CHAPTER TWO

I stared at him as he transformed quickly into his wolf and howled at me. I wasn't the slightest bit afraid. 

I was like a grain of Earth compared to his strength. I should never have signed up to this right from the very beginning, I am such a fool to have done that.

 Then a strange thought crossed my mind making me Shiver hard with the fight. "You just shifted a few moons ago, do you think that you will be able to defeat such a powerful wolf?" Random thoughts crossed my mind.

"Don't worry Aurora, I know that you are scared, just give me total control and I will take over everything." My wolf said to me.

 When it was time for the duel, I shifted slowly to my wolf. My wolf was a big white wolf with a dark star sign at the center of its head.

 He advanced angrily towards me and tried to tear me apart with his Sharp claws and he tore a Deadly punch at me.

My nose was bleeding now as I continued to stare Into his eyes, with streams rising gradually from it.

My heart was beating hard against my chest as though it was going to burst Through and I knew for sure that I was going to die.

He tore his claws Through my skin and I yelled out in pain and attempted to run away but he jumped in front of me and he stopped me. 

"Running away already? You are such a fool aren't you?" He thundered and a large lump went down my spine while a stone went down a rocky tunnel.

He walked slowly towards me and I was already way too weak now. Then I heard a strange voice in my head.

The voices in the hall seemed to flood out from my head and it seemed as though I could see my father right in front of me.

"Aurora, you were destined to be the Alpha Queen, don't let anyone take what is rightfully yours away from you." He returned to me.

I drew a really deep breath. I was the Alpha Queen, strong and fierce and I wasn't going to be intimidated by anyone that still lives on the surface of the earth.

 I tore a slap at him with my paws making him stare at me with surprise at such a powerful fit.

 Seeing that he was lost, I advanced angrily towards him, pouncing my wolf legs on the floor and I shot a claw at him. He was already shivering with fear. And I tore him apart slowly.

When I was done, I transformed back to my human form, gasping hard for breath.

 Looked look at the dead wolf and I grinned angrily.

"That is exactly what I am going to do to whoever tries to oppose my reign in this pack," I growled.

That was over four years ago now and I had fully gained my ground as the Alpha Queen of the pack. Crushing all my opposition and any pack that tried to threaten the sovereignty of my pack and we were gradually moving towards forming an empire.

 But there was nothing that still made my anger rise so bad that I had to clutch my hands to control my Rising anger and that was the murder of my Father.

Anger mixed with the sorrows of past memories. I drew a really deep breath and heaved a sad sigh that said more than a lot.

 I had sent out spies to various packs to gather information about who could be able to make that unique poison used for my dead but there had been no meaningful results.

"Can't wait to get a hold of those that were behind my father's, I am going to crush them with my bare hands," I growled.

 I came down from the bed and got into my queen robe to attend to some pack issue when a pack servant came before me with a bow shivering hard with fear.

"Good day Alpha Aurora." He greeted me quickly but I only shot a deadly frown at him. "And what do you want?" I inquired briefly, still staring right into his eyes.

"You got an official letter." He returned quickly. I picked up the letter from his hands and I read through it.

 Immediately I was done reading it, I almost Burst out into laughter. 

"That's not all." The guard replied and handed another to me and immediately I read through it, my face twisted with so much outrage.

 It was an invitation from the Alpha of the dead moon pack to join their so-called yearly Alpha duel to determine the strongest Alpha of the pack.

 He was said to be the only Alpha more powerful than me. And I had avoided his path and be had also done likewise until this morning 

I had never attended it since I became the Alpha of the pack because no other Alpha has the guts to invite me for such a stupid event except the Alpha of the dead on the pack of course.

My face twisted with hate and anger. "What about disgracing yourself before everyone presents?" I thought in my head as a dark smile hovered on my face.

I looked at the servant that was standing right beside me and my face twisted with hate and anger. "Get the carriage ready, I have someone to deal with," I announced.

"Okay, Alpha Aurora." He returned and began to walk away briskly. A few minutes later, he came over to Me to inform me that the carriage was ready already.

 I went over to the carriage slowly and got into it while the rider went off. My heart was pounding against my chest and when we got There. I came down from the carriage and walked over to the venue.

Though I didn't know him that much, I have heard a lot about him. He was boastful and who went through any length to get what he wanted. And I was also told that he was dubious.

Even without seeing him, I already hated him and I had always prayed for a day that I was going to disgrace him in the presence of everyone.

 The sight that I met made my face twist with hate and anger and I felt like tearing him apart.

"I told all of you that she will never come, she is just another weakling. Who makes her wolf an Alpha in the first place?" He blotted out. 

 I could feel my anger rising so bad that I had to clutch my hands to control my rising anger and I felt like tearing them apart with my bare hands.

 

I hate prideful slots like him so much. They were better dead than alive and I was going to get him down to where he belongs soon enough.

 Immediately set my feet in the arena, and the whole place became as silent as a graveyard. All the other Alphas were afraid of me except this fool.

 He turned around slowly knowing fully well that someone was behind him and immediately our eyes met, my face squeezed with anger.

"So you decided to come, she-Alpha." He mocked. But I deliberately ignored his mockery.

"Can you repeat what you just said again?" I growled at him with so much hate and anger in my voice.

"I already won but are you ready to duel with me?" He shot at me and my face squeezed with anger. I had never backed off from a fight before and I was certainly not going to do that, not even in the nearest future.

"Pray you don't lose," I growled at him. "Hope you know the rules right?" He inquired.

"Do you even know the Alpha that you want to fight with?" He inquired.

"At least, I have heard enough of you and your boast, what else do I really have to know?" I returned quickly.

"The fight that I am the greatest Alphas of all time?"

"Spare me that crap." I returned to him.

But no matter how hard I tried to act strong, I could still feel that cold Grip of fear in the inside of me. I could feel my heart beating.  But why was I so afraid? I was going to defeat him just like I defeated my other enemies.

"And what crazy rule is that?" "You can't shift." He returned.

I gave the word a second thought. But I wasn't going to back out from a fight for anything. Before I could say another word, he launched at me and I also lost my balance but I was able to hold him off.

"Cheat." I shot a deadly glare at him with our hands clipped. But then, I began to perceive an odd scent that I found hard to concentrate on the fight.

The scent was so pleasant that I kept sniffing and I was lost in the act.

For the first time, I stared into his eyes and my heart almost jumped out from my chest. He had such a handsome face and the perfect jawline. 

I shifted my eyes away almost immediately. I didn't care about him and I could never be attracted to an Alpha and Certainly not him.

I was only here to make a mess out of his life.

Then, something really strange happened.

"Mate! Mate!" My wolf kept yelling and I stared at him shocked. "Mate!" I yelled in my head confused.

 I was totally confused. How could it be that he was my mate. Why would the fool Goddess mate me to such a fool?

I could feel my heart creeping Through my spine. No doubt I had always wanted a mate, but I wanted someone that I could control, not any possessive Werewolf and certainly not an Alpha of any pack. That would mean that I will have to forfeit my pack and that would never happen.

But as much as I hated him, I could feel the mate bond strong inside me. "How could I be mated to my Rival?" I thought in my head and he didn't even seem to notice the fact we were mates.

"Mate! Mate;" my wolf kept screaming inside of me while I continued to glare at him.

My lips were Shivering hard, trying to spit out the word mate from my mouth but I was able to restrain myself. I wasn't going to be the one to let out the word  from my mouth.

Then, I noticed that he was also sniffing and spat out the word from his mouth. "Mate!" He shot out the word from his mouth with a confused look on his face.

"Mate?" I growled back in a way of questioning and I gasped
