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

The days after the second game passed by fast. We kept to ourselves most of the time. Finlay and Sam had met up with

the Cayote Hill pack to talk about a possible joint feast in spring. I had spent my days training, relaxing and strategizing

with Jake. We were both worried about the games, which would be more mentally challenging going forward. If the

physical games were this strategic, then how hard would the strategic games be? I was sitting on the sundeck out back,

reading. Sam plopped down in the chair next to me and took my book.

“Hey!” I objected and tried to snatch it back.

“You need to relax. We are doing good, it’s okay to do other things than prep,” he told me, keeping the book away from

me.

“I know we are doing good. I’m trying to make sure we continue to do so,” I said.

“We will. All of us are motivated, you had us preparing for this for years. If we haven’t learned it by now, it’s too late,” he

pointed out. I sighed.

“You’re right. But when I do it, at least I feel like I’m doing something.”

“You are. We all take our cue from you. When you are calm, we are calm,” he said, leaning back in his chair, enjoying the

sun.

“I think you have mistaken me for the Alpha,” I told him. He chuckled.

“No, Amie. You and Finlay may be close, but not so close I can’t tell you apart. Finlay is our Alpha, and we always look to

him to lead us. But you have a bigger influence on the pack than you realise. You have been our stand-in Luna since you

arrived. At this point, it’s lucky he hasn’t found his mate. I honestly don’t know how the pack would react to a Luna who won’t be you.” I was left speechless. I just looked at him. He glanced at me and laughed at the look on my face. “I know

the both of you have messed up family issues at the moment, but you really should just let him mark you and save us all

from this guessing game. If you could do it in about four weeks, on the Monday, I would be grateful.”

“Don’t tell me you have a bet going on?” I asked him.

“Sure I have. Most of the pack is in on it. But I’m thinking as we are friends, you wouldn’t mind making sure I get the win.

Not so much for the money, mostly for the bragging rights.” My first instinct was to scold him for participating in the

betting. But I changed my mind and laughed instead.

“If I would ever let anyone mark me just so someone could have the bragging rights, it would be for you,” I told him. He

grinned.

“Why are you grinning?” Finlay asked as he came walking.

“Amie just told me I’m her number one person,” Sam said.

“I did no such thing!” I objected.

“You did. You just used other words, but I know what you meant.”
