Chapter 10
The screen switched to display all of us from first rank, from me to the lowest rank. I hoped my parents were watching their status among the Northmountain’s diminish and lower with each moment they realized they could have used me to be number one. But now that I changed my name it was
Sarah’s lack of success that is going to bring them down.
‘Pissed is going to be an understatement. These fights also determine the future placement in the Northmountain’s clan’s structure. Because I changed my name, Mason’s family will now be top–ranked among the Northmountain’s, my parents have just been knocked down to the bottom.” he looks at me with shocked eyes. “Oh shit,‘ he says, the smile he gets as he figures it out is wide. “Now you are getting why I changed my name before the exams,” I say.
The first match is Garrett and Mason, and Mason came out on top, the next match was Jamison and Jaxon, with Jaxon coming out on top. Then it was Lexus and Darien, with Darien coming out on top. Because I was a top student I wasn’t in the first rounds.
Mason and Jaxon fought next. Jaxon came out on top of that fight, meaning he was my first opponent. Then me and Darien would fight. I stand up, stretch, pop my neck, and start making my way down to the floor, to the Arena I would be battling in.
I get my head into the battle. Start to think of facts. Making a plan. Jaxon like Darian and the Twins was six foot five, he also had large solid muscles. He
wasn’t just strong he was fast too. But then, I was too. I was the fastest.

I could use my speed to add three to five times the power behind my hits depending on what move I used. I like to hit nerve points that deadened the reflexes, crippling an opponent for a moment, enough to land more blows for a win and not a kill.
I had different skills that I’d use for a kill. Jaxon’s picture was up next to mine, his human form stood legs spread arms crossed, and he was tan with fiery red hair. His wolf, a big red muscular brute, sat with a calm and steady look.
The wolf was only two or three inches bigger than my Xena, she was the biggest she–wolf in the pack. The size of an Alpha is one more thing that marks me as a Heartsong. My blood starts to heat, I feel the adrenaline start to fill my veins. I wasn’t going to be holding back today. Xena’s excitement at the impending battle was big. She was just as charged. We were finally going to be able to showcase our skills.
I’ve been training with the Alpha’s Elite soldiers for years now. Then they brought in the senior class to the dojo arena I had been doing my training in for the last three years already. I had been careful to not showcase the extent of my training, but I was too competitive in a fight to not come out on top. I was basically used to help train my fellow seniors.
Luckily my parents haven’t opened up a single piece of mail or read any notice from the school that had my name on it in the last four years. So they have completely missed all my college accomplishments, my name change, and my training advancement and ranking.
That and per the Alpha, as of last year, all my school mail went to him. Because he was Alpha he actually had the authority to sign off on anything school- related. I was in a Pack High School and a Pack University. Making things a lot easier for me, than they would have been if I had been in human–run
schools.
I make it into the arena and look up at where my parents are sitting. Their fury was a living breathing thing, but I wasn’t afraid anymore. I was an Adult, and the Alpha was able to keep them from harming my education. If they kicked me out early I’m pretty sure the Alpha will let me move into the pack
house early.
So I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start.

This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.

Chapter 10
Sitting in a luxury office chair behind an antique desk in a private study at an Alpha university was an Alpha wolf nearly complete with training, and looking forward to going back home to his Pack. In his hand is the most recent picture of a violet–eyed beauty.
He still remembers the blood and mud–covered, half–drowned little pup he had found on the side of the river near the Pack House. He had helped his mother nurse the pup back to health before they returned her to her parents.
The hand not holding the picture tightened into an angry fist, he hated those people, no matter how hard they tried to intervene, she was still abused. He
told his father he wanted her protected. It was part of his deal to go away to this prestigious Alpha training school.
Only the best go here, and only the strongest, Alpha and Beta’s graduate. His little brother had been her best friend for a very long time. He almost felt
jealous of their deep connection, wishing he had a deep connection of his own with her.

His brother would text him with updates, one such update several years back had him calling his father, demanding he find a way to free her from her
parents. His brother had told him she hadn’t been to school in a week, he knew something was wrong.
