Chapter 8
Alora's POV
"So how do we start this then?" Darien asks with a look of anticipation on his face.
"We've got the training exams today. They will take place in the bigger training arena. The top fighters coming from each class will be going up against each other. They basically have this set up in a tournament, because this will determine your first placement among the fighters in the pack." I remind him.
"I don't plan on holding back, she's going to see just how skilled I am, and I hope I'll get the opportunity to beat her ass soon." I say, then Darien laughs darkly at my word while Serenity, Galen and Kian looked at us confused.
"Just wait and watch, this is going to be amazing." Darien tells them.
We all head to the arena. Today all of the impending graduates will be there. Today Sarah would learn, today they would all learn.
First up were the lesser skilled wolves, they would be put in the reserves. Then there would be moderately skilled wolves. They would be scouts. They were usually faster than they were strong. These wolves tended to be slim and sleek.
Then there was the enforcer class, usually big wolves. They had a lot of strength. You then get to the Elite class fighters, Beta's and those going to be the Alpha's elite soldiers went into this class, Matthew was in this class.
Darian had passed into the final class. The Alpha fighter class, very few wolves without alpha blood made it into this class. It just so happened to be the one I'm in and I was the top student. Darian the second.
The arena was styled after the Roman Coliseum, enormous, round and with a dirt floor at the bottom, and a covered roof. There was an extremely large LCD Screen that displayed all the classes and the fighters in those classes as well as rank. If my sister looked for it, she would see my name. But she was probably looking for Alora Northmountain, not Heartsong.
I spot the icy duo across the stadium. They were looking at the grouping of fighters. We had to sit according to our fighting class. Darien sat next to me and was looking over and down at his mate.
What surprised me, but shouldn't have, was that Galen, Kian and Serenity were in the Elite fighter class. They claimed the top three ranks. Matthew was fifth in ranking. Well, it looks like I have some strong friends, and Darien a strong mate.
I saw my mom and dad, Allister and Bettina did not seem happy to see their Princess Sarah in the reserve fighter class. I bet they had been expecting to see her in the elite class. Then they search for the ranks again to find me.
I see Bettina pull out her cell phone. She types furiously for a moment, then looks at Allister, I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket.
I look at the message, 'YOU BETTER BE HERE YOU WRETCH!!! DO NOT EMBARRASS US OR YOUR SISTER!!!'
So typical. I show Darien the text. He snorts "Typical." making me laugh because he reads my mind.
I type them back, 'I am here, I'm in my assigned seat.'
I look up, Allister is going through the fighters again, I see Bettina read the text and she snarls at her phone, causing Allister to look at her for a moment before he starts looking again.
'THEN WHY ARE YOU NOT SITTING WITH THE RESERVE FIGHTERS, I SWEAR IF YOU EMBARRASS YOUR SISTER OR RUIN OUR GOOD NAME TODAY YOU WILL REGRET IT WHEN YOU GET BACK TO THE HOUSE YOU DIRTY WRETCH!!!'
I snort at her comment of their so-called "good name." While she was texting me, Allister had pulled out the booklet every parent was given on the way in with the fighters listed by class. They both started looking for my name.
There were several Northmountain's in the Enforcer class and a few in the Elite class, and I see them looking at both classes trying to find me. When they don't I see their face's twist in anger, fury making them look almost demonic. She pulls out her phone and sends me another text.
'WHERE IS YOUR NAME!!! I DON'T SEE IT ON THIS LIST!!!' well looks like the jig is up, she put her phone down and they start looking at the list again.
'I went to Alpha and changed my name the day I turned eighteen. It's already registered on all my school paperwork, and blood sworn by Alpha.'
I look up after I send the text. Their expressions were comical as they looked at the text, then suddenly they're arguing with each other, so I sent another. 'Don't worry, I won't ruin your so called 'Good Name'.
I can tell it's taking everything for her to not start shrieking. She's typing furiously, then my phone vibrates again.
'WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE YOU WRETCH!!! WHAT DID YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME TO!!!' They're back to looking at the sheet. My new surname is Heartsong. I don't want to make it too easy to find me.
They start looking through the list looking for Heartsong, but they disregard the Alpha Class fighters. She texts me again, 'NICE TRY YOU LITTLE WRETCH, I DON'T SEE HEARTSONG ANYWHERE ON HERE!'
I look up at them a moment before texting them back. 'That’s because you have not looked hard enough lets see them put it together.'
Suddenly the lights go dim, and the names on the board change to just those of the reserve fighters, their rankings and who their opponents were going to be at the start of their tournament. My parents will just have to wait and see. The fights start and my sister and her friends don't even make it to the third bracket of challengers. I decided to send a text. 'See, I'm not the one ruining your Good Name.'
'WHEN YOU MAKE IT BACK, I'LL TEACH YOU NOT TO TALK BACK TO ME YOU WRETCH, I'LL MAKE YOU BLEED AND BEG FOR MY MERCY!!!'
Actually, I don't care about my mom's threats anymore. I'm well aware of my power, and it will blow everyone away. Now it's time for me to reintroduce myself to everyone.
