"The three blood waves under the code name the 'red sea'."
"Yes?" Alpha said ready to hear our plan.
"Well, it a complete warfare kind of strategy, so we just wipe out the army," I said not knowing exactly what words to use as if I was not just from setting the entire presentation in my mind a few seconds ago and run through it perfectly.
"Focus dude, you are losing them, we have already been through this, just breath and speak!" Leone yelled in the mind link making me feel the pressure even more.
"Am tying, it is just hard!" I yell back through the link as I try to recompose myself before I carry on with the strategy. As I was about to destroy the presentation I felt a familiar hand cover mine. Alpha Ezra was not about to accept the fact that his son was disobeying the rules of the trial so openly, he was an Alpha of order in his own way but Reagan seemed to be ready to stand up to him in any way he could.
"Reagan? You know the rules," was all his father had to say to him with a stern face clearly showing his disapproval of his son's choice of action.
"Father, everyone here knows that she is my mate, so what's the harm?"
I stared at Reagan the same way you would stare at someone who just saved your life from hell. And now with the new comfort I got from Reagan, I could deliver my killer strategy with ease. No puns intended.
"Well you see, we wanted a strategy that would completely wipe out the enemy and never give them a chance to rise again," maybe it was the look in my eyes or the intense atmosphere but they were all hooked into the plan we had made and I didn't plan on keeping them waiting, "we split the army into three smaller ones, the first wave will hit them hard with strong. head-on attacks, they will number them down as fast as possible then we will have the second wave hit without leaving them much time to recover the first wave of attack," just as my speech was going well 'someone' had to butt in.
"The second wave will be a group of persistent fighters who will keep on fighting no matter how hard they fall, so this group will mainly have warriors trained highly in endurance and persistence and lastly," Leone just couldn't let me have my moment of fame and had to step in.
"The final wave will hit and we will completely wipe the remaining enemy forces out alone with their will to fight as all their warriors are taken out on the battlefield leaving them no hope to recover." by the time I was done I probably had a stupid smirk on my face that I just couldn't avoid. Force of habit.
I finally dared to look up to the other members present in the room only to face pleased faces as I force a small smile to try to ease the tension in the room. At least we are done with that.
The last and final test of the day was the combat trial. Finally I could put all this behind me and focus on other more important things, namely Reagan.
The pack was present, the elders and the three leaders of the pack were all here. Yep, it's the combat trails of the trio and we were standing in front of the smartest, strongest, and fastest fighters of the Silphium pack just waiting for the Alpha's 'go' signal.
The rules were as simple as simple gets, no serious hits, and follow the code and that's it. Once the Alpha gave his go signal the arena went silent, you could probably hear a fly's heartbeat. Not a single one of us move. Rule one of a fighters handbook never attacks first unless you know your opponent's weakness.
But at one point they must have lost their cool and one came charging at us at full speed. Rule two, never lose your cool. The first one to charge at us aiming for Rain as she was the smallest one of us but completely forgot of the gigantic mate she had on her side who blocked the attack.
'Not much power was added to that strike, it must have been a test hit,' even before I had time to process the message from Leone, I received a skull-crushing hit right below my earlobe that sent me to the ground immediately. I could only imagine what Reagan must be feeling after watching that deadly hit. I tried standing up but the hit affected my balance and I was sent right back to the ground.
All I could hear were mumbles asking me If I was fine and all I could do was nod and reply with a series of 'fine'. A series of questions raced through my mind as I recalled the given instructions for the trails. If the trails were stopped because of me then Leone and Rain can never take the trails again and in the long run, they would be forced to separate if we fail, I know my brother would end up fighting for his mate but this was Vulton pack we were talking about, the second strongest pack in the world. He would be painting himself as an enemy and with the Vulton pack's relationship with the Argentine pack, we would be dead meat.
As I tried to think of something, I felt myself hit the ground once again, I heard a loud growl as the referee begin the count down for the disqualification penalty but even this was not enough to make my body stand up.
The last thought that made me do the impossible was the thought of being the cause of Leon and Rain's breakup.
Suddenly, all noises shut down and all I could hear was the sound of my wolf, Sarai's howl, and sharp pain at the back of my neck before all went black and I could see nothing. Sarai had taken over my body and this was the very first time she had done that.
After what felt like ages Sarai's control finally began to crack and I could force myself back into my consciousness and control my body. Once in power, the very first thing I felt was the aching pain at the back of my neck causing me to reach for it. I regained my sight and witnessed all Sarai had done which left me shocked because she had followed the rules and did not hurt anyone. Which was not in line with all I had learned and read about a wolf taking over.
The match had already been declared won and the crowd was going crazy which made me feel terrible about not being able to remember anything.
Suddenly, my body gave out and began to shut down from exhaustion thanks to Sarai forcefully taking over my body and the fact that I had to fight for control with all I had. This time it felt like I was passing out. I screw my eyes shut in anticipation of hitting the ground like a sack of apples but alas, the pain never came. I felt the tingles around my waist as I channel the little energy that was left in me.
A smile found its way to my lips as I opened my eyes for a second to have a good look at my saviour right before I passed out and my last thought was how difficult it must have been for him and how glad I was that he was worried about me.
...TIME SKIP...
my body yelled at me to get some more sleep in, but at the same time, my body was telling me to get up as I had been in the same position for what felt like years. Groans left my lips as I tried to move my body from its position and instantly, someone was by my side helping me up.
"Hey, don't push yourself too hard, your body still isn't at its full capacity," Reagan said in a worried voice. One look at him and I could tell he hasn't slept, showered, or had a proper meal, and it was probably for the period I was unconscious.
"How long was I out?" I asked as I pull out the cords of the IV machine connected to my wrist.
"About two days, your brother and uncle (Marros) came by and they were talking of a binding mark, do you know anything about it?" this caught me off-guard. Firstly, how could they be so careless about such a sensitive matter and just talk about it anywhere? Secondly, It was still too early to talk about getting my binding mark off. Thirdly. I was not ready at all to be having this conversation with Reagan as that would mean I will have to tell him about my past and I was not ready to relive the horrible events of that fateful day.
....
That's it for today, I hope you enjoined yourself.
