THE TALE OF A LONE WOLF

CH 7- RUINED IMPRESSION

MIA'S POV

As that eye lock happened, I felt being dragged towards him as if his aura was pulling me. It was a undefinable feelings and I believed it to be the bond we had. I felt contended to see him in the most renowned seat of the alpha of alphas. He did deserve it. The feeling began to tickle down my spine and I brushed it off not to get distracted and focussed on the ceremony but then began to feel suspicious as the man’s eyes were still stuck on me. As I changed my expression to my current feeling, he looked away and got down the dais and disappeared from everyone’s sight being surrounded by guards.

I gave out a deep breath as the people I had intended to meet had came to me without i making my move. I still felt amazed on how easy things were going on as my one action of saving Dylan had got me many surprises. I smiled at myself and was interrupted out of my dream world when Dylan pinched me.

“Ouchh.....why do you keep doing that" I yelled at him and had a hard time rubbing of the pain which felt like an irritating ant bite.

“why do you always go into your dream world every moment huh? Tell me, did you fall for him" he utilised all the chances he got to tease me to the maximum and had his wicked smirk on which made me stammer.

“and....and why exactly would I do that" I didn’t know how to react and blabbered out another dumb question which trapped me a lot more.

“Cause I did see you drooling over him even though it couldn’t be compared to that of other girls” he burst into a ton of laughter and I stood embarrassed to death being caught brushing of the weird feeling I felt of him.

An announcement was made by the daughter of omega who was at the gates letting in the people who came for the fest and she made instructions particularly for the players.

Hearing that I looked at my hands and stared at my arm swing and realised that I was going to have a tough time competing. I began to work my mind on how I was going to play with the wound and its effect and I felt a hand on mine.

“I’m sorry. We believe that your wound would be healed in a short time but do you think you can take up the pressure of such a game when your body is too weak for it” it was Dylan and he showered me with concern regarding my wound and all I could do was to smile at him as I walked away with the other player to the arena to be detailed about the games.

There were at least 30 players, both males and females with each having their own unique skills. But their eyes had a kind of hunger for power as they arrogantly behaved with each other.

We walked into a ground next to the arena which was supposed to be for the training. It was a flat ground with a shed nearby where the weapons and equipment required for the trainings were kept.

I found a bright smile curving on my lips as I imagined warriors training for their games while kids used to play around in the corner with them observing their techniques and tactics. Imitating the strong moves of their fathers were a bliss for the kids and studying it was a honour.

The ground was empty and all the players shattered around exploring the innovated ground and the new weapons that were made available for the games. Before i entered, i kneeled down and touched the soft sands that still had its old scent. The divine scent of sweat which the mighty lycans had shed on training to be the best. I felt like being intoxicated by it that I rubbed my hands in the sand to feel it. Luckily i was saved from being noticed by others who were busy with their exploration.

I got up and cursed myself for not controlling the rush of memories i was going through. It was beginning to be a serious issue as it was easily making me from being out of my cover. I contempt myself and then a girl much younger than us entered the ground and ordered us to fall in together.

“Welcome to the training ground. I’m Tasha and today onward still the end of the games, I’m going to be your training instructor and whatever you need, report it to me. I’ll make sure it is made available to you" in her husky yet soft voice she announced and the players looked at her with extreme resentment.

My heart fluttered hearing her name and again it got out of control. I had prepared myself lots for the day i meet these people but I was never prepared to meet all of them in just a single day. I wasn’t able to handle the euphoria that I was feeling seeing that girl grow so big. She wasn’t the baby girl I had brought up but a strong women now. Her cute and soft chubby cheeks were long gone and her skin was tanned and tight like that of a fierce warrior.

I examined her top to bottom and filled my heart with satisfaction that she was perfect in her own way. There was no similarities between us yet and i felt proud for what she had made of herself.

I wondered how she had become a trainer in such a young age and how she could face players which were double her size because to face such players, one not only needed huge strength but also antics as where one lacks strength, they need to use brains. I was curious to see her skills with which she would instruct player like ones in front of her.

The players were lost in murmurs and a shout of ‘silence' echoed the ground. It was her who shouted to keep the discipline of player intact and her dominance triggered an arrogant player amongst us.

