28. Challenge the Alpha

It was soon afternoon, Xavier had not returned to the room after Kiara had. She’d only seen him at

breakfast, when he stole her food

He had become preoccupied with Zander.

Several new members had been recruited to the Sirius Bright Pack. Today, they were expected to

demonstrate their talents and

abilities to the Alphas, after which they would be allocated their roles and tasks. Some had already

shifted into the wolves. They were all

brimming with capabilities. Everyone’s faces were filled with dignity and pride as the gorgeous woman

approached the field with her

positive energy.

“Luna”

When Kiara arrived with Jennifer and Lena, the old and new pack members who had gathered on the

grounds bowed to her. It was

late afternoon, and the new luna of the pack had been asked to watch the fight. It was an honor to fight in

the presence of both the

Alphas and Luna. The Luna, on the other hand, could always decline, but Kiara had opted to join quickly

as her lessons ended.

They received a beautiful smile from Kiara as a welcome, who immediately spotted the Alpha twins

sitting in their respective chairs.

Xavier’s eyes were already on her even though he had been talking to Kaiden. She had been wearing a

light blue dress that accentuated

her curves. Beta Kaiden had been standing next to Xavier and, as usual Tyler had taken his place next to

Zander. The younger brother’s

gaze went to Xavier, who had been devouring his woman with his eyes.

“This is why I suggested you have lunch. I was afraid that you would eat your woman with your eyes,”

Zander chided. Kiaden and

Tyler chuckled but the Alpha had been watching Kiara’s every move as she had been getting closer to

him, increasing his heartbeat.

“I have the same fear. Someday she will be eaten by me if she keeps looking at me with those eyes,”

Xavier turned his gaze to his

brother, who had no idea that he had spoken his thoughts out loud. What was going on? Instead of

getting annoyed, he had been lost in

his own world.

Kiara had a wonderful seat next to Xavier that was just for her. This was what she had been born to be,

his Luna. She began to

approach him while still staring up at him. Why wasn’t he avoiding eye contact with her today? She licked

her lips in response to his

arousal. If he continued on like this, then she had no idea how long she could control her desires.

“Will the Luna also take part in the fight? It would be amusing,” someone shouted in the crowd, but it was

plainly heard by everyone.

Xavier scowled, casting a lethal glare at the she-wolf for uttering her stupid thoughts in public! Dean

growled, looking at the seat that

had been empty. Kiara’s feet had come to a halt at the unexpected question that caused everyone to

cheer for her to join them for a little

while. They were, as predicted, eager to learn more about their new Luna. Could a stunningly beautiful,

5.7-foot-tall woman with a fair

and slim figure like a princess know how to fight?

“Wow, that’s a great idea, Luna Kiara. Jennifer and Lena will also have a good time with the pack

members that have joined us today.

If you wish, you are welcome to join the fight.” Stephen stepped onto the training grounds and took his

seat, bowing respectfully to the

Alphas and Luna.

Even though she had not responded, Kiara had observed her Beta and Gamma female’s enthusiasm.

Jennifer was not going to fight but she was going to bring Kiara water and other things she might need.

Every wolf’s gaze was on her, the new pack members admired her. If she declined the invitation in this

state, she may be sneered at.

“True. There’s no harm in having some fun.” Kiara smiled. Stephen applauded her since Kiara’s

participation in the event had

elevated everyone’s excitement, energy, and confidence. Xavier had a sour frown on his face as he knew

what was about to transpire

would drive him and his wolf insane.

The Luna had to pick her opponent! Lena included every potential candidate who had already chosen

their companions. Kiara had

just joined, therefore she needed to choose one as well. Those that wished to confront Kiara took a step

forward. Candidates stepped

forward, and they consisted of both male and female candidates. Two males and two females, to be

exact, she might choose any of the

warriors.

When he realized Cole was among them, Xavier’s muscles tensed. That young wolf was unquestionably

a f*****g nuisancel He was all

allowing the others to glimpse her smooth skin. Kiwa had no dere to anty her han with dirt and mud.

Xavier’s mark gleamed in the

sunlight on her neck, but it also enhanced her elegance.

