Filed To Story: Fated is Overrated Novel Free by Brenda Minnaard
Lex charges me with his wolf speed and I just barely manage to drop to the ground before he can hit me. I kick him in his private parts with all my strength (and added strength from Liberty). He actually gets launched a little in the process despite his massive weight. He curls up in a ball and howls in pain, before I yell “last warning!”. Despite him/ them being an *sshole/ *ssholes, I can’t bring myself to mutilate someone permanently because he beat up Tom and wants me gone. Tom, although badly beaten, will heal and has nothing permanent. But I will defend myself by any means possible. Lex shifts back to Zeke, and he shouts “YOU B*TCH!” while still holding his private parts. I smirk and shout back “karma is a b*tch, isn’t it? But only since you are too”. I know this isn’t the best quote coming from me, as my life isn’t exactly peaches either. So I guess I have been the biggest b*tch there is to have deserved that. But in his case, it works as well.
As he is still regaining composure, I can see the King and Queen approach from behind Zeke. I just stand here waiting for his next move with my arms folded across my chest, as I am assuming he will lunge the second his nuts will allow him. And as if on cue, he jumps up and bolts towards me. With the first punch he tries to land, I catch his fist before making contact and jerk his arm towards his back. I pull it roughly whilst holding his arm and hand in a vice grip, using my other arm to wrap around his throat in a choke hold. Once again, I have him pinned. Although he is trying, he can’t break free. Before he thinks about shifting again, I whisper in his ear “don’t you think about shifting again. First off, you’ll look weak in front of everyone and, secondly, I will fight dirty and cause permanent damage. You know I can”. He growls loudly, but it’s not really that impressive when you are being held in a chokehold. Of course the pup’s ego won’t allow him to surrender out loud, so I whisper to him “surrender, and I will let you go. Nobody has to know, but I need you to surrender and step away when I release you. If you agree to surrendering, just say my name”.
He thrashes a bit more before realizing it is really futile. And hurtful. He then softly says my name through gritted teeth, obviously not happy to have to surrender to me, but he had no viable alternative. I would have asphyxiated him had he not surrendered. I release my grip and push him forward and away from me. Although I knew they weren’t exactly gentlemen – I wasn’t expecting him to come at me right after I had just given him an escape. He catches me completely off guard and his fist connects with my face so hard that I am launched a few yards back and land on my *ss. My cheek feels as if some bones have been broken, and I can feel thick warm liquid dripping down. I don’t have to check to know it is blood. That mother*cker. Just when I have jumped up again, fuming, the trainer yells for us to switch teams again. That wasn’t 10 minutes already, was it? Of course, the f*cker had to land one last sleezy blow after having given him mercy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ordered the trainer to call it quits now, so he could close off with the last blow. Although my rage is still rampant, I can’t ignore the trainer and just attack the alpha prince in his territory. I have enough sense to realize that, despite the anger fogging my mind. I wanted to do so much more to him for doing Tom like that, but I am way too kind in fights, apparently. Giving people mercy who are unworthy of it. I am such a fool. He hadn’t shown Tom any mercy either, had he?
The moment I saw dumb & dumber at the training ground earlier, I knew they were gunning for me. I also noticed Zeke speaking with the trainer, who gave him some confused expressions and that’s all I needed to know what was coming. So, I decided I was going to reserve my energy for when they would challenge me. I’d rather lose to all the warriors and not get my *ss annihilated by those 2, than do my best against the warriors and being squashed like a bug by the 2 f*cktards. I already noticed they hadn’t joined the endurance training or the obstacle course, so they would already be a lot more energized than I was. This feud they have with me is getting personal, and I refuse to back down.
Lola POV
The only thing I really despised was how Zeke did a number on Tom though, poor thing. As he was transported to the pack hospital, I promised I would visit him later on today. I really like Tom, he has been nothing but kind to me and even gave me tips for the obstacle course. He saved my life the other day at the lake and, as he is such a gentleman, I gave him my first kiss ever. When Zeke wanted to spar with Tom, I already knew what they were planning on doing and to say I hate those f*ckers would be an understatement. When I saw Tom dropping and not getting up, I was conflicted as hell with my emotions. Normally when I get this livid, there is nothing else I can see, feel or hear – my anger is all consuming. But now, I also felt a big rush of concern and sadness wash over me to see the only person I actually like here (besides the Queen) lying almost unconscious. My concern prevailed and I rushed to his side. Not that I could do much, except reprimand the trainer, this was so uncalled for! Liberty was fuming as well and we had a hard time keeping her hidden.
After my match with Zeke, there suddenly aren’t too many warriors wanting to spar with me. Before the match, there were a few approaching me all at once even. Yet now everybody avoids my gaze. But, of course and as suspected, conceited pup #2 wants a shot too. Zane is aware his parents are watching, so I’m sure he is going to give it his all. I am unsure whether or not to hold back as I really don’t want my *ss to get kicked by him, but I don’t want his overly perceptive parents to notice my wolf isn’t dormant. Kicking around their son who’s about double my weight might tip that off. ‘Just kick his *ss. The Queen suspects something is different about us anyway. I can tell by the way she looks at us’ Liberty chimes in. I love having a sassy wolf. No wolf in their right mind would be happy to attack a prince in front of the King and Queen, especially them being their mate at that. ‘Hey hey! You know I can hear that!’. I just laugh at her mock offense.
I am brought back to reality when the trainer yells for us all to begin. As Zane is always the hot-headed one, I was expecting him to charge straight away, but he doesn’t. I noticed he had watched me spar, so he knows my strategy and some of my moves. We are circling each other waiting for the other to make a move. Although I really don’t like to make the first move, ever, we can’t circle each other forever. So I run towards him at my full human speed. I make a feint towards the ground as he was probably expecting me to slide to the ground. It is one of my signature moves, and he had watched me pull that one already. As expected, he drops towards the ground, hoping to end this session soon by pinning me immediately. I shoot up at the last minute and, as he also tries to get up, I kick his abdomen with both my legs, using the momentum from the speed I was carrying and whilst hanging midair myself. He drops a few yards back, and I know I have poked the bear just enough to not have to be the instigator anymore. The hothead will definitely lose his temper and patience now. And, right on cue, he jumps back up growling at me, before racing towards me with his black eyes. His speed catches me off guard, and he is able to land a blow to the same jaw Zeke had just hit. I have to admit that blow f*cking hurts. The pups know how to land a punch if he can get one in.
