One to love one to abuse 78.
Chapter 78.
Alisons POV
I wake the next morning feeling good, I jump in the shower standing under the hot water enjoying the moment soaking it all in. Running my hands along my stomach I invision two healthy, plump smiling, happy little baby’s.
I relax under the water when I hear the door click open as a very tired Evan comes stumbling in.
“Did you take your vitamins this morning?” He asks as I rinse my hair.
“Not yet, I was going to take them after my shower, what time is it?” I ask while he pulls the curtain back stepping in behind me.
“Almost 8 am, the tournament resumes at 10. Is there anyone standing out to you so far?” He asks as I step aside letting him join me under the water.
“I liked Sloan, she seemed to think through each attack and strategize, the men just tried to use brute force.” I say softly grabbing my tooth brush putting tooth paste across it.
“Well lets see how she fights today in wolf form.” He states while washing up.
I finish rinsing off and get out leaving Evan to shower alone while I go to my closet to get dressed, I pick out a soft pink knee length dress with a white shawl and cream coloured flats. Evan comes in staring at me as we make direct eye contact, I clue in and go to my side table to grab my vitamins.
“Thank you.” He says calmly as I choke them back with water. Evan finishes getting ready and we head to the kitchen to get a quick breakfast before we need to be back in the arena.
Parker and Valerie join us for breakfast just as Salem comes barreling down the stairs.
“I smell pancakes!” He yells pushing past Valerie jumping in to his chair making me giggle, this kid is obsessed with food. When we’re done we have bout 45 minutes till we need to get started so Evan and I decide to head over to the arena to greet everyone who will be joining us today.
Once in the balcony we notice the competitors already in the ring training, pack members already filing in to support them and Evan stands to speak.
“We have 45 minutes till we begin, first pair up will be Clayton versus Bradley, second pair will be Blanch agianst Sloan and lastly is Brandon versus Spencer. The winner from each fight will move in to the final round, this battle will be done in wolf form.” He speaks loudly over everyone as the opponents continue training.
“I wish you all luck in todays fight, and we will see you shortly to get started.” His voice bellows as the crowd erupts in to loud cheering.
We sit watching the 6 train while the time passes and the arena fills with more excited wolves coming to watch the battle. Clayton and Bradley meet in the ring a few minutes before its time to start, Evan stands again silencing the crowd by raising his hands.
“ARE WE READY!” He shouts once again making me giggle as the wolves shout and howl in joy.
Both men shift quickly before they begin stalking each other, snarling as saliva drips from their teeth. Bentley attacks first going for Clayton’s front right paw as he jumps back quickly dodging, Bentley hits the ground and Clayton launches in to the air coming down with both paws landing his body weight on top of Bentley, a loud shriek fills the air as Clayton takes his opportunity to finish the fight coming out victorious.
Blanch and Sloan meet in the ring next a they both drop down to shift, Sloan stays back as she paces watching Blanches movements anticipating them before they happen, for being a female she is very well trained and from what I’ve seen of her and I’m impressed. Her tail flicks back and forth as she waits for Blanch to make the first move.
After a few minute Blanch dives towards her and she tosses her body right up in the air clearing the attack completely, she sprints to the other side of the ring before Blanch has even stood back up. She glides through the air quickly taking him out at his paws and he lands with a thud. She spends the next few minutes playing with him, landing quick jabs and bites before finally taking him down. I look over smiling to Evan.
“I told you I liked her.” I say with a giggle.
The last fight. Brandon and Spencer enter the ring and shift like all the others the crowd cheers happily as the fight starts, it doesn’t take long before Spencer over takes his opponent and comes out winning the final match.
Evan stands while the 3 winners enter the ring once again.
“Clayton, Sloan and Spencer. You will each have a few moments to explain why you think you would be the best pick for the beta position, then we will leave it to the pack to vote. We will name the winner tonight.” He finishes as Clayton steps forward.
“My father was the top warrior for the clear water pack, I have trained since I was a child and believe I would be a strong addition to your pack. I’m really grateful for the opportunity, to be here, and to have met all of you.” He states stepping back as he watches Sloan.
She steps forward smiling brightly.
“I come from a close knit family in dark water, I’ve trained with my father since I was a child, I met my wolf earlier then most at 12. Due to meeting my wolf earlier I also created a stronger bond with her making me very in touch with my scenes as well as my surroundings. I would be a very smart choice to assist in leading your pack.” She says calmly as she steps back.
Last to speak is spencer.
“I am the second son of the beta for the dark rain pack, my older brother has taken over for my father. I have been training the warriors in my pack since I met my wolf, I believe I could bring a lot of strategical advice to the table when it come to protecting the pack.” He says in a cocky manner before stepping back as the crowd bursts out in cheers, howling loudly as the sound echos through the arena.
The rest of the afternoon we spend mingling with the other packs while everyone submits their ballots, the cooks come out with plates of finger foods as servers walk around passing them out. The last 3 contestants have all come up to speak with Evan and I before we announce the winner and the night has become very overwhelming.
“Who do you think will win?” Evan asks quietly as he leans down to me.
“I’m still thinking Sloan.” I say calmly as he chuckles.
“She’s got a lot of spunk I’ll give her that.” He says laughing as we head back up to count ballots, the last should be coming in as we speak. We’re about to have a beta.
