Chapter 30: *…finally get to display her strength…”
Abea thought about those long ago words from het mother. One of the reasons she was sure it was complete and utter bullshit, was because Luna Ember personally delivered her. Lona Ember had seen her birthmark, it was documented in Alera’s birth profile.
Another reason was that her mark had been exposed again to Luna Ember, and by chance Alpha Andrew, Dumien, and Darien. All of them knew of Alors birthmark. None of them said it was ugly, and none of them had any adverse reaction to it.
Alors decided it did not matter and refused to hide herrell away anymore. As far as she was concerned, everything that spewed from Bettina, Allister and Sarah’s mouths was nothing but lies. With that in mind, Alora’s text back to Bettina was deliberately inflammatory
“My fight class and rank are the very last one you would expect, Alora looked up to watch her parents after she sent that message to Bettina.
Alora was rewarded at once, as her text had the effect she was going for. Bettina looked like steam would come out of her ears and foam out of her mouth any second now. It made her laugh, they were so angry at that moment, and there was nothing they could do,
Darien, who had been seeing all this, leaned down and asked in a tone that was both amused and serious, “Wouldn’t it be great if they would lose all their composure in public and fully reveal themselves for the pieces of shit they are?”
Alora smiled widely and laughed and said, “I’m hoping to anger them so much that they blow a fuse or two.”
Darien leaned back and laughed. “That would be great to see.”
“Hey, hey you two, share in the fun.” Garrett said, “What are you two laughing so much over there?”
Alora, thinking that the cat was already out of the bag, pointed in the direction of Bettina and Allister and said, “We’re discussing how I’m attempting to make my horrible parents so angry they expire on the spot.”
As one, all the Alpha Class fighters looked in Bettina and Allister’s direction. Mason was the first one to start laughing. “If your goal is to make them expire from their anger, I believe you are very near success.”
“I would have to agree with mon ami on this ma chéri.” Jamison said, smiling in his own amusement.
“I feel they deserve it.” laxon said, glaring at Bettina and Allister, he clearly did not like them.
“Agreed,” Lexus said beside him.
“Horrible beings will eventually have a horrible end.” Garrett said in a serious tone,
“On a brighter note, have any of you seen the number of challenges we’ve received from the Beta Class fighters?” Mason asked.

mitation, and the kirk on his face was dark. “Dann little buggers think they can win against me * He growled. “They better
Aloes was no less imitated than Darien and it showed in her own expression. “I think I’m going to run out of song choices.”
“Mosbe we could pick the same one for each challenge” Jaxon proposed, looking at his phone with a deep frown on his face.
“With as many times your phone has just dinged with challenges, please don’t.” Lexus said in a serious tone.
“I agree with Levis, we would come to hate you after the third time the same song played.” Garrett added.
Jason’s expression twisted a bit, before he growled out. “Then I hope nobody minds medieval metal or medieval instrumental music, cause that’s all that’s on my current playlist”
“Well, mes amis, we all better hurry and choose our music, the Reserve Class challenges, while many, were over quickly. Many Reserve Class fighters are now in the Enforcer Class fighter rank. Only a few have moved to the Scout Class fighter rank; Jamison told them all.
Everyone looked up and confirmed what Jamison had just said, the Scout Class rank advancement challenges were now starting. Looking at the list, you could see an almost fifty, fifty split of those wanting to advance into the Enforcer Class fighter rank and the Delta Class fighter rank.
It made sense really, this was the year that your body had their most dramatic changes, especially among the males. Many originally weaker beings were now much stronger than they were at the beginning of high school.
Now that Alora was thinking about it, her original annoyance over the many challenges she had just received was gone. Alora had wanted to stop hiding away, she wanted to show everyone the real her and wanted to finally break the chains her family had on her.
Alora wanted her family to know just how powerful she really was, and that they cannot ever touch her anymore, all these challenges would be the perfect way to do that. These thoughts had her smiling in anticipation. Inside, Xena was also happy, she would finally get to display her strength today.
Alora took her phone back out of her pocket, looking through all the challenges she had received. At first Alora wondered if all these challenges had something against her, then she remembered one of the ways you could issue a challenge was by Fight Class and Rank. The challengers did not have to know who Alora was, they just wanted to challenge her Fight Class Rank
Alora looked at the names and their fighter profiles, after a moment she would carefully select a song that she felt would fit for that challenge.
Damien sighed and ran a hand through his hair after he hung up with his father Damien was no longer as aptated as before, he felt a little better. He had gotten to hear his Starlight’s voice and would be able to hear it again tonight. His Starlight had decided to break out of her shell finally.
Damien was glad his parents and brother were there for her at this moment when he could not be. Stuffing his phone in his pocket, Damien ran another hand through his hair and relaxed his shoulders.
“Feeling better after making your calls? Xander asked him, a hint of amusement in his tone.
Damien turned away from the window and looked at Xander with a narrow eyed expression. Xander let out a low and nervous sounding laugh as he looked at that glare. Xander lowered his head and raised his hands up in surrender.
“Who told him to be such a grouch that can’t even take a joke. “Xander complained to Darius
Darius growled at his humanoid. “Who told you to annoy our Alpha?! I would like to keep my flesh on my bones, thank you very much!”
Xander grumbled at his wolf. “Oh shut up.”
“Come on Xander, time to go take the first of our final exams.” Damien said, after watching the amusing show of surrender from Xander.
Xander let out a groan and got up from his seat. “The only bright side to these dam n tests is it means we are one day closer to getting out of here and back home.”
Damien let out a soft chuckle. “I can agree with you there, enough grumbling, out the door with you.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Xander replied walking to the door and opening it, Damien following behind him.
“The sooner we get those tests done, the sooner we can get back here.” Damien reminded him, then added. “But that doesn’t mean the bare minimum to pass.”
Xander gave Damien an annoyed look. “You want me to go all out, don’t you?”
“Yes, we are here to be the best of the best. I am to eventually be the Alpha of Alpha’s, and you are my Beta. This means you must be the absolute best Beta.” Damien lectured him.
Xander grabbed the back of his neck and looked up at the hallway ceiling, letting out a sigh he muttered. “Da m ned need for meeting high expectations.”
Damien let out another chuckle of amusement at his friend’s words. Damien also knew that despite his grumblings, Xander wouldn’t allow himself to come in second to anyone but him. In Xander’s mind, if Damien was the best Alpha, then he had to be the best Beta.
are you anxious about Alora’s fights today?” Xander asked, pushing open the door to exit their dormitory.
Chapter 30: *…finally get to display her strength…”
The sounds of different birds waking up and singing their unique songs were all around them. Damien looked at Xander, the sunlight glancing off their eyes made it look like they were glowing. Under the light, the gold and white blond highlights of Xander’s hair glitter, and the dark blue highlights of Damien’s hair appeared.
There were several females nearby, and all of them sighed at the sight of the two most wanted males on campus. Each of these females were lamenting never having been able to spend even one night in either Damien or Xander’s bed. The females also envied the future mates of these two males, knowing that they would both be absolutely devoted to whoever was fated to them.
Damien shook his head, a smile curling up one side of his mouth. “No, I’m not worried.”
Xander gave Damien a wide eyed look, then exclaimed, “Wha?! why not?!”
