Chapter 28 The Challenge

Winter's pov.

"You ready to see brother's match with Joe sweety?" I ask Lilly.

"No..I liked Joe Mommy. Now we cant be friend's it's all stupid brother's fault."

"Would you rather go to Aunt Autumn's? Tell me now Lilly cause I don't want to have to turn around."

"Yes, Auntie Autumn's will be much, much better."

"Okay will stop by there if not I'm sure grandpa a grandma won't mind at all."

"Okay." Lilly sighs.

She's so sad. This is the life of wolves though. She's lucky her brother care's so much. I didn't have a brother I wonder if I did would he had torn Richard up all those year's ago I'd like to think Alpha or not a brother would have. I pull into my parent's drive. I get out go around and unbuckle Lilly.

"Come on Lilly," I say.

My mom step's out on the porch. "Hay darling what bring's you guy's by aren't you supposed to be heading to Julius's match?" She asks.

"Yeah, Lilly wants to come to stay with you guys she doesn't want to see them fighting," I tell her.

"Grandma!" Lilly shouts. Running into my mom's arms.

"Oh, my Lilly is definitely welcome to stay here with us. How about some milk and cookie?" My mom asks her.

"Yea!" Lilly yells and claps her hands.

"Okay, I have to get going. Richard pulled Julius out early today so I better get going or he'll worry and won't start the match." I tell mom. Julious has always been like that no matter the situation.

"Okay see you later love you," Mom says blowing me a kiss. I blow her one back and get back in my car.

Richard didn't text or call today. It kinda pissed me off he just checked Julious out didn't tell me. His teacher did it at lunch. Everything's so complicated right now...and it's his fault he asked Ryan to come I didn't...I wouldn't have. I know Ryan's mad he probably feels I betrayed him. I bet he thinks I fucking owe him. I don't owe him shit. I didn't ask for shit. There was no relationship between us. I know he loved me though.. I saw it. My wolf would never settle for him though would never crave him or want him. His wolf had no one to love because Ryan's mate had died. Mine, on the other hand, knew our mate was very much alive with or without his fucking mark.

I pull up to the training facility it's packed. I already feel my mate's presence. I feel he's full of tension and not at ease. I get out and make my way to the entrance and then through the door, I can't believe how crowded it is here. Wolves everywhere. Word must have gotten out about Alpha's son.

That's just fantastic. All a sudden my arm's grabbed. I look up at the person who has a grip on my arm's and freeze its none other than Ryan himself. Are you fucking kidding me they let this man run freely around here?

"You think you can just take off and leave with no word? Did you think I wouldn't come to get you eventually?" He seethes. I swallow fear coursing threw my vein's sending a shiver through my body.

"Ryan my Alpha demanded my return immediately. My family's here. Please don't do this." I whisper yell. He's angry I feel it rolling off his muscular body.

But before he even has a chance to say another word were interrupted.

"Ryan I assure you if you don't remove you fucking paw's off my Luna you won't be leaving here today." Richard growl's furious. I feel his anger wash over me like fire. Ryan's grip immediately releases I rub my now sore forearm. Damn, he can grip.

"Winter and I were just catching up Richard for ol time's sake," Ryan tells Richard but, when he gazes back at me it's menacing and evil and dark. Scary!

" Note..it won't be told twice understood. You came here to discuss things with me not my Luna."Richard says venomously.

"She's lived in my pack for the last six year's Richard and I can't speak with her now?" Ryan asks. He asks calmly though he knows in less he brought an army with him there's nothing he can do at this moment. His guys no matter how good they are can't take on all of Richard's wolves.

"No..I advise keeping your distance and don't touch what's rightfully mine..and I assure you she's definitely mine," Richard says angered. Ryan then looks at my neck to see if I've been marked. Then he smiles evilly at me. Happy with his findings. Say's nothing just leaves's with his guy's further inside to watch the impending match.

Richard then grabs the same arm Ryan did about the same force I mean damn what's with these Alpha pricks.