The young she wolf had also changed her clothes. She was dressed in a pink sleeveless top with black

shorts. It was better than the

others who had been displaying too much skin, but the luna, like the lotus amid mud, was the most

beautiful. Why did cho havet

of that it was just a small event, not a real fight!

“Please select your opponent, Luna.” Stephen requested. From the corner of his eyes, the Alpha looked

at the elderly wolf. The elder

was once again suspiciously active!

Yet when the time had come to do this with Petra, that old man had been suffering from a headache!

According to his claim, he had

been very unwell and had been unable to get out of bed. Stephen’s unwillingness to attend the combat

program to greet the new

members had been a shame to the previous Luna. Petra had also taken part. This time, though, his

Grandfather was ecstatic. His clapping

and voice were convincing enough to fool anyone into thinking that there was a young wolf under his old

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

skin! How was it that he wasn’t

sick this time?! He appeared to have so much energy that he could easily overcome four ranked males!

Also, what’s the deal with his twin? His brother, who used to argue with Grandfather, was now clapping

with Stephen when Kiara had

agreed. Everyone had been acting strangely, or was it just Alpha Xavier who was overthinking?

Everyone waited with bated breath for Kiara to pick her opponent. Cole was already ecstatic and had

decided to be gentle with her.

He was prepared to lose if he had the chance to fight with Kiara! It meant a lot to him. It would be almost

like a triumph.

Xavier observed Kiara raising her hand to select her opponent before she chose, he received a mind-link

from one of the pack

members assigned to be a prison guard.

“Alpha, I’d like to request your presence here. Something is not right,” the guard informed him. Xavier

and Zander exchanged

glances. The Beta and Gamma had also obtained the group mind-link and were prepared to accompany

them. Zander and Kaiden were

the first to leave the ground. Tyler had followed Xavier, who had explained the scenario to his Grandpa

before rising from his seat, so that

Stephen could announce the winner and handle the situation if they were unable to return on time.

That’s when Xavier came to a halt, only to discover that the crowd had unexpectedly quieted down.

What’s the issue? What was the

reason for the deafening silence?

He turned around, noting that everyone was staring at him, that was when he noticed Kaira had pointed

her finger at Xavier.

“I choose the Alpha as my opponent,” the young woman declared, stunning everyone around her. She

had dared to challenge the

Alpha!

“You can’t challenge the Alpha, Kiara,” Jennifer whispered quietly into her ear.

“I wonder why?” Kiara raised her brows at Xavier.

“Because he isn’t competing,” Jennifer explained.

“They said I could pick anyone, but if you insist, I’ll want to select Cole…”

“Challenge accepted!” Xavier’s voice resonated throughout the training field. Cole’s expression, which

had brightened when Kiara

picked him, had turned sorrowful when Xavier accepted the challenge before she could finish her

statement and seal his fate as her

opponent. Had the Alpha heard her?

The Alpha began to make his move towards his Luna, while also glaring at the young wolf, whose

melancholy irritated Xavier. Dean’s

ears were perked up since he could hear everything Jennifer and Kiara were saying. The Beta and

Gamma females instantly excused themselves from the ground, as did all of the other candidates who

had to pick each other as opponents. As the Alpha and Luna came

face to face, the crowd erupted in praise and glee. Today, the pack was about to witness a historic event

in which their Luna confronted

Alpha, who readily accepted.

“Didn’t tell you there was nothing in the world that could be used to substitute for me?” Xavier furrowed

his brow. She couldn’t

step away from him even if she tried. She had selected him, now she had no other alternative. He

extended his hand to shake hands with

Kiara’s, which was one of the norms. The young woman, who had not anticipated this cold man

accepting the challenge, had been taken

aback.

throughout the fight, only Xavier would be able to touch her. Even if it was only for lun, she would never

willingly let another man touch

her. The Alpha, on the other hand, appeared to be taking the challenge quite seriously.

“How can I forget when you keep reminding me?” Kiara snickered, shaking his hand, which was as warm

as it had always been. When

he heard his woman, the Alpha smirked. Kiara tried to pull her hand back, but was yanked forward by

Xavier.

