Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 31

There were familiar faces among the group being trained which are Blake, Elaine, May and some students from their class who signed up to be trained to become warriors of the Dark Moon Pack. Every senior-student in the Moon Academy is given the choice to sign up to become warriors of the Dark Moon Pack.

There are different ranks for being a warrior in the Dark Moon Pack which along the way through training and missions.

Trainee is the lowest rank among the warriors. Trainee ranked warriors are only allowed to join patrols under strict supervision. Second rank is the Regular, are qualified to be vice-captains in every squad and they are qualified to participate in any missions except for special operations. The highest rank is the Elites. Elite warriors are immediately qualified to be captains in all missions except for the most dangerous one.

Louve was supposed to be qualified only to be Trainee, since everyone must go through the rank of Trainee before becoming regulars.

In qualifying to be regular rank warriors, one must become a trainee first through signing up.

While success in missions and recommendation of the Evaluation Committee will be the requirement to become an Elite ranked warrior of the Dark Moon Pack. Everyone was wearing their training suits.

As soon as Louve gets so to stand beside Dolf, everyone around became curious of what is about to happen. Every warrior waited in anticipation to what was Louve intending to do.

Then, something was about to take place that no one expected.

"I want to challenge Dolf in a duel for a promotion rank." Louve issued blatantly.

Loud expressions of surprise and astonishment were being thrown.

A challenge for promotion rank never happened in the Dark Moon Pack because every warrior knows how strong Dolf is. Only the Alpha Connor defeated Dolf.

Dolf is the second to the Alpha Connor in terms of physical strength and martial arts expertise but in terms of the totality of over-all battle prowess which includes mental fortitude, strategy, weapon skills, hyper-sense, assistance and coordination. Dolf falls the fourth ranking which is the Executive Officers in over-all battle prowess.

The challenge for a promotion rank can either be rejected or accepted. It was only created for the sole purpose to encourage every warrior to get stronger. It seems that some sentences in this chapter require you to read the complete chapters on Jo b n i b.com in order to avoid an incomplete reading experience. Both Arnold and May went immediately to Dolf. They wanted Dolf to reject it since the three of them are aware about Louve's connection with Alpha Connor. Arnold and May do not want to be reprimanded once their Alpha Connor replaces out that his mate got hurt if Dolf gets serious.

But before they could talk to him, he already replied.

"I accept!"

Thunderous reactions reverberated all over the training ground. It was the first time for everyone to witness a challenge issued especially towards the Commander of the warriors of the Dark Moon Pack.

The Gamma Arnold of the Dark Moon Pack and the current in charge of the pack while their Alpha King was not around, he was surprised that Dolf accepted the challenge.

He is also worried about what will be their Alpha King so once he replaces out that his mate gets hurt by Dolf.

Other warriors start to gather around Louve and Dolf.

"The rules are simple, only physical strength and skills can be used. No other abilities can be used, especially your spirit wolf cannot take over. The first person to give up, loses." Arnold reminds Love and Dolf. Both Louve and Dolf positioned themselves in their fighting stance.

"Ready... Fight!" Arnold signaled the start of the showdown.

Dolf threw the first attack.

Louve immediately evaded all Dolf's punches swiftly. Her movement was too quick and everyone could see her move lightly. She was prancing lightly like a feather.

Everyone thought and whispered how will she land a damaging blow that will prompt her victory if she is too light.

they did not think Louve would have enough strength to defeat Dolf.

Blake knows that his older brother is not being easy on Louve. He can see his older brother throwing punches and trying to take down Louve seriously.

Then, Louve found an opening and sent a powerful kick on Dolf's side. Dolf felt a strong pressure on his left rib cage.

A smile formed on Louve's face since she knows that Dolf underestimated her real physical strength. Now, everyone is silent and focused on the match because Louve has shown impressive performance. "You can do it, Louve! This one is small fry." Harou confidently cheers Louve.

"He is not a small fry. He is strong and a tough one, I must say! Underestimating him will be our downfall." Louve's reminder to her spirit wolf.

Exchange of blows were being thrown. Everyone is eagerly watching the powerful kicks and punches that Louve is throwing but Dolf is blocking them perfectly as if it is nothing until he also replaces a chance to launch a powerful blow of Louve's abdomen region. Arnold wanted to help Louve but May stopped him. Arnold immediately understood why May stopped him.

In every official duel match that has been officially set, all werewolves must abide and respect both werewolves that are fighting for the honor and respect in the pack.

Not only for promotional rank match or challenge, but werewolves in Dark Moon Pack resolve their differences or arguments through a duel match. The victor in the duel will earn more respect and gain the honor to declare themselves the winner in any argument or squabble.

That is why Arnold understood well enough as May stopped him that they should not intervene or else Louve will never forgive them both.

It is another thing if their future Luna will not forgive them for their insolence and disrespect for the honor that she wants to earn from the other warriors of the Dark Moon Pack.

Different cheers were resonating all over the entire training grounds. Louve punch Dolf in his face and his upper chin that makes him a little dizzy. He exchange punching with Louve into her stomach, and felt her stomach cramps.

"End it already, Louve! Looks like he wants to burn our stamina out. We need to do a finishing move!" Harou advised the best way for Louve to do so.

Louve tried to use her opening to bait Dolf into throwing another strong blow which he completely did.

As soon as Dolf threw his strong punch towards Louve, everyone was surprised how Louve anticipated the attack and grabbed Dolf's arm.

She used her full strength to throw Dolf's body on the ground and made a last swift strike towards Dolf's neck. Then, stopping her own hand as it touches Dolf's skin.

"I win!" Announced by Louve.

Dolf knew that it's over since he got out-maneuvered by Louve. Even though he was not able to call for surrender but he had to admit his own defeat because it was a clear fatal move that would end his life if only Louve had not stopped herself. "I acknowledge defeat!"

Admitted by Dolf with dignity and respect for their future Luna - Louve.

"Victor of the duel... Louve!" Arnold announces as he raised Louve's arm.

Then, everyone cheered Louve while others gushed that someone actually won against Dolf.

Blake was the most shocked but everything went slow for him as Louve gleamed and radiated with beauty. It was his first time to see Louve in a different light. "Outrageously beautiful!"

Louve was so happy to win the challenge match for Promotional Rank.

Louve silently ponders to herself and to Harou, her wolf, which could hear its own thoughts.

That Phase 1 of her plans is now complete!

Now, time for Phase 2 of her plans for the changes that she wants to implement around the Dark Moon Pack.

"Let the change begin!" Louve declaration.
