Gatlin was on the warpath once she left the Alpha's office the only thing she was imagining was having Onyx's head on a pike it had made her more furious that the Alpha wouldn't even consider there had been a mistake. Her hands shook with anger as she marched back to the training grounds a growl was threatening to leave her lips while her legs marched across the grass. Her supposed mate, this man had chosen someone else yet wanted to try and keep her around for what? To be some sort of mistress even the thought enraged Gatlin further and once she got to the camp and set her furious eyes on him nothing else mattered but her anger. Gatlin's hands balled to fists as she marched to Onyx, he was with the group starting to practice fighting while he stood dead centre of the group. Without a second thought, she peeled off her hooded jumper and carelessly tossing it to the ground leaving her in a tank top and sweats.
"Linz you're back you—" Arro began to speak from the side of the group but didn't even get to finish as He shut his mouth quickly once Gatlin came into contact with Onyx. Without hesitation her hands outstretched and she shoved the large man causing him to stumble. Everyone glanced to each other surprised and when Onyx composed himself and turned his silver eyes they practically bulged out of his head seeing Gatlin's furious face.
"Gatlin—" he began his voice almost nervous.
"We are training in fighting right? Well I'm here and I'm challenging you" her voice was eerily calm but holding a sharp edge. Jaxon and Arro watched on with confused looks on their faces but Gatlin paid them no attention her eyes were simply glued onto Onyx who gave a hesitant nod. She charged at him without a second thought.
"You're a prick!" She growled out landing a punch to his jaw before he threw her off. Gatlin landed in the dirt tumbling across the ground but quickly recovering. Onyx watched in concern at her rage-filled face he no doubt felt it to considering they were linked.
"What?" He questioned but she launched at him again in a vicious assault. Her fists throwing furiously at his face. Gatlin had never been one to fight about things like regular wolves but until now no one had made her mad enough.
"You heard me" she snarled continuing her assault as he attempted to dodge her quick-moving hands before finally shoving her off but it didn't last long. Gatlin was determined she didn't care that she could feel the strikes of her hits through their bond she just wanted to hurt him, she just wanted to release her fury. Once again she flew at him like a bat out of hell. Her fangs were threatening to extend as she barreled into him and knocking him to the ground, his large body landed with a thud as Gatlin sat straddling his waist lifting her fist ready to strike he went first a punch to her gut made her groan as she hunched forward everything in her wanted to cradle her now aching stomach but she refused to relent instead she faked it, hunching forward she waited for his arm to raise again before she grabbed his wrist, with a firm twist she forced it to bend and turn awkwardly before pushing it against the ground and quickly moved herself to a squatting position where she ground the bottom of her shoe into his other hand to pin it down with her full weight pressing into it causing him to groan from there she got to work with a brutal attack of her free fist directly into his face. Gatlin refused to stop till she was hauled off my Arro and Callum.
"Linz, come on" Arro groaned struggling to pull back the still fighting Gatlin "what's going on?"
"Am I ready now!" Gatlin shouted with Arro's arms struggling to hold her by her waist "am I? am I good enough to pass training now!"
"Linz, what the hell is going on?" Arro questioned finally setting Gatlin onto her feet her legs stopping from kicking wildly her eyes still focused on a now bloody faced Onyx that was getting to his feet.
Her eyes narrowed "I'm not leaving the pack anytime soon" everyone looked confused while a wild Gatlin was held back by Arro and Callum as Onyx stood seemingly nervous across from them.
"What?" Arro pressed further a frown now deepened on his face.
Gatlin ripped herself from Arro's hold then whipping around to face him "he’s sabotaging my chances at leaving" she growled out before giving a pointed look to Onyx and storming off. All eyes fell onto Onyx who stood in the middle of the group awkwardly finally brushing the blood from his brow.
“What is she talking about, Nyx?” Arro questioned further but his cousin straightened himself up and ignored his question so Arro quickly followed after Gatlin.
:::
She was in her room when Arro found her. Sulking at the edge of her bed cradling her busted knuckle and staring down at her knees “Linz?” He spoke softly opening the door to her room further.
“What?” She grumbled.
“What happened back there? Seeing Onyx getting his ass kicked was funny but that's not you and to attack the Alpha’s son like that--” Arro stepped closer and took the spot beside her.
“He lied, Arro. He told the Alpha I wasn’t where I should be in training and that I need to stay here longer” Gatlin looked up the hurt obvious on her face.
“What!” Arro exclaimed.
“Whatever his plans are for me to What? Be some sort of mistress while he lives out his fantasy with his high school sweetheart. He can’t have his cake and eat it too” Gatlin ranted.
“Did you tell the Alpha? I can speak to him—“
“I tried he doesn’t believe me...” Gatlin sighed his shoulders slumping while Arro wrapped a comforting arm around them “what am I going to do?”
