his pack and rule the area. We will be unstoppable”, replied Michael. The crowd starts yelling and cheering for him. Michael drops to all fours and starts the change into a werewolf. His bones start dislocating and twisting with the change taking over. The fur covers him from head to tail. He is a black wolf with gray on his chest. The other wolves around the circle follow suite and change into wolves also. Michael walks over to Ava and bears his teeth at her. A voice comes from out of the woods. Get away from my mate Michael. Tristan, Zane, and Christian have arrived. If it is a fight that you want then it is a fight you are going to get,” replied Tristan. Michael grabs Ava by the shoulder with his teeth and bits down drawing blood. Ava screams out in pain and collapses on top of the boulder. “I will kill you Michael”, replied Tristan. “She has not accepted you as her mate Tristan. She has not taken the final step to become your mate. I have as much right to claim her as my mate as you do. Once you are dead she will be my mate”, replied Michael. I will see you dead before that happens, replied Tristan. Tristan falls down on all four and lets the change take over him. Michael attacks Tristan before the change has completely takes effect. They go rolling round on the ground biting each other. Christian and Zane tell the other wolves to stay back and let the two of them fight it out. Michael has broken Pack Law by biting Tristan’s mate. Tristan grabs Michael’s shoulder with his teeth and throws him into a tree. Off to the corner a big flash light appears and two objects appear. It is Jeffery and Lily. They walk up to the circle and raise their hands creating a light causing all the other wolves to cower down to the ground in submission. Tristan grabs Michael by the throat and begins to squeeze with his teeth. Lily flashes over beside them and stands before Tristan. “The decisions you make here today will affect the outcome of the future to come. You must right all the wrongs and take the high road to be an effective leader. Your father would be proud of you Tristan. You are a true leader,” replied Lily. Tristan drops Michael to the ground and stand over him. “Michael I am going to spare your life here today. I cannot let my personal feeling over rule the bigger issue at hand. I cannot allow you to destroy our race with your greedy needs. You are to leave the country and never return or you will be killed on site. Do you agree Michael”, replied Tristan? Michael cowers down to the ground and shakes his head in agreement and backs away. Tristan turns to walk away and Michael lunges for him. Tristan turns and grabs him by the neck and snaps it in half. Michael falls limp to the ground. Tristan begins the process to change back into a human. He stands up and walks over to Ava. She is lying limp on the boulder with blood dripping down on the rock. Ava can you hear me sweet heart, asked Tristan? She barely shakes her head. “I need you to take my blood love. You are going to die if you don’t take it. I need to complete the mating ritual so you can survive. Are you alright with this,” replied Tristan? Ava nods her head and gasps for air. Tristan bits down on his wrist and lets the blood pour into her mouth. He takes his other arm and holds her up to his mouth. He lets her drink for a few minutes then bites into her neck causing her to spasm in his arms. He lets her fall back into his arms as he carries her to one of the cabins to let her rest. Zane runs over to Elaina and frees her from her restraints and gathers her in his arm. She embraces him as she crushes her mouth to his. He carries her into the house and places her next to Tristan. Lily and Jeffery walk in the door and stand next to everyone. She will be alright Tristan. You did the right thing concerning Michael. You will prevail from this disaster and come out an even better leader. Teach those that are lost and teach them the ways of the pack.
