Chapter 52

I stepped back from him and brought my fist across his face. If he really thought, I would take this crap he had another thing coming. He squared off. We looked at each other. He had an arrogance about him and thought he was so big and powerful.

He moved to swipe my leg, but I jumped up evading it. He then went to punch me. He connected with my gut. I stumbled for a second and he went in for another strike. I moved with just enough time to hit him as I side stepped. I then did a round house, and this seemed to anger him more than anything.

People began to stream out of the building to find out what the commotion was. I could see the smirk on Taylors lips. He wanted to not only put me in place he wanted to humiliate me. He went in and bent down and punched my knee. I almost fell over at the contact. But moved away from him.

I went to punch him, but he sidestepped. I spun around so I was facing him. I didn’t want to have my back to him for a second. He went on the offensive again. I moved and got a hit in on his back. He had a wicked grin on his face.

What was he planning? Next thing I saw was a huge blond wolf. He was running towards me I braced for impact. His face collided with my chest. I grabbed the beast's muzzle. It took both hands on top and bottom of the snout to keep the mouth closed. He began to thrash around. Making me loose balance and trip. I held on to the muzzles though. But he had gotten in a few scratches.

I thought I had it under control when he quickly moved his head up and I lost my grip. He went into bite. But, thinking quickly I slid under him. I began to punch as hard as I could. I kicked and knew I landed a strong kick to the wolfs nuts.

Then he backed away a bit trying to gain composer. While he wobbled, he lashed out cutting me with his claws. When there was enough space, I took the time to hop on his back. I grabbed on to the ears and pulled. I used my strength and pulled putting my spine to his. This worked and he toppled over from behind.

It was a risky move as I was crushed as well. But underneath the beast I kicked the spine making the wolf howl. He was in pain. He moved off and wobbling he faced me once again. I ran and landed a strong punch to his face. He moved his face at the impact.

I continued to punch and punch blow after blowing my fists where bleeding heavily from hitting his jaw. He transitioned back into a man. He went in for a blow which connected. I stumbled and he slowly walked to hit me again. He got his multiple hits in. I moved close to him where he kneed me in the gut. I grabbed his shoulders and jumped a bit and headbutted him. He lost his balance and as he stumbled back, I kicked him again between his legs.

At this he fell forward. On his knees. I squatted down pulling his hair back. I whispered in his ear. “You were right I am strong.” Then I start to use my other hand not holding him to punch and punch. MY hands wear aching. I let go and stepped back and he just fell. I had knocked him out cold.

I was exhausted. Fighting an alpha was a huge undertaking. Especially when they transition into their wolf. My now beautiful appearance was gone. My red curls where all over the place. MY dress was ripped to shreds. I was covered in scratches and bruises. My hands where bleeding. As were many parts of my body.

I finally looked up to see everyone looking at me. My pack members looked proud of me, and I could hear them in my head cheering for me. The Sun pride pack was red in anger. They were ashamed that their alpha could not beat me. That he was lying unconscious behind me. The Gemstone packs faces where pure shock. I looked for Hayden he was standing next to Monroe.

He had a look of pride and that was also upset. Monroe then burst out laughing. He slapped Hayden on the back. And rather loudly said. “Well Hayden you have one hell of a Luna.” and the continued to laugh. A few others joined him, but Hayden kept his eyes on me.

I slowly made my way to where they were all standing. I looked at Sean. “Please make sure Taylor gets to the clinic.“ Then I walked up to Hayden. I met his gaze. He just looked at me. Everyone was watching to see what our exchange would be.

With him not saying anything I was frustrated. “What?” He didn’t respond so I shoved past him. Hitting my shoulder against his arm. I know it was disrespectful, but I didn’t care. I was tired and needed to get a shower. I probably would need to see the doctor as I was sure my ribs where broken.

Ever since my encounter with the hunters. It took me much longer to heal. It was due to how much silver I had ingested. I would be fine but instead of my body healing right way it would take up to two weeks sometimes to heal all the way. Sometimes depending on the injury, it could take a few hours. But ribs I know would at a minimum take three days, max would be two weeks.

I pushed through the crowd. I just wanted to get to my room take a hot shower and go to bed. I slowly made my way to the room. When I got there, I pulled off my shoes. My feet had blisters. I had expected to dance and stand in them, but fighting was something they were not intended for.

I stripped out of my tattered dress. I walked over to the mirror. I was covered in bruises and fresh cuts. I didn’t even care at this point I just wanted to hurry up and get into bed. I hoped in the shower and made quick work of cleaning myself. I was still bleeding in some places when I got out of the shower. I didn’t care. I went and got a t-shirt out. I slipped it on. I pulled on a fresh pair of panties and slowly climbed in the bed.

I was surprised Hayden had not come up into the room yet. But, not trying to think about that too much right now I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I was awakened by a door slamming. I opened my eyes and sat up to find a very angry Hayden looking at me.
