Big Bad Wolfie novel Chapter 27

"Wow," she chuckled, "Please, teach me the way of the girl."

I laughed along with her. "I got you."

Wolfie shot me a look.

"Just not right now," I tacked on.

"Oh," She gave her brother the side eye, "right," she rolled her eyes.

"Woah, woah, woah," Wolfie turned to me. "Why not now?"

I raised a brow, "Really?"

"Yeah, why not?" He stayed staring at me.

He's got some hidden agenda. He has to. There's no way he'd magically be okay with this.

But I'm kind of down to see what it is.

"Alright then," I turned to Jazmine, "I guess we can —"

  "Hold on, you think I'm gonna put my sister in your hands just like that?" He shook his head. "No, we've got to see what you can do first."

And, there it is.

"Gamma Aden, would you mind assisting us in doing just that?"

He shrugged, "Sure, why not."

"Jason!" I heard a slightly familiar voice call, interrupting us.

We turned to see the alpha and luna coming towards us.

"Jason," the luna repeated once they were closer. "How's it been going?" She shot a glance my way.

"Well. We are about to test Maria here's strength," Wolfie told her.

They were silent for a few seconds.

Then the alpha turned to Jazmine, "I thought we told you not to let him do anything stupid."

I put my hand over my mouth to hide the huge snort.

Jazmine put her hands up, "I tried, but he condemned me to the training area," she glared daggers at him again.

Awe, and she was just starting to let it go.

"Well what's done is done," Wolfie gritted out, clearly not happy with that exchange. "Maria, get on the mat," he bit.

Well okay then.

  I walked a few steps onto the mat, opposite to their gamma.

  I looked him up and down. I have to be cautious. Gammas are one of the strongest people in a pack.

  "Ready?" Wolfie asked.

  We both got down into fighting positions and nodded.

  "Wait!" Their luna cut in from her spot on the side lines. "Are you boys sure about this? She is a pure blood."

  Wolfie turned to me, looking like he just had the realization of his life, "You are a pure blood aren't you?" He mumbled his next few words under his breath, "I forgot. . . That explains a lot."

  Everyone was silent for a few seconds.

  I clapped loudly, startling Jazmine a little bit, "I'm sure it does," I turned to their gamma, "You still down to fight?"

  He shrugged, "sure."

  Their luna looked concerned but didn't necessarily wanna show it.

  "Don't worry Luna," I addressed her.

  All eyes were immediately on me.

  Her mate's, her son's, her daughter's, her  gamma's. All their stares intently on me, making sure I don't disrespect or harm their Luna in any way.

She doesn't seem the least bit concerned.

  Luckily for them, she's right not to feel threatened. That's FAR from what this is about.

  "It's just a sparing match. We both know not to let it get too serious," I stated nonchalantly.

  She let out the smallest breath of relief. Even the alpha seems to have a little less tension in his shoulders.

  I turned back to their gamma and he just has an amused look on his face. Probably thinks his alpha and Luna are crazy for being this worried about little ol' me.

  I smiled back.

  He's right, this is gonna be fun.

We got back down into fighting positions.

"Don't worry," their gamma grinned. "I'll go easy on you."

I nodded with a smile, "Thanks."

How nice of him.

•••Jason's POV•••

'Yeah, you better go easy on her, if you want to keep your limbs attached to your body.'

I swear to the goddess, if he hurts her too bad. . .

I had to take a deep breath to calm myself down. I stretched out my fingers from their balled up position at my sides.

It'll be fine. Aden knows not to go too hard on people like her, that's why I let her go in the first place.

Plus, she needs to be put in her place, so a couple of bumps and bruises will do her good.

  They were still for a few seconds, analyzing each other.

  Oddly enough, Maria looks like the epitome of calm. There's no tension in her beautiful face, and there may even be a ghost of a smile gracing it.

  Aden looks like the epitome of amused.

  This surly is going to be interesting.

  They circled each other for another second, then Aden pounced. He didn't charge full speed and didn't even bother keeping his hands up to guard his face.

  He went for a right hook, and when Maria dodged that easily, he went left then right again. She swiftly ducked under his swings and came up behind him only to send two jabs to his side while his guard was down.

   He winced but nodded in approval, "Not bad."

  Maria nodded back.

  They held each other's stares for a second, then Aden dove right back in. A little faster this time.

  He sent a kick that would have landed right on her chest and had her falling back if she hadn't deflected it beautifully. He was quick to deliver another jab to her face with his left fist but she blocked that too, so before it even had time to fall back to his side, his right shot out to nail her in the nose.

  'Oh h3ll no —'

  She caught his fist in her hand before it could connect with her face.

  That's kinda hot.

  Maria used her hold on his fist to pull him forward and jab her knee into his gut repeatedly.

  A series of winces accompanied by "oh's" rang out from the sidelines.

  Aden attempted to stand upright after the blow, but only got an elbow to the face.

  A symphony "Ah's" and cringes sounded.

  Finally, she twisted his arm and flung him to the ground in a flip.

  Okay, super hot.

  Aden groaned, clearly not expecting this to be a challenge.

  Who the h3ll did expect this to be a challenge?

  I turned to my mom and found her mid eye roll beside my dad who's just shaking his head.

  Oh wait. . .

  I turned back to Maria and Aden and found Maria standing back to let Aden regain his footing.
