Chapter 3

Alexia's POV Round two was where we had to shift to our wolf form and fight our opponent. As werewolves, we are used to nakedness, however, at Camp Rogue, you were respected like any other wolf hence you could chose to shift away from the crowd. Shifting required stripping off your clothes and I was more than happy to strip them off behind closed doors. The guards ushered me to the pavilion and I stripped off my sports bra, shorts and underwear in the locker room. My wolf was in somewhat of a happy mood and of course she had to be chirpy as we had won the first round with ease. Oh you don't know what am I happy about she chirped as I crouched on the ground to shift. Our focus since day one has been winning this competition for a better life. Just win this one I told her as thought about my wolf form and heard my bones crackling. My paws were now touching the ground and my golden brown wolf was now in control. === As I sprinted in wolf form to the arena, at a distance I could see Gerald's reddish brown wolf. This was not the first time we saw each other's wolves as during training we were always made to go for weekly runs in our wolf forms. The referee began his announcement again. "Round two. Wolf forms. The aim is to pin and not to maim. The time is two minutes. If no competitor is pinned by the end of two minutes, we repeat the round." B A M! As soon as the bullet was shot in the air, Gerald charged at me. Bad move. I sprinted ahead and crouched on the ground and Gerald flew over me, landing a few feet behind me. I spun behind and before he could turn around, I jumped on top of him and anchored my claws to maintain support. Gerald's wolf was strong as he had Warrior blood, however, what he lacked was technique. Fighting techniques could only be inculcated with extensive training and presence of mind, irrespective of your lineage. Suddenly, I was thrown off his back to and my back hit the ground a few feet away. In a few seconds I got to my all fours and barred my canines at him. Gerald has a smug look on his face which I wanted to wipe off. I did not want my temper get the best of me, hence I started circling by the edge to find a window of opportunity to attack. He copied the same stance. The boy was learning. After what seemed like thirty seconds of circling, I charged at full speed towards him. However, before I could claw at him, he charged at me and threw me a few feet away. Exactly what I wanted. I had trained enough to learn that you need to get on your feet the moment you fall down in order to avoid getting pinned. The moment I had fallen to left side, I clawed my right foreleg into mud and got up with lighting speed. As I turned around, the reddish brown wolf was charging at me and in a blink of the second I crouched and made a leap to pin him. Within a few seconds I landed on the wolf's back and clawed his back to avoid getting thrown away like the last time. As soon as I landed on my opponent's back, a bullet shot in the air. And that is how the mayhem began. Colin's POV Round Two was where I would see her wolf and my wolf was howling with excitement. It took a lot of strength to not rush to the arena and mark her as mine. I was thankful that she had not chosen to strip her clothes and change into her wolf form in the arena itself, in front of so many wolves. I said a small prayer to the Moon Goddess to help me control my wolf if she was ever naked in front of me. A golden brown wolf was entering the arena from where she had gone to change. Gerald's wolf was also brown but it was more red. Her wolf is so beautiful said Leon, my wolf, dreamily. I know, I wonder what's her name I said. We better find out soon said Leon. The referee began his announcement again and shot the bullet in the air. As soon as the bullet was shot in the air, Gerald's wolf charged at my baby. I held my breath. My mate was quick enough to crouch such that Gerald flew over her. In a split of a second, she was on his back. Watch out pup, she is my Luna. But before I could rejoice her move, she was thrown off his back. As a sudden reflex I was on my feet in a jiffy to see if my baby was okay. Oh Moon Goddess, please help her. She got up and barred her canines at the pup. A smug expression took over my face. Remember to never make her angry whistled Leon. After a few seconds, Brandon tugged at me. "Alpha, you may want to sit down." I looked down to see him looking at me with a smirk. I sat down with a grunt. They had started circling again, sizing each other up. After a few seconds she charged at him and he deflected her easily throwing her a few feet away. The pup was now charging at her. My wolf whined. So did I. But what happened next, totally blew my mind. The moment she hit the ground, she got up in nanoseconds and leaped on him. The moment she landed on the wolf's back, a bullet was shot in the air. That is weird, shouldn't it be a whistle? After what felt like an eternity, a few seconds later, some humans barged into the audience with guns and started shooting into the crowd. "Everyone crouch down, we are under attack" shouted the referee from the central podium. Crackling sounds filled the place with each wolf changing into their wolf form and attacking the closest human to them. Brandon and I changed into our wolf forms and ran towards the nearest human yielding a gun. Hunters with silver bullets, be careful I screamed through my mind-link so that Brandon could hear. Yes Alpha he said as he lept and mauled the hunter before he could pull the trigger. I turned around and saw Alpha Nathan fighting a hunter. On instinct, I ran towards him but the dirtbag pulled the trigger at Nathan before I could reach him. Nathan's wolf fell flying backwards. Leon howled and attacked the hunter before he could reload the shotgun. One bite and the hunter was dead. Colle, check on your mate! shouted Brandon through the mind-link. That was enough to get me sprinting to the arena.
