9 Home Sweet Home or Pack From Hell (9)

The flight home was uneventful. The Beta reported the pack ran smoothly while we were gone. It sounded like everything was going good.

Our first week as Alpha and Luno I had to plan his Luno marking ceremony. It wouldn't be to big of a party. I was thinking a cookout as we had just missed the 4th of July celebration.

I wanted to make it manly. Beer, soda, steak, hamburgers, hotdogs, Mexican street corn, potato salad, deviled eggs, cole slaw, baked beans, chips, baked potatoes, sweet potatoes baked, and for dessert chocolate cake, apple pie, maybe even lemon ice cream.

I sent out invitations, bought decorations, and food. The Beta was going to run the grill. The Beta's wife, she was my Beta 2, was going to work on everything else. I was extremely impressed by how they stepped up for me.

The night of the ceremony I was a little nervous. I spoke to Michael about my reservations but he calmed me as usual. He wasn't nervous at all. When everyone had been greeted I stepped up to the platform.

"Hello everyone, I am your Alpha Subrina Evans Brown. If the Alpha isn't mated she or he will pick a Luna or Luno. Since I am married to this wonderful Were I pick him for my Luno. He is strong, wise, and empathetic. He will be a worthy leader when I am pregnant with our pup. He will be my equal and if he tells you an order it shall not be questioned.", I say loudly.

Then I reach my hand for Michael to join me. I open his collar to expose his mate mark, the Luno marking would go beside it. I lick his mark, then bite beside it. He was officially the Luno of the Bear Clan Pack. I howl, he howls and the pack howls.

I turn back to the pack. "The last part of the official Alpha take over is to agree to challengers. If you think you can run the pack better than I can, if you feel stronger than I am, or if you feel like you should be Alpha, please tell the Beta. He will keep a list and in 2 weeks we will hold our Lupo Finale for Alpha. Also, you may want to replace the Luno, that will also take place at this time. The fight is to the death so make sure you are willing to die for this purpose. Thank you and enjoy the food. Goodnight!", I make sure the seriousness is in my voice.

Waiting two weeks didn't seem to be a big deal. We had so many other things to do. I registered for college. Michael opened his own medical practice. I had an appointment with our pack gynecologist. Michael had to see his dad off to the airport. Life wasn't about fighting.

The night before the Lupo Finale I ask the Beta if we have anyone wanting to fight. He reports 5 men challenged me and another 6 challenge Michael. We would be fighting with 30 minutes rest between fights. July was a busy month. I had started the plans for a pup training camp, I had started a teen center as well.

Michael would be fighting first. He stepped into the ring. The ring was like a stage built in the training center. It had three ropes. I announced, "As you know this fight is traditionally to the death. Our Luno has graciously decided that you may tap out. He will allow you to live. If you are stubborn then you will die. Fight one...1...2...3...START!".

Michael just punched the first guy and he was knocked out cold. He was carried off on a stretcher. After 30 minutes round 2. This guy danced all over the ring, he tried several times to hit Michael but missed every single time. Finally Michael gave him the right hook as well. Same with other opponents. The last guy to enter the ring looked me up and down, he twitched his tongue at me. Michael was furious. This fight lasted for over an hour. The were both very strong. The hits came fast and blood was everywhere. Michael had him pinned down, he could easily kill him now. He refused to tap out. Stubborn jackass deserves to die but I know Michael won't kill him. He chokes him until he passes out.

I announced, "Our Luno stands as placed". Everyone started to howl. Now my turn to fight. I wondered how a guy would feel fighting a girl. Michael looked worried but he trusted me. He announced, "As your offical Luno I will call the Alpha fights. This is to the death! No tap out as you have challenged our authority."

"Fight one...1...2...3...START!", Michael's voice boomed. The fight was hard. I was hit multiple times but I never faltered. I used my claw to slit his throat. "The winner is Alpha Bri", Michael sounded like he was worried. He carried me over to my tent. The pack doctor was waiting. I checked out great. I rested for my next match.

This went on for 4 fights. I would snap a neck, slit a throat, or barely win each time. The last fight was my strongest opponent. As soon as start was called he lunged at me switching to his wolf. I let Zafiro go. She was deadly. She fought hard. Biting, clawing and pinning him. He would always get out of her hold.

He was huge, strong and very talented in the fight. She was getting tired I could see it. I could feel it. She jumped on his back, reaching to slit his throat. He run backwards into a tree knocking the air from her lungs. He changed back into his human form. He picked me up by my throat I tried to get Zafiro to wake up. "You have to wake up, you have to finish!", I screamed at her in our mind link. He had my limp body in his hand. Grinning as he showed he had me. Just before he snapped my neck, Zafiro woke, she clawed his throat ripping it nearly out. He dropped me, she lunged at him ripping his throat out. I switched back to my human form. Michael announced, "Your Alpha remains to be Subrina Evans Brown!".

Everyone howls except for me. I'm bruised, battered and bloody. I just want a shower and rest. I've killed 5 people. I'm sad that the pack didn't trust me to do the job. I'm thankful that I was taught to fight by the best Dad ever. I slowly make my way home. Michael finished the Lupo Finale before returning home. I took a shower and fell into bed naked. I felt his body against mine. He was comfortable but he was like home to me.

I was glad to have it over. Now we could build this pack. I worked hard to build the strength of the pack. I tried to make life better for everyone. I attended every meeting. I went to other pack meetings to learn more. I trained hard. I worked side by side with Michael and my Dad. My Beta was working hard as well. The delta, the omega, the sentry everyone had a job to focus on. We all were focused on pack business. I didn't notice that I had lost weight. I didn't notice that my body was changing. None of us noticed until I passed out.
