Beauty And The Bad Boy

Chapter 21: Roses Are Dead

*Kaden's P.O.V*

Blindfolds covered my eyes and my hands were tied and feet were tied. I could hear the battle horns sounding and the loud cheers of the crowd. The closer I was guided to the crowd, the louder it got.

"Ready for battle, you son of a bitch?" One of the members whispered in my ear.

"Go fuck yourself." I replied.

I heard them chuckle, then felt myself being thrown to the ground.

"Ah, Kaden. I'm glad you came on time," Kenneth began. "This will be very interesting. "

"Why is that?"

"Because this battle to the death."

"Surprise, Surprise," I say sarcastically. Then, I realized what he had actually said. Not only will he try to kill me, but his own brother. "You're willing to kill your own brother. Pathetic."

"I'll do anything to gain power. Besides, I think you should be worried about yourself considering you'll be wearing those restraints throughout the competition. "

"You fucking bastard. Let me out!" I yelled.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Blood Moon Pack," Kenneth ignored my comments and raised his voice to the crowd. "Today is the day where one of us will take full responsibility as Alpha and claim the soon-to-be Luna of this pack. However this may go, this pack will be the most powerful out there. This battle will be to the death and of course whoever comes out alive will be Alpha. These are my two competitors: My half-brother and my step-brother. It will be an honor fighting against them. Any words, Blair?" Kenneth asked.

"First of all, brothers, I just want to say it'll be an honor winning---I mean, battling against you two as well. And as we go on to battle, I promise to make your death quick and painless." Blair said.

Kenneth gave a dark laugh. "You are very cocky for someone as foolish as yourself."

"We'll see about that when my hands are covered in your blood." Blair retorted.

"Is there something you have to say, Kaden?" Kenneth asked.

I felt myself being lifted off the ground. The loud cheers and applause got lower until it was completely silent and even though I couldn't see, I felt that all eyes were on me.

"You all are in danger. It doesn't matter if you're on his side, he'll still try and ruin your lives. He'll take the people you love. Can't you all see that there's a monster right front of you? He's the reason. Save yourselves. Run---" I felt myself being thrown on the ground again.

"Isn't he a rebel? Am I right?" Kenneth laughed and the audience follows laughing along with him.

"Does it look like i'm fucking joking? I'm serious! What is wrong with you people?" I say struggling to my knees only to be knocked back down again and have my face in the ground. I could tell I was close to a big, camp fire because I began to sweat and felt myself burning. The burning from the fire made the pain and anger from not having Isabella stop for a millisecond, then come back again.

My heart continued to hurt but I was determined to win. My face was being pushed down further into the ground from what I believed was his shoe pressing into the back of my skull.

"Let the battle begin." He said pushing my face into one last time before he moves away. I turned myself so that I was lying to the side. I got kicked in the stomach and realized that both Alpha Kenneth and Blair were kicking me repeatedly. I coughed up blood and gasped for air. I felt them moving away from me again.
