“It seems some of you think me being your trainer is a joke, or that my personal life somehow has anything to do with you all,” I said coldly, glaring at the few men who had snickered along with Owen. “I’ll show you exactly how I got this position.”
Owen and I circled each other. I really wanted to knock that cocky smirk off his face. I motioned for him to come at me, my eyes flashing. Before he had even made two steps towards me, I spun around, slamming my palm flat in his chest. He staggered back, startled.
“What the… you said to-”
“Come at me, and you did, just too damn slow,” I said, aiming hit after hit.
The Blood Moon Pack women were not weak. We would never be weak, and we would never let anyone think so – a legacy that I promised would continue no matter what.
“This pack stands for so much more than you think. Alpha Elijah and Luna Scarlett took this pack to new heights. They have a reputation that is known throughout the entire country. Yet there are people like you who mock that reputation!” I said, spinning around and kicking him in the ribs. I felt something crack. The jarring pain of the impact sent a shooting spasm up my knee, but right then, I didn’t care about the pain. “Alpha Elijah has always stood for respecting others and treating everyone equally, yet we are still getting assholes like youtarnishing our pack’s reputation.”
I blocked his every attack. I got this position through my hard work. There was no way someone like Owen could defeat me, and with each hit of mine that connected, he was getting angrier and more frustrated, making his attacks sloppier.
“You want me to show you how I got this position?” I asked as he grabbed my top. That was something everyone went for.
I slipped out of it in a flash; the perks of oversized tops, I guess. I wrapped it around his hands, yanking him forward and aiming a kick to the side of his head. Spinning around, I kicked him in the back, wrapping my legs around his neck just as I slammed him face forward into the ground. Everyone flinched, knowing that if I didn’t break his fall with my legs, he would have had his neck broken.
“This is how I got my position, proving that I’m capable,” I said coldly. “I have tolerated enough crap from everyone. From here on out, if I get any attitude or disrespect, you will be punished! Now, I want everyone to run thirty laps around the entire perimeter of the pack grounds! As for you…” I crouched down next to Owen, who spat some blood out as he tried to get to his feet. “Fifty laps,” I finished.
“I…”
“Now,” I said icily.
He had a few broken bones, but they’d heal, just like my damn knee. Everyone was silent, but I could see a few smirks on some faces as they looked at Owen. I pulled my hair tie out, as half my hair had come out, and was retying it when Zack came over.
“Everything okay...?” He trailed off, seeing the team running off.
“Taylor called you?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah…”
“Hmm, and you came.”
“He said you were being given a hard time,” Zack said, running his fingers through his hair.
“And why do you care?” I retorted. He raised an eyebrow.
“Have I done something to upset you?”
“Yes,” I hissed, looking around.
You’re hurting Taylor!I added through the link. He sighed, looking away.
You don’t understand, Raven.
Then make me understand!I cried back in frustration.
Don’t get into my business,he growled.
Then stop hurting one of the sweetest men I have ever come across!
Me accepting him would hurt him way fucking more!
Oh, I highly doubt that!I shouted back, frustrated.
It sure would... because I’ve been in a fucking relationship with his brother’s mate!Zack snapped, his eyes blazing grey.
