Page 7 of The Alpha Enforcer and His Dancing Warrior Vol. 2 (Ribbon #10)

Oden took over practically roaring, “You wretched, disgusting creature! You forced your lips on my human ONCE! I would never let it happen again because he was so upset about it. We will NEVER take a chosen Luna. You are not my mate; I don't want you!” My heart settled.

Sierra linked me, “Phil said she’s just an Alexander wannabe. Like Trevor is your wannabe, but he’s so much worse.” I gloated, “I can do something about this one though.” Sierra shot me a look before replying, “Oh boy.”

I touched Xander’s back before assuring him, “It’s ok, Oden.” Oden whirled around and hugged me. He buried his face in the crook of my neck and inhaled deeply. I could feel him calming down. I heard someone ask, “Uhh Alexander? What the hell?”

I looked under Xander’s arm and nearly ran for the hills.

I knew everyone in the group that just came in.

It was Wesley, Buttercup, and her dad… Former Beta Dylan.

The latter looked positively entertained.

He eyed me until I hid back into Xander’s chest, but not before I saw him throw popcorn in his mouth.

Freya chuckled, “The rumors about him were true then.” I replied, “My dad said Beta Dylan always had popcorn and theorized he had a charm placed on his pocket for it. So… that was the rumor. The charm, not that he always had popcorn. That was an undisputed fact.”

Xander pulled back and turned around growling, “Wes, what the fuck is Claire doing here?” Gosh… he was so sexy. Wesley explained, “Her friend found her mate in our pack. She was supposed to be visiting her and definitely not in the gym.”

I quickly sized up Claire and her friends. There were about fifteen of them, sixteen counting Claire herself. She was clearly the Queen Bee. All of them were giving me death glares. Freya scoffed, “I’ll give them a death glare.” I didn’t even bother to glare back at them, I remained impassive.

My lips twitched when I heard more popcorn crunching.

Claire sneered, “I didn’t get your name.

” She was looking directly at me. I raised an eyebrow replying in a bored tone, “Because I didn’t give it to you.

I took your hands off what’s not yours. There wasn’t really much chit chat prior to your pretentious, snobbish self just announcing you were going to be an Alpha’s chosen Luna. ”

Wesley gasped, “She didn’t. Oh god. Alexander, I’m so sorry. She wasn't supposed to be in the gym.” Claire said, “Of course I came to the gym. We heard Alexander was here. He’s always in the gym if he’s here.” I growled, “ALPHA.” She looked at me in shock.

I told her, “You can call him Alpha, or I’ll lay you out on the floor.” Everyone was silent. I heard a few snickers from the Warriors around. Claire snorted, “Who are you? I’m a Warrior’s daughter. You can’t hurt me.” Yeah well, I was a Beta’s daughter .

I laughed mockingly, “Didn’t I already do that?

I swear I did. Samantha, you did see me hurt her, right?

” Phil commented, “I did.” Former Beta Dylan sighed, “Sadly, I missed it. I’m not used to being on the wrong side of a situation.

This MUST be remedied immediately. It ALWAYS happens in this territory. It’s SGAP’s fault, I just know it.”

Claire growled, “I wasn’t ready.” I smirked, “You should always be ready. Being unaware of a threat in front of your face is a callous mistake on your part.” Claire turned red rolling her eyes. She questioned “Who would say that? That’s just stupid.”

Phil snorted, “Alexander has said that. Word for word, in fact. It’s in one of his training videos.” Claire blushed. Xander put his hand on my back. I asked, “Are you really calling an ALPHA of Black Mountain stupid? I mean… you did. In the gym… where he spends all this time.” Everyone growled.

Freya commented, “Way to rile up the pack.” Yeah, well that wasn’t my goal….really. I did know it would happen but really…. I just wanted to embarrass her for being rude to my mate. He was brilliant and his videos changed lives. She was nothing but a ladder climber.

Claire growled, “I challenge you to a fight, you bitch!” I linked Sierra, “Gosh… that was easy. Here I thought it would take effort to goad her into that.” Sierra replied, “Yeah, that wasn’t even on you. Normally, it is because you do in fact goad people.” I knew that.

Xander snarled at Claire. The whole pack seemed to be holding their breath. I laughed, “Sure, Claire, daughter of a Warrior. I accept your challenge.” She smirked, “Me and my friends will take you out.” Sierra scoffed, “Your friends are in this challenge now? What the hell is that?” I didn’t care.

I tapped my chin saying, “Hmm... Sixteen of you. Now that might actually be a challenge for me, but I seriously doubt it.” Freya agreed, “It won’t be.” I knew that based on their muscle mass and past experience.

Former Beta Dylan snorted, “Sixteen people might be a challenge? Do my eyes deceive me or is that girl not a Fairy?” Wesley said, “She’s not.

