Mated to the Alpha King-Book 1 novel Chapter 24

"Please, call me Dom, all my friends do."

"Alright Dom. You can call me Audrey."

Dom drops to one knee and places his fist over his heart before speaking again.

"My loyalty is to you Luna Audrey. Jorgie and I are at your service no matter the hour and will be rooting for you in the challenge."

"Thank you Dom. Now I should probably get ready and you,Lucas, need to go with Dom to set up for the fight. I'll see you guys later."

I go to walk away but Lucas wraps his hand around my wrist, spinning me to face him. Lucas quickly places a kiss on my lips before releasing me.

"I'll see you soon baby."

Walking out of the ballroom I think about how I'm going to win this fight. To keep my throne and my mate.

Lucas said that we are to fight in wolf form. That means that you will have my strength and we both know how to fight like that. Don't worry. Anything that pup will through at us, we will come back at her with 10x the strength and elegance.

You're right Kenna! We can do this!

When am I ever wrong?

Whatever. Love you Kenna!

Love you too Audrey.

Walking into the house a sense of calm washes over me. The trip to the bedroom is full of silence until I open the door. I'm bombarded with hugs and fretful women. Everyone starts talking at once and it takes everything within me to not yell at them to shut up.

I raise my hand up to my shoulder and the room falls into silence.

"Thank you. I know you all are worried but there is no need. I wouldn't have agreed to fight if I didn't think I could win. Now. Help me get ready?"

The twins and Jorgie nod their heads and help me out of my dress and undo my hair.

Kendra is the first to speak.

"Aella will fight dirty. You need to be prepared for cheap shots."

"Thank you for the warning but I learned how to fight whilst in a cage and against wolves three times my size."

Jorgie was next.

"How did you learn to fight?Adaline told me you lived in a cell and all you were allowed to do was chores?"

"I learned by Alpha Jordan teaching me. He didn't like how I would just scream when he came into my cell, so he taught me some defencive moves in human form and wolf so that I could try to fight him off when he came to give me wolfsbane shots every two weeks. It helped up his ego when he would get me to surrender."

"That's messed up."

Dom comes out of nowhere to help lead the girls and I to the clearing.

Once we pass the last group of trees silence falls over the crowd. Aella and her group pass through the last bit of trees the same time we do.

Her entourage is wearing matching black shorts and bright pink tank tops that show a little too much in my opinion. So much for trying to scare us, cause they look like rip off barbie dolls.

Lucas is standing in the middle of the clearing wearing only a pair of black jeans. If I somehow die today, I'm glad I got to see his beautiful abs one last time.

"Audrey. Aella. Come to the center."

His voice rings through the forest and I can't help the shiver that runs down my spine from hearing his voice sounding so demanding.

As I get closer the more adrenaline courses through my body. I'm more than ready to teach Aella a lesson.

Ready Kenna?

I've been ready since this pup made the challenge!

Lucas voice snaps me back to the situation at hand.

"The rules are simple. Whoever surrenders first loses the match. The winner decides the fate of the loser. The fight will happen in wolf form and you will not be permitted to shift back until someone surrenders. Understood?"
