Today was my second day here in my old pack.
The thing I loved the most here was
The soft mattress
I leterally slept like a baby on it
Sleeping on those hard grounds made me foget what the comfort of a bed felt like.
So here I was laying on the bed
Surrounded by my hug buddies aka my pillows
Looking at the ceiling deciding what to do today.
The Alpha passed a stay order on me so I had no choice but to stay here.
But I will only listen to his order untill my wounds recover.
On getting recovered I will break all his orders and will leave like a free bird breaking through it's cage.
So for today I decided to visit my favourite place
After getting ready I walked down the stairs to see some pack members having breakfast
There were just 20 members sitting at the table whereas the pack consisted of nearly 1500 members.
After all ,this was the strongest pack in the world with the largest area , highest population and top best fighters.
It was named the Royal blood Moonlight pack after the Royal kings who were the Alphas of this pack.
They had a lot of enemies because of the the power and position they had but no one was able to overthrow the monarchy .
This could be done by defeating the King of warewolfes which was unheard of.
When I decended the stairs their gazes turned towards me and they started whispering to each other.
They must be thinking that I am a new member here .
The head seat was empty
I recognised some of the faces as they were in my class .
Some of them were my bullies back then.
I decided to ignore them and left the room
I don't think they will recognise me
I have changed alot in these 5 years
My body has changed from plumpy to toned
My hair has changed from black to light brown because of damaging by staying in sunlight for long
My skin colour has changed because of the tanning.
In total I was a completely different person now.
The place I went to visit was a cave
It was a secret cave which was hidden by the bougainvillia plant covering it's entrance.
This was my hideout from all the sorrows and agonies.
I used to come here to calm myself when things went overboard.
It was still the same.
Hideous and dark
I touched the rocks inside it.
I could still sense the negativity in this place because of the number of times I cried, screamed and sobbed in here.
I wish I was as strong then as I am now
But again we learn from our mistakes
And they make us what we are today
With a last look at this place I made my way towards the pack training grounds
The grounds was an open area in the middle of the territory where everyone from the age of 15 trained
The training was hardcore starting from jogging, squats,push ups and ending at hand to hand combat.
In the middle of it a circle was drawn inside which fights were taking place.
The fighters were fighting in human form but I had to admit that they had perfected it.
A fight was going on in the middle and everyone gathered around them.
Cheering them
I went further to see
The figure I saw fighting was the perfect girl of our pack .
Jane
She was beauty with brains
Her striking green eyes were rarest of rare and
Her fighting skills were unbeatable
By nature she was kind, sweet and loving and whenever people used to bully me she was the only one who tried to stop them.
She rarely lost her temper but whenever she did the receiver of her wrath begged for mercy
She was the perfect mate anyone could wish for unlike me
Aaron was friends with her and they used to get along well I wonder if they were still friends or more than that.
She won the fight and Aaron patted her on her back
She turned around and said something in his ear and they both laughed
I was never able to make him smile the only look I ever saw on his face on seeing me was a cold stare
Just like the one he is giving me right now
His laughter died on seeing me and that serious look was back
Jane could make him laugh
She could understand him
And she was fit to be the luna
And I wasen't surprised when I heard few pack members next to me talking about how perfect they looked together.
I could still feel his glare on me but I decided to not look into his eyes.
I still remember my first fight here
It was the first time he felt ashamed of having me as his mate
It was the first time I really understood what rejection meant.
And it was the first time I experienced mind numbing and bone breaking pain.
FLASHBACK
Today was the first time we were going to train and I was so excited.
When I came to know that unlike others I didn't shift I started training my human form to compete with others
I used to go and train in the woods at night when everyone was asleep.
And today was the day when I will show them that I am not as week as they think.
In human form only I will show them that I am no less than them.
After our physical exercise session it was time for the ring fight
In this wolves fight each other till one of them falls out of the ring or surrenders.
Our future Alpha was standing near the ring assessing the skills of each fighter and after each fight he appreciated or reprimanded the fighters.
Few days back I came to know that our next Alpha was my mate.
He wanted to reject me but I somehow managed to convince him to give me a chance and today was the perfect opportunity to show him that I was not weak.
My name was called and I went inside the ring ready to fight
My opponent was a boy from my class who bullied me.
The bell rang for the fight
He continued to smirk at me .
"This should be easy"
He said mockingly.
He attacked me first but I managed to dodge him.
I tried throwing a punch at him but he grabbed my fist in his hand.
Instead of letting go he started crushing it and I could feel the bones of my hand break.
I cried in pain and people around us started laughing
He continued to smile and before I could comprehend his next move,he twisted my entire arm behind my back and pushed me down.
Making my face to hit the ground and blood flowed out of my mouth.
I never felt so much pain before.
My hand was already broken and my arm was next.
