Claiming The Hidden Alpha✔️

Chapter 42

Erica

It saddened my heart as I watched my mate fighting in a duel. My heart hurts as I stare at him in the ring, unable to do a thing. I would have gotten into the ring by now to stop the duel if I had the power. I don't have the power or the authority to question the council of the werewolf and it hurt me. This would be the first time I would be wishing I had more power and authority over some set of people. I haven't for once thought of being part of the werewolf councils but I now do.

I knew that if I was one of the werewolf council or probably the head of the werewolf council then I would have stopped this fight. I knew that things won't be easy but I didn't expect what I was seeing. My dad had reassured me that he would definitely win the fight and I was rest assured at first not until I saw what was happening inside the ring. I was seated with those with high authority and same with some alpha's, and I was given a clear view of what's happening. I could feel my eyes almost bulging out in shock. My heart was racing as I saw him go against one of my pack warriors.

It hasn't come to me that one of my pack members wanted to be with me. I knew that none of them have the guts to propose their love to me or say it to my ear. I should have known that the particular warrior had his eyes on me but couldn't say it because I was his alpha. I knew that he must have taken this as an opportunity to propose his love, and I knew that this will also apply to other alpha's who aren't interested in talking to me about their feelings until now. I knew that many more of my warriors would still be interested in me but didn't have the mind to go into the ring to fight.

They all knew that I don't like cowards who fail to show his or her prowess and me seeing them getting defeated is one of it. I knew that somewhere I was afraid of getting defeated in front of others and most especially because they knew they wouldn't be able to stand against Alpha's. They knew that winning against an alpha isn't easy, none of them have ever tried getting in a duel with me. I only have duels with my beta and gamma, they are the ones who I have always had duels with.

"Alpha," I heard Victoria's voice from behind and I turned to look at her with raised eyebrows.

"You don't need to get worked up, things would definitely happen the way the moon goddess wants, there is no way the moon goddess would want you both apart even after pairing the both of you together. All you have to do is put fate in him," I heard her whisper into my ear and I sighed heavily while nodding my head to her words.

"Thanks, I feel better" I said as I stared at her with a thankful smile on my face. I turned to look at Jerome only to see him engaging in a fight with the warrior. I felt my heart almost jump out of my chest as I saw him being beaten by the warrior. I felt my throat go dry and all I could think of at that moment was to find ways to cancel the duel. I knew that he might be hurt while fighting but I wasn't expecting all this.

I knew things won't go as I had planned in my head. I planned it out that he won't be hurt while fighting and the only thing that will happen while the duel is still on us is nothing but him winning against them all even though I knew that he had no strength to that extent. I knew that he can't take on me even though I'm lenient but I thought he would be able to go against them. I sighed heavily, almost close to tears, as I watched his face being battered by the warrior. My eyes were filled with tears which were at the brim of falling down, when I saw him get back on his feet.

I was glad for that but I don't know what would happen. The crowds were going crazy while shouting and chanting for the warrior to win. I knew that there was no way he would be able to beat an alpha in a duel without anybody's help, and I doubt if he will be able to win against the warrior he was fighting against. I knew that this might seem like I'm degrading my mate but it isn't, I have made some calculations on who he can win against, and who he can't win against.

I knew that if it was others that their face was being battered then the person would have given up but he didn't that I fear that he might get killed. I knew that he wouldn't give up so easily, and that is what I feared, I knew that he won't be able to fight them off and might end up losing his life. I knew that fighting an alpha isn't going to be easy and he might get killed during that.

My heart was beating rapidly as I stared at him as he carried the pack warrior throwing him out of her ring. I knew that was the only thing that can happen for anybody to win easily and I doubt if the Alpha's would give him the chance. I knew that the Alpha's would want to humiliate him in front of the whole pack to see how weak my mate is. I knew they wouldn't throw him out of the ring but instead they would want him to give up and I knew that he wouldn't , which might have cost him his life.

I knew that things won't end up as easily as I thought. My eyes were frowned with no expectations for my mate. I knew that if he was to back down during a fight it won't be good, and I won't be happy about it and more sad. If he was to continue and end up being killed during a fight then it would hurt me and I would never forgive whoever the person is. I would make sure I fight the person and make the person pay.

"Jerome won the fight," I heard the head of the council declare and I was about walking toward him when I saw the pack warrior whom he just won the fight against. He whispered some things into his ear and I felt his body stiffens. I knew they whatever he said to him isn't something pleasant but as I was about to walk to him when I heard the voice of the head of the council saying; "You should get ready for the next fight, remember it's two per person, you can get the rest you want after the second fight"

My heart suddenly froze for a moment, and my eyes glazed over not knowing what to do or say. My heart starts pounding heavily and my feet feel heavy to carry. I knew that this was how the duel should be carried out but I had no problem with it at first not until now. I can see that he needs to rest to be able to recuperate but it doesn't look like he would get one soon. I felt my heart seize working and I turned to look at the head of the werewolf council with a disdainful look in my heart.

I could feel myself hating the head council, and I stared at him with hatred. I walked back to my seat dejectedly with a sad look on my face. I knew that there was a slim chance of him winning against an alpha. My eyes were red with anger as I couldn't help but feel toward the head of the council. I feel that he was doing all this purposely, and he turned to look at me with a smirk.

"Alpha Erica agreed to that, you should get into the ring," I heard him say to Jerome who looked like someone whose color had been drained from his body. His body looked pale and the only thing which made his body lively was the blood which spilled on his lips. His eyes were weak and I could feel that he was fighting to stay conscious. He turned to look at me with a disbelief look on his face which soon morphed into anger.

I knew that he must have been angry for what he just heard and I couldn't help but feel guilty for what I did. Victoria turned to look at me with wide eyes and I felt more guilty for that. I knew that all this wouldn't have happened if I had checked all the procedures of the duel. I knew for a fact that things wouldn't have turned out like this if I hadn't been careless. My heart ached as I saw the way I was being stared at by my parents.

"It wasn't intentional, I agreed to every procedure without reading through it" I said with a sad look on my face. I had thought that the procedures weren't bad and that it would bring no harm to Jerome not until I saw what just happened. I happened to glance through it and I accepted without thinking. I had thought that it only had to do with him being scared of letting me film into the wrong hands.
