Chapter 266
Davyna's POV
It's been two days since I shifted for the first time, and finally Freya was released to the world. It's been a bit of an adjustment hearing her in my mind, but it's comforting to have her input on a lot of things now.
I'm currently relaxing out near the lake by the house, thoughts
Swarming my mind as I remember Asher's not so pleasant drop-in. I
haven't told Caleb or Vincent yet, not necessarily out of fear, but mostly in part because l don't want Asher to ruin what time l have left here.
Caleb and I have connected so much deeper now that we've n
marked each other, accepting our bonds. I want to keep it as peaceful as possible, also considering Caleb is still slightly on edge about that Renee woman. She's kept her distance since her little stunt she pulled at the pack house, but I've seen her watching Caleb and I from afar multiple times over the past couple days.
I've convinced Caleb that he should just ignore her, that her threats should mean nothing as l easily could take her if she decided to challenge me. Honestly, I wish she would so l could smash her face into the dirt for being such a bitch.
"Just do it, we don't like her anyways." Freya says and I chuckle to myself.
"Who knows, Freya. I might get my wish." I reply to her quietly as
I make small splashes in the water, droplets hitting my grey jean capris.
"There she is." I smile as I look back and see Caleb, in casual shorts and shirtless which I mean, c'mon l don't mind - approach me. He went for a run earlier, and I chose to stay behind and get to know Freya a bit more
"Here l am." I state happily as he sits down beside me and issues my temple.
"You okay?" He asks and I nod my head.
"Yes, just taking some time to soak up some sun and talk to Freya." He nods.
"I'm glad you're taking time for her."
"She told me that she has been there my entire life. She just couldn't get through to me. I feel owe her so much time!" He pulls me into him gently.
"You've got tons of time now, baby. She's with you now."
"I don't plan on leaving either. You're stuck with me!" Freya adds in.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." I reply in my head, and I feel her happiness throughout my mind and body Caleb pulls my face up to meet his, and pecks my lips lightly.
"There is a pack gathering today at the packhouse. A new little wolf pup was born last night, and the new parents would love for us to meet her."
"A baby? I'd love to meet her!" I exclaim as Caleb smiles widely at me.
"Okay, great. I'll go ready." He stands
"Okay, Alpha." I state and he growls, and suddenly I'm picked up bridal style. I laugh as he buries his face in my neck, kissing his mark.
"Actually. on second thought... you're coming with me." He starts to walk with me in his arms, peppering me with kisses as we head back into the house.
I giggle as Caleb twirls me as we walk up to the packhouse. Many pack members are scattered around outside chatting and smile at us as we pass them, heading inside. I'm immediately greeted by Amelia, who comes over and hurts me
"I see that mark now, did you shift?" She asks quietly. I nod and she smiles sweetly at me and turns to Caleb.
"How'd she do?"
"Pretty damn amazing." He says with a massive amount of pride.
"Where is the new baby?" l ask, hardly able to contain my excitement. Amelia takes my hand and leads me into the banquet room, where it seems the rest of the pack has gathered, Caleb right behind me.
"Jace, Miranda, Alpha Caleb and Luna Davyna are here!" Amelia yells over the voices and conversations of the rest of the pack members inside. A male and female walk through a group of people and my heart melts as I see the small little bundle in her arms. They approach us, their happiness just rolling off of them. The male, Jace shakes hands with Caleb.
"Congratulations. She's beautiful."
"Thank you, Alpha. We're smitten." He replies as I close the distance between myself and Miranda, ignoring the men's interaction. Give me the baby!
"Miranda, she's gorgeous. Congratulations." I say to her and she smiles.
"Thank you, Luna. I'm already in love with her so much."
"I can see why. It's been a long time since I've seen a newborn baby. She's so cute." I pause as I reach and grasp her tiny little hand.
"What's her name?"
"Elizabeth. Do you want to hold her?" Miranda asks me. Oh do lever!!
"I'd love to, Miranda." She then hands Elizabeth over to me, and I cradle her into my arms and immediately start to rock her gently. Elizabeth lightly as I rock her. I know she won't understand me, but I talk to her anyways.
"You are beautiful baby girl. Mommy and Daddy are going to have their hands full with you, right?" I smile as I hear Freya. "Beautiful pup. Just look at her."
"How are you feeling, Miranda? Did the birth go well?" l ask, and she seems surprised of my concern for her well-being.
"I feel great, Luna. The birth went well, no complications."
"If you ever need a hand, I'd gladly come watch her for you. While I'm still here of course."
"You don't have to do that, Luna. I'm sure you're busy" I shake my head.
"You're a natural" Caleb says as he runs his finger along the little girl's face as she sleeps I laugh lightly, and when I catch Caleb's gaze on me, he's looking at me with what seems like a whole new sense of admiration. Don't get any ideas yet wolf boy. I give Elizabeth a small kiss on her forehead, and as I'm about to speak, the entire feeling of the room changes with the sound of a familiar, but unfriendly voice.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I have business with the new Luna." Renee. Of course.
