Werewolf’s Heartsong by Dizzy izzy

Next up!…”*

Darien whooped, hollered, and roared his excitement over his mate’s defeat of one of his fellow Alpha Class fighters. Alora, caught up in his excitement as well as her own, was standing and clapping with him. What Alora had not expected was for Darien to suddenly grab her by her shoulders and shake her as he proudly claimed, “That’s my mate!”, over and

over again.

It took several moments for Darien to calm down enough for him to let go of Alora, who was not enjoying him handling her in such a way. Alora had been seconds away from grabbing his hands and forcibly removing them from her. While she was usually comfortable with Darien touching her, grabbing, and shaking her like that was another thing.

Given the situation however, and the fact that he let her go before she had to say or do anything. Alora decided to let it go. Darien deserved his excitement, his mate did win her match, and he was all too happy to roar his claim of her for everyone to hear. Alora smiled, feeling happy for her claimed brother.

Alora also felt Selena and Xena’s combined happiness for Darien as well. Darien didn’t

start to quiet down till the announcer called the next match.

“Next up we have Kain Mountainmover against Jamison Blackfire!”

Darien sat down finally, he was surprised that Kain had challenged Jamison at first. After a moment of thought, Darien smacked himself in the forehead. Of course, Kain would challenge an Alpha Class fighter, Galen had most likely issued a challenge as well. Where Serenity went, her brothers were sure to follow behind her.

Alora had assumed from the moment of Serenity’s fight her brothers would follow shortly after her. The bond between the twins and Serenity was clear and solid. All three were powerful fighters, but her instincts told her that Serenity held more power than both her brothers did. Even so, Alora felt both Kain and Galen were still incredibly strong in their own right.

The fight between Jamison and Kain lasted three and a half minutes. Ending when Kain

“Winner of this match is Kain Mountainmover!” Yelled the announcer.

The medics rushed to the field to check Jamison. Broken ribs, even for the incredibly fast healing, were no joke. One wrong move and you had a collapsed lung and were coughing up blood. Worse still, was if your heart was punctured by a broken rib. The medics would assess how badly broken Jamison’s ribs were. Then they would tape them until they healed.
