Audrey's pov:-
I couldn't bear this insult anymore and I really wanted to see how much more time and training do I need to teach her( Roxanna) a lesson so I am gonna test my limits right here right now and I am gonna surpass them .
I said it again because everyone went into shock ," I accept your challenge Roxanna "
" Okay sweetie if that's what you want , don't go running to your mom if you end up getting hurt because I don't hold back " Roxanna sneered .
" From the bottom of my heart I don't give a fuck Roxanna , you can go berserk if you want and I won't complain " I smirked although a little bit worried inside.
"You are smiling that's good, see you at the arena then ,don't run off because I will catch you for sure " Roxanna left after saying that .
" I like to smile at people who don't like me and that includes you for sure " I spat
As soon as she left Mia gave me " the look" meaning she wasn't much happy with my decision
" Audrey are sure? " She said worriedly
" Do you trust me Mia ? " I asked
She nodded .
" Then please let me do this I won't end up getting hurt I promise you". I said
" Okay let's get over this then " she smirked
In less then 10 min everyone was gathered at the arena James was the referee , beta David was the judge .
I was sitting in the gym when Mia minlinked me that everything is ready . I walked out but before I could take another step someone grabbed me from my elbow . I turned around I instantly and it was beta David
" Don't do this Audrey . You don't have to fight her to prove yourself . You are good enough . If you are doing this because of me because of the things I said to you that day then don't " he said looking me in the eye.
The audacity of this man to think I was doing this because of him . He didn't even cross my mind huh. I wanted to teach that Roxanna bitch a lesson . But now when he puts it like this maybe he will learn to not underestimate me.
" Audrey " he waved his fingers in front of me
" I am not doing this because of you I am doing this for me . So please rest assured ." I said
" Audrey I don't want you getting hurt . There is still time . You can say no even now . It will not taint your pride . I don't want you to make a fool out of yourself just because Roxanna is provoking you " he said.
I looked at him and there was slight hint of worry on his face . Am I imagining things ?. He would have been the last person to worry about me .I was sure he wanted to see me losing then why is he stopping me?.
"I maybe many things but I am not a fool . My mother didn't raise a fool. I know what I am doing and I know what I am capable of . I won't lose easily you guys will surely get a good show , so will you please have the courtesy to take your hands off me because I getting late" I said looking at him straight in the eye.
My Mom didn't raise a fool a psychotic cold_hearted bitch maybe , But not a fool .
He took his hands off me instantly .
"Your taking it the wrong way Audrey , I didn't mean it like that but I don't blame you . So I will give you some info I hope it helps . " He said
" Go on " I said.
" Roxanna is all about offence . Her defence is weak , you could say it doesn't exist . She always aims first for her opponent's nose/face in each fight . And aim low at her legs/feet or her neck , she leaves them open " he said casually.
I didn't trust a word he said but I could see it from my own eyes now then maybe I could take his advice.
" Thanks " I murmured and walked off.
As soon as I stepped in the arena howls emerged from everywhere , James and Roxanna were already inside the ring . I walked as confidently as I could just when I was about to step in the ring Mia mindlinked me , " kick her ass" and a smirk spread across my face .
I won't disappoint you I murmured to myself . Let's do this Artemis ( Audrey's wolf's name).
"The rules are simple , the first one to knock the opponent down wins . If you throw your opponent out of the ring then you win too . The third way to win is your opponent admits defeat
Let's start" James voice boomed.
We both took our fighting stance. She attacked first and aimed for my nose . A smirk spread across my face so that good - for- nothing beta wasn't joking around . I ducked and dodged her attack.
The fight lingered on . Roxanna was throwing punches after punches . She was vicious and I was on all defence but she couldn't stop me . After a while I started to get a hold of her movements and attacks . I was just waiting for an opening and finally I got my chance . I suddenly rushed towards her and took her by surprise. I did the neck breaker and after that threw her out of the ring .
My vision was getting blurry . The last thing I heard were howls and James saying something to me . I felt something warm dripping from the from my temple . I touched and my hand turned red with blood . My whole body was aching but still I couldn't help smiling . I laid down on the ring floor . I didn't have enough energy right now .
I saw James running towards me .
" Are you fine ? " James said worriedly .
" I am fine don't worry just let me lie down here for a while" I said slowly.
I saw people picking up Roxanna in the distance. She was awake and not in a good mood .she came rushing towards me and I saw her eyes flickering . Oh boy! her wolf is in control and I tried to get up as soon as I could but I was late .
" You brat " , she yelled at the top her lungs and tried to throw a punch in my face.
Ouch ! this is gonna hurt and I put both my arms in front of my face to lower the impact and closed my eyes. I waited for a while but when nothing happened , I opened my one eye to look and trust me I couldn't believe the scene infront of my eyes.
Beta David's back was facing me . He was holding Roxanna's fist in his hand and then he pushed her away slightly
" Have some respect Roxanna , you lost the match and there is no shame in it but don't lose your dignity too " , he scoffed.
Roxanna's eyes turned back to their normal brown colour and after realizing what she was doing her head lowered down in shame . I saw some people taking her away and she didn't resist.
"Come on let's get you checked up " beta David said grabbing my hand.
I took my hand out of his and blurted out , " I am fine , thanks for your concern" and looked around to find Mia . Finally I found her and her jaw was on the floor so i mindlinked her.
" Get your ass up here fast , I am in a bit of situation here and please close your mouth " . She instantly closed her mouth and ran upto me .
" B-eta David thanks for your help I will take it from here " Mia said.
I wrapped my arm around Mia's shoulder for support and James came to help too and supported me from other side . On our way we passed Lucas and he whistled , " Damn you were so good Audrey ". All three of us froze right in our tracks but then I mustered a response , " thanks Lucas" .
When we walked away a bit , James was still dumbfounded and Mia and I started laughing .
" What , when did this happen. First beta and now Lucas .I thought you guys hated each other ", James asked confused.
" Well bro , I never hated Lucas in the first place , I don't know what problem he has with Mia but he seems to be getting over it . As for beta I never wanted to hate him but he begged to differ and constantly got on my nerves but I guess the morning ordeal we through brought us guys a littttttle closer " I said bringing my index finger and thin together .
"Do you want to go to a doctor ?" , Mia asked
" No, I am healing fine , just wanna eat something and get some rest " I said.
After dropping me off to my room James left and Mia wiggled her eyebrows .
" What. What's with the look Mia?" I asked lying on the bed.
" What was that ? What happened to beta?. Did he develop a soft corner for you or something? " She laughed.
" Nah, Roxanna was acting crazy and he did what was right , it was the bare minimum " I sighed
" Maybe he is trying to say he is sorry " Mia said seriously.
" Unless I hear those words directly out of his mouth , which I know I am not gonna hear , I am not listening to anything else and honestly I don't give a fuck . Now order something I am starving " I laughed.
" Don't worry I got you " Mia said taking out her phone.
