the crowd.

One of Liz's hands grabbed my ankle, I dug my nails into her wrist, but it wasn't enough. I was pushed into the dirt once more, coughing blood out of my mouth. "Give up yet, human?"

"Never," I spat the blood on her pink bra.

Liz drug me around the circle, just on edge to show the blood on my face. Once I reached Soren watching, I burned with anger. This wasn't going to pull me down. My hands gripped the dirt, the electricity buried into my fingertips. Twisting my hips, I yanked my leg out of the hold. I moved my arms with such fierceness, my body took over. No longer thinking, I flowed outside of my body, my fists hit her face, my forearm cracked her upper arm with a mighty heave. The legs are what I needed to get rid of to put her at my mercy.

Liz howled in pain; her fur sprouted on her body while her bones cracked. Damn cheater!

Stepping away, Lonato came into the center of the ring to stop the fight. I wasn't ready for it to be over, so I pushed him out with a mighty shove. Many Wolves gasped. Lunging towards her, I put her in a headlock just after her shift. She was a massive Wolf, more significant than I thought a female would be, but I continued my assault. Clamping her head with my biceps, I pushed my legs into the ground forcing her head into the dirt. The electricity and heat were sucked from the ground and into my arm. Boosting my grip on Liz's neck. My arms skid in the soil, scraping my arms, the adrenaline ran through me, the pain was nothing.

I had her where I wanted her, her head on the ground and neck exposed. Did I need to bite her with my own teeth? The crowd was now roaring some with anger, cheers, and applause. Soren looked on from the sidelines. A sad smile graced his lips. No longer thinking, I stuck my human teeth into Liz's furry neck. The fur and blood stained my mouth when she gave me a yelp.
