Sold To The Alpha
The Cursed Luna Chapter 31

'Ready?.... Warriors begin!'

At the sound of those words, Lucas immediately shifted into his wolf form, the short dirty brown fur t in his human form, obviously unimpressed with his opponents small build.

The pair slowly began to circle each other taking a few moments to size the other up, each waiting for himself toward his adversary, claws extended. Justin stood still until the body of the attacking wolf wa stomach and pushing upwards, using the wolf's own momentum to flip him over his body, sending hir Standing up, Justin idly brushed the dirt from his trousers, before standing straight and waiting for Lu he would not be allowed to escape the Beta's wrath.

Lunging forward, Lucas snapped his teeth closed around Justin's left arm, sinking his canines onto the released his hold backing away, his gaze never leaving the Beta's face.

Steeling himself, Lucas shook himself carefully before running toward Justin again, launching off his fo collision, landing on both feet facing the desperate wolf who had landed heavily behind him spinning Raising his arms out in front of him, Justin quickly grabbed the wolf by the scruff of his neck, swinging pierced through his short fur. Whimpering, Lucas staggered back to his feet, looking around the crowd sidestepping the growling wolf, as he dug his nails into Lucas' side, dragging his nails through the mat Howling in pain, Lucas backed away, cowering, laying himself on to the floor, he rolled on to his back, 'No submission' shouted Justin, his eyes blazing, 'You will fight and you will die! Attack me warrior, die Pulling himself to his feet, Lucas stood at the edge of the circle, his tail tucked tightly between his leg Justin strode over to the cowering wolf, grabbing his scruff he dragged him back to the middle of the warriors hand as Justin punched him in the ribs his fury emanating from his body like a tangible heat Extending his claws again, Justin dropped to his knees and plunged them into the exposed stomach o off his opponents back as he stabbed his flesh again and again.

'Justin' called out Charity quietly 'I think he's had enough'

ered his body did nothing to enhance his small stature that was barely bigger than a common pet dog. Justin eyed him with indifference, choosing to remain

After a few minutes, realizing that Justin was not going to attack first, Lucas growled menacingly and lunged st on top of him, carefully falling backward underneath the heavy form of the growling beast, Justin lazily lifted his foot, catching the wolf squarely in the ng toward the edge of the ring where he landed with a painful thud on the ground behind him.

As he started to stagger toward Justin, slightly unsteady on his feet, the Beta extended his claws, causing blood to drip from the wounds onto the floor.

whined pathetically, his eyes begging the Beta to be allowed to submit.

bbing his front leg he easily snapped it between his hands drawing a scream from Lucas' lips as he repeatedly showed his neck, trying to lick the angry

oken form of the submissive wolf that lay at his feet. Lucas yelped pitifully but refused to continue to attack, just laying on his back watching the anger roll

The grieving Beta was beyond hearing the words of his Luna, punching repeatedly into the ribs of the barely moving body in his grasp. 'Justin' shouted Charity desperately 'Let him go, he knows your pain now'

'No' yelled Justin, jumping to his feet, and spinning toward his Luna, 'He doesn't know my pain, none of you do! he will never understand what he took from me! I shall never be whole, he deserves to die for what he did to my mate' he shouted, his eyes wild 'he deserves to suffer for hours at my hands, I couldn't protect her, but I will avenge her. Justin's voice broke as he spoke, the tears falling as his grief crashed down upon him, turning back to the blood covered wolf he kicked him forcefully with his boot, causing a small whimper to leave the lips of the broken wolf before him.

A slight shimmer came from Lucas' skin as he shifted back into his human form, leaving him laying naked on the ground, his breathing ragged and full of pain as the blood dripped from his wounds, large black bruises already visible on his skin.

Opening his eyes as best he could, Lucas looked up at the grieving Beta, gasping heavily he raised his head slightly 'I am sorry Beta' he whispered 'I did not mean to kill her'

Justin glared at him 'but you meant to kill someone didn't you dog, you were aiming for my Luna and that is no more acceptable to me than aiming for my Mate, you attacked people that were important to me, and the worse thing is, you attacked unarmed people, whilst their backs were turned! You are a coward! Your mere presence on this earth is a blot against the Werewolf people' he growled crouching down next to the terrified man who tried to hold his hands over his head in protection. Grabbing the weak and shaking body of the Oakridge warrior, Justin pulled him into a sitting position, Lucas' head resting against his chest facing toward the crowd. Placing one hand on the bleeding warriors forehead, and the other around his neck, grasping just below his ear, Justin whispered to him 'Do you know why you didn't have a chance against me Lucas? because you don't have an Alpha. When you have a leader, a real wolf who dedicates themselves to the protection and betterment of their pack, who spends their time making you the best and strongest version of who you are, then you replace that you are invincible. I am this strong because my Alpha helped me to reach my potential, you had no-one to push you. You thought with your special sprays that cover your scent and your barrier that you didn't need to be strong. You were wrong! I would almost feel sorry for you, but you still murdered my mate' he growled, pain and anger mixed in his voice as his hands tightened around the whimpering mans neck. 'You took something precious from me Lucas, so I need to take your life'

Lifting the pale faced man further off the floor, Justin prepared himself to snap the thin neck of the defeated warrior, as his muscles rippled in his arms, preparing for the sharp snap a voice shouted out from behind the crowd,

'STOP!' came the female voice, desperation evident in the sweet lilting sound, as she pushed her way through the crowd, Justin and Lucas looked toward her in confusion as she stepped into the ring in front of them.
