140 Chapter 139: Demanding a figh

Sam shivered in fear, seeing him. The boy's heartbeat grew faster with every second he chose to hold on to Elize's hand. The sound of his heart beating against his chest was like a loud drum, announcing to the whole group how intimidated he felt. Zack smiled at him, revealing the tip of his fangs in a warning. He knew that there would be no need to exert force on the boy. He looked as he would faint any moment from now. Sam shrunk back in defeat, quickly releasing Elize's hand from his grip.

"I-" He started, nervously.

But before the boy could finish his words, Elize turned around to hug Zack, dragging all his attention towards her. 

"Zack!" She exclaimed, sighing happily. 

Zack smiled, looking down at his mate's beautiful face. Her mouth-watering scent filled his senses as she tightened her grip around his torso. He ran his fingers through her hair that was tied in a high ponytail. With a quick slash, he tore through the band which held her hair, making the black silky mass fall gently against her back. Although he loved seeing the deep cut of her black, shimmery dress as it slid perfectly down her curves, he didn't want anyone else to be privy to the view. She was his, and he alone should see her beautiful arch, he thought, sliding his hand underneath the curtain of her hair, to run his fingers through the soft skin of her back that the dress exposed. Elize chuckled, shaking her head at his gesture. Zack smiled, bending down to place a quick peck on her lips. 

"Who do you think you are?!" Suddenly a shrill voice shouted from ahead. 

Zack looked in the direction, irritated at the interruption. A little girl around the age of Heidi was standing in front of him with her fists balled up. Her face appeared flushed with anger as she glared at him with her big brown eyes. He raised his brows in confusion. What was a kid doing in a club? He wondered. 

"Get your hands off of her!" The girl shouted again. Pointing towards Elize, she said, "She will be my brother's Luna!"

There was a strange determination in her voice that made him chuckle. He looked back and forth, Sam and the girl. Yes, they did definitely look like siblings now that he observed. So it was true, what Amy had told him at the ground today. The poor boy had brought his entire family to a club so that he could coerce his mate into rejecting him? 

"So, this is why you asked me not to come, eh?" Zack asked, looking down at his mate with a mischievous smile. "Are you cheating on me with this kid?" He asked, nodding towards Sam.

Elize laughed, shaking her head in denial. With a shy smile, she replied, biting her lips, "I like older men."

As their lips met, a fire raged inside his body, threatening to consume him with desire. He hungrily sucked on Elize's wet lips without pausing to take a breath. She kissed him back with an equal passion, her hands tugging at his hair, bending his head down as she thrust her tongue inside his mouth. 

"What do you think you are doing?!" He heard the little girl shout in the background, "Let me go, Sean! Dammit!" 

Reminding himself that he had to get her out of here before they drew more attention, Zack broke away from the kiss, leaving Elize panting heavily with a dreamy smile. He felt light as a feather, holding her in his arms. With a final peck on her lips, Zack turned towards the group that looked at them with mixed emotions. There were some that he recognized from Elize's batch, but there was a significant amount of others who he guessed were from the boy's pack. They were looking at each other in confusion, murmuring amongst themselves. 

"So tell me, Sam," Zack said, turning his attention towards the boy, "did you honestly think that you could force my mate into being yours?"

There was a glint of danger in his gaze that was visible to anyone who looked. Sam looked away, clenching his jaw in irritation. 

"That was up to her." He said through clenched teeth. "I didn't force her to do anything. I was merely suggesting-"

"Ohh?" Zack asked with a smirk, "So do you usually suggest things to people by forcing them to stay?"

The question caught the boy by surprise as he looked at Zack warily. 

"Well, I-" Sam stammered. 

"Your mate?!" The boy's sister said, breaking free of Sean's grip. Storming towards them, she shouted, "You can't lay a claim to her just by saying that you have a bond!"

She stopped right beside her brother, glaring at him in anger. Zack raised his brows, amused by the fight in the little girl. She resembled Heidi more and more every time she opened her mouth. 

"Shut up, Skye!" Sam hissed, turning towards his sister. 

"Please don't mind her, Zack, she's just a kid," Sean said, stepping up for the little girl. 

Zack nodded, keeping his eyes on the girl. 

"I demand a match between you and Sam!" Skye said, shaking her finger at him, "The winner gets Elize! Let us do this the pack way!"

"Skye! I said, shut up!" Sam thundered, looking angry. 

The girl didn't shrink back in fear, but she met her brother's gaze head-on. As much as he could notice, the girl still hadn't turned. She sure had a lot of energy for a wereling. And she definitely knew too much about politics, he thought. He wondered what kind of situation warranted such a young girl to grow up so soon. 

"What do you think, baby?" Zack asked, turning to Elize. He pressed the tip of his mate's nose with his index finger playfully as he waited for her reply. 

Elize smiled. "Well, I don't know how it works among werewolves, but I think I will decide who I want to be with." She said, looking pointedly towards Skye. 

"You heard her," Zack said with a shrug. He looked at Skye intently, knowing that the girl wouldn't give up so soon.

"Her opinion doesn't count," Skye replied with a huff. "That's not how such things get decided."

Zack chuckled at the reply. What the girl said was correct, he thought amused. She sure did know her subject well. 

"Excuse me?!" Elize exclaimed, looking offended. 

"No offense Elize, but these things are decided by men. Any Alpha can challenge another for the woman they love." Skye said dismissively, "The winner takes all. This rule existed since the beginning of time."

Elize shook her hand at the girl in irritation. "If I were your mother, I'd slap some sense into you." She said, narrowing her eyes. "But since I'm not, I'll leave that to your brother." 

Zack patted his mate on her shoulder, nodding assuredly. The girl was right about the challenge. But it all depends on Sam. If he were to challenge him directly, then Zack was more than willing to accept it. After all, he knew what the boy's capability was when compared to his. He wasn't scared a bit. 

"If you insist on a match, then let's do this." Zack said, turning to Sam, "What do you say, Sam? Do you want to get your ass kicked in front of your pack?" He asked with a wink.

The boy looked flustered all of a sudden. "I-"

"Skye?!" Suddenly Heidi's voice rang inside the room. 

Zack looked back in confusion as his packmate walked into the place with a guilty-looking Mikhail. 

"Heidi?!" Skye exclaimed, looking shocked.

The two girls embraced, looking at each other with teary eyes. Zack looked towards Mikhail for an answer. His subordinate shrugged, looking as clueless as he was. Elize look confused as well, as she looked at the girls in surprise. 

"Heidi?" She asked, cocking her head to the side in confusion. 

Heidi's head whipped towards the direction as she heard the call. "Elize?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at his mate in distaste. She turned towards him with an accusatory glance. "I thought that there was something fishy when you told me that you'd take me to the club. Does everything have to be about her?"

"Luna, I'm sorry!" Mikhail suddenly said, falling down on one knee. "Heidi! Bow to your Luna now!" He hissed, glaring at his packmate. 

"No!" Heidi shouted, looking furious. 

"It's okay, Mikhail." Elize said, turning to him with a smile, "It's nice to see you both. Please rise."
