The Wrong Alpha - A Twist Of Fate?
The Wrong Alpha – A Twist Of Fate? Chapter 73

I watch Lilah walk onto the field bare foot, ready to fight with Gabe. I couldn’t believe that Indie had suggested it, though she seemed confident in her friend, and to be fair Lilah didn’t seem nervous at the thought of fighting against Gabe either, he alongside Manuel was my strongest warrior, but she hadn’t seen him fight….. though Indie had in training, so surely she would have known what he is capable of in battles…. So I guess Lilah is a decent enough fighter….

Unless Indie assumed Gabe is also the softest out of the group of us and how much he likes Lilah and assumed he would likely take it easy on Lilah…. Though he didn’t really do that in training…. But Indie didn’t know that….. hmmm maybe it wasn’t a good idea……

I felt a little nervous for her now….. I could always step in if needed… though that would probably annoy her if I was to do that……..

I watched as she stood in front of Gabe, he had a few inches on her in height, that could give him an advantage if she wasn’t careful, I found myself thinking….. Lilah didn’t look particularly nervous, she had her hair pulled back into a ponytail high on her head so I could see her blue eyes intently staring into Gabe’s dark eyes.

Is he regretting this? I found myself wondering will he take it easy on her? Though I knew he didn’t usually do that in training, regardless of who he was fighting, so didn’t expect him to now…..

They grappled slightly, Gabe using his size like I had feared to his advantage, but Lilah then used it against him using her lesser height and her speed and agility to be able to get him into a hold, I could clearly see a look of shock on Gabe’s face.

She was good, pretty quick on her feet… I was intrigued…. I watched as she allowed Gabe to think he had the advantage then proceeded to use some sharp moves to quickly switch that advantage round using some pretty smart and fast moves.

She was giving as good as him, and was fighting as good as any warrior…I saw Lilah look at Indie for a split second and smile. No no focus I thought. Gabe obviously saw the same thing and went to grab her, as he went Lilah quickly moved her leg forward in such a way that she brought Gabe down to the floor….haha she had done him!!! She pinned him!

“YAAAAYYY Lilah!!! Indie screamed deafeningly to my right, s**t she was loud!

The other guys were cheering and clapping, I have to say I was cheering just as loud, she had done well. I looked to her, she was looking down at Gabe grinning, before leaning down and kissing his cheek…

I felt a small twinge of jealousy inside of me….what the f**k was that?! She’s simply messing with him cos she won… She stood up, giving Gabe her hand as she did, helping him to his feet and began to walk toward us.

She looked beautiful, her face was flushed with pride and no doubt exertion from the fight, I could barely take my eyes from her as she walked toward me, would appear I didn’t need to be worried for her…

“better run chica!” I heard Gabe shout with a chuckle, I looked to him quickly, taking my eyes off Lilah, I saw him shifting…. He was now his light reddish brown wolf, moving quick to Lilah…

I saw her spin and she had clearly realised what he had done, she let out a laugh before shifting herself and running….

My heart was racing… Look at her wolf! She is beautiful! She is all black like Knight! I think to myself, her wolf is undeniably beautiful, obviously a lot smaller than my wolf Knight, as Knight is an Alpha wolf so he is bigger and stronger in build and dominance, but she was sleek and petite in build but her colouring was breathtaking…… it was pure black….. I watched her running, dodging Gabe’s wolf Aspen around the field, my eyes barely able to leave her.

“her wolf is beautiful” I heard Manuel say, well he isn’t wrong…

“yeah Sky is gorgeous isn’t she” Indie said proudly, “look at her fur when the sunlight catches off it as she moves it has an almost blue shimmer on it, it looks even better under the moonlight”

What Indie said made me look again at the fur on Lilah’s wolf, the wolf I know knew was called Sky, and I realised Indie was right, her fur did have almost like an iridescent effect to it when caught at certain angles by the light from the sun. I looked across at the others and saw they too looked as mesmerised by Sky as I was.

As I looked back to Sky and Aspen they were dodging one another, Aspen nipping at her, he had got her close to pinned, but she managed to get out!

I couldn’t believe my eyes! She had got out of his grasp, to loop back round and pin him herself! Aspen was nuzzling up against Sky, licking her face in affection, I felt Knight stir inside me, and I don’t think he liked what he saw….

Before I knew it Aspen was running over to us. Sky followed shyly, heading toward Indie, I assume because she recognised her.

As I saw her full on I could finally see her eyes, and they were stunning, they were almost the same blue as Lilah’s! maybe a shade or too darker, more a sapphire shade to them with a similar iridescence that her fur had.

DUDE THEM EYES! Jake linked me.

I KNOW, THEY ARE GORGEOUS RIGHT?! I link back.

Sky went straight to Indie, Indie dropped to her knees, hugging her, petting her like a dog, which I found weird, the others looked on strangely too.

“hey gorgeous girl” she said “you feel good getting out for a run and a fight? Showing the big bad wolves whose boss baby doll?”

I had to smile at Indie, she spoke to Sky like she spoke to Lilah, like she saw the two of them as one of the same person. Sky nuzzled her head against Indie and licked her face affectionately. “lets get you some clothes to put on so Lilah can come back” Indie said.

