Chapter 322
I’d let our friends know what was happening when I arrived let them knew that h
leave the competition early So they knew abort må æberdeen my buddahen a he competition began.
There are five of us refereeing the competition and the ford reward of 200 dude wome each have to ref forty fights. We had our mates draw the names and put up a hoard werth, whe fighting whom and the referee assigned so that we could make owe that we see texted the two fights at once and everyone knew the order of their fight. So if the fight was referezay finished quickly, then the next two could step in, and the competition would confuet
We set up our five areas and made sure our groups knew where to go. After that it was up mates to help answer questions because the five of us went nearly non-stop for the text wx hour Sophie brought me water and updated me periodically that she hadn’t heard anything from Lucas No news is good news. I hope
I had hoped to be down to 25 by the end of day one, but I hadn’t taken into consideration ho hard these individuals would be fighting. This is a huge opportunity, and they all realize that they are fighting to have their own pack Thankfully, our mates were keeping track, so after a short break for dinner where I called Lucas and found out that nothing was happening in the pack, 1 went back in, this time for 20 fights
Our mates made sure to keep it fair by putting winners of the early fights in the early second rounds. I was proud to see that many of my warriors had made it through to the second round and those that didn’t asked if they could return home to help guard that pack. I was thankful to them They didn’t seem upset that they needed to leave, but rather, they seemed proud that they had competed and wanted to get back to work. And while I was happy that so many of my warriors made it through to the second round, I was thankful to have more warriors back home, protecting the pack
The second round was even more grueling than the first round. This time, I had to end two fights where the person losing refused to give up. I knew Kayce had to end a fight in the first round and so did Ezra, but these were the first two that I’d had to stop. The loser wasn’t happy, mouthing off about favoritism and getting in my face until Shaw pushed forward, putting him in his place, and forcing his submission. For both of the individuals that didn’t want to give up. I made a note of who their Alpha was to have them follow up with them later
It’s late at night before the final match is over, mine going the longest because of the two fights that I had to end. By then, all of us were pretty tired and no one wanted to waste their down time
partying unce the battles
My warriors that didn’t win in the second round, asked if they could rear case wing to be there if the pack is attacked I told them to go together, in case they came across Zatus pack on the way I don’t want to lose pack members because they accidentally crossed paths with the attacking pack
“Hunter, come to bed,” Sophie says, holding out her hand to me
I turn and look at her as I stop my pacing
“Lucas will call if they are attacked. Or Kinsley will and then they’ll call when it’s done.”
I go to her, setting the phone on the nightstand, kicking off my shoes and crawling into bed behind her, tugging her against me and burying my face in her hair
“I feel like a terrible Alpha I feel like Joshua or Elias, someone who leaves their pack to slaughter while I go hide.” I tell her honestly
