I raised my voice toward the league president. “Sir! I’m a registered participant. May I enter?”
Everyone turned to look at me, and I slipped free from the pack members surrounding me.
Just as I was about to step into the field, Blake suddenly appeared in front of me and blocked me. “You’re not going in! I already had Wendy inform the president that you’re unwell and can’t compete!”
Those words hit me like a brick to the head I stared at him in disbelief. “Who gave you the right to decide that for me? I earned my spot!”
His eyes were full of scorn. I’m your mate. I’m this pack’s Alpha! You know you’re not cut out for this!
“You used my name to climb the ladder and still dare to act like you earned it. And now you even broke our bond on your own? Fine, if that’s how it is, I don’t owe you anything either. Get the hell out of the arena!”
The pack members stepped forward to calm me down
*Clara, Alpha Blake is just looking out for your safety.”
“You’re not like Wendy. She’s the Luna, and she has to be here
Their words stung as I listened to them.
Right then, Wendy stepped out from the crowd. “Don’t worry, everyone. I’ve already told the league that Clara’s not feeling well and won’t be competing.
“Clara, we’re all just thinking of your safety. You should be thanking everyone for their concern.”
I gave a faint smile and nodded. “Thanks, everyone, for your concern.”
Wendy lit up with what she thought was a gentle smile. “There you go. Just relax and watch from the sidelines. Don’t make the others worry about you again.”
I nodded, playing along
As I walked away, Blake muttered behind me with disdain, “Clara’s just trying to get my attention. Don’t bother with her. I’ll deal with her after I’m done here.”
Good luck with that
Lalready knew he would try to keep me out of the competition. secretly entered the league wide selection process
So, back when the pack was holding their selections, I also
I walked straight up to the president with my official entry pass in hand.
