What to Fight For

The day had dragged by much to slow. The night before, Jay had found himself curled back up on Nova's comforter trying to use the stale scent of her pillow to comfort him and Fang. It hadn't worked as well as the night before and now as the sun was once more disappearing past the horizon he felt weariness pulling at his arms.

Jay had spent the whole day with his father and everyone else planning for this evening. He knew he was going to face Alpha Drake and with the extended separation from his mate, both he and Fang felt weak. Alpha Drake would be at his strongest, especially with it being the night after a full moon. Normally, the full moon would've strengthened Jay as well but instead, it had almost left him weaker.
