I followed Edgar to the training room, I was slightly nervous. I would be fighting two of his best female fighters, then one male, and finally, him. I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I need to prove to him that I can do this. That I can join them in the war.
“I’m just going to warn you about Lindsey.” He said, suddenly facing me.
I frowned, “What about her?”
“Me and her…we dated throughout high school. She eventually broke up with me because of my parents, but she stilk sort of…flirts with me.”
I raised an eyebrow, “And why am I just hearing about this?”
“Well, she hated me for a while because I sort of…hit her with the door. On my defense, I didn’t see her!”
I chuckled, “I’ll make it very clear to her that you’re mine. You…you don’t want her still…right?”
He smiled softly at me and gently cupped my cheek. “I love you and only you.”
I searched his eyes for any hint of dishonesty, but there was none. I smiled back at him and kissed him on the lips.
“I love you, now, kick their asses. And kick Lindsey’s just a tiny bit more.” He smirked.
As we stepped in, my eyes immediately connected with a jealous looking she-wolf. She had red hair, emerald colored eyes, and flawless skin. I tilted my head as I studied her, she’s somewhat taller than me and does look gorgeous. I clenched my jaw when her eyes went to Edgar.
She smiled as she walked up to us, I was stunned when she suddenly grabbed Edgar’ shirt. I frowned when I felt his fear, doesn’t this girl know about his PTSD?
What pissed me off further was when she suddenly kissed him. Edgar immediately shoved her off of him, his eyes shined with anger.
“What was that for, baby?” She pouted.
Edgar folded his arms across his chest, “One, don’t call me baby. It’s alpha to you. Second, in case you’re too stupid to figure it out, I’m fully mated to your Luna. Third, she’s sexier than you and actually has a personality. Fourth, stay away from me.”
I smirked as she gaped at him, I then gave her a taste of her own medicine as I gently grabbed my mate and kissed him. This time, Edgar responded and kissed me back. We made out for a bit until we needed to breathe. I then turned towards Lindsey and smiled sweetly at her.
“You’re first.” I stated before stepping into the arena.
Edgar walked away from her and stood beside Short and Mae. Lindsey stepped into the arena and glared at me.
“Bring it on, Luna.” She sneered.
I grinned, “With pleasure.”
Forty-five seconds. That’s how long it took for me to grab her by the throat and pin her down. She growled and clawed at my arm, receiving a growl from Edgar. He didn’t move though, knowing he wasn’t allowed to.
Lindsey snarled loudly before shifting into her wolf, I clenched my jaw as I used my strength to keep her pinned down. She bared her teeth and tried biting me, but she couldn’t. I smirked at her while giving my wolf partial control.
I applied even more pressure on her throat, cutting off her oxygen. She whined and clawed at my arm, but I wasn’t letting go any time soon.
She eventually shifted back, her face had a blue tint to it and her eyes were wide with fear.
“Do you submit?” I questioned.
She nodded. I smiled and let her go, she coughed and gasped for air. I looked over at Edgar to see pride in his eyes. The pack cheered for me before Lindsey was taken away.
I turned to face the other female, she was shorter than me, but I could tell she’s strong.
“Ready?” Edgar asked.
We both nodded as he signaled for us to begin. We circled for a little bit, studying each other. I grinned as she made the first move. She tried punching me, but I quickly caught her fist and squeezed it. She cried out in pain as her knuckles broke.
She held her hand and looked at me with tear filled eyes. I didn’t move though, I gave her a blank look as I awaited her next move.
Multiple times she tried attacking me, but I dodged her each time. It finally got to the point where she submitted without even having me pin her down.
I bit back a laugh when the male backed out, shaking his head and saying I’m going to kick his ass. Edgar chuckled at him before stepping into the arena.
I kept myself from smirking, I know exactly how I’m going to win this one. We circled each other slowly, daring each other to strike first.
Edgar suddenly ran at me and grabbed my wrist. I didn’t flinch or anything, I kept a bored expression. Before he could pull me closer, I jumped up ane kicked him in the face with my feet. He immediately let go and fell backwards, I landed on my feet gracefully. I made a mental note to thank Dimitri for teaching me that move a while ago.
Before he could recover, I lunges at him and punched him in the face. He shook his head and blinked, trying to clear his vision.
I felt guilty as I saw the blood smeared across his face. I didn’t let that hold me back though, I attacked him again. However, he dodged me and swiped his leg under me.
I let out a yelp as I landed on my hands, I tried getting up, but Edgar already had me pinned down. I winced at the painful pressure he was applying to my back, but I refused to submit. I have to win.
I bit my lip and let out a small, pathetic, wimper. I could feel him tense, but he didn’t budge. I then sniffed, acting as if I were crying. He suddenly flipped me over and studied me. Now, time for some real acting.
I forced myself to cry as I looked up at him. His eyes filled with concern and his grip on me loosened. I quickly flipped us and pinned him down, feeling horrible as I applied immense pressure between his ribs. He coughed and tried getting free, but ended up causing more pain for himself.
“Submit yet?” I mused.
He growled, “Fine. I submit. Just let go of me. That fucking hurts.”
I chuckled as I let go, before I could get up though, he stood up. I landed roughly on my shoulder, groaning at the pain.
Edgar turned around and frowned, he immediately helped me up.
“Did I break it? Is it dislocated?” He asked.
“Edgar.”
“You should go to the infirmary.”
“Edgar.”
“Fuck. I hurt you again!”
“Edgar, I’m fine!”
He frowned, “But your shoulder-
“Is fine.” I chuckled.
I sighed as I dried my hair off, chuckling at my currently, ranting mate.
“I sucked!” He fumed.
“Edgar, you’re weaker than I am because of what you went through. You lost a little muscle tone and weight. By the color of your skin and the look in your eyes, I can tell you weren’t feeling the greatest either. Why did you fight anyway?” I asked.
“Because, if you can fight me and win, then you can fight in the war.” He whispered, wrapping hid arms around my waist and pulling me against him.
I smiled, “I love you, you know that, right?”
He chuckled and kissed me on the head, “How could I forget? I love you too, princess.”