“What are you doing?” She gasped in surprise. Her breast collided with his hard chest as she was caged

in his arms.

“Did you not challenge me to a fight?” he inquired.

“Yes, but shouldn’t we shift into our wolves?” She was puzzled. He didn’t seem to grasp the concept of a

fight. People might be

misled into thinking they were embracing each other.

“No need, I’d rather face you in my human form,” Kiara’s eyes widened as he revealed his plan. They

had only five minutes, which

was quickly flying by. If he wished to attack her in his human form, why was she still in his arms? She

needed to break free since he had

cleverly imprisoned her,

Kiara used all of her might to break free from his grip and drag hersell away to get into a fighting position

to counter his move, but

she was drawn aback by the Alpha, who gripped her waist this time.

“What are you doing now?” She screamed. What sort of brawl was this, where he could grab her waist

and ass in front of

everyone?

“Don’t move around too much or you will end up in pain,” he said, softly near her lips. For a second, the

young woman thought that

he was going to kiss her.

“Pain? Where?” She asked in confusion. He looked damn serious.

“In your stomach. If you fight during your period, you will get cramps, so don’t struggle.” Xavier advised,

without looking at the other

people who were not gossiping. Stephen had a huge smile on his face as he watched the new way these

two were fighting.

Unfortunately, Zander had missed it. Kiara had been taken by surprise by Xavier’s remark. How had he

found out that she had her period?

And for how long?

“I’m not in pain right now.” Kiara stated, “my period ended two days ago.”

“What? It barely lasted two days f*****g!” Xavier growled.

“Yes,” Kiara responded, unsure of the true cause of his outburst.

“Then why didn’t you tell me?” He drew her closer to him by roughly grabbing her ass, which felt like a

slightly painful yet

pleasurable massage. She had not been touched by him in this way in days.

“Do you have any clue how hard it’s been trying to keep myself together these past few days?” Xavier’s

emerald eyes were filled with

intrigue and discontent. Kiara blinked her eyes open, realizing that he had not used and thrown her as

she had assumed. He had been

avoiding her because she was menstruating.

The Alpha had lived in misery while adhering to the contract that stated that he would not touch her

during her cycles! He had

expected it to last four or five days, but it had only lasted two. f**k! He struggled not to become aroused

by the scent of the young

she-wolf.

Dean had gone insane trying not to screw her whenever she passed by. Not once had he found a

satisfying release with a hand

job.

Kiara’s lips curled into a small smile when she realized the reason for his refusal to return to their room.

Sleeping anywhere other

than their bed would most certainly have resulted in his having restless nights. Her nights had been the

same as his.

“Don’t smile. Why didn’t you tell me?” The Alpha arched his brows, offering a deadly glare that might

frighten any other wolf, but not

Kiara.

“You never asked me,” she said, pushing him away from her using her full strength and releasing herself

from his hold. The Alpha was

distracted. This was her chance. She shifted into a fighting stance, unleashing punches and kicks on

him, which he easily dodged. Kiara

had planned to use her best move to knock him down on the ground, but the Alpha seized her leg with

one hand. Had he been aware of

her next move?

hand, had other plans tor his woman who really wanted a fight with him. He drew her leg back. Kiara

struggled to control her movement,

What was he doing?! She was brought back into his arms just as she was able to gain control over her

body. Kiara’s back slammed into

Xavier’s chest this time. His hands were across her shoulders to her chest. It could not be a coincidence.

His fingers had brushed her

n*****s!

Kiara couldn’t even think about moving since she had just felt his hot breath on her neck. What was he

doing? Xavier’s teeth

proceeded to her hair, where he carefully drew her hair tie out of her hair, causing her long hair to fall

down all at once. Her hair, like it had done previously, obscured a portion of her lovely face. But Kiara’s

whole focus was on his tips, which had been traveling towards her

mark

“Be prepared for tonight, Kiara.” Kiara shivered while letting out a soft moan when he kissed her mark

playfully. The Alpha had

already announced to his prey to accept his arrival that evening.

