My hearts beat even louder as curiosity filled my mind. What do they hope to achieve that they're even willing to reject their mate.

"Several generations ago, rogues are more ferocious and daring. They will attack any pack and trample on them."

"The kingdom even face difficulties in handling this problem." Claude started his story.

"But our pack is one of the biggest and strongest pack in America so no rogue would dare to cross into our territory." Caesar added.

"As the pack grow stronger, we became more ignorant with the rogue situation."

"The fact of rogues attacking our pack never even cross my predecessor's mind. Until that one faithful night, we were all attacked and our pack almost fall."

I've heard Claude story before.

According to the book that I read, several high-ranking members and warriors survive and they start to built their new pack from scratch with the help of the current ruling king at that time.

Caesar decide to explain the rest to me.

"Since then, our predecessor have worked hard to restoring our pack to its past glory and now it's up to us."

"So what's that all got to do with rejecting me?" I questioned them and accidentally using a high-pitched voice.

"We can't let our predecessor's effort go to waste. The both of us need a strong Luna to make this pack even stronger." Caesar looking at me with a firm look.

"You're only a mere servant and judging from your aura, you're not strong enough to lead our pack." What Claude just state made my breathing ragged.

I take a deep breath and process their story. Being the bigger person I decide to give them one more chance.

"Are you sure about rejecting me and accepting Michelle as your mate and luna?" Putting on my disappointed face.

"Michelle is a pure white wolf. She's blessed by the moon goddess herself. Hence, she is worthy to lead our pack alongside us."

Without needing to answer my question, I know that they are dead set in accepting Michelle.

A white wolf is an extremely rare within our kind. Those who possessed this colour, are blessed with agility, power and speed. They could challenge an alpha and still win.

"You used to be our mate. We don't want to see you get hurt, so please back out from this challenge."

"We will talk to Michelle about accepting your submission." Claude plead to me.

"And to humiliate myself even more? I appreciate your concern for me but please, next time, you should keep it to yourself."

They seriously thought that I'm that weak and needing their protection.

"We don't expect you to just surrender without any compensation." Seeing the glint in Caesar's eyes.

"If you decide to surrender, we will make you our mistress. I promise to make our offspring the next alpha."

"I can assure you that you will live luxuriously, more comfortable than your life in the castle."

"But we can't mark you. In order to be Luna, Michelle need our mark." Caesar ended his explanation.

Immediately I burst into laughter, I never laugh this hard my whole life. Every werewolf could possibly hear me from miles away.

They look at me strange as if I grow another head. Without saying anything I just walk away passing them.

"So do you accept our offer?" Claude asking me with an annoyed voice.

"See you at the ring buddy." I just wave my hand in the air while still looking ahead.

I could feel their anger as I walk away. I would have been dead if I'm not their mate as my action could be considered disrespectful.

Within the next hour I'm lying in my bed. I try to contact Sierra and checking whether she have come back.

"Hi Sierra, I know you can hear me and I just want to tell you, please come back soon." I feel myself breaking.

"It's been so lonely without you." I would hear voices every day in my head and when its radio silent, I've become so lonely.

"Tomorrow is my last day to train. That mates of ours ask us to back out of the challenge in exchange for becoming their mistress." I scoff.

"Could you believe it? They really propose that to us." Silent. There's no answer.

I know my worth and becoming some random alpha's mistress isn't worth it.

I decide to sleep and woke up super early the next morning. I would like to practice on my own first before Riley come.

From what I see, Michelle really do look down on us.

She didn't even train these past few days and decide to spend even more time with my mates as if to taunt me.

"Or she doesn't want you to know about her fighting technique so she could have the upper hand."

I suddenly heard a voice inside my head.

"Sierra! You're back!"

"Yes I am and I'm sorry for leaving you for so long."

I start to cry happy tears.

"It's ok, it's only been 2 days. How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine now. The rejection hurt me so much and I need to recuperate. I'm almost back to normal now."

"I'm glad that you've been well. How about a run tonight?"

