Carla’s P.O.V
I heard my name called over the intercom as Brandon finished putting my gloves on me. We walked out of the door and down the hall through another door that led out into a huge open room, with a big ring in the middle. As I walked out the crowd were cheering left right and center for Peaches, but I didn't mind because they had never seen me fight before and I was a newcomer. I got into the ring, coming face to face with Peaches, while Brandon stood outside the ring. A man stepped into the ring, standing between Peaches and I, then cleared his throat as he looked at both of us.
“The rules are, there are no rules. You fight until you can't fight anymore. Now, are both of you ready?” The man asked, looking at both of us as we nodded. He moved out of the way and then raised both of his hands, looking at both of us once again.
“FIGHT!!” He shouted, slamming his hands down to his sides. We started circling each other and Peaches started, throwing the first punch, but I quickly ducked out of the way. Peaches threw another punch straight after, but this time she hit me right in the face. My head went back hard as she connected with my face and broke my nose. This only pissed me off, especially when Peaches smirked when the blood started dripping down my chin. She hit me a few more times, then turned and punched me in my stomach, making me go down, trying to catch my breath. I got back up with a new determination and started swinging my fist at her. Peaches moved out of the way, but made a bad move when she stepped forward just as I swung my right fist at her and knocked her on her ass. I quickly kicked her in the head, then kneed her in the face, making her lose four teeth and breaking her nose in the process. We both kept fighting, trading blow for blow and kick for kick, but neither of us were giving up. We were both getting worn down as we continued, but then Peaches got me in a headlock.
“When I get done beating you to death, I’m going to take your man and f**k him right in your bed. I’ll be Luna and we’ll be the power couple that should have been, instead of you.” Peaches whispered, saying the one thing that she should never have said to me. It pissed me off to think of how many bitches he has taken to bed. I was fed up with having to deal with his angry f*****g exes. I pulled Peaches arm back from my head and broke it, making her scream out in pain. I elbowed her in the head, forcing her to go down hard, then elbowed her in the back.
“You had him for a minute, but I am for keeps, bitch.” I whispered, lifting her head and headbutting her, knocking Peaches out. I grabbed her by the hair, ripping half of it out as I dragged her to the middle of the ring and dropped her to the floor. The referee stepped back into the ring and grabbed my hand, lifting it into the air.
“And the new winner is Carla Rufus.” The referee announced, just as Brandon walked into the ring, picking me up and swinging me around.
“Next time f*****g warn me if you f****d a b***h. I’m sick of hearing it from them.” I said, mind-linking Brandon.
“What the hell are you talking about? I have never touched that bitch.” Brandon replied, mind-linking me back.
“She said after she was finished with me she was going to f**k you and be the Luna and the power couple that should have been.” I said, quoting what Peaches had said to me.
“Carla, nothing ever happened between us. I might have been around the block a few times, but I never laid a hand on her, even if I was single I would never. The b***h has been around the block so many times that she has worn it out.” Brandon replied and I nodded, knowing now that Peaches had lied. Serves her right, I thought as I looked down at Peaches to see her mate picking her up off the mat. Peaches blinked a few times and then looked up at me, just as I smirked at her.
“If you ever want to try again, you know where to find me. Oh and one more thing, darling, you will never be the Luna of my pack.” I said and her mate turned away from her and looked at me. Peaches grabbed his hand and stomped off, making me shrug at what a sore loser she was. I went back to the locker room to shower and get changed, but when I was done I felt a little sorer than I thought I would. I started healing thanks to Kayla’s help and packed my fighting gear away in my bag. Brandon came back into the locker room and grabbed my bag, holding his hand out for me and I took it. We walked out of the warehouse and got back in the car, heading back home. We stopped once to grab a late dinner at a small diner and then carried on back home. When we got back the whole place was quiet and not a single person was around, which I was happy about because all I wanted to do was go upstairs and go to bed.
“Explain please, why did Peaches think she was going to be Luna?” I asked, turning to face him as soon as we walked into the bedroom. He rolled his eyes at me and the fact I wasn't going to let it go, then sat down in the chair.
“Three years ago before Peaches met her mate, she came to my pack and asked if she could join, of course I said yes, but then she made advances towards me. She showed up in my office half naked and was always following me around like a little puppy, but I wasn't interested. I already knew that she had been around the block a few times and I wanted none of it, so I told her it was best if she stayed out of the pack house and moved her into one of the cabins. When another pack came to visit she found her mate and left with him and his pack. I didn't know she would try that on you.” Brandon replied, explaining what had happened.
“Well, I don't think she will try anything again, but if she does then I’ll have to shove her head up her ass.” I said, walking over to him. Brandon smirked and pulled me to him, having me straddle him as I sat on his lap.
“I know you're exhausted, so you're lucky, but tomorrow morning you are all mine.” Brandon whispered, gently kissing the now healed spots on my neck where Peaches had me in a headlock. I smirked at him, knowing I was going to play a little game with him tomorrow. After all, it can't be all business all the time.
Unknown’s P.O.V
I watched her fight and I was shocked when she won. Damn, she beat the s**t out of Peaches, but only time will tell if she will be able to beat my fighter. I’ll have to watch her training and moves, then learn them so that my girl will be able to predict them and dodge them.