“Please…” Kiara closed her eyes and threw her head back, oblivious to the fact that the entire pack was

watching them.

“Xavier!!!” Zander’s shout resonated across the field, causing a sudden ruckus around them. When

Xavier realized the danger that

was approaching him, he c****d his brows and grimaced. When he withdrew his attention away from

Kiara’s neck, he saw an unknown

wolf racing towards them! He was going to kill them since he was just a few meters away. Kiara had

already pushed Xavier away before he

could react.

“Kiara!” Xavier roared, shifting into his wolf, as the wolf slung her away in a blink. Who was that wolf?

Why had he attacked

Kiara?!

There was no chance that both of them would survive with the wolf’s close proximity and speed, so Kiara

had pushed Xavier away.

Xavier rushed like a man possessed to catch Kiara before her head hit the nearby wall, which would only

lead to her death. Kiara

screamed, closing her eyes, only to be knocked into something soft yet firm before collapsing on the

ground. Xavier writhed in agony as

the momentum from Kiara’s body injured his bones severely. His body had not let her head touch the

wall. He shifted back in a split

second to cradle the young woman’s head in his lap. But her eyes remained closed.

“Kiara!”

“Open your eyes! Look at me,” Xavier yelled as he looked at her bloodied arm. The wolf’s teeth had

scraped her badly.

“Call the doctor!” The Alpha gave the command, startling the others who had frozen in place to see their

Alpha’s rage.

++++

Xavier had already notified Zander of his delayed arrival at the prison through mind-link. Obviously, the

younger brother had made a

comment to irritate his brother indicating that Kiara was the cause, but Xavier blocked him out. Alpha

Zander and Beta Kaiden entered

the cell unaware of the true circumstances within, as the guard had not finished his sentence. When they

entered the jail, they discovered

a blood-soaked corpse of the guy who had summoned them. The body of a wolf had been discovered on

the floor of the cell. Who was

responsible for his death? Many criminals were imprisoned behind silver bars, but just one cell door was

open, with the remains of two

more guards inside. When the Alpha’s furious aura began to suffocate their wolves, the other criminals

sought to cower in the darkness

of their cells. Were they the ones who had done this?!

“I believe a prisoner has escaped from the prison, Alpha!” In a panic, Kaiden exclaimed. The fugitive’s

smell lingered in the cell. He’d

been there for a few seconds prior to their arrival! But how could this happen? There was only one way

in and out of the prison. It was

through the main gate, yet neither the Alpha nor the Beta noticed the offender fleeing.

“Zander, what’s wrong?” Kaiden asked. Then he turned to face the Alpha, who was unusually quiet after

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

witnessing the blood shed of

one of his men. He arched his brows, following Zander’s attention to his left, where Alpha’s emerald eyes

had been boring a large fiery

hole.

“1*k!” The Beta roared, realizing that the criminal had escaped through a small door that had been

sealed off for 20 years!

“How did that fucker break through that?!” Kaiden cursed. Zander’s muscles clenched. Unfortunately, the

door opened to the back side of the pack property. If that fucker had no intention of running away from

the pack that meant he would be heading to the training

grounds!

Kaiden sprinted after Zander, who dashed out of the prison in quest after the escaped wolf. Before he

had the chance to murder

still unable to link Xavier since his brother had blocked him. Nol This was not a good time to block each

other. No one could have

predicted how things would turn out today. How the f**k had that wolf broken out of the cell? He could not

have done it alonel Zander

was too far away, only Xavier could intervene and apprehend the culprit in time.

Due to the heinous acts of all the convicts imprisoned in the jail. Many of them had been sentenced to

life in prison, while others had

been sentenced to death. Every single one of them harbored a grudge against both of the Alphas.

Pack members were constantly updating him on the criminal wolf’s location. Kaiden and the others

continued to devise a strategy

on how to capture the wolf alive. here was no way that they would simply let him die after murdering the

guards. The culprit had, as

predicted, gone straight for the training grounds. Why? He could have chosen to run and save his own

skin. So why had he gone to where Xavier and Kiara were? Zander ran to the training field, increasing

his pace in an attempt to apprehend the convict, but it was already too

late.

