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

The fifth game day had arrived and I felt more anxious than I had done on the fourth. I was determined to make sure

Amie, and my other pack members were kept safe. I made sure to stay close to Amie as we entered the stadium and

waited for our instructions.

‘Is it just me or are we getting more attention than usual?’ Sam asked after a while. I noticed the same and nodded.

‘I think it’s due to a certain red wolf,’ Ramses told us with a grin. We all looked at Amie.

‘Me?’ she asked.

‘What do you know?’ I asked.

‘I was at one of the social gatherings yesterday,’ Ramses began. We all nodded. It was natural for an unmated wolf to make sure they met as many new wolves as possible when given the chance. ‘I heard a lot of talk about our Beta. They were talking about how irritating she had been, and both her red fur and her agility and speed impressed them all. I would say you have got a lot of new admierers,’ he told Amie. Great, as if one lovesick Alpha wasn’t enough competition.

Now I needed to compete with half of the males around me.

‘It will pass. Someone else will do something and their attention will be on them,” Amie said. I should have known it wouldn’t go to her head. There was some static from the speakers and all of our attention was diverted to the incoming

message.

“Welcome to the fifth game. After today we have reached the halfway point of the games and you should have got used

to things. This game will be performed by every pack separately. We have set up ten identical rooms. Please wait for an

official to call you for your turn. We wish you all luck.” We looked at each other and I relaxed. No one would get hurt. If

they did, it would be because we messed up, and I knew we were better than that.

‘What do you think we will have to do?’ Jake asked.

‘Wrestle crocodiles?’ Sam suggested.

‘No,’ Jake said, then laughed nervously. ‘They wouldn’t do that. Right?’

‘Probably not,’ Ramses agreed.

‘Oh, stop it. No, they won’t make us wrestle wild animals,’ Amie told them.

‘I wouldn’t put it past them,’ I jokingly said. We had barely got comfortable when an official walked up to us. We had
