The Leopard's Alpha Mate

-Fight for the Right-

-Theo's POV-

As I lay there in Ray's bed staring at the ceiling, I can't help but smile at the thought of us being together. Panting I roll over to where Ray is laying and hug him tight. His figure is very female like ,but I know better. I feel his arms wrap around me, trembling from our fun we just had.

"You alright babe?" I ask grinning.

"I don't know how I'm gonna survive you if you're like that every time we have s*x stud," he giggles.

"Aww come on now you loved it," I tease rubbing my nose against my mark on his neck causing him to let out a low moan.

My eyes cloud over and I hear William's voice come through.

'Theo get your ass to the castle now,' he orders.

'Wait what? Whats going on Will?' I ask a bit panicked.

'Just get to the castle now I'll explain when you get here,' William says.

As the link is cut I look to see a worried Ray.

"I have to go. Do you know the fastest way to the castle?" I rush out of the bed and pick up my cloths.

"What why-" he starts as I turn around to look at him to see his eyes are clouded over. "Oh s**t!" He yells jumping up and grabbing his cloths and putting them on.

I put mine on as well, "what is it?" I question.

"Your Alpha is getting into a fight with Alpha Roland for the right to be Sapphire's mate," he panics and throws some boots on.

We both rush out of the little house and rush toward the castle.

-Sapphire's POV-

"Damian are you sure you wanna do this," I say blocking the door for him to go out side.

"Sapphire I'm not only doing this to stay your mate: I'm doing this because he hurt you," he growls going around me and opening the door.

I follow him as he goes into the courtyard. Few people are here including my father who is sitting in his chair at the far right of the yard. Stopping at the line where the ring starts Damian turns to me and caresses my cheek with his right hand.

"Dont worry kitten he won't beat me that easily," he kisses my head then heads into the ring.

I feel a hand on my shoulder as I turn to see Drake standing to my side.

"Will he be ok Drake?" I ask choking back tears.

'He will win and beat that spoiled jack ass into the ground,' he signs.

I giggle at him then turn back to Damian and Roland who are about to start.

"Hey what did I miss Luna?!" I hear a familiar voice yell from my left.

"Theo, it's good you're here. I don't trust Roland's goons to play fair but then again neither does Roland," I hiss glaring at Roland.

"I heard what was going on. Ray and Will told me," he explains.

"Alright quiet down everyone," my father bellows as he stands up. "This will be a fair fight between Alphas for my daughter Sapphire. Whoever wins will earn the right to be called her mate. Let the fight begin!"

My head snaps back to Damian who is in a fighting stance. Roland makes the first move going in for a punch to the head but misses as Damian ducks and returns a punch in the gut. Roland backs up and spits out a little blood onto the snow as Damian stands back up. He hisses at Damian and

charges at him trying to go for one of his legs, but Damian jumps and lands on one if Rolands arms breaking it.

"Ahhhhhh!!! You fucker!!!" Roland shouts.

Damian backs off to let Roland get up.

"Is he going easy on Roland?" I ask Theo.

"Ya he is. Has Roland never fought anyone before?"

Theo replies.

"I'm guessing not..." I can't help but smile.

"Graahhhh!!" Roland shouts charging at Damian again this time tackling Damian to the ground.

Roland punches Damian in the face and cuts his chest with his claws making me gasp and bite my lip. Damian catches his other hand and kicks him off sending him flying and hitting the ground hard. He gets up and goes over to Roland and grabs him by his head and slams him into the ground.

"Give up yet?" Damian growls holding Rolands bloody face up.

From this angle his nose looks broken and has cuts all over his face.

"No!!" I hear Roland shout.

Damian bashes his head into the ground again cracking it.

"Now?!" Damian shouts.

Roland taps the ground signaling his submission.

Damian lets go and gets up. Blood drips from his head as a result of Roland's punch to the face. He starts walking back over to me and all seems to be going in slow motion at this point.

Roland gets up and pulls out a silver knife from his pants hilt. He charges at Damian as I start to run to him waving my hands. Theo and Drake are running beside me. Damian looks behind him just as Roland brings the knife down onto Damians back knocking

him down and leaving a large gash in Damians back. I hear ripping from my left to see Drake in his snow leopard form, and before Roland can stab Damian a strange man tackles Roland knocking the knife out of this hand.

"Damian!!!" I scream dropping beside him and grabbing his face as blood starts to pool under him.

"Damian!!" Theo shouts getting on the other side of him.

Tears flow down my cheek and all I can focus on is Damian.

'I think we are done hiding don't you Sapphire," Scarlet chimed in.

'Yes I do argee,' I agreed with her.

Getting into a sitting position with Damian's head in my lap, I start to hum a tune with Scarlet. I opened my eyes to see Damian's large wound was healing so I closed my eyes and sang louder. Once Scarlet stopped so did I, I look down to see a large scar

left on Damians back. Aside from that, he was fully healed.

"Ahhh fucker got me good," Damian groans, he looks up at my tear soaked face. "What's wrong kitten?"

I start bawling as he sits up and I hug him tight. He hugs me and rubs my back.

"Shhh. I'm alright kitten," he purs.

-Drake's POV-

We rush over to the man holding Roland down and smack the knife away.

"Joshua get off me right now!!!" Roland shouts.

"No I won't let you hurt them anymore!!" The man I'm assuming is Joshua shouts.

'What is he talking about?' I hear Titus chime in.

'I dont know but for now we need to deal with Roland,' I hiss.

Joshua punches Roland knocking him out in one punch.

'Wait we were also knocked out that way. There's no mistaking him!' I growl as we pounce onto Joshua.

"Wait please sir I can explain everything," he puts his hands up in surrender.

We huff and gett off him and look at our father who's head is in his hands in shame almost like we did something wrong. We walk up to him and growl startling him. Titus lets me have control again and we stand up.

"Don't growl at me son," he growls back at me.

'How dare you just sit there and not do a thing as Roland dishonors your rule and this fight!!' I sign furiously.

"Don't you start. Yes I am aware that Damian won this. It's why I'm gonna let Sapphire go and she shall not return here ever," he announces.

I gasp and roar at him in an Alpha tone growling deep.

"Are you challenging me boy?" He hisses and stands up.

I growl again louder in my Alpha tone.

"Is that how it's gonna be then son?" He growls glaring at me.

'Yes Father: I will not allow my child to grow up without their whole family. Even if Sapphire's mate is a wolf, I dont care as long as she is happy. You wanted her to marry a man who would abuse and hurt her,' I glare at him.

"He did no su-" he starts.

'Yes he did! And I have a feeling he has something to do with us losing mother and my accident,' I sign.

"What are you talking about son?" He looked at me with concern on his face.

'That man called Joshua... I've seen his face before

and he said he worked for Roland and that he wouldnt let him hurt us anymore,' I look up at fathers shocked face. 'He said he can explain everything to us but you must not be hard on Sapphire and her mate anymore. His pack is just as strong as Roland's tribe... maybe stronger.'

Father sighs and walks towards Damian and Sapphire.

"I apologize to you Alpha Damian. I was only concerned for my daughter's safety," he apologizes.

Damian gets up holding Sapphire in his arms as she hugs him.

"That's alright sir. I understand your desire to protect her and I can respect that," Damian replies.

We all go inside and chain Roland up in a cell. My father, Joshua and I head to my father's office to discuss what Roland has done while Damian takes my sister to her room.