“Xavier!!!”

Zander yelled to warn his brother of the impending danger that had set out to murder him, but it was

already too late. Surprisingly, Kiara, who had seen the mad wolf barreling towards them, protected Xavier

without regard for her own life, causing the wolf to attack her. Everyone’s breath came to a halt in horror

for a moment. Zander was frozen for a split second as he watched Kiara’s figure being

tossed away like a doll. She was close to death. On the one hand, Xavier completely forgot about himself

and instinctively moved to

protect Kiara, utterly oblivious to the fact that a wild wolf had made up his mind to murder him.

Zander became enraged. The she-wolf who had saved his brother’s life was now in jeopardy! Kiara was

the only one who had been

able to persuade Xavier to join them in the dining room after all these years. The stubborn Alpha had

always pushed people away, but

thanks to her, he was beginning to accept someone. She had not only been his brother’s second chance,

but also the lady who could

really turn him back into a human! Zander believed it, and now this f*****g psychotic beast had attempted

to murder his brother’s mate!

He had no right to live now! He’d serve hell for hurting his family!

Evan, Zander’s wolf, took over him as he changed in a flash to kill the wolf that was about to attack his

brother and sister-in-law

again. Without being given a command, the other pack members, including beta and gamma Tyler,

shifted to kill the insane one.

But they were a considerable distance away, the escaped wolf was ready to strike Xavier and Kiara from

behind. Kiara’s wounded arm had Xavier’s full attention, he had commanded that a Doctor be called. A

few members who had been worried for their Luna had been

badly affected by the Alpha’s wrath. For a split second, the younger brother worried about what would

happen if Kiara died. He would

never be able to piece Xavier back together after that. Yes, she was simply a surrogate for him, but they

shared a mate bond. If she died,

Dean would suffer greatly. It would most likely be even worse than when he had rejected Petra.

Zander accelerated his pace. He was only a few meters away from the bastard wolf when an unfamiliar

grey wolf struck the criminal

in the leg. Who was that valiant wolf? He sunk his teeth into the leg of the convict until he bled and yelled

out in agony, but the criminal

wolf was thirsty for the blood of the Alpha and Luna. He kicked the grey wolf as he charged towards

Xavier and Kiara on his wounded leg,

only to be dragged away by Zander.

In a split second, the criminal wolf lost his ears as his body was thrown into a nearby wall by the Alpha,

who had just shown the wolf

his most deadly maneuver. The new pack members were terrified at witnessing the combined rage of the

twin Alpha’s, but it was far from

over. The wolf whimpered in agony over his lost ears and a few fractured bones, but he didn’t shout,

since his eyes bore Zander’s furious

green gaze. Evan’s roar rang in what was left of his ears before his throat was torn open.

“Open your eyes, Kiara! I dare you to die! Look at me!” Xavier murmured as he wrapped a scarf around

her bleeding arm. Her blood

loss was heavy.

“Xavier…” Xavier stopped, as he watched Kiara open her eyes weakly.

“Tam okay,” she responded, feeling his fingers wipe the corner of her eyes, which were wet due to the

pain. Xavier’s face was red from taking hard, furious breaths.

“Don’t close your eyes. Don’t you dare die on me,” Xavier repeated, lifting her in his arms and carrying

her back into the pack house.

He had been listening to everything that had been going on around them. He stopped and watched as

Zander ripped the wolf’s throat

out but Xavier’s revenge had not been completed yet.

bone, then the criminal’s wolt’s head was separated from his torso. The Alpha hurled the criminal’s head

like garbage at Xavier’s teet

before kicking his chest, releasing the rest of the rage that had been stored in his veins.

Everyone returned to their human forms and promptly offered Zander football shorts. Xavier averted his

gaze from his twins as he marched away with Kiara in his arms, smashing the criminal’s head under his

heel.

Xavier looked down at Kiara’s closed eyes and tears that had been flowing through the corners of her

eyes. He pulled her closer to his

chest.

“You are not allowed to die!” The Alpha Wolf growled with him.
