Wanting to get the ceremony over with, Neron rose from his seat and speedily marched towards the podium on the stage. Kiya's brown eyes followed his every movement, smirking at his obvious dishevelment. It elated a deep part of her, looking at the Alpha's disordered appearance, aware of his eyes burning into her flesh.
Everyone noticed their Alpha standing at the podium, all conversation fading to silence.
"I'm sure you all are wondering why I've gathered you together for this occasion." Neron's voice carried throughout the hall, bouncing off the pristine walls. Unmated she-wolves swooned in their seats for the Alpha, while the Garnet Moon group remained stoic or rolled their eyes.
"The recent rogue attacks have plagued our tight-knit community with despair and destruction. We've lost family and friends. Children lost their parents, and mates lost their other halves. This cannot go on, for our survival is at stake. I had the pleasure of meeting with my fellow Alpha, Anthony Guerrero of the renowned Garnet Moon Pack. After lengthy discussions, we've come to an agreement where he not only sends aid to the affected families but loans us his best trainers to train our warriors until a select few prove themselves worthy for the open Delta titles. Without further ado, I would like to introduce Alpha Anthony and his chosen warriors."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"That's our cue." Alpha Anthony mind-linked his group, who all stood up in unison, Claps and a few stray whistles erupted from the crowd as they watched the group of seven walked onto the stage. Both Alphas shook hands, exchanging words of confidence in whispers as the six fighters stood strong and tall by each other.
Kiya's eyes scanned the crowd with an indifferent expression, void of affection and joy. She spotted many familiar faces, especially her denounced family. She could see Raina and Valerian sitting next to each other with their bundle of joy swinging his legs in his seat. Next to them were her former parents. She resisted the urge to spit over her left shoulder at the mere sight of them.
The crowd disgusted her. Here they are, sitting with an overflowing hope that she and her friends would help. them regain the strength they've lost. She'd walk away from all if she had the opportunity. But her eyes spotted the children of all shapes, sizes, colors, and genders.
She's doing this for them. Them and their innocent parents.
The height differences between the six warriors stood out the most. The shortest is Kiya, and the tallest were Jacqueline and Darien. Each of them stood strong and proud next to one another, unstoppable forces that could not be budged. Alpha Anthony took to the podium, smiling as Neron took a step back.
"Thank you, Neron. It is a pleasure to be in the presence of a great pack. The threats of rogues are horrendous, for there is no shortage of packs who have suffered because of these mongrels. Unfortunately, some have fallen to absolute ruin." Many mumbles of concern swam through the atmosphere. "However, our goal is not to let this pack fall victim to soulless wolves. You all have a powerful leader who will lead you to victory, and I'm here to lend my support and help to further enforce the power you all hold."
His eyes darted to his group. "I'm proud to have selected this fine group of warriors to be your temporary trainers. They all worked hard to get to where they are right now. Each has strengths within their rights, Chapter 43 The Punch

They aren't intended to replace your Deltas, but to seek those strong enough to take up the mantles that have been lost too soon. 06:28 expect you all to treat them with the same level of respect that they would give you."
"Like that will ever happen." Kiya and Artemis muttered in unison.
The introductions led on, the Alpha expressing each warrior's skills and specialties, his eyes sparkling with pride. Applause followed as the group took to their seats once again for the arriving dinner, ignoring the looks they received from the crowd. Neron stalked Kiya's every move, from the flicking of her fingers, to the sways of her hips, to the powerful strides she made when it was time for everyone to mingle.
Conversation boomed in the air as the Garnet Moon warriors got to know many of the members and met a few warriors eager to be taught by members of the warrior pack. Alpha Anthony gained a fan club of his own, unmated she-wolves competed for his attention, ignoring the fact that he was fully mated with a child. Despite being in a relationship with Odessa, Neron is on the hunt. His Alpha instincts claimed his rationale, yearning for Kiya. Mindful of his appearance, he scoured the crowd for the woman in black.
The mass of curly hair escapes him with every attempt he made, either blocked by a wolf or disappearing into the crowd. He wanted to know who she is and why he couldn't pick out her scent. Onyx grew more and more restless, his beastly nature aching to make their claim on the woman. He isn't just sensing the beautiful lady: he could sense the wolf deep within her.
And he wanted her now.

