Alpha Vincent

Chapter 1

The girl was so much smaller than me, and that was saying something. I stood 5'2 and she was 4'11, Susan was a rogue before joining the pack and I wasn't sure if that meant she knew how to spar or not but I got cocky and was convicted even with a sprained hand, my formal training I acquired from the pack would be enough.

Lily, who was going to be supervising the fight kept looking at me as if it wasn't. "No shifting, first one out of the circle loses" annoyingly announcing the two rules I've heard every fight. She was no official pack trainer if she was, the fight wouldn't happen, but as my friend training to be one, she would, of course, make sure no one cheated.

I never understood why we practice inside a circle as if in real life, fighting an enemy they're going to stop their swing to pull out a stick of caulk and draw boundaries. Male wolfs can shift during a fight without being disqualified, the rules should be the same for she wolfs, fuck their hormonal imbalances. Susan seemed to feel the same way, rolling her brown eyes and pulling her red hair in a ponytail but it looked more like a bun the way her hair bunched together. I was ready, my feet planted firmly on the cool wet grass. 

"Begin" Lily's voice echoed as she herself moved out of the way

"Lily for fuck's sake, the pack" I turn to her, she was being loud and if caught we'd all be on guard duty or worse and most likely, the kitchen. Even if everyone was inside because of the rain there were, of course, still a few pack guards out, and if close or alert enough they could have heard us, well Lily.

Susan threw a punch, not a bad one either.

Lily was about to yell and give her a strike but I stopped her and said "Begin"

We observed each other with intense stares, suddenly I tripped her with my leg which caused her to fall face first when she brought her face up I could see the blood dripping from her nose and wet dirt sticking to her face. I felt guilty and against my better judgment I extended my hand out for her to take, and she took it, pulling me down with her and grabbing the earth throwing it in my eyes.

They stung and watered as I tried and failed to open them. Luckily, I still felt her, she was still on top of me. I sprung my fist away from my face and made contact with hers, Hard and flipped her under me. My wolf was very proud of this but I couldn't hold Susan there long unable to land any punches without my vision and her dodging them. Not thinking I used my sprained hand hurting it as it made contact with the ground, and to make things worse Susan held it there crushing it between her elbow and the ground, and 2 landing punches with her other fist trying to get me to give up my only advantage of being on top. The metallic taste of blood set my wolf into a rage.

I gave up trying to pry off her elbow and made my free hand useful by throwing soil into the direction of her face, she cussed under her breath and released her pin on my arm. Relieved that she didn't get the chance to break it, at least I hoped it wasn't. Broken or not it was in agony, I felt the warm blood rushing to the damage underneath and held it as I felt her trying to get the dirt out of her eyes, reminding me I should be doing the same while she was busy. Taking the fabric of my white t-shirt color trying to wipe away the tears and open them, although very irritated my luck had it so that they able to open without filling with liquid. I got off of Susan, not needing to be close to her now that I knew where she was in the circle.

I try to calm my wolf, not trying to kill this girl. She sat up cautiously realizing her attempt to open her eyes wasn't going to work. My eyes look to Lily who was standing three feet from the circle as trained, her blue eyes warning me not to lose control. but I don't think I listened.

I went up to her and kicked her in the stomach twice, sending her back on the ground. I heard all the air escape her lungs but I was seeing red and unsatisfied.
