Chapter 4 Friendly Fight

Wax woke up early, it was natural for her to wake up early no matter how late she slept. She was wondering how her classmates would react when they saw her.

Getting used as Roxy was her main reason that's why she wanted to attend school the soonest. Amelie was a warrior and was committed to the pack that’s why she barely had time with Roxy. Now that she has Roxy’s body, Amelie can relax at work and doesn't need to worry.

She went down the stairs and found Amelie at the dining hall. “Come on honey, have breakfast first.” Amelie invited her.

“Thanks mom,” she replied happily as Amelie looked at her wondering whether she would be OK or what, which did not go unnoticed to wax.

“Don’t worry mom, you can do your job in peace. I can perfectly take care of myself. You don’t have to overthink.” Wax assured her.

“Alright, please know that I am always with and for you.” Amelie agreed and sighed heavily.

Wax finished her food and decided to go to school by herself. She found out that Roxy doesn’t have her own car and goes to school by bus. Amelie passed her by but she stopped her.

“Mom, I want to buy a car and a motorcycle.” Amelie looked at her and smiled.

“Alright, but get a drivers license first.” she said, “Do you want me to take you to school?” Amelie asked her which she automatically declined. “I can manage mom,” Wax said, rolling her eyes that made Amelie look at her intently.

“Mom, are you going to take notice of everything that changes in me?” Wax asked.

“Fine, I think you can handle yourself well now.”

“That’s what I had been telling you all along.” Wax said and laughed that made Amelie laugh as well.

Amelie left first and Wax went to the bus stop. There was a bus service available for every werewolves who attended school. As she walked up to the bus, everyone looked at her as she sat on Roxy’s usual spot.

She put on her earphones and listened to the music she downloaded last night and studied the surroundings. It was in her nature to look after the places she was in as an assassin.

She felt the bus stop but ignored whoever came up. It’s not that she didn’t notice, it’s more that she didn’t care.

She thinks everyone was just a kid. Roxy was seventeen and will be turning 18 in the next 2 days. Based on what Roxy knows, she would be having a wolf as soon as she turns 18. It was supposed to be at 16 but Roxy doesn’t know why she didn’t shift.

It turns out that her 18th birthday could be the last time she would be able to know whether she had a wolf or not. It does not bother Wax but to make Roxy’s mom relax, her wolf should surface on that day.

She was thinking of Amelie when someone gave her a tap on her shoulder and asked, “Are you Ok now?” she looked at the familiar face who was now smirking.

“How could I be so lucky?” she thought, smiling. Thinking the boy was way younger to her she didn’t want to apprehend him yet. She would wait for the good and perfect time for revenge. Tony, who was ready to bully her, froze and could not utter a word.

“How did she manage to smile at me like that? She is neither angry nor pleasant to see me.” Tony talked to himself. “Is that the effect of getting into an accident?” Tony could not help but ask Wax who he think was Roxy.

“Why? What's wrong? Is there a problem?” Wax asked him back. Before Tony could answer, the bus stopped at the school ground. Wax stood up and excused herself from Tony.

Tony could not help but give way to her, he didn't know exactly what to do with her now. Previously, Roxy started to cry and could not do anything but to hide from Tony as she didn’t want the latter to see her or she could get hurt.

Tony thinks that there is something that changes with her, she looks confident and cannot be bullied.

“Who does she think she is?” Tony thought and hurriedly got out of the bus. He looked for Roxy and when he found her, he stopped her by pulling her arms.

They were in the staircase and the people who were there noticed them and looked at the commotion.

“What do you want?” Wax Asked Tony.

“What do you mean what do I want? Have you forgotten that I am your master and you are supposed to give respect to me?” Tony said angrily. When he saw that there were a lot of students who were looking, he decided to start bullying her.

“Respect should be earned, not to be asked. Don’t you know that?” Wax asked, which made Tony angry.

“How dare you talk back to me? I am the gammas son and you—” Tony yelled at Wax but had been cut by her.

