We had all seen it. Finlay’s opponent in the final fight was his brother.

“Maybe it’s a good thing. This way, they can fight without killing each other,” Ramses said. Matilda and I looked at each

other and I knew we were thinking the same thing. The two brothers couldn’t kill each other, but no matter who won,

their relationship would never recover. This was the final blow. Sam would be facing a Gamma from a pack I hadn’t heard

of and my brother would face the Beta from Medow’s old pack. There was no way around it, I would have to watch Finlay

fight, there was no way I wouldn’t be there for him. We split up. Ramses and Jake walked towards the ring where Sam

would be fighting. Matilda and I walked over to Finlay. He was standing beside the platform with a frown on his face.

When he saw me, the frown deepened.

‘I thought you would be good as new. You don’t look like it,’ he mindlinked me.

‘Oh thanks, just what a woman wants to hear. Easy on the compliments,’ I joked and tried to make him smile. His frown

stayed put. ‘Honestly, I’m in better shape than when you last saw me. I’m standing up and I’m in my human shape. Hugo

tells me I will be all better by tomorrow. So you will have no excuse not to dance with me,’ I said. He didn’t smile, but at

least his frown relaxed.

‘Good.’

‘How are you holding up? We have done well over all, it would be fine for you to step down from this,’ I told him.

‘I won’t. I think we need to do this,’ he said. I knew by the tone he was set on it. I nodded.

‘Matilda and I will be here,’ It was his turn to nod. He took a deep breath and turned to walk up on the platform. The match was about to begin.

‘I don’t know how Becky managed to watch all of Elder’s fights,’ I linked Matilda and felt her take my hand. We stood

side by side, holding hands and watching the two brothers prepare to fight. Tamara came walking and stood on Matilda’s

other side.

“I have done everything I can to not have this happen, and now the game has forced us to this point,” she said.

“Maybe it has always been unavoidable,” Matilda told her sister. I stayed quiet. It would have been easier for Finlay if his

mother hadn’t stopped him challenging his brother eight years ago. I was almost certain he would have won. If he would

have, he wouldn’t have created our pack, and I wouldn’t have met him. So, in a way I should be grateful to his mother. I

decided it was in the past and no matter what I thought about it, it was too late to change. I focused my attention to the

two men as the signal to start the fight sounded. I almost crushed Matilda’s hand as Finlay’s brother attacked him. Alpha

Ryan tried to swipe with his clawed hand at Finlay. Finlay ducked and moved to the left, under his brother’s outstretched

arm. As he moved past, Finlay sent a punch at his brother’s gut. It hit home and I could hear Alpha Ryan release the air
