When it came time for Serenity’s match I looked at Darien, he was drooling. The desire in his eyes as he looked at Serenity was electric,
his attention entirely focused on her as she fought. I bet she could feel his gaze on her, it had to be intense. It makes me long to feel that
kind of connection with my own male. I was hoping the Moon Goddess would bless us with a second chance mate. Someone who can love
all of me, someone to appreciates me.
Right now that dream feels unachievable. So I’ll have to focus on other things for now. Like my own fights coming up, I would be battling
four opponents this time around. Jamison, Lexus, Jaxon, and Darien. I was actually looking forward to it. Darien was to fight, Garrett,
Mason, Lexus then me.
For Jaxon, who I was now keeping an eye on, as he’s a really close cousin to Serenity and her brothers. He was the same age as the Twins, being raised together made him like another brother to them. He was to fight Garrett, Jamison, Lexus, and me. Lexus’s fourth opponent was Jamison. Jamison’s fourth opponent was, Mason. Garrett and Mason as the bottom two ranks of the class only had three opponents to
fight, and were each other’s third battle.
Everyone was waiting around for the Alpha Class’s battles. They all knew how epic the battles were between the Seniors of the Alpha Class. We were the strongest, to begin with. And we all have only gotten stronger. With my new acceptance of my destiny I felt like my strength had tripled, almost like the chains I felt breaking in Xena’s ‘space‘ hadn’t just been holding my magic back, but holding me back physically as well. Then a memory comes forth, It was about one of the few times I had come close to beating Brock.
It had been during a fall afternoon in one of the outside training rings. The trees were bursting with color, reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. The wind was blowing the leaves already liberally littering the ground and taking more from the trees. The sun was still out and the sky was a beautiful blue with a few clouds, and the earth was damp. I knew because I had been on my back on the ground looking up
at the sky panting heavily.
That’s when he said. “Somethings holding you back girly, you nearly had me, once you find out what’s holding you back and break it, trust me, you’ll be unstoppable, now that’s a sight I would love to see.” He had knelt down offering me a hand, looking me directly in the eye he said. “You got what it takes to be a great Alpha Alora, one day you’ll see it too.” I didn’t believe him at the time. But now I know what
he meant.
I looked over at the area all the Trainers were sitting in, and he was there. I’ve been his student for the last four years. He felt as much of a father figure as the Alpha did. He was going to be able to see me without the chains that had been holding me back. I felt happy to know he was here to witness my transformation. I watch as he pulls out his phone, he reads whatever was sent to him, smirks at it, and then types a reply. He’s got that smile that says he knows he has annoyed someone, and is gloatingly happy about it. Wonder who the
message was to?

I’d sent a message to that old man Brock asking if he could record Alora’s fight for me. He would be sitting with the other trainers in the Arena and they had front row seats. His message was deliberately irritating, and I growled in annoyance. The old man still knew how to
get to me.
If I didn’t respect him so much I’d teach him a lesson when I got back home. But he did make a point, even if I was reluctant to admit it. “If you wanted to watch her fight, you could have come to the tournament yourself today,” I growl again reading his message.

I should have gone, but I had stayed away. My attraction for her had grown for her over the last two years, it was becoming an obsession. I knew it was inappropriate, so I stayed away. Convincing myself to be satisfied with the reports and pictures I occasionally got from my family. Soon the excuse of school would be no more. I would graduate soon, our finals started in two weeks, then we would be going
home.
She was eighteen now and had been rejected by her mate. I abruptly cut off that line of thinking before any hope could form. She had another mate out there somewhere. And if I touched her even once…I would never let her go.
