Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100

I don’t know how long I had been sitting there, but when Metallica’s ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls‘ began to play, it was like a beacon calling to me and I could no longer sit still. Running in place, pushups, sit–ups, whatever I could physically do in the cramped space I began to do and when AC/DC’s ‘Back in Black‘ started up, I was ready to explode into my wolf form. Never had I been so pumped and ready.

I didn’t hear the roar of the crowd’s arrival, or the call for introductions over the loud music

cranking in my ears. I was in a full on dance, head banging and sweat already dripping from my forehead when the door opened.

I didn’t stop the song, but let it fuel and propel me forward and towards the center of the arena. My arms were pumping in the air and I had never been more ready for anything than this challenge. As the song began its closure, the deafening roar of the crowd grew louder than my music. I turned and waved to my pack and even blew my girl a kiss, much to the dismay of the Council, as my father desperately tried to reign in the noise.

As I removed my headphones, smiling, I was greeted by loud boos as young Matt Snyder entered the arena. He looked small and scared, but the pup was scrappy, raising his arms, begging them to continue and fueling himself off the negativity towards him. I knew immediately this was a kid who’d fight til his dying breath giving, 200% and refuse to back down. The thought immediately sobered my post musical high.

It took a few minutes longer before Dad was able to calm the crowd down and begin the formal ceremonial start to the challenge and giving the pup one last chance to pull out, which of course he

refused.

When Dad called the challenge to order, I shook hands with Matt and we both moved to our designated side of the arena and stripped to prepare to shift. I heard a little growl in the back of my mind coming through the bond, and couldn’t wipe the smile from my face. Not having been raised around shifters, Kelsey still didn’t understand how nudity really wasn’t a big deal, but a part of me liked her jealous streak at others seeing me that way.

The signal was given and I quickly shifted and stalked toward the pup as he took his sweet time shifting into his wolf. I tried not to roll my wolf eyes. In the time it took him to shift, I could have ended the entire fight, but I waited for him to at least change.

When he finally changed, I saw the ugliest, scrawniest pup I’d ever laid eyes on. Some sort of white colored wolf with black and brown and grey spots in weird shapes. I felt even more sorry for the kid. Not allowing my wolf to take full control, I held back to see what he’d do. He pounced around

erratically. No rhythm or rhyme whatsoever. I waited until he finally approached. I wanted this to be quick and over already.

I tried to find a pattern to his movements where there were none. That was perhaps his best advantage and he was driving me, crazy circling me without any forward movement. What was he waiting for? I finally lunged toward him and he sprang in the air like a scared cat and landed on my back immediately clawing and biting at anything he could, which ended up being mostly air. When he finally landed a swipe across the back of my neck that made contact I roared back and shook hard throwing him off of me. He landed with a thud hard on the ground. I heard a bone break, but he was already trying to get back up.
