The Luna Fighter

Chapter 33 his not my boss

Updated 

Carla's P.O.V

  I listened to what Brandon had to say about my next fight and challenger, Tamina, but I was a little shocked when he said that killing the last girl was a mistake. Did that mean that she didn't mean to kill her because she didn't realise her own strength or was it due to some complication that the girl died? When Brandon told me her family’s name I still had no clue as to who they were, but the way he said it made it seem like a big deal, but to me it meant nothing. I had never heard of her or her family's name, but then again I had never heard of the auction place and the fight scene, so what did I know? It seemed as if I would have my hands full with this challenger and she seemed like a big deal, but after her I would only have two more fights left and then I’ll have to figure out what I want to do with regards to Brandon and our relationship. Should I stay and give our relationship and bond a chance or should I go and move on with my life? I thought to myself, asking the million dollar question, but I knew I’ll need to do some serious thinking about this. Even though I had already been thinking about it non stop, something always seemed to drag my attention away from my dilemma, but it also didn't help that I was also falling for him. I knew I felt safer now because ever since we had that talk he hasn't tried to land a hand on or near me, unless we were training. It's a scary thing when a man thinks he can lay a hand on a female, but the same goes both ways.

  I remember when my dad, well, the man I thought was my dad, got really drunk one night and forgot where he was. My so-called mother tried to sober him up and get him into bed, but he didn't want to go. He suddenly got very angry and punched her hard, but all my so-called mother did was tell me to go to my room because she didn't want me to see what he was doing. I was grateful to her for trying to protect me from that, especially because it was the only thing she tried to protect me from. The next thing I heard was a lot of things breaking, glass shattering and really loud growling. It was a good job we didn't have any neighbours because I was pretty sure they would have called the cops, saying that we were being mauled by wild animals or something with how loud the growling was. I opened my bedroom door and slowly peeked out, but I was shocked when I saw my mother had shifted and her wolf was now standing over my father. He had his arm over his face, shielding himself from her wolf and after that day he never laid a single finger on her ever again, except when he was being loving or gentle towards her. That was the one thing I learned from her, actually it was the only thing I learned from her and that was to never let a man lay a hand on me, not even my mate and I won't let that happen, no matter what. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Brandon talking on the phone, which was weird because I never even heard the phone ringing. I snapped my attention to him, wondering who he was talking to and why they didn't just mind-link him if it was a pack member.

  “Yeah alright, I’ll be out there in a few minutes and we’ll take care of it.” Brandon replied to whoever was on the phone, then clicked end on his phone and turned to face me.

  “We have a problem, I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Brandon said and then got up to leave.

  “Err….I thought you said WE had a problem, so why don't we both walk out there?” I replied and he nodded, but shrugged as well. 

  “Alright, if you want to, let's go outside and see what the problem is.” Brandon replied, but he sounded off. If he didn't want me to go out then one, why didn't he just say so and two, why did he say we to begin with? I don't get it and dont like how he sounded. He can be such a gentleman at times, but when it’s business he can be a real dickhead. We walked outside in silence and when we got out there I saw one of the guards standing with another man. He had short brown hair and brown eyes, but when he saw me a huge smirk came to his face.

  “Well lookie here, the one and only Carla Rufus. I’ve been wanting to meet you, the one that gave Peaches the beat down. The name is Natt and I am here to pay your boss the money I owe him after your fight.” The man I now knew as Natt said and I rolled my eyes, thinking he was a f*****g jerk. I waited for Brandon to say something, but he just stood there silent and when I looked at him he just shrugged, like he was thinking the same thing as Natt. Did he seriously think of himself as my boss instead of my mate? Was I the only one who actually cared about our relationship or was he just using me for these fights, like he said in the beginning?

  “He is not my f*****g boss. I’m only here to fight, so unless you have my next challenger I’m going back inside.” I replied, turning around and glaring at Brandon as I walked back inside the house. He didn't say a word, he didn't defend me at all. What the f**k? I don't get it, he says he doesn't want me to leave when he thinks I’m asleep, but when it really comes down to things like this, when I want him to say something or at least prove that he doesn't want me to leave, he says nothing. I swear he is so two faced and I have no idea which Brandon I am dealing with, until his mood suddenly changes and he does something like this.
