I didn’t buy his bullshit claims; she wanted to punch him in the ce and make a statement.
But it would be wrong to cause a scene and disrupt the ceremony, it wouldn’t look good for either of us, and I don’t want to roll in the dirt with him.
I snatched his phone and input my number in annoyance.
“If you have a problem with me and you’d like to sort it out man to man, give me a call, I will come to where you choose”, I said, and Miguel’s eyes widened.
He wasn’t expecting me to dare him, I guess it was better this way
“If you’re man enough, set a place and time, call me, I’ll be there. Let’s settle whatever grievance you have with me”
Before he could say anything, I pushed past him and walked away.
Luckily for me, after walking for a few minutes, I saw someone waving at me.
I looked closely, and it was Kaia; she was sitting with Justine and Maliya. Zane was nowhere to be seen, and I wondered where he had gone.
“Hey, what took you so long, darling?” Kaia asked, kissing my cheeks when I got to the booth.
“I had a chat with the alpha and Luna, that’s why I took a little while to get here. Not to mention, I couldn’t find our booth,” I explained, and Kaia burst out laughing.
“It’s not funny, I thought I was lost”
“Well, that makes it funnier, Theo,” she said, holding her small bump and laughing, and I smiled, seeing her adorable face. “Imagine an alpha losing his way, that’s so funny!”
“Where is Zane? I can’t see him around,” I asked, looking around
“He excused himself a little while ago to take a call, I’m sure he’s around somewhere”, Justine responded, and I nodded.
“Alright,” I said. “Have you ladies had anything to eat yet?” I asked.
“Not yet, I was thinking the girls and I would go eat over there,” she pointed to a nearby store. “After the opening ceremony
is over”
I looked toward where she pointed; it was small, probably put up to help with accessible food and drink.
The pack had taken responsibility for everything the guests might need, but it’s on the guests if they didn’t eat the food provided at the house. That’s why the restaurants and stores were made available.
“Alright, should I come with you?” I asked.
“No need, it’s just us, girls”, she said, and I pouted.
I know they need their privacy to chat, and I shouldn’t be a fourth wheel.
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?” The MC said, and we all turned to look. “Today, the alphas of all alphas, the ruler of the most powerful and solid pack in our wereworld, will open the ceremony. Please welcome on stage. Alpha Mathew Nightshade and Lady of the South, Luna Morgan Nighshade”
Applause thundered in the open stadium as the couple walked onto the stage.

They were holding hands, smiling, and waving to the crowd as they got on stage.
Then, the stadium fell silent as the alpha assumed the podium to give his speech.

“He-wolves, she-wolves, pups… Wolves of every land gathered here today….When I came up with this tournament, I had only one thought in mind: to unite our world.
Welcome to the All Packs Games, the one time every year when we put aside our differences and let strength meet unity, and rivalry meet respect.
For generations, our people have survived not because we were the strongest alone but because we were the strongest together.
Our unity was our biggest strength, but our people didn’t realiset in time and kept fighting amongst themselves; it was wolves killing wolves for years.
But for years now, we’ve been at peace, and what more could we do to keep the peace and unity intact? A friendly competition, which I call the all-packs games tournament.
These games are more than competition. They are a reminder of who we were before the wars and who we should be after the wars that tore us apart, took lives and destroyed families.
Today, you stand here representing your packs, your bloodlines and your territories, but for the next few days, you will compete not as enemies but as warriors of one nation.
You will race, shift, spar, hunt, strategise, and push yourselves to limits you didn’t know you had. You will show courage and discipline.
And
you will show the world what it truly means to be wolf-born
To the young wolves here for the first time, I say this:
Win with honour. Lose with dignity. And rise every time you fall because that’s what true wolves do.
To the seasoned warriors, teach through your strength. Inspire through your endurance. Lead through your conduct.
And to every Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and warrior standing with us today, thank you for keeping our traditions alive and for ensuring our packs grow stronger with every generation.
Let these games be fierce and unforgettable.
But above all, let them be fair.
May the moon goddess witness our courage.
And
may the best wolves rise, and every pack return home stronger than they arrived.
I, Alpha Mathew Nightshade, declare the All Packs Games Tournament… officially OPEN!”
Applause thudded loudly for a few minutes. A few wolves stood up, excitedly shouting and cheering for the couple as they walked off the stage.
I could see in the crowd’s eyes that they loved the Nightshade couple.
If this were the case, how come they were hated outside and had a reputation as tyrants?
I pushed it to the back of my mind and watched the people cheer until the couple disappeared from their line of sight
When I turned back, Kaia was looking at the crowd, mesmerised and I could understand why she’d feel so.

“Darling?” I said, and she looked at me.
“I’m fine, just thinking of something,” she smiled.
Soon, the games began with the combat and strength games.

I was supposed to take part in this game, but I didn’t sign up. Two of my men did, and they would represent the pack.
I was watching the games keenly when Kais tapped me.
