Let's do this

Let's do this
Blake POV

I was staring at Loki, and it was so hard to believe how mentally ill he has become, and yet it felt normal that he would suggest something this sick. 




Because of the past couple of times, he had been nice to me, I kind of forgot just how brutal he can be and why I had called him, "monster," in the past.




But it's moments like this that wake me up from my stupidity and show me the devil in Loki that makes me hate him to the core with everything in me.




After all the mumbling I have heard so far from the elders, no one in the room was on my side, except Neron. But his silence was making me question if he was willing to risk himself for me. 




To be honest, I didn't want him putting himself in a crossfire because of me. If he gets hurt and it's my fault, I don't think I will ever forgive myself.




So yeah, I rather he stays quiet because I know what Loki is like when he gets pissed, and I don't want Nero in any way involved with this situation.




"What's wrong, sis? Afraid that I am going kick your ass?" Luna mocked with a smirk on her face.




It was pretty clear that she was enjoying Loki's sick rule since I have been on her and her mother's death list for quite a while. And what better way that can happen, than by this golden opportunity Loki had laid before them.




As I was about to speak, fear squeezed the air out of my lungs when Nero woke from his seat and uttered, "Let's get out of here."




It would have been a sweet gesture if my father wasn't a maniac, who looked bloodthirsty as he glared at Nero before fixing his cold gaze on me.




A part of me wanted to sit there and be obedient to Loki, so he wouldn't take out his anger on Nero. But I couldn't because when I looked into Nero's eyes he seemed deadass serious when he commanded, "Get up." 




Slowly, I woke from my seat, striving not to freak out and smile to soften the tension between us. Yet within, I was terrified… afraid of what Loki's next move would be because Nero was openly defiling him.




In the past, if I did something like this, I would be bleeding badly within less than a second because of Loki, and I fear that now the truth about my wolf is out, he might not care that much to consider my feelings or listen to me when it comes to him hurting Nero.




"You don't want to cross me!" Loki uttered in a fierce tone.




Knowing immediately that that was a threat, I squeezed Nero's hand, sinking my teeth into my bottom lip when he met my eyes.




It was so freakin frustrating that of all the times, my wolf chose this moment to mess with me, and I was trying so freaking hard to make a connection with her, but it was of no use because she refused to establish a link with me.




"I am not crossing you. But whoever thinks Blake and Luna fighting to the death would be a fair battle is sick in the head, especially when she had already told you all that her wolf refused to show itself." Nero let out without breaking eye contact with Loki.




Gosh, he was making me panic so freaking bad because I know the full extent of Loki's power, and I have seen what Nero's wolf is capable of doing. 




The last thing I want is these two clashing with each other since someone will die if that happens, and I am not willing to risk Nero's life for mine because even if he did win the fight, he would not leave this room alive.




"You are overstepping your boundary here. You better watch the next filth that comes out of your mouth before I teach you how to properly act in my presence!" Loki uttered, and the thirst to kill was the only aura I felt from him.





"I will fight Luna!"  I blurted out, knowing I was sentencing myself.




"Don't just say any stupid thing that comes to mind!" Nero calmly said, and yet, his expression told me he was annoyed with me.




But I would rather he be irritated with me than him being hurt. So I pulled my hand out of his grip and met his eyes, uttering, "I can feel my wolf now."




The way his brows furrowed at those words made it clear that he didn't believe me. Yet, I wasn't ready to back down just yet, so I raised my shoulders along with my chin and said with confidence, "I want to fight Luna. You should know that she's not something that I can't handle."




The noise that arose after my statement was filled with insults from the elders about my arrogance and insanity, and they were not wrong because that's how I felt too. But I refuse to allow my expression to portray what I was feeling on the inside.




"I will give you credit for being the stupidest bitch I have ever known!" Luna let out as she woke from her seat, throwing me a death stare.




Nothing yet. My wolf was suppressing every bit of connection I am trying to make with her. I guess she really was abandoning me to get my ass whipped by Luna.




With a hint of concern in his eyes, Nero grabbed my hand as I was about to walk away from my seat. But I pulled my fingers out of his grip and mumbled, "I got this."




What a fat lie! My audacity was going to be the death of me, and yet, I was okay with that as long as Nero didn't have to get injured.




After walking away from the table, I approached Luna, holding in my breath with every step I took until we were facing each other. Then I slowly inhaled and mumbled, "Let's do this."





The moment her eyes changed their color, I shut my eyelids, squeezing them tightly.

It didn't take long before I felt her fist collide with my throat with a vigorous force that made me lose gravity, sending me to the floor.




When I landed on my stomach, on the dirty tiles, I gasped for air, coughing aggressively as I choked on my blood, enduring an agonizing pain that surged through my esophagus. 




For a while, my vision was dim, and I felt nausea. So I remained resting on the floor, battling the pain within.




"Get up, bitch! One hit and you have already given up!" Luna scoffed loudly. "How the hell did you even get the chance to hurt Karen if this is the best you can give!?"




Dismissing her words, my lips parted, and I stared at my blood dripping from my mouth onto the floor as I tried to fully regain consciousness.




Finally, I was able to push through the pain, ignoring my tears as they fell to the tile, mixing with my blood, and I stood from the tile.




Even though I tried to avoid Nero's gaze, our eyes locked for a second before I faced Luna, and I tried to prepare myself for her second hit because I still didn't feel my wolf.




Smirking, she folded her finger into a fist as she let out, "I guess I don't have to transform to beat the shit out of you. Also, it will not be a fair fight since you are just a weak bitch!"




Still, there was no connection from my wolf, and at this point, I thought she was forsaking me to my doom. So I shut my eyes again, preparing myself for Luna's second hit. But it felt like forever as I stood there, waiting without feeling anything.