This party is boring.
And hated every single moment of the mingling.
Many of the pack members I recognized didn't recognize me. How could they? I was full-figured with muscle and dolled up. Part of me is disappointed, but another part of me is excited, expecting their reactions once they see their former slave had made her reappearance.
And this time, she knows how to fight back.
I called it a night after escaping the clutches of some unmated males needy for attention. Mind-linking my brother and friends a good night, I made my way back to my room. The hallways were just as I remembered it, desolate and polished. My heels scuffed at the tiled floors, a distant memory of polishing the crevices creeping back up in my memory. I remember it all, how hard I worked to make these floors sparkle.
Now, they don't sparkle anymore.
Heading up the stairs to the third floor is when the scent hit my nose. The scent that erupted a volcano of rage deep within the pits of my belly. The damned scent of sandalwood, sage, and ginger. There's one thing I knew for sure.
Neron was following me.
I have an inkling as to why.

+10% Bonus Before I could take another step, I was pushed against the wall by a hand body. Powerful heat encompassed me, worsened by my black dress. Large hands gripped my wrists, pinning them against the wall behind 06:26 brown eyes met blue, flickering to black. Heavy huffs of air Ised my face and neck, the culprit's face mere inches from mine.
I'm not scared. I was for a mere second, but then it died like maythes at the day's end. Neron pants heavily above me, his six feet five stature swallowing mine at my fire feet five.
"Who are you?" He growled, his voice straining for control.
I scoffed. "It seems like barbarism is a common trait amongst men of this pack. Who do you think you are restraining me like this?"
His eyes promptly shut, his nose sniffing the air smiled as he failed to pick up my scent. "You're a wolf, and yet you carry no scent. Why is that?"
"That's for me to know and for you to never find out." I rolled my eyes. "I'm not in the mood for this. Are your going to let me go or what?"
His color-shifting eyes flickered in sadness, one hand releasing my right fist. His fingers grazed my cheek with the gentleness of cotton, full of affection, T'm so sorry. You look...like someone I once knew...and miss dearly."
My rage exploded. Emotions combusted in me like a raging wildfire, threatening to do as much damage as possible.
Will I regret what I am about to do? Neu Will it have repercussions? Maybe.
Do I care? Nope.
I punched Neron in the face. That satisfying crack of his nose sent tingles down my spine, awakening a spive awakenin vident grin gr my face. Crimson spiked, and it was his for a change. The Alpha growled as he clutched his brokem nose, some droplets of blood ending up on his suit. I shook my hand to ease the pain.
Sweet payback for all the times he punched me in the face.
"Let's get one thing straight, Alpha," I growled, Artemis inside me was at full stance, also glaring att Werron. Although, I have a feeling Ve staring down the wolf in him. "Don't I she was ever touch me. I don't give a shit how much you miss this mystery person, but you will not do this to me again. I'm here under the discretion of my Alpha, and I be damned if you think you can treat me as an object.
"But do tell me one thing, Alpha," I smirked, my eyes glittering. My fingertips reached to his face m mimicking the same action he did to me. My eyes stared deep into his, burning every pointed emerian I have to twist his heart. "Does it hurt to desire what you could never have?"
His eyes widened as big as saucers, electric blue swimming in shock and dismay. His sittin lost its color and words were lost to him. His blood-stained lips were paralyzed in his fear. Feeling satisfied, I turned to walk back to my room, my heels clicked with every step I took..
"That little number is nothing compared to what is in store for you, Neron." And with that, I slammed my door shut, disappearing for the rest of the evening.
