Stretching his body, Adam moves his body in a slow rhythm, his face cold and unblinking. A lot of things runs through his mind, he knew what this ceremony meant and what winning would do for him. Becoming the Alpha would seal his future and Adam wanted nothing more than to be the Guerrero pack. He had it all figured out and everything was going according to his plan until Alexandra decided to take part in the ceremony.
Although Adam was scared of her, he didn't want her to deliberately lose to him. Lifting his eyes spots Alexandra leaning against the door.
"How long have you been there?"
"I just came"
"Working out yet?"
"I'm done, need not bother myself that much"
Adam smiles. "I need it"
Nodding affirmatively, Alexandra advances closer to him.
"This is the day"
"Yea it is, nervous?" He asks
"A little I mean I have to fight a lot of werewolves"
Adam halts and moves closer to her. "you don't have to be nervous. You are stronger than a lot of them out there"
"Thanks. Don't worry Adam, I still remember what we talked about"
"Is alright Alexandra"
"No is not, you are going to be the Alpha and I will help you"
"Really?"
"Of course, there is no better person to lead this pack than you" Alexandra states suppressing the urge to roll her eyes.
If for anything, Adam didn't deserve to lead the pack, he wasn't the Alpha who will the Guerrero pack to become better werewolves, he only cared about the position and not the pack, and Alexandra could see it in his eyes.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure Alexandra"
"Why do you want to be the next Alpha so badly?"
"I've always wanted to be the Alpha since I was a kid"
"Why?"
"I love leading and I have good plans for the Guerrero clan"
"What plans?"
"Only if you are my Luna would you know of such plans"
Alexandra chuckles. "But honestly what plans?"
"We lack a lot of things in this pack, I'm sure you're already aware" Adam grabs a bottle of water, cutting the lid, he gulps it down
"Yes I know, my father was one type of an Alpha"
"Our werewolves need to be like other werewolves in other packs, they need to learn new things and not be stuck up in some ancient teachings"
"Ancient teachings"
"Yes and I will do more for the pack, I will do more than anyone Alexandra"
"I believe you, Adam"
"Thanks now come here and throw punches at me"
Alexandra groans, she wasn't in a for training.
"I can't, so tired" she lies
"Come on Alexandra, are you planning on embarrassing yourself?"
"No"
"Have you ever been training?"
"I'm a werewolf, I don't need to train"
"You need it, at least know how to dodge some blows"
"I do"
"Really? When sparring with me can you dodge it?"
Alexandra gawks at him, lost for words, she was stronger than Adam Hawthorn but without her wolf, Alexandra knew it was going to be difficult to heat the Alpha or rather impossible.
"I can try Adam but you already know the deal"
Without saying a word, Adam had in mind what she was implying.
"Come on let go, try dodging a few blows"
"I'm really tired"
"Fine" Adam exhales, he didn't want to make her exhausted before the fight begins.
"Thanks" Turning around Alexandra tries to walk away when Adam holds her hand and she gazes at him, confused.
"I saw him"
"Who?"
"Him, that Alpha"
"Nathaniel"
"Yes, I saw him here when he walked in"
"I saw him as well, by now he should be with our pack members"
"Did you invite him here? How come he's here" He loosens his grip
"Why are you being inquisitive?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to know why he is here"
"There is an Alpha election ceremony taking place in the pack, does he have any other reason to be here?"
"How did he know about it? Did you invite him?"
"No I didn't and besides, news spread fast, if you can get information about his pack, why won't any other pack know about this ceremony"
"You know what, you are right"
"I don't like it when people ask obvious questions" she turns to walk away when he shoots quickly. "Can you lose in front of him?"
Alexandra looks at him. "Why can't I?"
"I was wondering"
"He may be my mate but Is a fight, there are bound to be winners as well as losers"
"Will you be alright if you lose to me?"
"Yes"
"What about him?"
"Nathaniel isn't like that, he knows the rules in games and fights"
Adam gives her a suspicious look. "You sound so sure about him"
"I know Nathaniel, maybe not like everyone else but I know the real him and the facade he puts up"
"What facade?"
"Is nothing, you should k to your training"
"I'm tired, isn't it time?"
"In thirty minutes and my father hasn't arrived so I think that's what's holding up"
"He's not the type to be late to an event, especially an important one like this one"
"You sound so sure about him"
"Your father and I are friends Alexandra"
"Well yes but you seem a lot close"
"We are and you know it"
Alexandra smiles showing her pearly white teeth. "The quicker he arrives, the faster we can get this done with"
Adam laughs, he wasn't scared at all, this could drag on and on but one thing he was certain is that he is going to be the Alpha and nothing was going to stop him.
