The Luna Fighter

Chapter 25 meeting my challenger

Ripley’s P.O.V

  I walked Carla downstairs and Alpha Brandon was waiting at the bottom for her, wearing one of his best suits. When she finally got to the bottom step Alpha Brandon turned around and looked her up and down. It made me laugh internally as you could see a little bit of drool on the side of his mouth. Alpha Brandon looked at me and at first I thought he sensed my amusement, but then he smiled and wiped the edge of his mouth, making me tightly close my mouth to stop the laughter from coming out.

  “Awesome job, Ripley. She looks gorgeous.” Alpha Brandon said and I smiled, happy with the praise I had received.

  “Thank you, Alpha. I’ll take my leave now.” I replied, bowing my head to him and then I hugged Carla.

  “Knock 'em dead, kiddo.” I whispered and she nodded.

  “Thanks, Ripley.” Carla whispered back and I smiled. I let go of Carla and walked out the back door of the pack house back to my cabin. I wished that I had that, but one day I would find my mate. It already seems as if everyone around me is finding them, all except me. I walked in the dark, enjoying the cool night breeze before going into my cabin and collapsing on the bed. It had been a long and exciting day, but I enjoyed spending time with Carla. She was going to make an excellent Luna and I hoped we could be friends as well.

  Carlas P.O.V

  The party was now in full swing and Brandon held my hand as we walked into the huge living room. All of the other Alpha’s watched us as we walked by, making me feel slightly uncomfortable with all the attention I was getting. 

  “I’m going to introduce you to your challenger’s Alpha.” Brandon said and I nodded. Soon we stopped by a table and Brandon handed me a glass of wine.

  “Alpha Moon, this is Carla Rufus, my mate and fighter. Where is your fighter, Moon?” Brandon said, introducing us. Alpha Moon turned around, looking at me and his eyes went from my feet right up to my face, but then I heard Brandon growl, which caused Alpha Moon to chuckle.

  “Calm down, Alpha Brandon, I was just checking your mate out.  She is a gorgeous one and just look at those muscles on her calves and arms. I say you must have been working out.” Alpha Moon said, making Brandon tighten his grip on my waist. Just then a stunning woman came up to Alpha Moon and placed her arm around his waist as he looked down at her with loving eyes.

  “Carla, I want you to meet your challenger, Luna Peaches.” Alpha Moon said and I looked at the stunning redhead. She had green eyes and was about 5.6 with a figure to die for. Luna Peaches held out her hand for me and I took her hand, shaking it. I felt Peaches squeeze my hand tightly, testing me to see if I would try and pull away from her, but I didn't. I squeezed her hand right back and just as tight, which made Peaches eyes light up.

  “Finally, a challenger who doesn't back away from pain. It's very nice to meet you. You're beautiful for right now, but when I’m done with you, you might need a plastic surgeon.” Peaches said and watched my face to see if there were any signs of fear, but there wasn't any and instead I just laughed. Peaches looked at me confused as she watched me laugh.

  “So, you're a big talker for a redhead, we will see when the fight starts, but don't let your mouth overrun your ass. I don't scare easily, just like my mate Alpha Brandon, no matter how hard he tries. I don't care if you are ten foot tall, if you're going to talk the talk, you better walk the walk. So, are we done yet? When is the fight?” I asked and felt as Brandon placed his hand on my lower back to try and calm me down.

  “Easy, Carla. Calm down, love.” Brandon whispered in my ear and then stood straight, looking at Alpha Moon and Peaches.

  “The fight is in two days and I have a feeling the party is over now. Goodnight everyone, please show yourselves out.” Brandon announced and stood there looking at Alpha Moon. he was just standing there, staring at me, until Peaches grabbed his arm.

  “Come on, Moon. We have two days to get prepared and I plan on winning this fight. I won't go down, Carla, just remember that.” Peaches said, but I just shook my head and started laughing again.

  “You sure like to talk a lot, see you in two days.” I said and we both watched as they walked out of the room. Brandon went to the door, shutting it behind them and then let out a full bellied laugh, which was so loud that I am sure they heard as they drove off.

  “Come on, you're going to need your rest, we have a full day of training tomorrow. I’ve seen this woman fight and she fights dirty, so let's head upstairs and get some sleep. We start at six in the morning, running laps in the gym. We are going to have you ready for that bimbo.” Brandon said, turning to face me and I nodded in agreement. We walked up to the bedroom and I stripped out of my dress, then went to the bathroom and washed my face, taking my make-up off. I walked back into the bedroom to see that Brandon was already undressed and lying in the bed. I put my night shorts and vest top on and climbed into bed. I pulled the blankets over me, thinking about tomorrow. I knew I was going to have to train hard, but right now I was too tired to do anything, so I had absolutely no trouble falling asleep.
