The Rejected Daughter Of An Alpha novel Chapter 16

"I feel horrible."

"You could have told us to leave. I could have come up with an excuse to get us out of there."

"No baby. That's not why I feel horrible."

"Then why mom?"

"I feel horrible because I felt complete. Being together and just talking to each other. My wolf was just so calm. I shouldn't feel like that. I should have felt pain. I should have felt anger. I should have felt anything except complete. I just want to be around him more. Why?" Tears are now leaking from her eyes and she puts her head in her hands.

"Mom. Everything happens for a reason. I can't tell you why Luna made it this way. Would you prefer not being around him for the rest of the trip?"

"You can't predict what will happen in the next couple of days. It may come to having to meet with him. I'll just have to live."

"As long as you promise to actually live than I won't object." I say with a smile.

"Hey, I have a 'meeting' in town later tonight, so I'll leave before dinner and be back around midnight."

Warm ups don't take long and my coach took a special trip out here to be here for this fight even though it's not all that necessary. Before long, I'm called out onto the stage. "White Tiger" has already been called out and is standing across the ring from me. She's a 5'9" girl that is super beefy and obviously has come this far from pure strength. I'm smaller so I can probably move a little faster than her. I haven't seen her fight so I can't make an informed decision on her quick thinking.

The ref talks for a moment and explains the rules which are basically 1: No hidden weapons and 2: Avoid death, and were told to begin. She charges at me and bends at the waist to throw me over her shoulder. I side step her and she runs into the ropes before turning around. She looks at me with a little more rage in her eyes. So she has a quick temper. She charges towards me again and this time I step to the side and stick my arm out to clothesline her. It works but she grabs me on her way down and I do feel my shoulder pop. I'm sure it was audible throughout the room.

I pop my shoulder and stand up and see her still down but very close to getting up. I quickly grab her arm and pull her up before ramming my head into hers. While this slightly disorients me, it does a lot more damage to her than me, seeing as how she was already messed up from the fall. while she's trying to get settled again, I send a hard punch to her gut that has her doubling over and gasping for air. I give her a moment to catch her breath and she stands up fully again. Her eyes are still dilating meaning she still not quite right after the blows to the head and lack of oxygen in her lungs, but she attempts to attack anyway.

She tries to punch me and almost hits me square in the jaw, but I'm able to dodge just in time so that it just barely Knicks my jaw. I'll have a slight bruise there for a little bit but it'll go away before I go home. I grab her hand before it goes too far past my head and bend it in a way that will disable her but not break the bone. She sucks in air through her teeth and tries to use her non-dominant hand to throw a punch and, because she's not well practiced with that hand, the punch is quite sloppy and easy to block. I do a roundhouse kick and land it on her head. This knocks her out and ends the match. The ref comes in to check on her and I also check her pulse and the other injuries as well as her pupils to make sure she doesn't have a concussion. After making sure my opponent isn't too horribly damaged, I change and head home.
