Reopend Scars chapter-16- so you are 18

So you’re 18.

“happy birthday princess.” says a velvet voice.

“Victor, how did you get past the bozos?”

“all I had to was walk in.”

“hump. Some body guards.”

“how are you this morning.”

“well I’m 18. Today is going to be hell. And I’m still in severe pain.”

“why do you say today is going to be hell, I mean it’s your birthday.”

“well my aunt will force me fight again today even though I’m in severe pain now. And then get ready to participate in this stupid ceremony where all the alpha males of all the packs attending this stupid torture fight over me, then I will be forced to marry into their pack.”

“well I love to fight.”

“Tonight won’t be for fun and games.”

“what are you saying?”

“tonight these guys will be fighting until the death. I mean I was up against you yesterday. I’m scared. You see I would rather be miserable for the rest of my cursed life then watch you and my boyfriend die. I can’t handle that.”

“timber. Are you even sure he will show up tonight?”

“I haven‘t got a doubt in my mind. Get off my bed go sit in that chair.”

“why?”

“Selene is on her way over and it’ll look bad.”

Without another word Victor rises and sits in the chair next to the fireplace. Just as Selene walks in.

“happy birthday.” Fang says with a loving look washing over his face.

“I’d rather die than participate in this shit.”

“we know. Well stop complaining and get dressed you have another match to get warmed up.” Selene says coldly.

“yes Madame.”

“as of today I will no longer be your Madame. My you have grown up so fast.” Selene says.

They leave and she gets dressed in a skin tight leather long sleeve shirt, blood crimson red corset with black silk strings, and tight black leather pants, lace up combat boots with a 3” heal. As she goes to walk out Victor takes her hand and entwines her arm with his and walks her to a spot at the lake where a rock juts upward from the earth and makes a “platform”. as she gets to the top she can see all of the males practicing for tonight’s fight and party. She shivers at the thought that a lot of them might die tonight.

“are you ready?” Victor asks

“no, not really I think all this is stupid.”

“well blame your great-great grandparents.”

“oh believe me I do.”

“get ready to fight.” jackal barks

Timber lets out a small growl. Well victor and timber start fighting then all of a sudden timber gets angry and phases. victor stops astonished.

“phase! The fight is still on!” jackal commands

“I don’t want to kill her!”

“trust me if you don’t phase soon she’ll kill you. I’ve seen it happen! she won’t think twice about it so phase now!”

Victor phases just in time to block timber from lunging at his neck. He counters every move. The fight begins to look like a dance. She jumps on his back and grabs on to his throat. He manages to get her on her back but she still has a death grip on him. Selene walks up to see the two wolves fighting.

“why are they phased?”

“timber phased first and well we both know what happens when she phases.”

“yes and I guess the pull of the night has a hand in the mix also.”

“I suppose you are right.”

“fang. I want you to fight tonight.”

“madam why?”

“you are perfect, I trust you, I know you’ll protect her and I want either Victor or you to win. And I know how you feel towards her.”

“Yes Madame.”

Victor manages to get timber calmed down and let go. She phases back.

“sorry victor I don’t know what happened…I mean this urge was so strong….like all I wanted was to phase…all that mattered is that I phased…I don‘t know what came over me… I mean yesterday I was just my wolf taking over and making sure that I lived…but today…”

“well I’m glad that I was able to control myself enough not to kill you.”

“that’s more control than I had.”

“well it’s your 18^th birthday, and it’s a full moon tonight, both of those things have great effect on such a pure wolf as you.”

“I still should have had more self control, I mean no matter how much I hate it I am princess wolf. It’s expected of me.”

“its expected of me to win tonight.”

“no offence but I really hope that Gerard makes here in time.”

“you love him?”

“well yeah.”

“are you sure he loves you?”

“WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?”

“I don’t know…….”

“Are I you jealous?”

“no.”

She lets out a sigh. “just admit it, this happens all the time.”

“no I just wanted to have a fair fight. you know.”

“humph.”

“Juliana get ready for the party tonight.” say Selene

“more of like a blood bath.” timber mumbles under her breath.

“don’t worry I’ll survive.” Victor whispers in her ear as he walks past.
