My Second Chance

Sapphire's P.O.V

Graysen and Ryder were circling each other, trying to anticipate the opponents first move.

Clover tried to reassure me, but I could feel panic radiating from her. Although Ryder was younger and had an advantage to stamina and speed, Graysen was a very experienced fighter. And when I mean very, I mean very. "He'll be fine Sapph, calm down. He can sense you, remember?" Bell murmered beside me. "How? Our bond's broken when I rejected him." I frowned. No, our bond's not broken yet, Gwen informed me. What? I frowned in confusion.

"You did reject him, but you didn't do it out of pure ditaste. The bond was still there, faint, but still there. But just now when you proclaimed your love for him, it strengthened. Didn't you see how tired he was earlier?" Bell smiled softly. "He immediately looked carefree and younger." Will appeared beside me, smiling.

I stared at his figure and saw what they had said was indeed true. Yeah, yeah, whatever, all I can think is the heat now, Drew grumbled.

When she said that, I became really aware if my body condition. It was weakening, from the lack of food and the Changing.

"Prepare to lose Ryder Black." Graysen snarled as he lunged forward. My body moved by it's own out of instinct. "Wait!" I stood in front of Ryder protectively. Graysen stopped and looked at me in confusion from his green sly eyes. "You could've got hit." Ryder growled at me. I ignored him and faced Graysen.

"The person you want is me. It's only fair if I'm the one fighting." I said, determination lining my words. Graysen seemed to think it over. "No. I forbid this." Ryder scowled. "I'm your equal Ryder. You can not order me around." I glared at him. His face fell immediately, knowing that there was nothing he could do.

"Sapphire, this isn't a fight you can win. The odds are all against you." A familiar voice said and I recognised Georgia, Ryder's mother.

"What odds?" I raised an eyebrow, although I knew what she meant.

"I know someone who's weak when I see one. And I've been keeping tabs on what you eat." Georgia said, double meaning in her words. My eyes met her in surprise. Surely no one knew about my eating disorder. "What do you eat?" Ryder frowned in confusion. I just sent him a small smile.

you fight. The fight is all about fairness." Graysen smirked and I nodded. "You're only saying that because she's more likely tol lose. This isn't about fairness, it's just for your advantage." Ryder growled, opposing the idea. "My my... I just can't get anything pass you, can I?" Graysen tsked and Ryder let out yet another animalistic growl. I placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "I'll be fine. I'm not that weak." I smiled. Yes you are, Drew grumbled. Great to see the sarcastic side

Well, no one's noticing it, it's only rape if I get caught, Graysen smirked and I tried pushing him off. Everybody thought I was just trying to get away from him, not that they were literally watching a rape scene unravel in front of them.

Ross smiled sadly and shook his head, "however loyal a pack member has to be to their Alpha, what he did was extremely disgusting and wrong, we all have our limits. And moreover, you used to be a part of this pack. His sick behaviour has to stop. So... why not now?" He shrugged. "But you guys aren't scared to be dominated by

The corner of my eyesight turned blurrier with every second. I closed my eyes, resting it. I vaguely remembered a hand grabbing mine and panicked shouting. After that, I slowly drone out of the world. Where I was. What was happening. And who
