Ever since Jack told the pack about me being his mate there hasn't been a single person that hasn't "Good Morning Luna." since that day. I'm technically not Luna yet since there hasn't been a coronation to welcome me into the pack. After I dropped my mom at the pack hospital I woke up in my bed I guess I'll have to ask Asher about that. I took a quick shower dressed in gray sweatpants and a baggy gray 'Affliction' shirt. I made my way into the kitchen for coffee i didn't sleep well last night. Being concerned about my mother's health and wondering what happened to her when she was kidnapped by the vampires and all those questions in my head too.
"Earth to Alex" Jack's hand waving in my face.
"Hmm. oh hi Alpha what can I do for you?"
"Just making sure you weren't going to murder the coffee." he chuckled at his joke.
"Jack?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you know who took me to my room last night?"
"I did." he made himself a cup of coffee. Black like his soul I scoffed at my insult.
"You did?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Oh just wondering." I finished my coffee and decided to hunt Asher down.
"Queen?" Jack reached out to grab my wrist.
"Yes?"
"Don't forget you have to plan your coordination."
"Oh, ok" I left the kitchen to find Asher. Asher was out on the training ground. Once I got closer I could see Asher was sparring with Liam. Looked like Asher was getting his ass beat.
"Look at that Asher can't beat someone as old as dirt." I laughed as he turned to glare but got pinned instead. He looked at Liam.
"Rule number one, never take your eyes off the enemy or you'll die."
"I know." Asher rolled his eyes as he said that.
"Alexandra, would you like to spar?"
"Sure, I've been wanting to beat something up." I went inside to change into black basketball shorts and a blue tang top. I put my hair up in a messy bun so it doesn't get in my face. I went back to the training grounds and Asher was on the bench.
"Got tired of getting your ass beat?"
"Just you wait sis." I stretched my muscles and hips. then I took my stance 4 feet away from Liam waiting to see if he was going to make the first move. I saw Liam's eyes flash to the same red flames Asher had, so I flashed my blue flames in my eyes at him. He looked shocked for a second too long I made my move kicking his legs out from under him and succeeding in pinning him to the ground.
"Dead." I smiled but Liam made his move, grabbing my ankle and rolling us pinning me. Liam looked at Asher.
"Rule number two, never let your guard down." I smiled as I rolled us again pinning his arms with my hands and my feet across his thighs keeping him down.
"Rule number one, never take your eyes off your enemy."
"Good job, but I'd suggest you get off of me." He wasn't looking at me but behind me. I turned to look and surprise, Jack was there looking angry. I got off of Liam and went to where Asher was to get some water.
"Well, that went well." Asher said sarcastically.
"Shut it, Asher." I rolled my eyes as I walked away. I made it 5 steps out of the circular dirt before I got pinned on the ground face down.
"You need to leave this pack and leave the Alpha." Some high-pitch female spoke trying to intimidate me. I let Nica come forward enough to have my voice rumble as I spoke.
"I suggest you get off of me before the only thing you remember is your name."
"You think you can scare me?"
"Eva get your filthy hands off of my mate now." Jack's voice echoed and I knew he was fighting Rex from shifting. Eva I guess that's her name instantly got off of me, I stood on my own refusing help from Jack. Eva had long fake platinum-blonde hair and blue eyes she was very petite.
"I suggest that I don't see your face again or else." She smiled.
"Or else what?" I let my blue flames show as I watched the fear take over her face.
"Or you won't live to see the next day."
"Fine, then I challenge you for rank." Before I could say anything Jack pulled me away.
"Jack, stop."
"No, I can't let you accept or deny until you hear what I have to say."
"Fine."
"In my pack, when challenged for rank you battle to the death, and Eva is the top female warrior here, if you accept I don't think she'll go easy she'll fight dirty and cheap."
"Is that all?"
"Yes, but please do not lose if you do accept."
"I won't." I walked back to Eva.
"I accept your challenge today at 19:00 sharp."
"Ok, hope you'll be ready to die by then." She walked away from me and towards the training grounds.
"1900? Are you crazy? You barely beat Liam!" Of course, Asher was peeping
"Asher why do you keep peeping it's my life."
"Because you don't think! Jack back me up." He looked at Jack waiting for a response.
"Actually she chose right if she declined then all the she-wolves would come to challenge her for rank."
"See, for once I was right."
"I think you just want to kill someone." I checked the time on my phone.
"Well, I got an hour 'till my death." I smiled at my joke as the guys glared at me as I walked away, and just on cue my stomach growled. I don't eat enough for a wolf I guess it's my vamp side that causes that. I got inside of the pack house and made myself some chicken and cheese taquitos. Once my food was done I went to my room to enjoy the peace as I ate. I turned my radio on and put on Summertime Sadness. I finished eating and changed my shirt to just a sports bra, making sure my tattoo was visible. It was a rose bush that starts under my breast and stops mid-thigh. I checked the time again. 10 minutes 'till my death.
'Quit thinking like that'
'Why Nica you heard Jack and Asher. She's the best female warrior and we barely beat Liam.'
'No, you barely beat Liam.'
'Ok, I get it.' I made my way to the arena, it seemed like the entire pack was there Jack was in the middle of the arena, I guess he's the referee. I reached him and he looked me over, his gaze staying on my tattoo. He leaned over closer to me.
"I didn't know you had a tattoo, my Queen." He whispered low enough for only me to hear him.
"Neither does Asher." I smiled as he pulled away and Eva walked up to us.
"Are you ready to die rogue mutt?" I smiled at her insult.
"That's the best you could do Barbie?" She rolled her eyes as Jack addressed the pack.
"Ladies and gentlemen we are here today because Eva White challenged Alexandra Black to rank." He turned his attention back to us.
"Shift when I say and not sooner, I want a clean fight no dirty or cheap shots got it?"
"Yes, Alpha." I think I gagged when she said it like he's her mate.
"Yes, Jack." She growled at the disrespect towards her alpha.
"Shift!" Jack backed up as Eva shifted to a light sandy brown wolf, I shifted to my pure white wolf with ice blue tips and I could hear the crowd gasp at my wolf.
