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

We were back at the stadium. Three games remained and I couldn’t wait for it all to be over. I had been looking forward

to participating in the game for as long as I could remember. All the drama and the worry and everything else that kept

happening had me feel like I was done with it. I just wanted to go home, shut myself away with Finlay in his house for a week and pretend this month never happened. I couldn’t do that until we had finished the tenth game. So that was my

aim. Finlay had told the pack about the new threat and I could feel them closing rank. I should make Finlay go to the

different meetings of the packs, I had all intention of forcing him to be social when we got here, but now I hesitated. I

didn’t think I had it in me to handle him finding his mate on top of everything. Which made me a hypocrite. I sighed.

‘Hey, Red. What’s wrong?’ Finlay mindlinked.

‘Nothing, I’m just having a little issue with getting into the right headspace,’ I told him.

‘Do you need to sit this one out? It would be understandable,’ he asked.

‘No. I will be okay.’

‘When we get back home we will take a vacation,’ he said. I smiled.

‘I don’t think I want to leave the pack so soon again.’

‘We can set up in one of the caves on the pack land,’ he suggested. I laughed, making others look at me.

‘Thank you, I needed someone to pull me out of my pity party,’ I told him.

‘If any one deserves to have one of those, it’s you. Let me know if you need another laugh and I will trip Sam or

something,’ he said. Before I could respond, the speakers came to life.

“Welcome to the eight game. Today will be a test in agility.”

‘That will be it for my brother then,’ Finlay mindlinked us. We all tried our best to not laugh.

“The game is to be performed secluded. Ten identical rooms have been set up. By now you know the drill. Wait until your

pack is called. Please follow the rules given, if you break them, there will be punishments. We wish you the best of luck.”

‘Time to break out the cards again,’ Ramses said and took out the deck. We got as comfortable as we could and tried to

focus on the cards. Every now and then, Sam would make us move around.

“Blue mountain pack, you are up,” an official told us. We packed away the cards and followed him. He let us inside a

room with the instruction to stand within the marked area inside the door.

‘The last time we got that direction, I almost had my head taken off,’ Sam said and made sure we all stayed inside the

square. The room was again about sixteen square feet and on the other side of it,
