Dimitri's Promise

Chapter 42

Rosalie frowned as she stared out the window, the sky was a dark grey mixed with light grey, rain was pouring down, soaking the ground. It was a gloomy day for a gruesome challenge or challenges.

Dimitri had told her that if he beats all the alphas the males of the pack are allowed to challenge him for the title. It's the same for her, any female from the pack is allowed to challenge her for her title. She didn't like this, not one bit, but she had no choice.

She sighed again before getting up and making her way out of the room. She walked down the empty hall, her mind going crazy with thoughts of what could happen. Her wolf growled at the thought of losing everything she loves, this gave Rosalie a stronger urge to put everyone in their place. She's the alpha female of the pack, she shouldn't be scared of this.

She smiled when Dimitri's arms wrapped around her, sparks ignited at his touch.

"You seem angry." He whispered, kissing her on the neck.

Rosalie released a breath, "I'm going to be pissed if any female tries to take my title."

"The whole pack loves you, if anyone is going to try and take your title it'll be the females who want to screw me every day. Pretty sure they'll be running away if they saw how rough I am."  He replied.

"What about you?" She asked softly.

He was silent for a moment, "You know many males in my pack think they're better than me. I'll have quite a few challenges today."

"You better win."

"I will."

The afternoon came quickly, but Rosalie was prepared. As the saying goes, ladies first, and that's exactly what is happening. The females will fight first.

Dimitri frowned as Nikki stood in the center of the large circle, she stood with pride, her eyes daring anyone to challenge her. Her eyes landed on his mate, they immediately narrowed and darkened with hatred.

Rosalie stopped and kissed him on the lips, he cupped her face.

"Be safe." He whispered before crushing his lips against her's.

They kissed for a while before parting for a breath, she smiled once more at him. She turned around and walked into the middle, glaring at Nikki.

Cheering echoed throughout the yard as the females stood on either side. Dimitri stood off to the side, his hands were clasped behind his back, his eyes were cold and his whole being demanding respect. He looked around before whistling, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

"Now, the rules." He stated.

"This is a fight to death, if Nikki wins then she will replace Rosalie as Luna of my pack and our packs will combine. She will also have to go against any female from my pack that challenges her after."

Growls emitted from the pack, they all had to hold themselves back from protecting their Luna. Rosalie stood tall, her eyes trained on Nikki, challenging her.

"If Rosalie wins she will remain my Luna and Nikki's pack will combine with my pack."

Dimitri looked between them, he gave one more worried look at Rosalie before sighing.

"Begin." He ordered.

Rosalie stood completely still, she loosened her muscles, prepared her body to dodge an attack. She watched as Nikki stood there too, studying her. She had to force herself not to smirk, she knew Nikki would eventually lose her patience.

Sure enough, a few seconds later the she-wolf growled loudly and sprinted towards her. As she went in for her first attack, Rosalie side-stepped her. Nikki barely caught her balance, but before she could turn around Rosalie already had her by the throat. Nikki twisted, trying to escape Rosalie's grip.