I quickly hand Elizabeth back to her mother and Caleb goes to stand in front of me, but I touch his arm lightly.
"It's ok" I keep my hands to my sides as I address her in an unimpressed tone.
"You are interrupting Renee, and I think everyone here knows you aren't the least bit sorry. Your business does not take priority here." I keep myself calm, and it seems to irritate her. She smirks at me and makes her way through the crowd, everyone's eyes trained on our interaction. Once she's a mere few feet from me, she speaks again.
"Don't get used to this, it won't stay long." I shake my head.
"You're delusional, Renee. If you think you're going to challenge me and come out on top, you're going to get a rude"
"We will see, then. I challenge you for your title as Luna. Now" .
I sigh as there is a mix of growls, gasps and small gossip from everyone in the room. Caleb places his hand on my shoulder in solidarity and I nod.
"Fine, your funeral I accept."
Caleb's POV
I growl as I hear Davyna accept Renee's challenge. I knew she would do something like this, which makes me glad that I know Davyna can handle herself. From what she has already managed to do combat wise and the training between her, myself and Vincent, I'm not too worried of the outcome. I follow my mate as we head back outside to the front of the packhouse.
Pack tradition for challenges is a fight until submission. Not too many challenges have happened here at Midnight Moon, as we are a relatively peaceful pack internally. Most issues are resolved through words, not brutality. Honestly, I can't wait to see Davyna wipe the floor with Renee. Pack members clear a wide area in front of the packhouse, and enclose a border around it with their bodies. Witnesses of the outcome, in case Renee tries anything suspicious. I follow Davyna as she makes her way to the farthest right side, and I pull her into me.
"She might fight dirty Keep on your toes."
"l will, Caleb. I love you." I kiss her and back away, scowling at Renee as she takes her spot on the left side. Maybe finally she will fuck right off and leave after this embarrassment.
I pull my authoritative power in my voice as I roar.
"Challenge begins. now!"
Davyna's POV
As soon as Caleb roars, Renee sprints towards me. I watch her intently. and as she closes in to strike, I sidestep and circle around her. She shrieks and doubles back. I dodge most of her advances, just making her more angry and unsteady.
I sigh and finally allow her to approach me, blocking each punch and swipe with ease.
"Don't mock me, Davyna. Fight me." She says, clearly letting her anger fuel her.
"I am, Renee. You're just pathetic." I land a punch on her side and she scrambles to recover from the hit. She swipes in anger, and I dodge it, yet again.
She gets a couple hits in on me as we continue hand-to-hand, but it
hardly affects me, but my hits on her are clearly taking their toll. She wipes her mouth, spitting blood out as she backs up from me for a small moment. I see her eyes change, and I realize she's going to shift.
I smirk and as Renee sprints towards me again, I leap towards her, my feet landing on her chest as I push myself back into a flip. I let Freya take control, and I feel my bones shift and crack and black fur sprout from my skin. I'm fully shifted before I hit the ground on all four paws, dust kicking up as Freya stops our moment Freya hugs at the stunned Renee, who just looks at me wide eyed. It's short lived, as she shifts herself and her musty brown wolf replaces her human figure. Renee's wolf howls loudly as she runs at Freya, and Freya leaps to the challenge, her jaws clamping down on Renee's shoulder, tugging with all her might. Renee tries to dig her paws into the dirt to keep her balance, but she loses the battle. Freya growls fiercely - all while still keeping her hold- and throws Renee to the side, her rolling a few times before she stops.
Renee stands, her breathing uneven as she lets out a low growl. Freya snaps her jaws toward her. Renee snarls and runs at us again. When will she learn? We're faster than her. Renee leaps into the air, and Freya she's about to hit us, placing her hind feet under Renee's belly and kicking her over us with all of our strength. Renee lands face first in the dirt hard, and l chuckle. I did say I wanted to smash her face in the dirt.
"It's where she belongs." Freya says proudly.
Freya then howls loudly, as I see Renee return to her human form,
clearly exerted and Freya allows me to take control back. Once l'm back on two feet, I walk over to Renee who is struggling to even stand. I grab her hair and drag her as she screams and tries to loosen my grip.
Both of us are stark naked, but I don't care. This bitch needs to be taught a lesson. I drop her as we get to the centre of the cleared area. Renee coughs and hacks, still unable to get to her feet. I squat down in front of her and pull her face up to look at me.
"Face it. You lost"
"You're a bitch." She spits at me, and I pull my fist back and let it fly, cracking her upside the face. She lands back into the dirt, clearly dazed from my hard punch.
"So what is it, Renee? Want to keep going?" I say as I stand again. She lifts her head, and chokes out,
"No. I submit Luna." Then she collapses, unconscious.
"That's what I thought, bitch." I push her over onto her back with my foot and spit on her like she did to me. I then feel a robe being placed over my shoulders, and I turn and see Caleb. He pulls me in for a kiss.
"You kicked her ass."
"Told you I would." He laughs and I tie the robe securely around me as Caleb takes my hand and we walk back into the packhouse.