“Then act like one.”

“What do you mean?”

“Seriously? You are bragging about being a gamma’s son and yet you don’t know the responsibilities tied to it?” Wax answered and roamed her eyes. She found domineering and arrogant eyes looking at her.

She remembers him as one of the onlookers whenever Tony bullied Roxy and he would casually say, “If you are weak, you have no right to be here.” then he would leave. This time he was just looking, probably waiting on yet to come.

“How dare you talk back to me?”

“You see what I mean now? You expect me to respect you when you're like that? Let me tell you this, every time you beat me up you think you are strong right?” Wax asked Tony.

“Of course I am strong, I am the gamma's son and soon to be the gamma of the pack.” Tony bragged.

“So because you're supposed to be gamma, we can talk back at you, fight back at you because that would mean we disrespected you, is that right?” Wax continued asking.

“Of course, you have to bare your neck to me because of my rank.”

“Ok, how can you say you were strong if none of those you fought won't dare fight back because if they do you’d punish them? Did you even go to an actual fight or battle?” Wax asked him.

Everyone was looking at Tony, waiting for his reply.

“That goes for everyone of you, didn’t you hurt me all? Why, because you have your wolf and I don’t have mine. You think you are strong because you have shifted. And to prove how strong you were you hurt me, me a wolf less, good as human and dared not to fight.” Wax said as she looked at everyone.

“Why not try to fight with each other to know how strong you are? Why fight a worthless and wolf-less pack member? If I am worthless, does beating me make you worthy and strong?” Wax long litany.

She looked at Tony and found him furious as well as a few others who could not accept what she had just said.

“You are looking at me as though you wanted a fight, I would not dare. While your 3 lap dogs were holding me you were punching the breath out of me. I would not dare to place my foot on the death's gate. If I manage to survive you'd make your dad punish me for disrespecting you. I am not a fool.” Wax playing mind games with Tony.

Meanwhile, Carter saw Tony, the gamma’s son. He often saw him bullying a woman. He didn’t dare to meddle with their business as he doesn’t want to blow his cover.

He was the royal prince and a future king. He constantly visited different packs and he had been staying here at Crimson Pack territory for at least 7 months. In his stay he constantly sees this particular student who was getting bullied and he remembers telling her that weaklings were not allowed here only to make her fight back.

In his surprise, he saw her again for how many months and with what she had just said, he thought he knew why. He was astounded by every word she said, and he can see a lot of students who I think had bullied her before look down out of shame.

With what the woman said, he was thinking whether Tony would accept the woman's challenge to fight one on one and without being restricted by rank and or authority.

He doesn't know whether Tony understands what situation he was in. If he did not accept, many would think that he was weak and was acting only upon his father’s rank. He was about to step up and inform Tony of this when his future beta mind linked him. “His highness, you know we shouldn’t get involved. We can only expectate.” his future beta reminded him.

He looked at his future beta Nathan who was sending him a warning look. He nodded and was about to leave when he heard Tony.

“Are you telling me that you can beat me but you can’t because you were just being held and that my father was a gamma and was afraid that I would run after him if I lose and you'll get punished for that? Is that it Roxy” Tony said sarcastically.

Prince Carter glanced at the woman whose name was now known as Roxy. He waited for Roxy to answer. She was just looking at Tony and after a few minutes she smiled.

He was shocked, because the smile appeared to be wicked but she looked beautiful to him. He shook his head to ignore that thought.

“It’s not as though you would really fight a wolf-less pack member together with your friends right?” She challenges him again.

“How dare you! You think I could not take you down without my friends? Alright, everyone listen up. I, Tony Lancaster, future gamma of Crimson Pack would like to challenge you Roxy Wales in a one on one fight. In the event either of us got hurt, no punishment for disrespect shall be imposed. This is a friendly battle to determine our strength.” Tony said. Everyone was excited and was waiting for Roxy’s answer.

“I, Roxy Wales, accept your challenge in a friendly fight.”
