Fighting for Love

Chapter30

Desiree's POV

We see Tina being removed from the cells and taken to the hospital. She is yelling and fighting against the guards escorting her. When she sees us

“Anthony, Antoine, please help me. I didn’t do anything to hurt you. I love you! I would never hurt you. Please!”

“Tina, this is the decision of the council. We support this decision. What you did to us was unforgettable, unlawful and treason. You used magic on your future alphas. You will die for it” Antoine said

“No, I was making you see I was your best option as Luna. I love you, please don’t do this to me”. she cries

“This is all your fault. You f*****g human” she growls at me,

“I invoke a formal challenge against Desiree Maxwell” she exclaims.

All activity around immediately stops after she says that. The twins look at each other and then Anthony mindlinks his dad. When Alpha Trevor comes, Tina repeats her challenge. By werewolf law, you can’t deny a person the right to challenge another. The fact that she is going to be executed does not supersede this.

“What will you gain from this challenge, Tina? Even if you win, you will still be executed. So, why invoke a formal challenge?” Alpha Trevor asks

“I want the twins, and if I can’t have them, neither can she. I am going to show everyone that she is just a worthless human and not strong enough to be here.” Tina yells.

“You understand that even if you win. You will not be with the twins, you will not be Luna, your execution will still proceed.”

“Yes, I still invoke the law of formal challenge”, Tina says.

“But what is she challenging me for? If she is going to die anyway” I ask

“I can still challenge you for the twins and to be Luna” she growls.

“This is ridiculous. We can’t allow her to fight Desiree”, Antoine says to his father.

“You know the law, Antoine. We can’t refuse a challenge”, he says, looking at me.

“I’m good to fight her. But human form only, she can’t shift. If she shifts, I get to use any means available to me”, I tell them.

“I think that is fair”. Alpha Trevor agree

He then gets a mindlink from the gate guards that Alpha Teddy and Tina’s parents are here. We are all escorted to the viewing training grounds. This is a different area that has seats for viewing. Alpha Trevor alerts the pack of the formal challenge as stipulated in the rules of a challenge. As we walk to the training area, Leticia and Sharon come up to me. They pull me to the side with the twins, Wesley and David.

“What the f**k is going on, Desiree,” Leticia asks.

“She invoked a formal challenge. By werewolf law, the alpha can not deny her request. No matter what happens, she is still going to be executed”, I state

“But you could get hurt. Why are you doing this?” Sharon asks

“I have to, she challenged me directly. She continues to think she is better than I. According to her, I am a worthless human. I am not worried about winning, and then I can show the rest of these sluts that I am not to messed with. She isn’t allowed to shift. If she does, I can use my magic. I’m ready for this. It will be okay!” I tell them, hugging them.

We proceed to our designated areas. The twins must sit with the ranked members. When I look to them, I see Alpha Teddy there also. My anger increases thinking about what he and Tina did to me. I am going to enjoy destroying this b***h. Leticia and Sharon come with me as support. They also wrap my hands. I was already dressed in leggings and a sports bra since I was going to training. Tina is given shorts and a shirt since she is still in her ballgown from the night she was placed in the cells. Alpha Trevor addresses the crowd

“This is a formal challenge invoked by Tina Turner towards Desiree Maxwell. Per werewolf law, all challenges must be accepted, challenges are allowed to be viewed by any and all pack members, and must continue until submission or death. It has been agreed upon that this challenge will be in human form only. If Tina shifts, Desiree is allowed to use all means available to her to win the challenge. Do you both agree to the rules as stated?”

“Yes alpha” we say in unison and get in position. I get in a fighting stance as she just stands there. Can she even fight, I wonder.

“Let the challenge begin” he yells.
