It was the day of our evaluation. We were given clothes to change out of, so we would be able to properly fight. I was a little surprised that they did not ask how we obtained our clothes. Soren was wearing black stilted boots that she walked fine in. They were like her second skin. She wore a yellow shirt with thin straps and ripped jean shorts.
I on the other hand wore short boots that had bulky heels, jean shorts, and a blue crop top. They most likely assumed we stole them. The crop top showed off some of the muscle build-ups I have gained over training with my siblings.
We were all extremely fit. It only makes sense considering we have been alive for thousands of years. We were given what looks like yoga pants and sports bras to do the evaluation. They offered to take our shoes, but we quickly protested. One thing we loved if not our family were our shoes.
We had walked out of the dungeon into a big crowd. Turns out everyone wanted to see what the new potential pack mates could do. There was something that resembled a boxing ring in the middle. It just did not have the ropes a boxing ring would. These people make it seem as if it is about to be a brawl.
This was going to be hard. Our wolves hate being dominated by a lower rank. It will be hard to keep them in check. Hopefully, the rest do not notice. Ranor went up onto the ring and everyone went quiet. "Today we will evaluate some of our newest members of the pack. Soren and Sakura. They will fight our beta, gamma, and delta to test their strength."
Gamma? Gammas are usually third in command, right after the beta if I recall correctly. Do not quote me on that. I am sure Deltas are on the same scale as a Gamma.
"These are the rules-" Ranor continued "-No weapons, no breaking of bones, can't use tricks such as grabbing dirt and throwing it into their eyes. This is an evaluation, not an actual fight. And no sexual harassment of any kind! That is all. You can begin." At least they have morals.
I looked at Soren and she pointed her head towards the ring. She wants me to go first. I stepped up onto the ring and faced my opponent. "They will be battling our Delta, Rion, first." Seriously what is up with this pack's names?
"Three, two, one, GO!" What was this a race? The moment Rion heard 'go' he came at me with agility, speed, and strength. A whole lot of strength. I just barely dodged it. He was not holding back. I side-stepped him and kicked him in the back. He was caught off guard. That first move probably would usually work. He came at me with punches and kicks.
There was no way I could purposely let him hit me. He would knock me out! I was not willing to be that humiliated or go through the pain. How was I going to lose this without visiting God's gates, I do not know. He tried to use his legs to trip me, but I quickly jumped up. He used this to punch me mid-air and onto the ground. Okay, now I am mad. I have been playing defense so far, but that is about to change.
I got back onto my feet, dodged his next punch by ducking, and punched him square in the jaw. I might have heard a tooth break. I saw him wince in pain, but then he smirked. Damn. He was trying to get me to play offense. He knew I was trying to let him win.
This must have been the flaw Soren saw. We went at it for five more minutes until he went to kick me to get me off my feet. I was about to dodge, but then remembered I was trying to lose. This fight could not go on any longer, so I did not dodge.
I let him trip me. My head smacked onto the floor of the ring, and it hurt like a bitch. I only barely managed to break my fall with my arms.
"That's all!" Ranor announced. Ouch. This hurt my body and my pride. Rion reached out a hand to me. I took it and he lifted me. "Most people don't last that long, but next time I don't want you to hold back." He whispered the last part in my ear. I simply nodded. I was getting out of the ring when I saw Seth in the crowd. He looked like he was about to blow a fuse.
He was gripping his fist so tight that his hands started to go pale. This was bad. I quickly hurried to him. The moment he saw me he snatched me into his arms. Fireworks went off in my body. The feeling was great, but he was gripping me like there was no tomorrow.
He placed his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled deeply. He slowly started to relax, but he was still rigid. "I hate seeing another man touch you. I hate it when harm comes your way, and I hate that I will have to inflict that upon you." He growled into my neck, and I felt my lady areas moist.
I loved this feeling, but it was so embarrassing.
I let out a little whimper on accident. I immediately blushed and covered my face. I was sure he could smell the arousal coming off me in waves I just hoped nobody else did. He started to chuckle though it sounded more like a growl. "If you do that again I'm going to lose my shit."
This did NOT help with the blush getting redder by the moment. I turned around in his arms and watched Soren as she went up onto the ring. I stood there and tried to ignore the hard bulge on my back.
Soren P.O.V
I went up onto the ring and faced Rion. Seeing him fight Sakura I wondered why he was just a Delta. He has the potential to be much more. Ranor finished the countdown and Rion charged at me with a punch I easily dodged. While Sakura prefers her fists, I favor my legs. After I dodged him, I kicked him in the back of his head.
Now I see why he is just a Delta. His reaction times are terrible. They are not training him right. I kept a bored face the entire time. I know I am supposed to act all overwhelmed and shit, but it is too early in the morning for that. I did not even get a cup of coffee.
We got some ratchet ass eggs that tasted like dirt. I have never liked eggs, but this sealed the deal. I sincerely hope this is not how they feed this pack. It is probably because we are still considered prisoners.
After getting a couple of licks on him I decided to end this. He was about to punch me in the face, but I leaned backward to fall on my back. Hopefully, it seemed like a failed attempt at a dodge. I do not think my expression would be that convincing, but whatever. There was no way I was going to let this guy hit me.
Falling on the platform hurt far more than I thought it would though. What the fuck is this made from? I feel as if I just hit 200 lbs. of cement. This shit could crack someone's skull open!
Rion reached out his hand, but I refused to take it. I want nothing to do with these people. I just may get attached to them which cannot happen. Although I do not know how, I am sure Sakura is going to end up staying here. I on the other hand will not. Maybe some visits, but this is perfect for Sakura. She has always been the social one out of all of us.
I am happy that she is finding happiness. I got up with my own hands and jumped off the platform. God was I craving some fruit and coffee.