“Hey little girl, go and play around with sticks in the forest than wasting your tiny bones for us" he mocked her and I knew she was on fire being mocked for her physical strength.

“why don’t we see who really has tiny bones" she knuckled her hands with full on confidence challenging the player to fight her so that she could slam them with the fact as to never mock any wolf for its physic.

The man was way older than most of the players and was really experienced in all aspects. I felt a bit worried for her as i never knew what were her skills and strength or how she was going to save herself. They took their positions and agreed to have a man to man combat and began the fight. The man was way too arrogant and aggressive in his moves which she kept on defending with. I smirked seeing that she was a well observer as her eyes were fixed on the mans body as he made his attacks. Once she got his tactics decoded, she began to make her moves with a full fledged plan and she was like invincible with her speed and the moves she had chosen to compete a man double her size and strength. In no time, the skinny girl had overpowered the man and he struggled to release himself from her.

She released him and put a bad ass face making everyone understand never to underestimate their opponents be it in any way. All were quite impressed with her and cheered up clapping and i too clapped for her being proud of what she had grown into.

As expected, her proud eyes fell on me, a player with an arm swing. She looked at me in a pitiful way and I got on my cold face. She called me to the front and I walked up to her and faced her like a proud sister. She observed me for some time and then smile egoistically.

“aren’t you the one who saved to be alpha Dylan's life" she folded her arms and behaved in a way which i felt very arrogant of her.

I nodded as a reply and she touched my wound, actually i thought she was about to touch it but what she did was nicely pressed my wound which made me sting with pain. I hissed to the sudden action and was ready to pounce on her but controlled my anger and she smiled at me mockingly.

“So weak and still want to play. Is it for the honour of your pack or for your fame" her arrogance was all that was enough for my brave warrior impression of her to shatter into dust. One moment she talked about not to underestimate opponents and the moment she did it her self. Well she needed a good answer for insulting me and to shut her arrogance.

“ Wanna see what this WEAK body can do" I emphasised on weak and she looked me alarmed of my attitude.

“ too much attitude huh" she again took her position like before and I smirked at her as I knew I was enough to shut her over pride because i didn’t want this girl to be who she was as she wasn’t her self.

I calmly took my position knowing how she was going to take on the fight as i had seen her techniques. She had thought herself to be strong and mind player but most of it was her luck as her opponents wasn’t so sharp minded to decode her own way of fight.

She was the one to rage her attack and i simply used her own tactics against herself to make her realize her real mistakes. She used her tricks on me and i did the same with her. Even thought my body was weak and burned with pain of wolf banes, i still endured it and focussed on her. The other players who were seeing our fight began to murmur about how weak Tasha was falling in front of a wounded opponent and as per my plans it had reached Tasha's ears which ignited the fire of ego in her.

She began falling in her own trap not understanding that i was using her own moves against her single handed, defending myself from her and she went on opening up her cover more and more.

At last i put an end to the useless fight by using my hands to flip her over when she tried to hover above me to make me fall but then lost to her own move and fell on ground with a thud.

I jumped on top of her and stretched my arms which were paining dead and told her the exact dialog she had told her own opponent.

“ never to underestimate you opponents, especially the wounded ones" her broken pride was clearly visible on her face and she fumed with ego as I got up and gave her a hand to help her stand up. She shooed it away and I didn’t give a damn and walked away as they others cheered for me.

I wanted some peace and alone time for myself as I did feel bad for what she had faced now and sat against a tree near to the ground. She should have never showed to much arrogance and over confidence to anyone and especially to me as if literally hated those 2 things. I felt really bad seeing that she had changed a lot from what she was. The chubby cheek girl was now a egoistic and arrogant warrior who over took herself than others.

I was interrupted when I sensed someone near me. I looked up and saw that it was none other than my own room mate whom I hadn’t even known name of.

She kneeled to me and handed over to me a bottle of water and that was when I really met her eyes. She looked much younger than me and I took her help and relaxed.

“you did great senior" her soft and cute voice made me smile and she secretly took out something from her pocket and made me eat it.

It was a tree bark and some kind of medicine which tasted very familiar. It took me a while to catch out what it was and then i looked astonished at her and she again gave me a smile nodded what i realised was right. I wondered what new pace is this girl going to bring in my plans.........
