Filed to story: Werewolfs Heartsong by Dizzy Izzy
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 decide 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!!!
I decided to ignore my mothers last message, and focused on this exam. The moderate class was up next, it was almost as big as the reserve class, but the fights went quickly, these wolves were built for scouting more than fighting, but were good enough to be kept out of the reserves.
Then came the Elite class. When it came to the final bracket, Serenity had already placed third having kicked Matthews ass, that was a sweet match to watch. Galen and Kian were so evenly match that they finally called a tie after thirty minutes of them fighting.

As they were cleaning up the arena floor for our class Darien leans over. “You know, it’s actually good that you didn’t take Matt as your mate.”
I’m confused so naturally I ask, “Why?”
He looks over at Matt in the medical tent, Serenity had caved in his face during their fight “Because he’s weak as fuck”
I laugh, it’s the first time since being rejected that I felt that I was indeed fortunate. “I hope your mate doesn’t hate me for what
I’m about to glaring with angry disbelief in my direction. GARRETT SHADOWTAIL, MASON NORTHMOUNTAIN, JAMISON BLACKFIRE,
JAXON MOUNTAINMOVER, LEXUS STONEMAKER, DARIEN MOONSTAR, AND ALORA HEARTSONG
With each of our names read, a full body picture was shown of us in our human form, and next to it, was one of our wolves.
Darien’s showed him posed leaning onto a wall with his left elbow, hand and fingers combing the longer top part of his hair back, showing the shaved sides, his face tilted up, his almond shaped, amber colored, cinnamon rimmed eyes, sparkling with mischief.
A devilish grin showing white teeth, his other hand on his hip. His wolf was large, a black wolf with gray frosting the tips of his fur, he was posed sitting and had a large toothy grin on his muzzle.
My picture showed me in my favorite fighters pose, my arms up, head down, my violet eyes glittering, a smirk on my mouth. I was wearing a purple sports bra and short black sport shorts, showing off my tan skin and fit muscular body, with all my dips and curyes, I had to admit I looked really good in that picture.
My wolf was in an attack pose, a snarl showing all her long sharp teeth, her white fur glowing, black edging the tips of her ears, the black crescent moon and star marking on her hip, the tip of her tail dipped in black. My wolf looked beautiful and fierce. This was the picture Darien had tricked me into taking, saying “What could it hurt?”
For the first time I felt pride in being on display, making me glad Darien had me take it. I looked strong, and despite what my parents and sister say, I know I’m beautiful, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous. I could feel Xena preening on the inside, felt her own pride at how her image showcased her as fierce on screen.
Next to me Darien said. “Maaaaan does she look pissed, bet your parents are too, yep…yep they are too.” I looked to where
Sarah is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they’re glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire, that billboard would be toast.
The screen switched to display all of us from first rank, from me, to the lowest rank. I hoped my parents were watching their status among the Northmountain’s diminish and lower with each moment they realize they could have used me to be number one. But now that I changed my name it was Sarah’s lack of success that is going to bring them down.
“Pissed is going to be an understatement. These fights also determine the future placement in the Northmountain’s clan’s structure. Because I changed my name, Mason’s family will now be top ranked among the Northmountain’s, my parents have just been knocked down to the bottom.” he looks at me with shocked eyes. “Oh shit.” he says, the smile he gets as he figures it out is wide. “Now you are getting why I changed my name before the exams.” I say.
The first match is Garrett and Mason, Mason came out on top, the next match is Jamison and Jaxon, Jaxon coming out on top.
Then it was Lexus and Darien, Darien came out on top. Because I was a top student I wasn’t in the first rounds.
Mason and Jaxon fought next. Jaxon came out on top of that fight, meaning he was my first opponent. Then me and Darien would fight. I stand up, stretch, pop my neck, and start making my way down to the floor, to the Arena I would be battling in.
I get my head into the battle. Start to think of facts. Making a plan. Jaxon like Darian and the Twins was six foot five, he also had large solid muscles. He wasn’t just strong he was fast too.
But then, I was too. I was the fastest.
I could use my speed to add three to five times the power behind my hits depending on what move I used. I like to hit nerve points that deadened the reflexes, crippling an opponent for a moment, enough to land more blows for a win and not a kill.
I had different skills that I’d use for a kill. Jaxon’s picture was up next to mine, his human form stood legs spread arms crossed, he was tan with fiery red hair. His wolf, a big red muscular brute, sat with a calm and steady look.
The wolf was only two or three inches bigger than my Xena, she was the biggest she-wolf in the pack. The size of an Alpha, one more thing that marks me as a Heartsong. My blood starts to heat, I feel the adrenaline start to fill my veins. I wasn’t going to be holding back today. Xena’s excitement at the impending battle was big. She was just as charged. We were finally going to be able to showcase our skills.
I’ve been training with the Alpha’s Elite soldiers for years now. Then they brought in the senior class to the dojo arena I had been doing my training in for the last three years already. I had been carful to not showcase the extent of my training, but I was too competitive in a fight to not come out on top. I was basically used to help train my fellow seniors.
