Chapter 309
“Damn. I’d probably have gone straight for the kill, but humiliation like that makes a much bigger impact,” Robin says.
“It did, and word travelled fast. No one else questioned the need to open the pack to a challenge in Joshua’s or my father’s packs,” Margot says, holding Ezra’s gaze. The heat and chemistry between them is thick in the air. I’m surprised, and pleased, when she leans in and kisses him lightly and quickly on the lips. I’m not sure which of them was more shocked at her action, her or Ezra.
“I should, um…get to bed,” she says, obviously embarrassed by her outward display of affection.
“Do
you have everything you need?” Ezra asks her, as she stands.
“Yes, thank you,” she says, before saying goodnight and walking inside the packhouse.
Ezra’s gazes follows her until she’s inside before turning back to see all of us smirking at him.
“Shut up,” he growls, making all of us laugh.
“So, things are going well?” I ask him.
“They are. It’s taking time, but I knew it would. Having Luna June there with us is making things easier, I think. She’s such a natural Luna. The pack adores her and Margot. Margot’s just more hesitant to

act like atuna because she hasn’t accepted me yet.”
“Doesn’t look like it will be that much longer,” Kayce says to him
Ezra shrugs. “However long it takes, I’ll wait. It’ll be worth every minute of waiting if I can one day have what all of you have.”
Since we all agree, we call it a night, going to snuggle with our mates.
The next morning, we sit around the fire pits again, eating breakfast and letting the group know that they can sign up to compete if they are interested.
We go through the rules, explaining that names will be drawn at random and it’s a single elimination, meaning if you lose, you’re out. We, the Alphas, will be referees to ensure that no one continues to the point where their lives are at stake, as this is meant to be a friendly competition, not a death match. Alphas will not be able to referee fights with one of their pack members in it, but since there are so many of us, we don’t see the issue. Once the first round of fights are over, there will be a short break and then the second round of fights will begin. This will continue until one person is left standing and that person will be given the title of Alpha.
In the end, I’m excited to see that over two hundred individuals sign
up to compete. We set the date for one week from today and then it’s time to pack up and head home.

I say goodbye to my friends again but this time, it’s not so sad. I know I’ll see them again in a week, but we also talked about meeting to

discuss the mountain area. Everyone loved our idea of the play area for the pups and the trails for wolves, not just pups, to run when they need to get away. If it becomes a community area, we can all take it on as part of our protection, making sure that if anyone calls out for help, we respond. Since we’re meeting back here in a week anyway, we decide to come with our ideas and, when we have some time, we can go over the ideas together.
Lucas decided that he doesn’t want to compete for this pack. I’m glad because I really want him to go for Alaric’s old pack. Hunter told me that Calvin brought up that pack too, and I plan to talk to Amelia about it. I didn’t get the impression that she wanted to expand our father’s pack.
Hunter straps our bags on me again, making sure nothing is pinching or rubbing too much, before shifting and laying down. I begin my struggle to get onto Shaw again, when I hear Nikki.
