The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Friday’s POV

I had not gotten out of bed that day. Last night I dreamt of Maze. In my dreams, he accepted me so dreaming was much preferable to reality. Dreams were always better than reality when it came to me. I had not had a happy day in a while and my first happy moment in two years led to me being humiliated and heartbroken. It was early in the afternoon. I was not hungry. I wanted nothing more than to sneak into the pack house and beg Maze to accept me as his mate, my one chance at happiness and love.

There was a sharp knock on my door. I sprang up and ran to the door, flinging it open.

My brother, Fang, stood there, shocked at how I had responded so quickly. My face fell. Fang was alone.

“You have to come to the pack house,” he insisted. “That’s an order!”

Before I allowed myself to hope, fear gripped me. What is Alpha Maze wanted me banished or killed? Surely, he could not be that cruel. He had not harmed me last night. He just wanted nothing to do with a wolf-less mate. He was ashamed of me. I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I groaned.

“I don’t want to hear it, Friday! Let’s go!” Fang said.

“I just want to know why I’m being summoned to the pack house. Maze said never to come there” I said, pleading with my brother.

“Don’t be insolent! Maze changed his mind and that’s Alpha Maze to you!” My brother bellowed using his beta voice.

It had no effect on me as I was wolf-less but it was still scary to witness.

“I’ll get ready very quickly,” I said.

“Come as you are,” he said, walking away. “No one cares how you look.”

I slammed the door which I knew was a huge risk. I quickly grabbed my clothes and ran into the bathroom, locking the door. I brushed my teeth while in the shower. I heard Fang’s cry of rage. He banged on the door incessantly. I dried off as quickly as possible. I would have to go with damp hair. I slipped into the only nice dress I had, a short red sundress. I actually dared to put on mascara. Fang literally broke down the front door and then ripped the bathroom door of its hinges. I would never be able to afford a repair person for that. He grabbed me and swung me over his shoulder. I was still barefoot. I was too scared to protest anymore.

He marched through the woods at an incredible pace and before I knew it, he threw me on the porch of the pack house. I braced my fall with my already bruised palms. My knees did not get scratched but they still hurt. I got to my feet and followed Fang upstairs. He was leading me up many flights, all the way to the fifth floor, but the fifth floor was only for the alpha. I was terrified. He knocked on a door. A tall blonde werewolf I did not recognise opened it but he was quickly pushed aside by the tallest werewolf I had ever seen. He was almost seven feet tall with broad shoulders. He was well-built and muscular. His dark ash brown hair was just past his shoulders. He stared at me, his blue eyes wide with shock. He smelled like a rainforest. It was the most beautiful smell. It reminded me of when I had sniffed Maze last night. I did not know if I wanted to see Maze desperately or hoped I would not run into him. I was confused and this gorgeous man was making me even more confused.

“Alpha Thaddeus,” Fang said, addressing the seven-foot-man.

“Beta Theodore,” Fang added as the blonde man came back into view, grinning, not the least bit annoyed that he had been pushed aside.

“This is my wolf-less sister Friday who cuts my hair like I was telling you,” Fang said.
