Chapter 22. Stirrings

I feel desire stirring inside me, but I do my best to swallow it down. Now isn’t the time for the mate bond to interfere. I need to be focused so I can end this quickly and start my life with Sonya.

She’s going to wipe the floor with you.

Shut up, wolf! You need to get ready. We have a challenge we have to win.

You’re on your own, stupid human. I told you what I want and won’t settle for anything less. I throw a block up as quickly as I can. If he won’t join me, he can go away. I have no time for his bullcrap right now.

I get into my own fighting stance, facing my mate. She’s looking at me up and down, and the smirk on her face is a bit unnerving. I look for any weakness that she has, but nothing stands out to me. We are eyeing each other but not in a rush to move.

Lynn beckons me with her fingers, and I feel called out. I’m a Gamma wolf; I have royal blood. I won’t be intimidated by someone lower than me.
