Megan's POV
I had never seen Lucy dressed in anything so exposing. The way the boys were gazing at her was nasty, and it nearly exposed everything. She came up and gave Alpha Jason a wink. That infuriated my wolf, who became enraged.
OK, the guidelines. No significant harm, dismemberment, or death. When one concedes or is unable to continue battling, the match is over. He spoke. "The mode of combat is chosen by the aggressor. It is either a wolf or a person, but never both. He gave us each a quick check to make sure we were aware of the regulations. He left after we both nodded. I became alarmed as the others formed a circle around us because it made me think of them. The individuals I've slain and the wars I was compelled to participate in. Alpha was staring at me with worry in his eyes, but I ignored him. There is no time to consider it right now.
He questioned, "Form?" Her whole body began to tremble as she grinned. Her body grew longer and her bones fractured. Her whole body grew tan and grey fur. She has a lovely wolf, I must say. Despite being a pretty common hue, she was nevertheless stunning.
She stretched in the 'downward dog' stance in front of Alpha and waggled her fluffy tail. The stance was highly provocative, and I could almost feel my wolf's rage.
I gave Alpha his sweater after removing it. As Lucy gave me a look, I grinned to myself. I then started to freak out inside.
What if my wolf is disliked by them?
Suppose they despise me?
What if they begin striking me?
So, there's no turning back now. said my wolf.
My body was lengthening and my bones were breaking. My hair follicles were stretching and getting fur on them. My clothing was torn to shreds, which scattered to the ground. The transition no longer caused me great physical suffering, simply a dull discomfort. While some individuals began to whisper among themselves, I overheard several people softly gasp. If it was even possible, Lucy scowled at me even more fiercely. Under my heavy, puffy coat, I could feel Alpha Jason's stare making my skin quiver. I was so embarrassed.
Jason's POV
I could hear Megan's voice. I wanted to lock her in my room and have an extended conversation with her just from the sound of it. It was like a June breeze—soft and lovely.
When Lucy proposed that we should lean on each other's hips and mate, I felt violated. She was obscenely wagging her tail, almost like she was trying to grab my attention. She had little to no self-respect, and the way she simply flung herself at males was disgusting.
Then Megan gave me my sweater after taking it off. She picked up a little bit of my smell, which caused my wolf to howl in delight. Both my wolf and I liked how she smelled and how lovely she looked in my clothing. My jacket now had her scent, and she was making my wolf purr. She had a vanilla scent and a clean sea air. I wanted to wrap myself in a pile of blankets and bury my nose in her neck due to her alluring aroma.
She then transformed into the most beautiful wolf I've ever seen. She had a thick, clean coat that was fluffy. It seemed to be touchably soft, much like her hair, which I wanted to stroke with my fingertips. Though smaller than Lucy's wolf, she was still rather large. She was a highly uncommon hue, just as I was; she was snow-white pure. Her fur was completely black with no other hue. Her eyes had changed from gray to blue. Her wolf had barely a bit of blue in it, which made her eyes jump out. My wolf and I started to become tense and worried about finding our partner.
Megan's POV
While moving in a circle, Lucy and I exchanged growls and snarls. My body was stiff with expectation, and my hair rose, making me appear much larger than she was. Having never faced a highly trained wolf before, I was waiting for her to launch an assault first. She started to hunch down closer to the ground, indicating that she was about to leap or attack. As I prepared to respond to her, I lowered myself. She attempted to fasten her jaws into my shoulder as her rear legs leaped. I quickly sidestepped it and ripped her ear off with a forceful bite. She hissed and rubbed my stomach's side. I released her and growled at her. My wolf was content to see the woman's ear bleeding as it ran down her face. I scratched her face with my claws and her muzzle received serious cuts. She rushed me and began snatching at my face. To get me to give in, she grabbed my neck. My rear claws pushed into her tummy, and my front claws drove into her face. Her hold on my neck eased as she whimpered. I turned us over and glared at her.
