Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

“Yes, Pack Alpha,” a booming, unified voice responded from the pack.

“Kelsey and Christine please move to the designated circles.” I followed his order and moved to a circle on my far left and she moved to the far right. It put some distance between us to allow time for the change. “Prepare to shift.” Christine stripped leaving her clothes in a pile at her feet and standing naked before the crowd. I chose to remain in my clothes daring them to make me remove them. I saw Jason Westin raise an eye at me and I nodded slightly. “Okay, well, face each other please.” We did so and this time I looked right at her with just enough authority to make her shake as she fought to maintain eye contact. “Let the battle begin.” There was a chorus of howls surrounding us.

I didn’t hesitate and shifted in midair like an explosion of fur as I lunged towards her. I caught the panic in her eye as she shifted much slower, but managed to fully shift before I was upon her. She crouched low and we began circling each other. I lunged forward and tried to gauge her reaction and speed. I knew I was faster than her, but distance speed was not the same as combat speed in close proximity.

I felt the shift in her as she gave herself over to her wolf and I suddenly understood what Mary had meant when she told me she had trained me differently from the others. I felt no human presence before me, only animal, and my wolf wanted nothing more than to follow her lead and take full control, but I was stronger and knew we’d be better off together.

I watched Christine’s black wolf circle me as easy prey. She was quite large next to my small blonde wolf. I knew my size made me look like easy prey. Let her believe that for now. She lunged at me and I easily side stepped away from her. We did this for quite awhile, just circling and testing each other. She’d lunge, I’d move. I’d lunge, she’d move.

I watched and waited for the time to make my move. She lunged to the left and so did I slamming right into her. I heard the gasp from the crowd and tried to push it out of my mind. Her wolf was pinned and snarling and snapping at me. I growled and she settled slightly, but my mistake came as I took that as a sign of submission. It wasn’t. She pushed up and forward, knocking me off my guard. I stumbled backwards and she continued with her momentum and in seconds had me pinned on my back. I flailed my paws, kicking out at her, to no avail. She clamped down on my shoulder, missing my neck by mere inches. I howled out in pain.

She continued, relentlessly attacking and I was on the defense just trying to protect my neck and block her bites. I had been so certain of this battle. So, confident in my ability to fight and here I was letting her get the upper hand. I considered giving fully into my wolf, but I knew I couldn’t. I was as good as dead if that happened, even if I did win. I had to think. I had to remember what Mary and the girls had taught me. Focus on my training and most importantly I had to get away from Christine

and clear my head for an attack.

I let my body go slack. I felt Kyle’s fear and stress rise at the same time Christine’s dwindled. Cocky little thing she was. But I used that to my benefit as she began an early celebration instead of using the advantage to go in for the kill. It didn’t take much to knock her off guard and get back to my feet then. She growled at me, but I was already off and sprinting at full speed. There really wasn’t anywhere to run, but I had some energy I needed to burn off or my alpha powers were going to explode, so I ran along the side of the arena as fast as I could, just running in circles. At first, she

made attempts to snap at me as I passed her, but eventually she retreated to the middle of the arena

and just watched and waited.

When I felt a little more in control of myself I turned and ran right at her, full force. She didn’t know what was coming. I leapt on her back and she managed to throw me off. Teeth were bared, jaws snapping, as we equally attacked each other. I was getting good at reading her moves, but she switched it up and went low when I thought she’d go high. She bit down on my right upper leg. The same spot that was thin and balding in wolf form and covered in skin grafts in human form. She

locked her jaws and I felt the blood gushing from me.
