Ember woke with a start, her heart pounding and her whole body coated in a cold sweat. She groaned and curled in on herself when she realized what today was. It was the day. She sucked in a breath, Babe?

I am here, Cyprian responded, voice soft. I must warn you, my Luna, that you must not seek out my thoughts in the battle. My wolf will have taken over; what you see there will scar you for years innumerable.

Ember nodded, her eyes closed as she pondered what would happen today. Alright, babe. she murmured. She wished this would all go away and she could just stay with Cyprian for ever. I won't ever forgive you if you lose. she said smirking

I won't, Cyprian responded. I have something worth fighting for, my Luna. Never you fear.

Ember smiled and hugged him fiercely trough their bond. Okay. Shower time. So get out, lover boy. You're not allowed to see all that yet.

Cyprian rolled his eyes, sending Ember the mental picture of him doing so before he withdrew. His wolf was pacing close to the surface, sensing that something big was going to happen to today. The wolf Prince stood to his full height, staring at the yellow-green eyes reflecting back at him in the mirror. He was tall and strong and Alpha. Ember was his Luna, his queen. He had to win; there was no other option.
Elora came into consciousness slowly before the realization that Ember's future was to be decided today. Of course, Cyprian's dad had a plan to get Ember out of the country if his son lost, and Ember knew this, but Elora also knew that if Cyprian died, Ember would never recover. She would cease to be the fun-loving, witty teenager. Elora prayed to whatever God existed that Cyprian won, because she didn't want to lose her best friend to grief and sorrow.
Alasdair was awake and ready. His alpha's son would be ready to go momentarily. The beta stalked through Ember's house, eyes glowing, belaying that his wolf was close to the surface. Ember needed to get moving, because it was eight o'clock and Cyprian needed to be at the field by eight-fifteen, and it was Alasdair's job to drive him there. He had no plans to leave the prince's mate unprotected, though, and went to wake Dax and the alpha pair.

Dax grumbled softly as he was awoken by his beta,"Damn, fur ball."he muttered and then chuckled softly. He was too after all a fur ball. He stretched once and than headed to the bathroom to get cleaned up. He emerged from his room and headed to the living room to wait for the rest of them to emerge.
Ember showered and dressed quickly. She chose her favorite pair of jeans shorts, an old off the shoulder grey tshirt with quarter inch sleeves, and black biker combat boots complete with buckles and everything. Her pretty long brown locks were pulled up in a messy bun on the side of her head. To finish off her look she put on her black aviators and diamond studs, before she headed out to meet her mother and the people closest to her to determine her destiny.
Bryn woke with yawn, her arms extending over her head in a feline like stretch. The fabric of her tshirt rose, exposing her well toned tummy, just as the Aladasair walked in. A deep blush settled in her cheeks, but she made no move to cover her bear flesh.

Alasdair's wolf stirred to attention at Bryn's presence, her distinct scent drifting passed his nose. He turned piercing eyes on her, watching her for a moment before he offered her a nod in greeting and averting his gaze politely. "Princess," he greeted Ember, "my Alpha and his mate will take you to the battle location. Dax will be with you at all times. It is imperative that you remember the plan, should the worst happen. I am taking Cyprian to the field now. I will see you soon." He dipped his head in greeting to Elora before he turned, nodded to Byrn, and was gone.
Elora was waiting downstairs, glittering eyes turning to Ember as she walked into the room. Her gaze was determined, mouth set in a thin line. In her head, she was singing 'I'll make a man out of you'. She totally didn't notice when Dax strolled into the room. Totally didn't.

Bryn smiled at Aladasair, it was kind and not a hint of flirtiness entered. Okay, maybe just a touch did, but it didn't matter. It was like he take notice of her anyway. Elora and Ember were the ones that got noticed with their beautiful blonde and black locks, to die for figures, and their eyes that could rival an ocean there was so much depth in them. All Bryn had was plain slightly wavy brown hair that stopped just above her butt, hazel eyes that she swore were the color of poop, and a tiny waist with some huge 'assests'.
Ember nodded, her shoulders tensing and her gaze hardening as she finally let it hit her what she was to do today. She smiled softly but it was pained, Babe? You ready? She hoped more then anything in the world that her true mate would win.
Dax smirked as he passed by Elora. He let his fingertips just slightly graze her bare skin on her arm before he headed for the front door."You're chariot awaits, princess."he said, smiling. Though his gaze wasn't on Ember, but on Elora.

Cyprian shook himself, sliding into the passenger's seat as Alasdair pulled up. His wolf was ready, chomping at the bit to protect his mate. Cyprian's yellow-green eyes were flat with fury, though he kept the anger reigned tight. Cyprian in a controlled state of anger was far more scary than Cyprian roaring and shouting with fury. In ten minutes, Alasdair parked the car. In a flash, Cyprian was out of the car, kicking off the loose sweatpants and t-shirt to shift. The white-gray wolf loped about, inspecting the field carefully. Yes, the wolf responded, voice low and gruff.
Elora glared at Dax but followed him out, reaching forward to grab Ember's hand as a offer of comfort. "Let's kick some wolf ass," she growled.

Dax growled softly at Elora's glare,"The only ass your allowed to touch is mine."he said and then he gave Elora his signature smirk before it fell into a scowl as he got into the car and started the engine. He drove in silence the rest of the way. His mood dampened.
Ember grew more and more tense as they made their way to the sight of the battle. Her anxiety grew as well as her hold on Elora's hand.
Luka growled softly, his eyes never leaving the young prince's. His black pelt rose as a permeant snarl settled on his feature. He would win today and he would claim was rightfully his.

Elora's jaw went taut. "Excuse me, fur ball," she responded, voice icy. "You are not the boss of me. I will touch whoever's ass I want to. Kapeesh?" She ignored the pain of Ember's grip, staying steady for her friend. "I'm not a wolf," she muttered under her breath, shifting closer to Ember on the car seat.
Corrigan, Cyprian's father, released a short laugh at Dax's and Elora's antics. Mates, for sure, my Luna, he murmured to his mate through their connection. Cyprian's mother laughed.
Cyprian's forest-colored eyes were focused intently on his opponent. The wolf silently studied his enemy, searching for any sign of a weakness. The white-gray wolf was expressionless, ears forward, eyes burning. He waited for his Alpha to announce the duel's beginning.

Luka was not Alpha for his weakness, he reeked instead of dominance and ferociousness. A growl rumbled out from his chest. He would not easily be defeated.
Dax's shoulders slumped just the slightest at the mention of her humanness. Doesn't matter. You're still mine. he thought to himself and smirked. His wolf had already claimed her and the man in him had too.
Ember went rigid when the car finally stopped, almost on autopilot she exited the car and headed for the spot where she was to watch the battle.
Bryn flanked Ember's left, her presence always there.

Elora remained by Ember's side the entire time. She stood, offering a silent form of comfort to her best friend. Her eyes darted between Luka and Cyprian, nervous for the Wolf Prince.
Corrigan's eyes narrowed as he stepped forward. "I will be presiding as Alpha over this Challenge." His gaze drifted to Luka. "Do you, Luka, wish to proceed with the Challenge?"

Luka nodded, his massive furry head. It was the best he could do in wolf form. He turned his gaze just briefly to Ember, before he met the princes in a silent taunt. He growled, but that growl meant more than just a simple growl it meant mine.
