Chapter 3
Erika's POV
Charles and Steve walked over. I knew
what Steve was up to. I dared him to challenge me during the meeting yesterday.
He really came to challenge me.
Alpha’s gaze shifted between me and
Steve. Charles sighed audibly and spoke, "Beta Steve wants to challenge
you to the death for the Gamma position. Twelve o’clock tonight, right
here."
I nodded without hesitation.
"He hopes that you two can fight
in wolf form." Charles said.
Then Charles mind-linked me
immediately. Don't accept it. You don't stand a chance in wolf form.
I didn't obey Charles.
Instead, I accepted the challenge without
hesitation. They should know better about my wolf form.
"Good. See you tonight,"
Steve said with a crooked smile, looking as if I was doomed to fail.
Charles shot me a glare and then left.
I arrived at the training ground five
minutes before the challenge began. It was packed with warriors, women, and
even pups. They seemed quite excited. But for me it was only a common night,
eating dinner, taking someone’s life, and sleeping. The only difference was
that there was no rogue-hunting tonight.
"Erika! Erika! Erika…" My
students were cheering up for me.
But not everyone thought that I could win.
"I’ve never seen Erika fight in
wolf form. Who do you think will win?"
"I bet Erika can win. She is
awesome!"
"But that’s in human form.
Steve's wolf is very strong."
"Yes, his wolf is crazy."
"I think Erika's wolf is weak.
That's why she seldom fights in wolf form."
People were talking about who would
win. Most thought that Steve would win. It was funny that they thought I didn't
fight in wolf form because my wolf was not strong enough. The fact was that I
was ten times more violent when I was in wolf form. Steve would be killed
anyway. But he chose the hard way. My wolf had already been excited. She was
thirsty for blood.
"You are going to fight in wolf
form, right?" Richard walked over and asked in curiosity.
Yes, I’ll maul him. I mind-linked him
confidently.
"But you haven’t fought in wolf
form for a long time. Are you sure you can…" Richard didn’t finish his
words and looked at me doubtfully.
You don’t think I can win? Do you
want to try it first? I mind-linked.
"Hey, show some respect to me!
I'm the future alpha!" Richard grumbled.
I rolled my eyes and thought, "I
only show respect to the dead."
Suddenly, I heard quick footsteps and
heavy breaths behind me. A wolf was approaching me at a fast speed. It was just
behind my back.
I turned around and dodged
immediately. It was Steve. He tried to sneak attack me!
"What the hell?" Richard swore and got
out of the training ground immediately.
The challenge hadn’t officially begun
and Steve attempted to attack me behind my back while I was still talking with
Richard. What a wicky sneaky man!
I shifted into wolf form and growled
fiercely at him. Then I sped up and pounded on him.
"Well, it seems that the
challenge has begun without me announcing it," Charles explained to the
crowd, sounding angry.
Steve’s wolf glowered at me. He indeed looked much
stronger than me. But his slow movement was fatal.
I jumped up to attack him. Steve also
jumped up to fight me. But I soon changed my direction and now I was behind his
back. Before he realized what was happening. I jumped to his back and sank my
teeth into his neck.
Sudden pain in his neck drove him
wild. He began to move wildly and tried to shake me off his body.
I predicted his movements. So, I
jumped down from his body in time before he got wild. He turned around and
glared at me, his breath accelerating. I bet he must be furious.
"Only one minute after the
challenge began, Steve has been hurt heavily. He is pressing his wound, trying
to stop bleeding. But he is still bleeding. He is at a disadvantage now. Unless
he can end the challenge quickly, he stands no chance to win the
challenge."
"Bravo!" I heard my pup
students shouting.
Of course, it wouldn’t end quickly.
The game had just begun. I could kill him with one blow, but he didn’t deserve
a quick death.
He jumped up and tried to slash my
head with one claw. He was indeed very strong and he could knock out a strong
adult wolf with one blow. So I turned around and ran quickly. I climbed on a
wall, flipped in the air, and stepped on Steve’s one eye hard and my nails left
two long wounds on his face.
I didn’t like Steve’s eyes. He always
glared at me and there was hatred in his eyes.
I landed on the ground safe and
sound. Steve launched another attack with a roar. I fell down and rolled on the
ground to avoid his attack.
"What a fabulous challenge!
Steve is hurt heavily but he keeps attacking. He really has an incredible
tolerance for pain."
I rolled to the corner of the ground
and got up. Blood was all over Steve’s face and neck. But he still leaped
forward. Unfortunately, he couldn’t target me because of his injured eye. I
kicked him on his bleeding neck and he fell to the ground on his back.
"Oh, that must hurt a lot."
Charles gloated.
Steve was panting and whining. His
neck was heavily injured and bleeding profusely. He struggled to turn over and
stand up. But he failed after several attempts. Poor Steve. It must be
desperate to be dizzy because of the loss of blood while the enemy didn't even
sweat.
I walked over and slapped him on his
head, putting an end to his vain attempts.
