Moonlight Kiss

46. The Sparring Contest.

[Mason]

After the lunch we had with the panthers, we became really close and our business began to go very well, their women were brought to the pack hospital for checkups and our doctors were working on treatments to increase their fertility and reduce the risk of miscarriages.

Pierce and I got really close and we even shared stories of how we survived the different wars, Pierce looked like he was in his early thirties but I knew that he was very old, a hundred years old at least and his sister was a bit younger than his was, he had rescued his wife when she was just a pup and when she grew up, they fell in love and got married, his sister never married but she had every idea to have children and procreate to increase their numbers.

Brandon was also a little pup when he was found, he was just a newborn, and Pierce never thought the boy would survive but miraculously he did.

Pierce and Paige were the only panthers to have witnessed the great wars, the rest of the panthers were born by some of the survivors of the war but most of them were dead.

Since Pierce and Paige were real siblings, they had been disgusted rightfully by the idea of incest and they had searched for years and generations for other panthers to grow their pride, Pierce had even tried having babies with wolves but none of the children survived, they had all being stillborn which would make sense because the moon goddess frowned upon such matches though occasionally such matches can exist and the creatures born were known as hybrid night creatures.

Though the witches hunted and killed off many of them because they termed them an abomination and hated them more than dark magic, it was also rumored that they had special powers that witches harvested to increase their own powers.

I did not know how true those claims were. I had however never met a hybrid night creature, the first of which I knew was baby Dine and nobody was talking about that fact because none of us knew what to expect and we would rather wait for her to manifest than start stressing about it from now.

Right now, I was in my office and we were preparing for the arrival of the panthers. They were coming for a friendly spar match with some of the wolves. I loved it because it would give the wolves stronger opponents to face other than themselves and they could brush up on their skills.

Brandon was especially interested in the witches so he mostly hung out with Jade when he was around since Jay was always busy at the office.

Paige and Pierce usually hung out with me and Sirius but occasionally Sirius and Pierce talked alone because they had a lot to reminisce about and so Paige and I had developed a friendship bond.

She was very funny and smart too, she had a lot of opinions when it came to leading a pack and I learned a lot from her.

"Sir, they have arrived." A servant arrived and I stood up from my table. I met Jade on the way when I was going to greet them.

She had on a really tight gown that showed off her curves and I couldn't help but tap that a*s as she swayed her hips past me.

"Hey." She smiled at me and I groaned. "We have guests " she giggled and I struggled to control myself. I did not want to have a stick in between my legs during the sparring match.

"Nice to see you again." I greeted Pierce and Paige came over to give me a big hug.

"Hey you, how have you been doing?" She asked and I smiled at her.

As I hugged her back, I spotted Brandon and Jade hugging too.

A flare of emotion popped up and Adrien began to give me a sickening headache with his growling and fight for control.

"Stop letting him touch you, Adrien is driving me crazy." I mind linked her and she stepped away from him immediately.

"Stop letting her touch you too." She replied glaring at me and I also swiftly stepped away from Paige.

"Okay, okay, are we ready for the sparring match between the panthers and the wolves?" Pierce asked loudly, he was a very good hype man and the crowd was going wild with excitement.

"Yes." Everybody screamed and I even joined them.

The first match was between males, an average sized wolf and a panther walked into the sparring ring and after the count of three, they started going at each other.

They were not allowed to shift until the third round so they were just punching each other and trying to get each other to lie on the back.

The first two rounds were a breeze as the wolf did not take much time to pin the Panthers on the back, the crowd went wide as the wolf won the first two rounds and soon it was time for the third round.

In the third round they could shift and the crowd applauded when the wolf took off his clothes and shifted into an average sized grey wolf.

He pranced around the arena and howled loudly and then turned to stalk his opponent, there was a gasp of surprise from the crowd when the opponent crouched down and shifted into a slightly larger black panther.

The wolf was quick to attack but the panther was stronger and he soon overpowered the wolf, the crowd went wild as the panther pinned down the wolf and the wolf had no escape.

Panthers were a rare mutation from the regular jaguars and leopards so it was not so much a surprise that he was stronger and defeated the wolf in his panther form.

The wolf won the match though because it won the first and second round and the crowd applauded him loudly as he was named the winner of the match.

The next match was the females, the female wolf had no problems overpowering and throwing down the panther in humans for in the first round, the second round was a bit tricky but the female wolf still won.

Just like the males, the female panther also dominated the female wolf in the third round which allowed shifting and I realized that the panthers were stronger in their wolf mood than they were as humans, it was like they became supernaturally charged when they shifted.

Well, for supernaturals, it wasn't so bad.

The next match featured stronger and higher ranks of wolves and panthers, the wolves won most of the matches with the panthers winning a few and soon it was time for the ultimate matches.

Sirius was up against Pierce and I was up against Paige, Brandon did not fight, he just stood watching the match and cheering the contestants on.

Sirius and Pierce's match was very interesting to watch because they seemed to match each other's energy. The first round was a tie, the second round Sirius won and Pierce won the third round.

His panther was the biggest I had seen and he had very large paws, one blow to Sirius' wolf's head, the wolf began to bleed and nearly blacked out, Sirius fought back injuring the panther as well but in the end, the panther subdued him.

Jade had prepared a healing potion so as they left the arena she healed them immediately.

I laughed when I entered the arena and the crowd began to chant Alpha. I know that I should have gone up against Pierce but he assured me that Paige was their strongest panther and since I was the strongest wolf, we had to face each other.

I did not intend to use my true Alpha wolf because they hadn't seen me in that way before and I didn't want to frighten anybody.

When it was time to shift, I was going to remain on my four legs and I was a very large sized wolf.

"I'd hate to hit a girl." I teased Paige as she entered the ring but she just laughed at me, her eyes glowing yellow.

"I'd love to see you try." She smirked before coming at me and giving me the heaviest blow I had ever felt.

I stumbled back from the impact but I regained my balance before I fell down. I realized that she was stronger than I thought and that I had no right to underestimate her and so I went to her, caught her by the waist, and threw her to the ground.

She bounced up immediately like she had not been hit and she came at me again, quicker and heavier this time.

The first round was over when with a swipe of her legs, she cleared me off the ground and I fell on my back, the bell rang and she was named the winner of the first round.

Adrien began to feel some type of way about being handed his a*s by a woman and my eyes began to flicker until it settled on the amber color.

She was already bleeding from her head and shoulders when the second round was over and I was bleeding from my legs and face.

I won the second round but it was only by a hair's breadth, if she had not been distracted for a few seconds, I wouldn't have seized my chances to knock her to the ground.

She shifted quickly and effortlessly and I watched as a golden colored jaguar pranced around the arena, green eyes blazing and waiting for me to change.

No wonder she was the strongest among them, she had the different panther, the rest had black panthers but she was golden colored which could only mean that she was a jaguar.

I wasn't intimidated by her though, impressed yes, but I wasn't intimidated, I changed into my wolf also and I heard the gasp from the crowd as they looked me over, I was bigger than her jaguar and my paws made a loud house when they hit the floor as I walked towards her.

The third round was the longest sparring match played today and it ended with the both of us badly beaten, she nearly tore my limb off as she latched her strong teeth with her jaw into them, I barely managed to free myself but it was still enough to knock some sense into her which I did.

Three blows to her head later, she was disoriented enough for me to pin her down on the floor and I won the match.

Overall, I came out the winner of the match, and overall the wolves were the winners of the event.
