I was woken up by pattering on the floor. When I opened my eyes, I saw Kyle running around playing with his toys, EJ nowhere in sight. "Hey, baby boy." "Mama." As for werewolves, the children grow quite faster than the rest. "Why you leave again mama?" "Well baby we are going to go visit some friends and we are going to be bringing you, Aunt Ki, back with us." "Yay, I am so excited to meet her." "Now go run and play with the other pups downstairs, I need to get ready." He smiled and grabbed a few toys and headed downstairs.
I showered and changed into some blue jeans, a blue tank matching EJ's eyes, with my combat boots. I spent most of the morning with Kyle, I knew Mav and EJ were at the training sessions picking out four of our top fighters. They chose Erin, William, Anna, and our best fighter besides us three Shawn.
At 5 pm we are ready I explained how long the drive was and when the fights began. I also had already called ahead knowing a few wolves there to set our fighters up with Ki, and her three friends. I knew if Mav saw them fight, he would welcome them, Ki would never leave them behind. I take a deep breath hoping everything would run smoothly and I knew during the fight I would have to keep Mav and EJ calm and in their place.
Micaiah POV
My feet are still killing me from shopping yesterday with Dylan, training yesterday at the gym, and working the bar. "Kiah, get your ass up it is five in the evening, we need to eat, work, then get to the ring." I grabbed the covers and pulled them over my head. "Come on sister, we get a week off after tonight and we can sleep and shop all we want," I growl at him slightly, he knows how to annoy me, but I still love him though. "Fine, but I want tacos." "Of course." He laughed and I got up and got ready for the day.I dressed in black ripped jeggings, red sports bra like tank top, black combat boots with red outlining, and my favorite black leather jacket.
So, we ate, and we were finishing our shift at the bar, I noticed Dylan seemed to be on edge, kind of snippy. "You ok Dill bear?" "Yeah, I just feel nervous, but I cannot figure out why." "Don't worry, if you need anything come talk to me okay." "Alright, lets clock out and go fight maybe I need to let out some steam. I notice Akiva has also been incredibly quiet today.
'Vee, are you okay? You have not had much to say today.' 'Yeah Ki, I feel on edge, don't worry I will be ready to fight.' 'It is not the fight I am worried about. I want to make sure your okay.' 'That is not what I meant Kiah, I just need to relax and everything will be fine, still wondering when our brother will be here to see us.' 'Me to Vee.'
We headed to our locker room, preparing for our fights. We get up in a circle and hold each other's hand and pray to our goddess as we do before every fight. "Goddess, keep us safe tonight and those we face. Let us keep clear minds and let no one seriously be injured. We thank you for giving us each other to lean on and care for. May you be with us in and out of the ring." We then hear, "Camelia Conners your up." "Good luck Cammy", "Give them a new one sis", "That's right baby, kick ass and don't get hurt." She headed to the ring, as we waited for our turns.
One by one they went to their fights of course, winning their fights. Then it was my turn, "Micaiah Winters, you are up next." As I headed into the ring, staring at my opponent six foot and more, completely muscle I do not think this guy has one inch of fat on him. as I was seeing the guy I was to face, I got this overwhelming scent in my nose. It was like cedar and old spice, it was amazing, and Akiva was stirring in my mind, but I needed to focus we needed to. 'Akiva, come on we need to focus.' 'Kiah, our mate is near I can smell him.' 'Vee, I promise after the fight we will find him. I promise.' 'Okay Ki, lets kick this dude's ass.' 'Well, let's do this.' "READY FIGHT!"
Maverick POV
We were sitting near the ring on the second floor in the arena, we wanted to be close it is easier to keep an eye on the fights and fighters. EJ was nervous, Emma just kept smiling. She was acting weird, but she is my sister I guess that is what she does these days. After this Emma said we would be meeting Micaiah and her friends at a diner nearby. First fight was up, they introduced our fighter. "We have a new fighter to the ring this evening, Erin." We cheered for our warrior she was very skilled and adequate. "She will be facing one of the Wolf Clan members, Camelia. Be careful she may look innocent, but she is deadly." She stepped out and Emma whispered, "she goes by Cammy," this must be one of the friends she was telling us about.
She was wearing a White Sports bra tank top thing, and Black ripped jeggings, she seemed fit for her size probably five foot three. "READY FIGHT!" Neither took off at the other. They circled each other for a few minutes then our fighter Erin started the fight. They were throwing punches, kicks, each blocking most, landing some. Erin seems to be wearing tired after fifteen minutes, and the one called Cammy noticed and used it to her advantage. It did not take long, and Erin was pinned to the mat. Next was William and Jake another of Micaiah's friends, he had a fresh style, but the results were the same after fifteen minutes Jake was the winner. Damn, they were good, better than what I expected.
Next was Anna, she was one of the best underneath Shawn, I had faith in her capabilities. She was up against a man Emma called Dylan; said he was Micaiah's best friend. This match went on for about forty-five minutes, and they were both wearing down. By the end of the match Dylan had won. "You were right Emma; they are different but good." "I told you so little brother." She said smirking at me, why was she being so weird, honestly, creeping me out.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen the last fight of the night. First up, another new fighter Shawn." People cheered him on, with just his looks they could see he was a worthy fighter. "His opponent the undefeated Micaiah Winters." The crowd roared, wait, isn't that "Ki, Emma, you never said she was in the fights." "EJ, I told you she wants you to see her for who she is now." Emma looked at me with curiosity and said "Mav, no matter what remain calm, you are an Alpha have self-control." I furrowed my eyebrows together trying to figure out what she meant.
I then looked to the ring seeing the woman walking into the steel cage. She was about five foot five, she was curvy, tan, long deep brown hair with blonde highlights. She was wearing ripped black jeggings, a red sports bra tank, and a leather jacket. She looked badass, she took her jacket off and laid it on her side of the cage, and turned around. I looked into her deep green eyes and my heart began pounding like someone beating a drum. Then my wolf Alaric spoke in my mind 'MATE.'
