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

As we headed for the stadium for the third game, I felt better about things than I had done in a week. What Amie’s

father had told her yesterday had changed things. It made me look at our situation in a new light and it made me feel

better and stronger. It wasn’t just me. We had talked to the team and told them everything we had learnt. They all walked

with more spring in their steps. We had a plan. Even if we had no clue what the third game was, we knew ways to earn

points and valuable information on how to get out of tight spots. The steps up to our seats had never felt so easy to

climb. We sat down and waited for everyone to take their seats and for the speaker voice to tell us what was going to

happen. I was watching the crowd, searching out the now familiar places where packs of interest had their seats. Alpha

James was watching Amie, trying to make it look like he wasn’t. It was made difficult because of his seat having it’s back

to where we sat. It irritated me. I knew he was her mate and as such he had a claim to her. But in my mind he had given

up that claim the second he rejected her. I wouldn’t let him get my good mood down. Instead I leaned into Amie and

plucked a leaf which had got stuck in her braid and showed it to her.

“A little soon to be wearing a laurel reef,” I told her. She looked at the leaf and then at me. She shook her head, but I

could see how close she was to smiling.

“Don’t joke around, this is serious,” she scolded me, leaning closer.

“Fine, but just for now,” I agreed. I sat back up and looked in Alpha James’ direction. He looked like he had swallowed a

hornets’ nest. He wasn’t even trying to hide his stares.

“What has got James looking like someone stabbed his foot?” Amie asked me.

“I don’t know, but I like the look on him,” I told her. This time she actually laughed.

“You are horrible,” she said. I just shrugged.

“Welcome to the third game,” the speaker said. Saving me from admitting I had intentionally made Alpha James jealous.

“Today’s game is again played individually by the packs. We have set up four identical games. Like with the first game,

you will wait here until you are taken to the area where the test will be held. Those teams who have lost one or more

teammates will have a disadvantage in this game. As this is your own doing, we won’t do anything to correct this. Our

expectation of you will be just as high as for the other teams. The game today aims to test your logical and strategic

thinking alongside your ability to adapt. As always, we wish you good luck.”

“Well, this sounds like fun,” Jake said. Amie smiled and nodded.

“I came prepared this time. I was bored senseless during our wait at the first game,” Ramses said, waving a deck of cards.

“If I wasn’t mated, I would have kissed you,” Sam told him. The look of horror on Ramses face made us all laugh. We made ourselves as comfortable as possible and started playing cards.