He didn't show mercy instead he placed his leg on my back and started pulling my arm in a very painfull angle.
I scremed in pain but my cries were falling on deaf ears
I managed to open my eyes to see some people looking at me with pity and others with amusement.
Aaron's shoes could be seen in front of me
I wanted him to encourage me
To look at me and tell me that I can do it
But instead he turned his back on me
My scream intensified when the boy holding my arm twisted it futher and asked me to surrender
But I refused
I just continued to look at his retreating steps hoping him to stop and turn around to look at me just for once.
But he never did
Next I heard a sound of something breaking enter my ears and I felt so much pain that my body drifted into unconsciousness.
FLASHBACK OVER
Today was just like that day
The same cheering and excitement in people
The same arena
The same rules
The same game
The only thing that has changed was time and the player
I was no longer was I a scared human
I was a deadly hunter now.
"All the wolves stand in lines for your next battle!" The gamma ordered
And people around me started dispersing and standing in lines.
Should I fight?
Even though I am recovering
Still I have this adrealine rush in me asking me to go and have some fun
With time and circumstances all my passions have died except one
And that was fighting
So without thinking further I went and stood in a line
I really wanted to tell them that the girl you bullied back then was back to give you the taste of your own medicine.
But again I stopped myself
I didn't wanted to go against the Alpha on this.
Not because I couldn't but because I didn't wanted them to look at me with hate .
This idea of being a new person was better.
"Anyone who dosen't feel like fighting today can step out and rest"
Aaron said
People around me started whispering
"Alpha has never said something like that before!he always makes us fight beyond our breaking point!Is he serious or is this just a test?"
A girl in front of me whisperd to another
"I think he is serious !Maybe he is in a good mood today!"
The other replied
But I knew better
He was indirectly asking me
He wanted me to back off but I refused
I knew he wouldn't make a scene here
No one left afraid of his intentions
I heard his voice in my head
"Go back to your room!"
I looked at him and he was already staring at me with a deadly look
I gave him a smirk and ignored him
"Aleka leave!! Right now!!
I refused to look at him and waited for my turn which was next
"Aleka i'll throw you back in the dungeons if you do not listen to me!
Step back right now!
That's an order!!"
I looked into his eyes and replied in my mind
"You didn't seem to care for all these years and you shouldn't even care now.
I don't take orders from anyone Alpha!"
"Next"
The gamma said
And I went inside the circle
Fate plays a very fair game
I must admit this today
Because my opponent was none other than the same boy who defeated me here at the same place 5 years back
He still had that smirk on his face
And today i'll be more than happy to rub it off from his face
I smiled on seeing him and placed my hands inside my track pant's pockets
The fight was going to start in next 3 seconds and everyone was staring at my hands in my pockets
Is she going to fight like this?
Is she insane!
Jake will beat her to pulp today!
Does she have a death wish!
Their worries were normal but they didn't knew that I was not normal.
I was exceptional

The bell rang and Jake tried to attack me with a punch directed to my face.
I dodged him effortlessly stepping to my left
He got agitated and tried to side kick me but again I took a step back and his kicked empty air
People started cheering him
Encouraging him to attack me
I was in defence position
He tried attacking me again and again but always I predicted his move and dodged him
15 minutes passed
And he was not able to even touch me.
He look tired and his smirk changed to a thin line of anger
He had a poor temper and this will make him loose today
I don't think I need to attack him
He will himself dig his own grave
One wrong move and he looses
I was standing in the middle of the circle
He started growling at me and changed into his wolf state
One of the rules of the game said that changing into wolf form was not allowed.
The gamma whistled to signal that he lost as he broke the rule
But he didn't stop.
His wolf was so angry that it wanted to kill me
Before anyone could stop him he lunged at me ready to tear my head off.
People around me screamed and Aaron called my name loudly in my mind
When he was few metres away I changed my position and ducked down going under him.
I kicked him at his stomach and he went flying towards the tree behind me.
My kick was a normal kick
It had as much power as a human kick could have.
But in fighting power dosen't matter much
I just used his own energy against him
I just changed the direction of his speed and power from me to the tree behind me.
In short I used only 5% power but 95% skill.
Sound of a tree falling could be heard accompanied by an agonising growl of pain
I stood up with my hands still in my pockets
Everyone was flabbergasted
Their mouths were open in shock and they were staring at the scene behind me.
I turned my neck to see that that tree on which he hit had fallen
And he was lying on it.
Unconscious
Aaron was staring at me not expecting me to do something of that sort
I passed him a smile.
Everyone was staring at me
But today their stares were not of accusation ,pity or disgust but that of adoration,fear and respect.
And it really really felt good
With long confident steps
I made my way out of the arena
with head held high and a genuine smile on my face
Just like a boss.
