Story: Mated to Ruin
“Yes.”
“Tsk! What a shame. That video must be incredible.”
“What are you worried about? How many rounds can she survive?”
“Exactly. The later ones will be even better. We won’t lose out waiting.”
“First round winner, Seraphina! Congratulations on obtaining the prize video!”
I close my eyes as my nails dig deep into my palms.
The large screen immediately switches to screenshots from the second video, complete with detailed descriptions.
“The prize for the second duel! Anyone who wants it can come challenge the first round winner!”
The arena erupts with excitement.
“Does this really exist? I have to win. I need to be the first to watch this video!”
Someone steps onto the platform and speaks to me.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk! Who would have thought? You look so pure and innocent, but you’re such a slut in private.”
I glare at him. He immediately bursts out laughing.
“Hey, I love that look! The Alpha doesn’t want you anymore, so come find me instead. As long as you’re willing to spend one passionate night with me, I’ll throw this match. How about it?”
“Get lost. We’re both warriors. I’ll defeat you fair and square.”
My voice is as cold as death. He snorts dismissively.
“Stop pretending! Used goods that everyone’s had their turn with!”
His wolf charged at me. Our wolves fought for nearly ten minutes, tearing and biting each other. Finally, I find an opening and strike hard, using my back claws to break through his defence and my front claws to rip open his abdomen, defeating him.
The host gives me a meaningful smile.
“Second round winner, Seraphina!”
After obtaining the prize video, he smiles at me professionally.
“You’ve already fought two rounds. Will you continue to stay on the platform for the next duel? If you get injured, our arena won’t cover your medical expenses.”
My voice is tired.
“Continue.”
“Ha.”
Before releasing screenshots from the third video, the host’s disdain is evident.
“The prize for the third duel! Anyone who wants it can come challenge-”
“Anyone who wants to challenge me, hurry up and get on here.”
Everyone looks surprised when they hear my voice.
The host turns to face me.
“Luna, your wolf has been injured, and our professional healers have assessed your condition. You can only fight a maximum of two battles per day. Your wolf shouldn’t be able to support you through another match.”
A man winks at me playfully.
“Please, sweetheart? We will let you win.”
I completely ignore them and focus on Talon instead.
He’s looking right at me.
However, his expression contains no hint of help. Instead, his mouth curves in disdain.
Everyone turns to face him.
After all, he is still my mate.
“What are you all staring at me for?”
Talon smiles carelessly.
“I said all prizes go to the duel winners. Those are the arena rules. They don’t need to change just because she’s Luna.”
The men sigh in relief.
“Thank you, Alpha!”
Just then, Aelina, who had been sitting beside him the entire time, raises her hand.
“How about this? For my sake, let Sister Seraphina win this round.”
Talon looks at her. After a moment of surprise, his face lights up with barely concealed amusement.
Aelina looks at me.
“After all, when I was working as the Alpha’s secretary, Seraphina often helped me. I can’t be ungrateful now.”
Talon’s smile deepens as he watches Aelina. His usually cold features appear to melt, like ice thawing. Everyone begins jeering.
“No wonder Alpha likes Aelina! Who wouldn’t love someone so obedient?”
“Aelina’s such a good girl – kind and innocent. She blushes when she hears dirty talk, unlike certain people. Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
“Tsk! What a shame. That video must be incredible.”
“What are you worried about? How many rounds can she survive?”
“Exactly. The later ones will be even better. We won’t lose out waiting.”