"Stay near me until the match is over. When it's over I will have someone accompany you to your parent's you'll stay put till further notice. Do you understand?" I nod. I don't know what to think why would I be sent to my parent's is he really that mad at me? I know he hasn't spoken a word to me since this morning and now I'm being shipped to moms like luggage. Whatever I've got a match to attend.

So I follow Richard to the fighting mat. "Where's Julious?"I ask. He doesn't answer but Josh does instead. Fine. Be like that. I'm able to challenge his ass in a minute if he keeps pissing my inner beast off fucker.

"It's like MMA fight he will come out when his name is called. Feel me?" Josh tells me. I nod to pissed to speak. I don't remember asking him anyways.

The announcer then makes his way to the middle of the mat. Then I see Julious on the left end more ap and Joe his competition on the right end more ap. Both look mad. Both ready. Both bouncing in they're spots shacking their limbs here and there.

"To your left, we have Julious Mongolian, the son of Alpha Richard Mongolian, age five.. four foot two inches and sixty pounds." The crowd cheer's loudly especially Ryan's guy's."To your right, we have Joe Black, the son of Edmond Black, age five..four foot two and a half inches.. sixty-two pounds." The crowd cheer's again. "Julious come take the mic and make your challenge." The announcer states. Julius makes his way over fiercely and intimidating.

He speaks loud venomously.

"When I win Joe, you are to never touch Lilly Mongolian ever again or death will come to you. That's my challenge." He growls out. He sounds just like Richard dear Moon Goddess I'm in trouble. He gives the announcer back the mic.

"Step forward Joe and make your challenge." Joe grabs" the mic and just as Julious, states angrily. "I accept your challenge..and when I win you will have no further say in what I do." He growls out. He can't ever kill Julious he's the heir to the line of Mongolian but, Julious would lose his honor if he lost and went back on their challenge.

The announcer then states "We shall begin when the bell sounds. No low blows are fare to your opponent LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN!" He says and walk's off the mat.

They take off at a male violent menacing walk toward's one another. The air around them becomes volcanic with their anger rolling off in waves. The room becomes silent with anticipation. They begin to circle one another. They both come to a stop and throw a right punch at the same time both hitting their mark on the left cheek of each other's face. You hear it echo through the room with its power. Both stumble back for them then to take one step toward's one another. Again both throwing uppercut's at the same moment both hitting their target's. The sound loudly bouncing through the room causing wince's in its wake. They both then stumble back two-foot shaking their heads to regain focus. The menacing ora around them becoming thicker fiercer and more violent with their anger.

Joe seems to be a bit slower this time stocking toward's Julious.

Julious stop's in a crouch and block's his face giving Joe the opportunity to rain punch after punch with his fist. Julious knew he'd take the bait. Julious continues to allow blow after blow to his midsection till you hear a crack in the air..most likely one of his ribs. The boy has tried conceivably..all part of Julious's plan I'm sure. Then out of nowhere come's the final blow. Julious makes a strong stand..with all his power throw's a right-hand punch into the side of Joe's head. Joe sway's on the spot. Then drop's to the ground unconscious. Julious gaining victory. The crowd goes wild it's so loud my ears are ringing.

Julious is not a bad kid he could have ended that match within second's but he chose to give his opponent some honor and Julious does like to give a show!

Julious is taken to the locker's by the official for the medic to examine him. We don't announce the winner's in our challenges. We're a pack this was typical family feud we all know who won no need to boast..we're still family with Joe the opponent. Another medic is waking Joe up at this moment. They'll be a little bruised up and Julious a cracked rib but they'll heal fast and Julious has his honor and Lilly's protection in one match. Very proud of my boy.

"Josh will escort you and Julious to your parent's house. Remember I said to stay there." Richard says lowly with a scroll.

I say. "Okay." Sarcastically with my own scroll. I want to ask why but the look on his face makes me thank otherwise. I don't care. My priorities are Julious and Lilly..he can fuck off. He's like been standing six feet away from me all night like what the shit is his damn problem.....

P.S.) Don't forget to vote :P

Thank you!
