“Not really, but there’s always the chance that I might lose. Carlos said there is only one person he feels is a true contender. That warrior you met yesterday, Noah.”

“Oh yes, and know this, Alpha,” he says, sneeringly. “When I kill you, I will take your mate as my own.” He looks at me as he says this, taking his time looking me up and down. I’m glad I didn’t eat. My stomach is churning at his comment. I’ve had enough of
