Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

After Amie’s birthday, things changed between us. For the better if you ask me. The tension that had been smouldering

under the surface had been released and it felt like a relief. Our deal had me frustrated at times, but it did give me a

timeframe for when I would finally get what I had longed for. I understood her fear, she had been let down by someone

she trusted, someone who would be the one person she should have been able to rely on. But I had no doubt how all of

this would end. No matter what happened during the games, when we got back home I would make her my Luna. Now I

knew she felt the same for me as I did for her and with that, I knew the future was with her. I had also stopped holding

back when it came to social touching. When we interacted on a day to day basis I let myself place a hand on her

shoulder, or place my hand on her back when we were walking. Amie did the same. I had seen the looks my aunt was

giving us, the smile on her lips told me she approved.

It was almost a week after Amie’s birthday and I had asked the top tiers to meet in our meeting room. It was time for us

to choose who would go to the games. Amie was already sitting in her chair when I arrived. I smiled and walked up to

her. I bent down and placed a kiss on her cheek.

“Hello, beautiful,” I told her. Her hand went up and caressed my neck.

“Hi there. Having a good day?” she asked, I heard her smile in her voice.

“I am,” I told her and created a little space between us as I heard Sam and Medow come walking. I enjoyed our brief moments of intimacy. We took our seats at the table and Medow put Martina on the playmat we had set up. “Time to

decide who will be going to the games,” I told them and they all nodded. “We have five places to fill for the game and we are allowed another ten people for support staff. Let’s make sure we get the best of the best. The floor is open.”

“You and Amie are the obvious choices for participants in the game,” Sam said and Medow nodded.

“As are you, Sam,” Amie added.

“I don’t know,” Sam said and looked at Medow. We all knew Medow was not a top candidate for the games. She had a

lot of good qualities and I knew we were lucky to have her in our top tier, but her strengths were not relevant to the

games.

“Medow, it would be good to have you as part of our staff,” I said. She smiled at me and then glanced down at her

daughter.

“Thank you, Alpha. But I don’t think I will join this year. Martina is too young. I don’t want to bring her to a place with so

many unknown wolves and I can’t leave her here for a month. But my mate will be going,” she told us. Her reasoning was

good, I thought.

“Baby,” Sam objected.

“No, sweety. You need to go. You have trained hard for this. You are the pack’s best warrior and one of us needs to bring

glory to the family name,” she told him with a smile.

“But it’s for a month. I will surely die being separated from you and the little one for that long,” he complained.

“I think you will survive.”

“Fine,” Sam surrendered.

“Good,” I said and put his name down.

“I’m thinking of Jake and Ramses as the final two for the game. Jake has worked hard, he is brilliant and he has even made progress on the physical parts. Ramses has been with us for a year and he is dedicated to the pack. His life as a

lone wolf gives him a good rounded skill set,” Amie said. I felt a brief pang of jealousy towards Ramses. He and Amie had

a lot in common. But it went away just as quickly. I nodded. They were both good choices.

“Any other suggestions?” I asked. There were none and I was happy with the group we had put together. We turned our

attention to the support staff. The games weren’t just about the games, even if it was the focus. The games were spread

out during four weeks. In between them there were council meetings, social gatherings, panel discussions and time for

packs to sit down and talk. It meant we needed a diverse group of pack members to take with us. Healers, in case of

injuries, wolves that could feed us, we decided to bring the pack lawyer and two of our elders. I sent out mindlinks to the

ones chosen who were not in the room. I asked them to come by the meeting room spread out over the day. We talked
