Chapter 19 - Second chances are often wasted

My jaw hurt as hell As I place an ice pack one of the medics on standby gave me.

Why do I heal slowly?

I guess, in the past I would still be knocked out.

I watch the activities. Zee had won her first round, so had Martha. Unfortunately June lost her first round. The current opponents on stage were evenly matched, in the sense that they didn't know how to fight in their human form. One of them was pulling the other's hair, while that one tried punching her from beneath. Don't assume based on appearances. Each one of those seemingly weak punches will fell a human.

The audience is laughing and cheering, some suggesting moves, a few young wolves whistle from the stands leading to more whistles from the males.

The contestants on stage were much too engrossed in their fight to care. The one who was having her pulled went for the legs of the other and together they went down in a tumble. Both of them straining against each other, finally the girl whose hair was getting pulled releases herself from the other girl's grasp and gets on top. Punching her continuously before the other one pushes her off. The bell sounds and the decision goes to the judges. The girl whose hair was being pulled lost.

Laughter goes round the tournament grounds.

Good.

The first round is almost up and like it, I will start the second round. I look the place reserved for him, he is sitting there today, he eyes turn and catch mine as if he knew I was looking at him and I snatch my eyes back.

The first round is officially over and the second round will commence immediately. Starting us of will be The Alpha's meal. The crowd laughs good naturedly at the inflection of his voice on meal. I smile and wave and they cheer me on.

We love delicious food too. A couple of teenagers yell from the back. I smile and give them two thumbs up. Nice kids they just called me delicious.. Of course I am a snack.i feel a genuine grin break out on my face.

And her opponent is Aria from the Southern Pack.

The southern pack. Those girls are tall and unlike some can fight well in their human form. As she walks onto the platform, I weigh her, This girl should be at least 6 foot 2

Get ready and FIGHT! the bell goes off and the girl rushes me.

Anastasia power to my arm. I feel my arm surge with energy and I pinch her. She moves back a few paces, stunned.

The whole grounds too but that lasted a short while before they erupt in cheers.

I will Destroy you!

Yeah Bitch! Come at me I am waiting.

She rushes me again. Anastasia power to arm, This time around she catches my punch and head butts me. I feel dizzy and disoriented.

Speed to feet and dodge. I pick up my pace as I dodge her attacks trying to clear my disorientation.

She is a strong one.

π‘Œπ‘’π‘  𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝒉𝑒 𝑖𝑠.

After dodging her left punch I return with a right uppercut. She paused a little before throwing a punch back. I couldn't dodge on time and it landed square on my chest, I fall quite some distance away, spitting out blood.

You insult my sisters, you ridicule my pack and I will make you pay. She walks slowly to me and I edge back slowly with my arms. in an instant she is next to me.

Anastasia roll left. I roll over with speed and I am on my feet quickly, the movement Β too jarring and I cough off more blood staining the white of my uniform. I look to see hand had made an indentation in the platform. She maintains eye contact as she gets off her knee.

Direct confrontation is not working, she has the advantage. Aria takes her time as she paces back and forth.Β 

if I lose this round I am disqualified automatically.

Anastasia pay close attention to me.

𝐼 π‘Žπ‘š, π‘Žπ‘™π‘€π‘Žπ‘¦π‘ .

She rushes me again this time punching my stomach, I keel over then she punches my jaw and I fall to the side.

π΄π‘šπ‘’π‘™π‘–π‘Ž! π‘†π‘‘π‘Žπ‘¦ π‘Žπ‘€π‘Žπ‘˜π‘’.

I edge backwards, She is on me, punching my chest, stomach. Pulling back her left hand, she is about to deal me her finishing blow.

Anastasia roll to the side.

I roll to the side quickly, lying on my back near Β the edge, I have no energy to stand.

Why won't you just stay at a place. She is on me in an instant, her hand raised her to strike.

Anastasia power to both feet and arm. Now!

Still on my back, I grab her by the lapels of her top pulling her close to my face.

Hasta la vista bitch.

I kick Β both feet into her tummy, releasing my hands from her lapels as I topple her off the platform.

The crowd went wild and the cheers were instant and deafening.

Wow. What a match.

I see her, punching the dust in anger as she tries to rush back on the platform. She is stopped by one of the wolves keeping order.

And the winner is The Alpha's meal! Cheers keep going round. What a superb match. I for one never expected the Alpha's meal to survive this round. Incredible.

I Smile weakly as I wave the crowd fro. my position lying down.

It looks like she will need some help getting off the platform. Medic!

The Medics come over and assist me getting off the stage.

Yes we did, we survived till the next round.
