THE ARENA

Chapter 5

Addison reached the top and wondered why Nathan dont just knock her out. She noticed the remote and hurried to it, and pressed the button. The electric current searched through Dakota and knocked both Dakota and Nathan out.

“What the f*ck?!” Nathan asked a moment later.

“You sold her out? I heard her saying so,” Addison questioned, searching Dakota’s packages and throwing a bottle of water to Nathan.

Before Nathan could answer the end of the contest was announced.

“WIC CONQUERED, THE WIC COMPANY WILL VISIT YOU IN TWO MONTHS”

There were faint cheers in the distance, not like the previous contest.

“I guess Packs left after they realized their Alphas and Lunas got executed for real,” Addison said before drinking.

Stairs shifted out of the side of the stage. Nathan picked Dakota up and threw her over his shoulder.

“The next contest is going to be much harder since I didn’t have time to hide things. Normally I hid things while your father builds the ladder,” Addison said, gathering all the packages that Dakota received, most not even opened.

“Well, they can hear us so I am sure they will make sure that there is no hidden aid for the next contest,” Nathan said.

“They cannot hear us,” Addison said, following Nathan down the stairs, limping.

“Trust me they can. How are your legs?” Nathan asked, hearing her moan.

“Still on my body,” Addison joked.

When they reached the exit of the Arena only their pack was waiting there. “What happened?” Beta Max asked sweeping Addison up into his arms.

“They say no rules but I guess that meant only for them. They killed everyone. If one part of the couple got killed the other got shot down,” Addison said and wrapped her arms around Max.

Dakota started to wake up, feeling her being lifted above hands; hands that touched her all over without care, ripping her dress and fondling her with lust-filled voices saying how much they are going to enjoy her.

“They are animals,” Nathan said, not new to their behavior, he has watched them do it after every Arena.

‘They are warming her up for my bed,’ his father use to say, ‘by the time she gets to my bed she is so wet, and your mother doesn’t even have to hold her down.’

‘Will Dakota be like that?’ Nathan thought, doubting it.

Nathan got into his car which looked more like a Solar panel station than a car, Addison and Max joined him.

“Where is the pack doctor?” Nathan asked as he looked around for her.

“You know she does not approve of these events; she won’t be at the packhouse either,” Addison said.

“I did not know that. I thought the whole pack is present to support us,” Nathan said, starting his car.

“Just mind link her and tell her to meet us at the packhouse,” Max suggested.

Nathan mind linked his pack doctor, ‘meet us at the packhouse, Addison got hurt.’

‘Serves her right,’ Leilah mind linked back.

‘Watch yourself, she is your Luna, and she needs you,’ Nathan mind linked her, showing her Addison’s legs.

By the time they arrived at the packhouse Leilah was already waiting, ready to tend to Addison’s wounds.

“You can be lucky that you did not lose both your legs,” Leilah said, finishing the final stitches.

“Are you done?” Addison asked, eager to go get cleaned up.

“Here, keep your legs dry and clean,” Leilah said, giving Addison the medical bag.

“I need a hot bath,” Addison said when Max picked her up.

“Best not to soak your legs,” Leilah advised.

“Sure doc,” Addison said, rolling her eyes.

Leilah went to Nathan’s room, “need me to give you a look over?”

“No, I am good,” Nathan said with just a towel around him, his hair still wet, making a full circle to let her see there is not a scratch on him.

“Your father always looked so bad coming out of an Arena,” Leilah said.

“I already shifted,” Nathan said.

“You know you should not shift until you have regained your energy,” Leilah scolded.

“Give the WICS a look over,” Nathan said.

“Yes, Alpha. I take it you will be spending the night here. Should I get one of the omegas to bring you clean bedsheets?” Leilah asked, feeling a bit jealous that he won’t be between her legs tonight.

“Already took care of it,” Nathan said.

“Ok then, I will bring the WICS after I checked her over,” Leilah said.

“Her name is Dakota,” Nathan said and sat down on his bed, which he had not used for a very long time as he preferred to stay away from the packhouse but knows that he will have to give up his private residence to pay off some of his father’s debt. His plan was to sell Dakota but now he feels guilty for what he has done to her.

Nathan fell back onto his bed and only when his head hit the bed did he realize how exhausted he was.

Nathan does not know how long he was asleep for but got woken from a knock on the door.

“Bathed and ready to receive you,” Leilah said.

Nathan’s eyes fall on Dakota’s naked body, “why is she naked?”

“Why put clothes on her if you are going to take it off?” Leilah asked.

“Leave us,” Nathan said, standing up and pulled Dakota into the room before shutting his door.

Nathan walked over to his closet and took out a t-shirt and pants for Dakota, “sorry it is all I have but the pants has a drawstring.”

Dakota threw the clothes back at him.

“Please let me explain,” Nathan started.

“Explain how you sold a person off like livestock? I am trapped for the rest of my life now!” Dakota shouted.

“I will just win you every time,” Nathan promised.

“Ha!” Dakota laughed in disbelief.

Nathan picked the clothes up and tried to give them to her again, but Dakota slapped him across his face, “why?”

“I am not going to force you to have s*x with me, but if you slap me again you will regret it,” Nathan warned her.

Dakota dropped the clothes again and got onto his bed.

“What are you doing?” Nathan asked.

“Getting some sleep, I am tired,” Dakota said, putting one of her legs over the white duvet, exposing half of her body as she hugged the duvet.

“You are not sleeping naked next to me,” Nathan said, feeling his manhood rise by the thought, thinking about the last time she was in one of his beds.

“Then go sleep someplace else,” Dakota said stubbornly, thinking, ‘suffer.’

“Do you want me to f*ck you?” Nathan asked.

“F*ck off,” Dakota said.

Nathan gave one stride to the bed and dropped his towel before ripping the duvet away.

Dakota scrams up into a sitting position, “fine, I will put clothes on!”

“Too late for that,” Nathan said, grabbing her by her ankles and pulled her towards him, making her gasp.

Nathan met her panicked eyes, “it is nothing we have not done before.” Nathan pressed his body against hers, his manhood fully erected.

Dakota grabbed his jewels with force, “that was before you betrayed me!”

Nathan grabbed her hand that was not letting go of his jewels, fuming through shut teeth in pain, “let go you b*tch.”

Dakota squeezed even harder, “let us see if you can have any children now.” Dakota tried to part shift so that her hands can turn into claws so that she can rip his jewels off but the collar around her neck prevented her. When a Lycan part shifts it caused their whole body to expand. Dakota let go of Nathan, choking. Before she could do anything else the collar shocked her again.

Nathan hated the fact that he had to use the remote on her, thinking, ‘she was about to destroy me. Maybe I should just sell her, it will save me the trouble.’
