Brutal Battle

Andrea’s POV

This bitch!

She keeps on closing our distance knowing that I’ll be having a hard time summoning my bow.

“Do you think you’ll ever beat me?” I chuckled before using my nails as an attack.

She froze for a moment and decided to step away from me. Good for you, do you think that you’ll outsmart me? I am a Vertina for a reason. Victory and prestige runs in my blood, no one in the dagger family will have a chance against me.

I clenched my fist when she threw another dagger that almost scratched my beautiful face. Good thing that I have a speed that no one can beat.

Because of the distance between us, I was able to aim at her filthy arm that tried to harm this beautiful face of mine.

”SHIT!”

I smiled with satisfaction when she screamed out of pain the moment my arrow planted on her left arm. She immediately removed my arrow from her arm which made her winced in pain even more. You deserved that, bitch. You should have surrendered before this match.

Her anger surfaced after my attack. I am impressed that she’s not ready to give up. My arrows are poisonous; she might not be feeling it right now but she’ll regret it later. I laughed at her expression, I could see that she is furious. I could feel the dopamine rushing over me with the sight of the blood dripping from her face and arm. What a sight…I want to see more.

I summoned my bow again and aimed for her shoulder. Bull’s eye!

She screamed again in pain which made me starved for something more. I want her to feel pain until she’ll lose her hope and surrender in this match. I’m too strong for you, you can’t possibly beat an exceptional wolf who is meant to reign this land.

When I looked at the arbiter, she immediately run towards me. I was not able to move into different position because I was busy looking at the other direction. Too bad, I was able to sway my body to dodge her dagger that was aiming for my chest.

How dare you to play dirty?! I suddenly felt the urged to cut her neck into two. What a dirty tactic just to have a chance to beat me… I immediately grabbed her right arm and pointed my sharp nails in her neck. She can’t fight anymore, with the arrows that have landed on her, her dominant hand will be temporarily paralyzed. I can’t help but laugh at her. I will surely put an end to your life.

I swung my right hands up high to prepare to cut her neck…but just when I am about to reached her neck, I saw Xylo above directly looking at me with his intense death glare. I felt my heartbeat stopped. My body froze and I was not able to continue my attack…

Clary POV’s

I shut my eyes when I heard the opponent of my sister screamed in pain because of the arrow in her shoulder. It must have been stinging, it must be intolerable.

When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see that Andrea’s opponent closed the gap between them and that she is being held by Andrea. My sister pointed her sharp nails in her opponent’s neck. Looking at Andrea’s expression, it was much more intense than the one she showed me yesterday. Her eyes are dark, ready to take the life of her opponent…Her expression is sinister, it is terrifying.

But, when she’s about to cut her neck, she suddenly stopped. Her opponent slumped on the floor as my sister’s hand let go of her. Or should I say that she slipped out of my sister’s hand. Because based on my observation, Andrea froze for few seconds. It was like she realized something. Unable to move her body, her attacked was not accomplished.

I sighed in relief that my sister did not continue her attack. However, it is so unlikely. I have watched various attacks of Andrea; she is always aiming for the life of her opponent. One time, a wolf from another pack tried to enter our territory…and I witnessed how brutal she is.

The arbiter has decided that Andrea, my sister, had won this duel. She does not look happy, though. I can’t understand her expression but I know that she is not happy with this duel. Something must have been bothering her.

I bit my lip. She is really strong; she will kill anyone as long as it stands in her way. I am still terrified with the thoughts that she will really end my life.

“A Vertina, indeed…” said by the woman earlier.

The man nodded, “a perfect mate for the alpha.” He said without any doubt or hesitation.

I suddenly felt a sting in my heart, unable to accept the fact that the mate that I was supposed to have is meant for another wolf…my own sister. I sighed, I will probably get used to this feeling. Something must have been wrong with me when I felt that the alpha is really my mate. Alpha Xylo deserves someone who can be a match for his abilities. Andrea is a perfect fit, for that case.

I should start forgetting all the emotions and even body responses whenever I see him. I should avoid him at all costs. Making eye contact or any other interaction with him will only fuel both my mom’s and sister’s anger. For now, all I should think of is to avoid triggering them.

The next match had started but I cannot organize my thoughts in order to assess the movements and strategies of other participants. The only thing that is running my mind is the worry of being hurt by my own blood. I couldn’t get a hold of harming your own family.

‘Cordia, do you think Andrea will harm us?’ I asked out of worry.

‘She will, soon…” She responded with a serious tone.