” Former Beta Dylan cooed, “Well, she’s VERY entertaining for not being a Fairy.

Quite possibly overconfident, but I am HERE for it.

Wolves acting like Fairies, what a time to be alive.

” I was not overconfident at all, but he’d see that soon.

Someone said, “I don’t think she’s overconfident. Do you see that gleam in her eye?” Former Beta Dylan squealed, “GOD, I love it here. It’s a magical territory despite Saint God Alpha Prick’s best efforts.”

Sierra snorted, “She’s not overconfident at all. You just fucked up big time, Claire. That’s Female Lead Warrior Ashley Griffen.” Former Beta Dylan threw his popcorn, then narrowed his eyes on me. It was fine… this was fine… He’d never met me. He couldn’t possibly know who I really was.

Fromer Beta Dylan shrieked, “To quote my goddess, EXFUCKINGCUSE ME?!” I was right…

he never met me…so…it’s fine. Freya hummed.

That was not helpful. Former Beta Dylan continued, “Moody Triplet, what the actual what is happening?! Is it an alternate dimension day? Are we in the Ribbon? YAY! My wishes do come true!”

Xander growled “No, it’s not the Ribbon.” Former Beta Dylan sighed. Claire sneered, “So she’s from some shitty pack, and she’s a wolf less piece of crap shunned by the Moon Goddess wolf doesn’t belong with Alexander.”

I growled, “Use his title you HORRID cow. Get your butt in the ring.” No one would talk about him so disrespectfully in my presence.

Claire snarled, “You have no wolf.” Freya growled, “Let me at her.” I replied, “Nope. She’s all mine.

She doesn’t deserve to know about you.” I didn’t respond out loud.

Claire sneered, “The Moon Goddess herself finds you unworthy.” I snorted, “You already said that. Was I supposed to curl in a ball and cry? Did you hope to see sad tears of sorrow because some HORRIBLE goddess, not worth… anything… literally she’s worthless, doesn’t like me?”

“What is she the goddess of exactly? Sitting on her butt and doing nothing all day? I’m not impressed by her so I could give a crap less what she thinks about me. I don’t care if she didn’t find me worthy of anything… because SHE is not worthy to be worshiped by anyone.”

I heard a bucket, of presumably popcorn, hitting the ground. Several people making noises of shock. Claire gasped, “You can’t say that!” I laughed mockingly, “I think you’ll find I just did. So, I can… obviously. That was obvious. You should work on taking those cues. ”

I turned around to face her knowing her friend was coming up behind me. Well, three of them were anyway. Cowards. I waited. I sighed, “I haven’t got all day, you know? This is a boring challenge.” Claire smirked like she’d won something by standing there.

I flipped her first friend over harder than necessary.

I followed that move up with a karate chop to the throat on the second.

Lastly, I round house kicked the third in the head.

I sighed, “Sneaking up behind me… is lame, and it shows your cowardice. Don’t let her lead you down that path. Get up and get out from her influence.”

I faced Claire, “You don’t deserve to be a Luna leading people that way. Not to mention sixteen on one… after you issued a single challenge for yourself is… gosh… there are too many adjectives to pick… I’ll stick with you’re pathetic.” I heard a laugh I knew.

I looked over and locked eyes with Paisley. She’d come into the gym. I smiled at her and she winked back. Claire growled while I rolled my eyes. I knew another member of their group was sneaking up behind me. I did a back kick, followed by a round house.

I asked her, “Seriously? Do you know the definition of insanity? I know there’s one more person behind me. She should stop.” She did. She said, “I remove my challenge. That I didn’t even issue in the freaking first place.”

I bobbed my head saying, “Well... one out of sixteen of you is smart. Good for you….. statistically speaking that’s below the average so…that’s not good for you all.” Claire growled at the woman, “Traitor.”

I snorted, “You’re not from here… are you? This isn’t your pack… right?” Freya snorted, “We know whose pack she’s from.” I did but I was being evasive to prove a point. Claire shouted, “It will be!” Freya said, “She is LUCKY I don’t rip out of you and RIP her head off.” She definitely was.

I laughed, “No, it won’t be your pack, Claire. You pissed off every Warrior in here when you insulted their Alpha. Over videos he made that ACTUALLY made a difference in our community. They are proud of him, and they should be. He makes a difference. He gives the Alpha name its true meaning.”

Also, she’d be with him over my dead body.

Xander deserved better than this woman. She snorted, “You think he’ll end up with a wolf less girl?

He deserves better.” I didn’t disagree that he deserved better than me, but not because I was wolf less.

Because of what my actions caused to my family.

Freya grumbled, “You are not wolf less.” Also true.
