The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Friday’s POV

Thaddeus quickly placed me to sit on the bed. He locked the door this time. All his movements were so quick, I barely caught them. He brought a chair close to the bed and sat facing me, our knees almost touching

Thaddeus’ POV

She was perfect. Absolutely perfect. I had been waiting seven years for her and she was a dream come through. Her wolf-less-ness did not interest me. Her beautiful legs, pretty doll mouth and big doe eyes did. My inner wolf was howling. It was difficult not to try to claim her right away but I had to abide by the laws of the challenge. She had to remain unmarked and unmated until the next full moon when she gave her answer. I was not the slightest bit worried because I would ensure that her answer would be me. Maze had already rejected her and only wanted her because she was now desired by another. I knew my little mate, Friday, would be smart enough to see I was her true mate.

I could scarcely believe Maze had been so stupid, rejecting this stunning, sweet she-wolf because she was wolf-less. How could he be so pompous? Whatever. His loss was my gain.

“Friday, my lovely little luna, are you hungry?” I asked. “Yes!” Squealed Friday as though excited by the prospect of eating and surprised I had even asked.

I mind-linked one of my warriors to get food from the pack kitchen. He returned with a tray over-laden with a variety of both savoury and sweet dishes. He peaked in at Friday, curious to see his new Luna. Friday blushed and the warrior bowed, grinning. I knew Theo must have told all six of our comrades by now that I’d finally found my mate. I locked the door again and brought the entire table to Friday so she could eat while sitting on the bed.