She walked off and Sky followed her. I was still mesmerised by the wolf as she moved away from us.

Aspen ran off too in the opposite direction.

“I wasn’t expecting her to shift man…” Dan said “Indie had said she had a beautiful wolf, but wow… that colouring is unreal…”

“blew me away” Jake agreed.

I didn’t want to admit it had the same affect on me as they’d not let me live it down, though they had likely seen the effect it had on me when she shifted.

“Though Indie petting her and talking to her like that creeps me out” Jake adds, I have to chuckle as I have to agree I found it a little odd.

“She’s like that with any animal man, should have seen her with a cat outside a coffee shop in town, talking to it like it was her best friend” Dan smiled, clearly replaceing the quirks in his new mate amusing “she says she loves animals, I tried to argue our wolves aren’t quite a standard animal but she wasn’t for agreeing so I gave up”

I tried not to laugh, he clearly already learnt to know when to agree with his mate and not continue a dispute over something that was simply a difference of opinion. My Dad had warned me of this many times when him and mum were having disagreements as I grew up, my Dad would usually just smile in the end and say “you know what darling you’re probably right” and my mum would look proud that she had got my dad to agree, but as soon as mum walked from the room my dad would look to me and say “no way is that right”…. Makes me smile affectionately at the thought.

Lilah and Indie were walking back in our direction, Lilah now dressed in some deep purple yoga pants and a matching crop top, I noticed a few what looked like light bruises on her sides……. Had she done that fighting with Gabe? I didn’t realise he’d knocked her that hard…had he?

“so what did you think of my super girl?” Indie grinned as they approached. “she fights good right?”

“well you certainly gave Gabe a run for his money” Jake said to Lilah with a smile “that will drive him crazy! He hates to lose!”

“oi! I’m not a bad loser” Gabe declared as he rejoined us.

“I couldn’t help but laugh “nah course not Gabe, you just throw a tantrum eh? Though to be fair you don’t lose often…”

“I know boss” he looked at me gingerly.

SHE f*****g GOT ME GOOD, TRICKED ME A FEW TIMES…he linked me.

haha, wait, was he admitting he hadn’t taken it easy on her?! And he actually genuinely lost to her because she outwitted him?! Go Lilah!! The girl done good!

HAHA… I link back.

“You a good little fighter chica” Gabe said giving Lilah a hug. She smiled up at him.

“what do you expect when she is the daughter of a Beta and her mama is the daughter of two warriors?!” Indie exclaims with a grin.

All of us other than Gabe begin to laugh, he has definitely been set up…though it made perfect sense now, a Beta would always be a strong fighter so his children would be taught the same skills, whether they were boys or girls usually, and for her Mum to be a child of two warriors I imagine training must have strict and almost religious for her growing up, so likely she too passed that on to Lilah growing up.

So there was no shock at all she was a strong fighter and was able to outwit a big strong warrior like Gabe like she had, I imagine she had trained against warriors his size regularly too so it wouldn’t have intimidated her in the slightest, it all made sense now her lack of concern when I searched her face for a reaction earlier when Indie suggested the fight…

I had been desperate to replace out if she wanted me to stop the fight but she had given nothing away, now I knew why, its because she was a lot stronger and more confident in fighting and defending herself than I realised…. A tough little she-wolf on the battle field it would seem….a beautiful one too……who would have known……

“What?! You tricked me! You little!” Gabe grabbed Lilah by the waist, throwing her over his shoulder and ran off down the field with her, she screamed for help, laughing as she went. Her laughter was a sound that automatically made me smile, her and Gabe seemed to get on so well, and he had a natural ability to make her laugh….

so why did it bother me……. Shake it off d**k head…. You aren’t going there again….I tell myself…been there done that, nearly lost him in the process…..plus I can hear my friends laughing as they watch Gabe run round the field with Lilah slung casually over his shoulder, its good she enjoys herself here….I think to myself as I see Gabe looping back round to run back toward us.

“You fancy a bbq this afternoon at the lake man?” Dan suggested to me as Gabe pretty much dropped Lilah gently at my feet.

“oohh can you swim up there babe?” Indie looked to Dan, he grinned, clearly liking the idea of his mate in a swimsuit. He nodded.

“You up for a bbq and swimming with this crazy lot this afternoon sweet? Or you need to get back?” I ask Lilah helping her up from where Gabe had dropped her by my feet.

“Lilah will be coming” Indie answers for her.

“oh, looks like I am coming” she shyly smiles at me.

We all begin to walk toward the pack house, with plans of what we need to take to the lake, which is about half an hour drive away. I can hear the girls talking about the things they can wear, I assume Lilah will once again be borrowing some of Indie’s clothes, and a swimsuit…oooh Lilah in a swimsuit…. Mmmmmm….

“we meeting back here in half hour yeah?” Jake interrupts my thoughts before they are able to get out of hand. Which is probably for the better, I need to stop thinking of her like that!

“Lilah come with me” Indie says, I’ll sort you something to wear and a bikini. oooh a bikini…….this could be fun…………
