Chapter 29
Luna Ember’s POV
I had the camera recording Darien and Alora the moment they stood up from their seats. They made a powerful view as they descended the stairs side by side. The wolves seated to either side of the stairs moving into submissive poses. Some moving to poses of respect. But all felt their combined power as they came down the stairs. Then they were up on the platform and striping to transform.
Darien’s half form was nine foot six to Alora’s nine foot four, both were matched power wise. They came together rapidly after the signal went off, coming together in a boom of power that was audible. Both my son’s have magic in their half forms. Damien’s is a volcanic fire, Darien’s is Electricity. Soon they’re jumping back
from each other, then I see it. They light up Darien’s fur in silver sparks.
I look at Alora and see blue lightning dancing along her fur, and purple fire in her hands. She’s more powerful than I imagined. I was glad I was getting this on camera. Darien had to be ecstatic. He had a new opponent he could fight against using magic. They each had snarly smiles on their muzzles as they looked at each other, then they clashed their lightning.
It skittered outward, panicking some of the wolves in the bottom of the bleachers. It had connected with the walls, climbing almost to the first row of seats. The crack it let out was defining. They were punching and kicking, their hands and feet coated in their magic. Darien’s the silver lightning, for Alora it was purple fire with blue lightning inside the flames.
It looked like a beautiful dance of magic and limbs. Each move a flowing art work of movement and power, and with each connecting blow their was a crack of sound. Then the shake of the bleachers as all that dispersed power hit the walls surrounding the stadium pit that held the platform, on the arena’s floor of our high school’s Coliseum.
Suddenly a burst of silver and blue lightning with a purple flame swirling around it shot up towards the roof, then Darien was flung back from the platform, only stopping when he slammed in to the pits wall and slid to the arena’s floor. He struggled to get up, he took three steps back to the platform then staggered a bit, before collapsing again on the floor.
The roar of the crowd shook the building, the medics rushed over to check on Darien. I wait almost
frozen, then I let out a breath when I hear him say. “Can someone bring me my shorts?” “Oh thank goodness he’s ok.” I say out loud. My mate chuckles. I look at him, my eyes narrowed slightly, he’s still looking down at the floor. “I just think it’s funny Alora has kicked that boy’s ass three rounds in a row.” 2
I giggle for a moment agreeing with my mate. Alora has become very strong. And now Darien has another sparing partner if the grins I could see coming from the now shifted Alora and Darien were anything to go by. Once Darien shifted back, most of the damage had healed itself. He barely had a limp, and that would go away over the next four hours if it was just bruising or muscle strain. Breaks took six to eight hours to heal.
But seeing him walking I knew it was nothing serious, the two go back to
2:14 PM
their seats as the tournament officials announce final rankings of all the wolves. Alora keeping First Rank of the Alpha Class, Darien Second Rank, and one of the boys my mate would be talking to tomorrow, Jaxon was Third rank. Kian, Galen and Serenity held on to the top three ranks of the elite class, Matt securing fourth rank.
The Senior’s were then released for the day, the next two days of tests required pen’s and pencils. Alora only has two of those, both in the morning of the next two days. She wouldn’t have to attend the last week and a half. That was usually the time students who missed the original exam date, could take make up tests. My phone rings, it’s Darien.
I look up at my mate and tell him where we were meeting the kids. We look at Boris and Lissanna, “We’ll see you two later at the meeting.” I say as my way of goodbye, they nod then leave in their own direction. We get to the locker rooms that are underneath the bleachers, behind the arena’s pit walls. Darien is already standing there fully dressed again.
4 PM 0 have had more children. But every time I came into my heat something would happen that would keep us from coming together. 2
He starts to look nervous. “Mom, why are you smiling like that?” he asks me, with no reason to hide it, so I tell him. “Because Serenity comes from a home bursting with pups, that means I’ll get plenty of grandchildren!” I finish in a tone that is practically a squeal in my excitement. Serenity’s Mom, who is down here as well, had a smile lighting up her face.

I'm really enjoying the story but the overuse of "my mate" starts to get old. Also, I understand that it isn't a final edited copy but lot of grammatical and spelling errors that I'm coming across on all the chapters. Is there someone editing this? Is there a way to remove the update references?...
