ALPHA JAKE’S POV
I woke up with a disturbing headache and as soon as I remembered the event of today my anxiety increased.
I should have stopped them, I should not have allowed Violet to get through with this crazy idea of a fight with my luna, Scarlet. No matter how I want to look at it, Scarlet remains the luna of Black Moon until the title is formally taken away from her.
Sighed. I am yet to decide what to do with her. She had lived in deceit, her whole life here had been a lie. And I will make her pay for humiliating me in such a manner. I will make beta Tim and every single person from his household pay for what they have caused me.
“The fight begins in a couple of minutes, alpha,” Robert said to me.
I hesitated and tried to stand but could barely lift my feet. I plopped back into the bed and stared tiredly at Robert.
“I can cancel the fight for another time if you so desire, alpha” Robert offered.
“No don’t. I only need to grab my shirt and we are out of here” I replied.
“But you shouldn’t allow this, alpha. No matter what she still has your title” Robert said calmly.
I sighed. “Nothing can be compared to the humiliation that I feel. The fight will go on” I dismissed.
“If you say so, my alpha. I am only concerned for the luna” he said.
“She will not remain luna for long, Robert. But then what do you fear for? Isn’t she a beta wolf and Violet an ordinary wolf more of an omega wolf? Violet should stand no chance against her” I retorted.
“But then her case is a peculiar one” he insisted.
“That is what we are going to find out this morning” I responded and shut him a warning look not to go any further.
He got the gist and did not dare to say another word.
I dragged my lazy ass out of the bed and went for my shirt.

SCARLET’S POV
“You can this stop this craze you know,” Rich said.
I shut another look at him and did not make any response.
“You are not feeling too well,” Lara said with a look of concern. “You can still ask for another date”
“I am fine, Lara. And you Rich, haven’t you been coaching me all along? And even you confirmed that I am better now. I have to do this now” I replied.
I looked at Violet as she stood at the other side of the field with her friend, Elise. They both had evil grins on their faces. They were so sure that they will deal with me.
The fight will kick off any moment from now, and we were waiting for the alpha’s arrival before we commence.
“I can take the fight up for you, luna. You are the luna and you can assign another to fight in your stead” Rich volunteered.
“And allow you fight with a woman” I giggled, he sounded ridiculous. He will break Violet’s bone and rip her to pieces in no time.
“Let me fight with her, luna, please let me do it” Lara offered.
“You are an omega wolf, Lara, and naturally Violet should be stronger than you” I responded.
“I can face her, my luna, I am not weak as omega and should be able to defeat her. Remember I always train with you too” she tries to have me change my mind.
“This is my fight, Lara. You guys would have to trust me” I declined as politely as I could.
“Okay, luna. I can see that you are determined to do this and that is the first rule of engagement. You need a strong zeal and willingness to not just take on the opponent but also to defeat the opponent…” Rich advised.
He went on and on about all I need to know about combats. He repeats these same words almost every day and I have become accustomed to them. His words lightened my spirit and strengthened my resolve. I will not just take on Violet, but I will make her beg under my rage.
I am happy that my friends are finally giving me the full support I need at a time like this to be able to take on the enemy.
I am not fighting to keep my title or to retain the alpha, I am fighting to show Violet her place. I am fighting to prove to the world that I am not less than a wolf. I know I have never done a real fight before, but it all begins one day.
“We are here for you, my luna, never forget that. Show no mercy to her, defeat her with the same amount of love that you bestowed on her” Lara said.
“You can do this and we know it. I have been with you for over a year now, and I can confidently say that Violet is no match for you. You’ve got to show her the stuff that you are made of. She had invaded your territory, your pride land and so must be treated as an intruder and an unrepentant rogue. Put her in her place, Luna” Rich said.
Their support was all I needed and I am glad that I was getting a truckload of it. I looked at Violet, this time with the terror that has already built up in me. The alpha should be here immediately or I will launch the first attack.
VIOLET’S POV
I had accepted to fight with her in our human form just so as to expose her despicable skin to everyone. I want them to behold her shameful scars.