I bit down hard on her shoulder and fiercely shook my head, further cutting into her skin. She twisted and turned in an attempt to shrug me off, but I was bigger and stronger than she was. Below my eye, her right paw slashed over the left side of my face. My face began to be covered with blood, which left my muzzle looking crimson. She pushed me off of her with her rear paws as I leaned back, away from her front ones. She leaped back on me as soon as I fell hard on my side. She bit her lower lip and clawed me all over. She tore pieces of my skin and fur off me while I sobbed, my blood splattering the snow. She attempted to slit my neck, but I jerked my head to one side, causing her face to fall into the snow. I used my might to turn her underneath me, pressing my belly into her back. I prevented her from moving by tightly clamping my jaw around the back of her neck and digging my front paws into her ribs. She struggled mightily to escape my grip, but all she did was make her misery worse. I pushed her harder with my larger, heavier body, forcing her to the ground with great force. She refused to give in, so I clenched my jaw even tighter. My mouth picked up the metallic taste of her blood, making me want to gag. She collapsed to the ground after losing the fight. She finally gave in, baring her neck and pulling her lip back to reveal her teeth.
Her neck and face fell to the ground as I let my jaw drop. I gave her a sign of "I could have killed you, but I didn't, you owe me." by licking her neck. After I left her, my body started to unwind. I was immediately worn out from the fight, and the blood loss was further depleting my energy. I trembled as I scanned the audience. The majority of them exhibited no expression, and their glazed-over eyes indicated that they were speaking in the pack link. Jason, the alpha, was beaming. "I accept Megan as a full member of the Mountain Ridge pack." As my mind began to expand as a result of the open-pack connection, I immediately blocked them from my thoughts. The unfavorable things they were thinking I didn't want to hear. They were undoubtedly frightened by me since I had defeated their greatest fighter, a woman. I got more exhausted, and my eyes felt heavy. All I wanted to do was clean and brush my fur before going to bed. I started to go away and towards the trees, since I wanted some privacy. Being hurt in public made me feel weak and exposed, which I detested.
I turned back when an enraged growl cut through the hum of the throng.
"Watch-" Someone attempted to warn me as someone tackled me to the ground. They nibbled the muscled region between my shoulders. I moaned in anguish as the wild tore enormous pieces of flesh from my back. I heard two more ferociously growls and the wolf was tackled off me. A dark brown, silver, and white wolf was pushing Lucy down near me. It smelt like Jackson.
Alpha Jason stood in front of me in a defensive position, his back muscles were teasing and rigid.
"I thought I trained you enough to know that you never attack someone from behind, Lucy." He shouted her name, his voice harsh and full of rage. "You out of all people should know how disrespectful that is, especially after you lost a challenge and that it was your Luna." His breathing was strained and I knew that his wolf was on the edge of breaking out. My heart began racing with panic. He was enraged, which meant he would beat me. "I'll take care of you later. You'll get the appropriate punishment. I was scared. Does it imply that he also strikes her? He looked at me. His body was still trembling, and his eyes were pitch-black with rage. My body started to tremble in fear as his eyes chilled me. He continued to come closer to me as I knelt low to the ground in submission. I'll get hurt by him. My wolf was trying to communicate with me, but I was blocking her out as well. My back was burning, I was having trouble breathing, and I could hear my heartbeat in my ears. I was trembling so violently that I thought my legs would give way. It was impolite and may have been seen as a challenge that I didn't look up at him. Due to a lack of oxygen, my vision became blurry. Even though I could feel his piercing eyes on me, I remained still. He was standing just a few feet away from me, and I could see that he was reaching out to touch me. I backed away from it and began to run. He shifted and ran after me, which I heard. He couldn't follow my scent because I zigzagged through the trees and they blurred in front of me. I entered the forest farther and farther. I lay down on a sunny patch of grass after making sure he couldn't find me. As I licked the blood out of my fur and groomed it, I felt the warmth of the sun through it. The worst parts of my back were out of reach. They continued to bleed steadily, but they would stop bleeding in a few hours.
I was lying there by myself, trembling with fear. He'll track me down. I was thinking when I fainted.
