The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Maze’s POV

Her smell was driving me mad. I could tell Fang was leading her up the stairs. Her smell got more and more intense. Why did she have to smell so d*mn good? I sighed and tried to concentrate. I had some work to get through before the Celebration tonight. I cursed that odd alpha who had demanded my rejected wolf-less mate be allowed in the pack house. I bet he would insist that she attend the Celebration too. I had to just get through the night. Alpha Thaddeus was only staying one night. He would leave tomorrow afternoon. Then, I would tell Fang to remind his sister she was not allowed in the pack house. We were just accommodating a guest, a very powerful guest.

Her smell intermingled with the smell of that odd alpha a little. My inner wolf growled but I quieted him. She was brought here to cut the alphas’s hair and shave him so obviously they were standing near to each other. I felt a little jealous that she was attending to another alpha but I could not have Friday attend to me and still have the strength to resist the mate pull. Even across the hallway, it was maddening. Then I smelled it. I smelled Friday’s arousal. My wolf was murderous. What was she doing with that other alpha? Before I could stop myself, I ran across the hallway at lightning speed and burst through the door. Thankfully, the door was unlocked so I did not have to break it down.

Friday looked startled. Thaddeus looked extremely calm and happy. I was livid. Friday was sitting on another alpha’s lap, in his embrace, and she was aroused.

A growl ripped through me. I lunged forward to grab Friday away from Thaddeus but he quickly placed her behind him. He snarled at me, eyes black, canines bared.

Beta Theo and Beta Fang ran upstairs and into the room.

“What’s wrong, Maze?” Fang asked.

“Thaddeus, what happened?” Said Theo.

“He has my mate!” I yelled, anger pouring out of me.

“But you rejected her?” Said Fang. “She’s wolf-less!”

“What?!” Bellowed Thaddeus and Theo in unison.

“Friday was your mate?!” Thaddeus said.

“Yes,” I said. “I found out last night. I rejected her because she is wolf-less but that doesn’t mean that she can be your plaything!”

Thaddeus laughed. “Plaything? She’s my mate now. And I’ve accepted her wholeheartedly. She’s the future Luna of the Berryndale Wolf Pack.”

My heart threatened to cleave in two. Friday had gotten a second chance mate, another alpha! Was I missing something? She was wolf-less and fated to an alpha twice in a row. Fate was really trying to apologise for making her wolf-less. I sighed. I could not handle Friday being here with another alpha. She was mine first. Clearly, I’d missed something, some special power she might have.

Before I could stop myself, I said, “I, Maze Mason, Alpha of the Marigold Pack, rescind my rejection of Friday Fenestra. Friday, I accept you as my mate and Luna.”

“She’s already my mate and my Luna!” Bellowed Alpha Thaddeus. “I just said that same thing to her after you already rejected her. It’s too late now!”

Beta Fang cleared his throat, “In accordance with both of our packs laws, you may both attempt to sway her. Our Aly status does not allow a fight to the death between alphas. The decision is hers. The she-wolf in question.”

Everyone looked at my mate, Friday, who was peaking out from behind Thaddeus. She fainted.
