[2] Little Miss Luna.

2.03

Sophie woke up this early Tuesday morning like she had too many times during this summer break. She was being dropped from Cortez's arms, woke up as she fell, and felt her body smack against the hard mats beneath her. Sophie groaned in pain, gripping the side of her head where it had hit the mat, her shoulder and hip also stinging from the impact. Already, she could hear obnoxious cheering from the crowd around her.

"Good morning, Gorgeous." Cortez jumped down from the ring and reached passed the ropes to land a hard smack on Sophie's ass.

Sophie cried out in pain and turned on to her back to shoot Cortez a glare. He flashed the smuggest grin he could muster as he stepped back to join the crowd gathered around the ring. Again, like too many times before, Sophie was sat in the fighting ring with wolves stood all around to watch and a warrior inside the ring with her. This time, it was Trevor, which was good since he was the sweetest and most gentle warrior she had met.

"I haven't even eaten yet, Cortez!" Sophie yelled but the footsteps to her right made her turn to see Trevor charging at her.

As Trevor reached to grab her, Sophie spun on her butt to face Trevor. He didn't stop charging so she simply raised her feet and let him run into them, using his momentum to bend her knees and then push to send him flying. Trevor was shot towards the other end of the ring until he hit the ropes and his heavy body dropped to the hard mats of the ring. Sophie huffed in annoyance and pushed to her feet.

"It's not a fair fight like this! I just woke up, I haven't eaten, I haven't stretched!" Sophie yelled over all the cheering to Cortez.

"Come on, baby! You're the one that wanted to train! A strong warrior doesn't have to eat before a fight!" Cortez yelled back as everyone cheered and chanted.

Sophie flipped Cortez her middle finger, which he received with a smile. Her attention was pulled back to Trevor as she felt the ring shake. He was charging at her again, this time swinging a fist at her face. Sophie blocked with her forearm and was quick to do so again as he swung from the other angle. Before he could do another attack, Sophie kicked at him again. Her foot collided with his thigh and his legs buckled as he cried out in pain. She had definitely cracked something.

Since Trevor was halfway down and distracted by his injury, Sophie grabbed his arm and spun around him, pinning it to his back and pushing him to the ground. Sophie was atop of him and pinning his arm painfully against his back in a matter of seconds. It took a moment of grunting and enduring the pain before Trevor finally tapped out.

The cheering got impossibly louder and Sophie threw her arms up in triumph, a huge smile on her face as she looked at all her pack members cheering her on. Cortez casually clapped from the sidelines as he watched his mate run around the ring and high five the wolves reaching into the ring. Through the chaos, Cortez nudged the wolf beside him and nodded once towards the ring.

Kano stepped forward and grabbed Trevor to pull him out of the ring. Cortez caught him before he collapsed, since his leg was still injured. Kano slipped into the ring in Trevor's place and rolled his shoulders to prepare for the fight. Sophie had no idea there was another person in the ring until the cheering died down and everyone lowly ooh'd at the sight of Kano preparing to fight their Luna.

Sophie whipped around and spotted Kano on the other side of the ring, all her happiness and triumph falling into annoyance once again. She flashed a pout at Cortez but he did nothing but fold his arms over his chest and cockily shrug. Sometimes, she regretted ever bringing up the fact that she wanted to train with the warriors. Luckily, the fact that she was a Luna gave her enough power to pull off the moves she learned from the warriors. Otherwise, this would be a lot harder.
