Me and Zane get back up to our room after he added me and lex to the scanner. I go to the bedroom and throw myself on the bed.

I can't believe the whole pack will see my wolf. Goddess I'm stupid.

"UGGHHHHH!" I let out a cry of annoyance.

"I tried to stop it ya know."

I turn my head to see Zane is leaning against the door frame, staring at me. An apologetic look on his face, mixed with a little worry.

"It'll all be fine."

I have to say it, because I have to believe it. I'll be Luna tonight after I win, there's no going back now. I'll just have to act faster than I expected with my plans for Lane. Once I'm Luna word will travel fast. I have to beat it to him.

I get changed into black workout leggings, a white workout crop top that shows my tattoos and black sneakers. I know I'll be ripping these clothes, so I might as well pick something less expensive.

This is why I didn't even want a mate. I haven't been awake in this pack more than a day and I've been challenged.

Just fan-fuckin-tastic.

It's already time to go to the training grounds before I know it. Zane and everyone else has been busy preparing for the challenge and the Luna ceremony afterwards. I head out the door and run right into my sister, literally. Knocking her on her ass.

"Oh I was actually about to knock, but that works too." She laughs.

"I'm sorry Lex I didn't smell or hear you. I was too caught up in my head."

"Smell? Nevermind. It's fine, I just wanted to walk and talk with you." We head to the training grounds together.

"So are you nervous?"

"About the fight, no. About people seeing my wolf, yes. Have you seen my dad or Max?"

"I understand that. And yeah, Felix said they're at the field already."

Great.

"So, how are things with Felix?" I raise a brow at her.

She squeals happily and pulls down the side of her t-shirt collar showing me the new tattoo like Mark that shows a shadowed moon "Amazing! He marked me last night!"

"Oh that is amazing, I'm happy for you! I know you'll be an amazing female Beta, and shifter in general." I smile at her, I really mean it.

"I'm nervous for the shift though." She looks down.

"Don't be, you'll be fine. Felix and I will be with you the whole time."

"Thank you sis. You're the best."

We are at the field before I know it. The entire pack is here of course. I didn't expect anything less. I see my dad and brother talking with Zane and Felix, who both smile when they see me and Lex. My dad is the first to walk over to me though, and pulls me to the side. With Max joining us.

"You'll be fine. I know you will because I taught you everything you know. Kill her in human form so you don't have to do wolf." I stare at my father in shock.

Did he really just say that? Of course he did.

"Dad I'll be fine. I'll be Luna after I win, remember. I'll be safe here. Word will get out about me eventually. I'm safer here as Luna than anywhere else on my own."

He just huffs at me "It's your choice, but I think it's wrong."

"Well I don't." Max says, shocking us both.

"What?" Me and my Father say at the same time.

"I think she'll be safe here too. It's where the Moon Goddess wants her, or she wouldn't have made her Luna." Max has a point.

"What about Lane?" My father asks me.

"Don't worry. I have a plan."

I'm walking into the center of the field with all eyes on me before I can even process it all. Zane is at my side, so that's helping.

"You'll do great." He kisses my forehead and I inhale his scent deeply.

"You know if you had marked me, she couldn't have challenged you." He looks at me with pleading eyes.

"Where's the fun in that?" I give him a quick peck on the lips and hear a growl.

"That's the last time you'll kiss my mate, mutt!"

Oh goodie, bozo is here. Wait... what the fuck did she just say? Oh hell no.

I flash her my canines and can feel my eyes glow softly to violet, letting her know she's pissed me off. She falters, looking nervous for only a second and gets into fighting position. We walk into the ring in opposite directions, circling each other. I know she'll make the first move, she's too stubborn not to.

"Okay! Here are the rules! You will fight in human form first, you may shift to wolf after at least five minutes unless one submits! A bell will go off at the five minute mark. Once in wolf form you continue until submission, or till the other can no longer fight! Begin!"

We circle each other for a moment and just as I was thinking I might have to make the first move she lungs at me, trying to throw a right hook to my face. But she's too slow, I duck her fist and put out my left leg turning in a circle to sweep her legs. It works and she lands flat on her back, but quickly recovers and jumps onto her feet.

I smile at her and blow her a kiss, she growls. I thought it would piss her off, I wanted it to. And I was right, she lungs for me again; but this time she tries to throw me off by trying to tackle me.

I anticipate the move and jump up into the air right as she lowers her body to hit mine, I quickly land both feet on her back and push off as hard as I can. Which sent her flying to the ground as I do a flip in the air and land on my feet. I turn to face her and she had already gotten up and charged me again.

Oh shit.

I wasn't quick enough, and I wasn't expecting her to recover so quickly. She lands a blow to my stomach knocking the air out of my lungs, making stumble back a step. She takes advantage of my shock and throws another punch at my jaw; I hear my bone crack and taste blood.

Oh, fuck you, it's on bitch!

I spit the blood out and pop my jaw back into place, so it won't heal crooked. I let out a low growl and bare my teeth at her.

"I guess you're not so bad, you actually landed a hit pup." I smirk at her.

She growls and lungs for me again, playing right into my hands. I smile internally knowing I'm about to put her on her ass. Right before her fist make contact with the other side of my face. I side-step it and turn putting my back to her front, while grabbing her wrist and forearm instantly swinging her over my body.

I hear the air rush from her lungs as her body collides with the ground. Not wanting to give her time to recover I jump on top pinning her arms above her head and squeeze my legs against her making it harder to struggle or escape. She looks at me with a grin on her face but doesn't attempt to fight back or move at all. Then I hear it, the bell. The five minute mark.

Fuck, she's gonna shift.

Sure enough I start to hear the cracking of bones beneath me and see her transforming. Muddy brown fur covers her body and I slide off her as she grows. I know I need to get back and shift.

Here goes nothing..