"PLEASE DO! I NEED IT!!!" I saw her running around getting excited.

"Today is our last day. Let's prepare for tomorrow."

With Sierra reappearance, I'm sure now that we will be able to win the fight.

Not that I'm not sure previously but having Sierra with me just boost my confidence.

I told Riley about Sierra and he said he's glad and he's happy for me. Night time came and I take a run with Sierra.

But we make sure not to let anyone know that Sierra is back. I can't wait for my fight tomorrow.

The day of my challenge finally come. I suit myself up in my training tracksuit. Before the challenge I make sure I drink my potion.

Since this is a fight I need extra precaution to prevent my real aura from leaking out. Once finish, I grab my jacket and exit my room.

The challenge will be held at 11AM. I quickly eat my breakfast and doing some warm up. The fight will be held in the training area.

I decide to take a breather and walk around the forest. As much as I'm prepared for the fight, I can't help but feel nervous.

"Edith, it's time. Michelle is waiting in the arena." I hear Riley mind link me.

"I'm on my way."

Within a few minutes I arrive. I saw all the pack members gather around near the training area. Then I saw them, staring at me were pissed for my late arrival.

Michelle is standing there in the middle and I walk towards the center taking my stance opposite her.

"Scared bitch?"

"Not even the slightest trash." Giving my confidence trash.

"I'll give you one last chance to surrender." She smile mocking me.

"Afraid of losing?" I taunt at her.

"Don't get cocky pup." She reply at me.

"I wonder who's the pup." I reply with a mocking tone, enough to make her lose her temper.

"There you go Edith, continue to taunt her and make her lose her temper. That way she won't be able to fight properly."

"You got it Sierra."

Claude come forward and the whole pack start to quiet down.

"I'll be the judge of this challenge. The winner will be decided if one of the opponent surrender or pass out."

"Using any kind of weapon is prohibited and you're not allowed to shift as well."

" Is everything clear?"

Both of us nod our heads.

"Now, let the fight begin!"

Both of quickly took our stance. I decide to stay put and let her have the first move. I would like to analyse how a legendary white wolf fight.

Michelle launch kicks and punches towards me and I admit, she is fast and I almost got hit a few times. I got punch several times and she really does pack quite a punch.

I've been avoiding her move for the past minutes trying to test her endurance and predicting her move.

"Too scared to fight back?" She taunt me.

I stay silent trying not to break my focus. She continue to taunt and mock me, saying I shouldn't biting off more than I can chew.

Next, Michelle try to punch me on my right face, I quickly slip and parry her hand to the side. I counter-attack by punching her stomach.

She take a step back and saw my expression changes as I'm ready to be on the offense now.

Michelle try to punch me again once more. This time she put more force judging on how tight she grip her fist. She do it so I would be unable to parry her punch.

I block her hand with my right elbow and with my left hand I grip her punching arm locking it. I roll my elbow toward her face and in a few seconds I turn my hand into a fist and punch her face.

She quickly release her other arm from my grip and quickly took a stance before kicking me to my side. I squat so I can evade her move and I lunge toward her.

Michelle see me coming block her face out of reflex using her arm but I'm going after her stomach. I punch as hard as I could making her gasp for air.

After exchanging several punches and kicks, both of our faces are full bloodied and battered. Bruises start to form and cuts start to surfaces.

Since she is a white wolf, she recover quicker than me. I need to end this fight quickly and lay a devastating blow so she wouldn't recover immediately.

While I was busy with my thought, Michelle tackle me down to the ground. My head hit the ground hard and before I could recover, she barrage me with punches.

I'm in a tight spot now, as she use her weight and sit on me while continuously punching me in the face and head. I cover my face using my elbow.

"Edith don't stay on the ground for too long." Sierra reminded me.

"I'm trying to counterattack but it's hard."

I could feel I'm slowly losing. My body is heavy and I'm tired. Feeling my body start to shut down, I start to close my eye wanting to sleep for a few minutes.
