Serenity was now looking forward to her battle with Garret Shadowtail, she wondered how long he would last against fists. She had chosen two songs in the electronic music genre for this battle, ‘Arena’ by Snavs and
Fabian Mazur and “Power” by Turkum. Serenity liked her choices, she also liked that she did not have to wait long for her battle.
The sooner she could sit in the same fight class as her mate, the better. When the announcer called her name and that of her opponent’s, Serenity jumped up from her seat to rush down to the arena floor for their battle. She ignored her brothers as they hissed demands for her to behave herself. When they started to get on her nerves like this, she would play a prank on them to get them off her back for a while.
The best part was that her mate’s gaze was on her as she took her place on the fighter’s platform. Serenity wanted Darien to watch her win this match, she wanted him and everyone else to know that she was strong enough to stand by his side. Serenity looked up at her opponent when he took his place across from her.
Shedding all distraction and focusing fully on this challenge, Serenity and Rose merged their consciousness. It was doubtful they would get through this fight without transforming into their Lycan form. Raising her fists up, Serenity got into a boxing pose and waited. Garrett smirked at her, his expression one of surprise and disbelief that he was going to have to fight her.
The bell rang and the ref called out “FIGHT!”
The moment it happened Serenity moved, she was fast and landed her first blow to
Garrett’s jaw. It would have broken under her fist if Garrett had not turned with the punch. The move lessened the impact of her fist, and Garrett was made aware that Serenity meant business. The fight was on from there. Serenity did not want a tie, due to the clock running. out while they fought, she wanted it truly clear who the victor was.
As soon as her first chosen song was over, her and Rose shifted into their Lycan form. Now that she and Rose had shifted,
Garrett having shifted with them, their battle reached a whole new level. Garrett lost ground quickly, their blows to him far stronger than the ones he just barely managed to land on them. Their battle ended quickly after that, when one of her punches sent Garrett, in Lycan form, flying off the fighter’s platform and into the wall of the arena.
With her battle ended, the crowd roared in approval, but there was only one roar of approval that mattered above all the others.
That roar came from her mate, Darien, and she felt it seal her and Rose’s fate to his. Hearts, bodies, and souls, they are now his for all
Next up!…”*
Darien whooped, hollered, and roared his excitement over his mate’s defeat of one of his fellow Alpha Class fighters. Alora, caught up in his excitement as well as her own, was standing and clapping with him. What Alora had not expected was for
Darien to suddenly grab her by her shoulders and shake her as he proudly claimed, “That’s my mate!”, over and over again.
It took several moments for Darien to calm down enough for him to let go of Alora, who was not enjoying him handling her in such a way. Alora had been seconds away from grabbing his hands and forcibly removing them from her. While she was usually comfortable with Darien touching her, grabbing, and shaking her like that was another thing.
Given the situation however, and the fact that he let her go before she had to say or do anything. Alora decided to let it go.
Darien deserved his excitement, his mate did win her match, and he was all too happy to roar his claim of her for everyone to hear. Alora smiled, feeling happy for her claimed brother.
Alora also felt Selena and Xena’s combined happiness for Darien as well. Darien didn’t start to quiet down till the announcer called the next match.
“Next up we have Kain Mountainmover against Jamison Blackfire!”
Darien sat down finally, he was surprised that Kain had challenged Jamison at first. After a moment of thought, Darien smacked himself in the forehead. Of course, Kain would challenge an Alpha Class fighter, Galen had most likely issued a challenge as well. Where Serenity went, her brothers were sure to follow behind her.
Alora had assumed from the moment of Serenity’s fight her brothers would follow shortly after her. The bond between the twins and Serenity was clear and solid. All three were powerful fighters, but her instincts told her that Serenity held more power than both her brothers did. Even so, Alora felt both Kain and Galen were still incredibly strong in their own right.
The fight between Jamison and Kain lasted three and a half minutes. Ending when Kain delivered a loud and powerful punch to Jamison’s ribs. The sound of at least two ribs. breaking could be heard by all those in the stadium. Jamison flew back off the fighter’s. platform, landing on his back, sliding a short distance across the arena’s dirt floor.
“Winner of this match is Kain Mountainmover!” Yelled the announcer.
The medics rushed to the field to check Jamison. Broken ribs, even for the incredibly fast healing, were no joke. One wrong move and you had a collapsed lung and were coughing up blood. Worse still, was if your heart was punctured by a broken rib.
The medics would assess how badly broken Jamison’s ribs were. Then they would tape them until they healed.
The healing time of broken bones could take thirty minutes to two or four hours, depending on how powerful the werewolf was.
Jamison, being an Alpha Class fighter, spoke of how much power he had. Alora estimated Jamison would heal in the next thirty minutes, an hour at most.
Darien was cringing as he looked at Jamison, he remembered well the pain of broken ribs. Training as an Alpha Class fighter could be brutal at times. Alora had busted his ribs more. than once over the years of training together. Darien had also suffered a punctured and collapsed lung from one of those breaks.
It had not been a very pleasant experience for Darien and had given him a healthy respect for the severity of broken ribs. Darien still could not forget the horrified devastation on Alora’s face as he coughed and choked on his own blood. It took Darien two weeks to get Alora to stop apologizing for it every three minutes they were around each other.
Jamison was taped up and sent up to his seat. As soon as he was out of the arena, the announcer called the next fight. “Next up, we have Galen Mountainmover against Lexus
Stonemaker!”
Lexus met Jamison in the aisle. “Are you going to be okay?” Lexus asked Jamison.
Jamison looked at Lexus, and for some reason felt warmth start to spread inside him. He liked that Lexus had asked after him.