But she is really full of pride. What was she thinking before accepting this challenge? She could have well had said no and the alpha would not even try to force her. she is the luna and there are so many things no one can make her do.
Naive. That is what she is. She is like a lonesome teenage girl with no proper guidance.
Anyways, I need this. I need this for the alpha because he is yet to react to this the way I want. He is been reluctant on sending her away and making me his luna.
“I told you it is not ordinary” Elise whispered into my ears as if she has been in my thought all along.
I inhaled. “But she does not know what she is up against” I replied with a smirk.
I shut a hateful look at Scarlet. By the time I am done with her, she will personally beg to be thrown out, but by then, I will have more use for her as I would gladden at the sight of her miserable self.
“You would have no do more to bring Jake back to his senses. You can see that he is under some dark magic, a great spell from her” she whispered again.
“This is just the beginning, Elise. I will disgrace her here today and Jake would never refer to her as his luna ever again” I smirked.
She grinned and held on tightly to my hand. “He is not here yet, has he changed his mind?” she asked.
“He would not dare to do that. Don’t worry he will be here soon” I replied with some rays of hope.
The alpha despises her now but only tries to respect her as his luna. But there is no way he would turn his back on me at this time. He knows how much this fight means to me and he would not dare to stop it.
After a few more minutes, the alpha arrived with his beta, Robert together with some of his guard.
Immediately he took his place, he instructed Robert to go straight to business without stealing a glance at any of us.
“This is an occasion that we which do not have to happen but it is apparent that the luna and Violet are eager to go on with it. Both parties should do well to adhere to the rules of combat”

SCARLET’S POV
She launched an attack at me and made to reach for my chest but I was quick to dodge her and landed a blow on her stomach as soon as her hand dropped.
She groaned and charged at me, her fists landing on my face in quick succession. This is the closest that she had gotten to me since the fight started.
Surprisingly, she had been at the receiving end since the fight began. I have dealt her a lot of blows and punches on all parts of her body. She has already turned red with some traces of blood by the corner of her lips.
She was going to land me the fourth blow when I grabbed her hand and swung her around. I drew her back to me and held her hands at her back. She was gasping for breath and trying so hard to pull away from my grips but I held on tightly to her, hitting my head hard against hers.
I could feel her slowly losing her willpower and surrendering to me. All I wanted was for her to say the word and I will let go of her and send her far away.
VIOLET’S POV
I could not believe her prowess. The level of determination that she puts into this fight.
I had thought that she would be an easy take and that I would get her on her knees within minutes. But no I was wrong. The fight has been going on for over an hour now and she is yet to show any sign of getting exhausted.
I felt helpless as she held my hands at my back. I struggled effortlessly to pull away but could not.
I looked up at the faces of those present, I felt the shame of being defeated.
Jake pulled away as soon as my gaze met his, while the others grinned at me, wishing I fall down dead the next minute. It was only Elise that did not give up on me. She encouraged me with her eyes to not give up but fight hard for what I believe in.
With the strength that I got from Elise, I used my hands and tore Scarlet’s clothes. This startled her and as she tried to stop me and get me off her clothes,], I gained more access and dragged the clothes with me.
I stopped. She was wearing a piece of undergarment. Good for her. I tried to examine the scars on her body, but they were none. She was as clean as the snow. Her skin glittered to the admiration of everyone present.
In disappointment, I launched at her with force. I targeted her neck and sent a hard and deadly blow on it.
She staggered from the effect and tried to maintain her balance but I reached for her again, and this time kicked her two legs off the ground.
SCARLET’S POV
It was not until I felt my clothes ripped off my body that I let go of her but she pulled my clothes along with her causing me to remain in my underwear.
She stopped to look at me as I tried to cover myself. And then she came with a blow on my neck. I did not see that coming and so I staggered backward.
Darkness hovered everywhere, my eyes were closing and my whole body was going into a deep sleep. Then I felt a kick on my legs and before I knew what was happening, I landed on the ground with a mighty fall.
