Chapter 604 At The Pack's Square
"Let's go and end things once and for all," Joanna declared as she signalled Jocelyn to lead the way.
Jocelyn, who was as tall as Joanna, stood up and exhaled wearily.
"Anna, are you sure you don't need any weapons to go against those men? I know they will come with every weapon that could inflict serious damage on you. As long as it will guarantee their success they will not hesitate to kill," Jocelyn spoke from experience.
She has lived with these people all her life to know what each one of them was capable of.
Although Joanna had proved that she could take them on, she couldn't stop her heart from worrying.
"They can come with whatever weapon they want because I am ready for them also," Joanna cracked her knuckles, glaring at no one in particular.
"If you say so then let's go," Jocelyn said and led the way outside the building.
On their way to the Pack's square, Jocelyn took her time to list out the strengths and weaknesses of the men who confronted them earlier.
She hoped and prayed that this information would come in handy during the upcoming battle.
From the beginning, Jocelyn had already guessed that the men would play foul but the scene she met at the Pack's square left her awestruck.
When they reached the Pack's square they met a large number of people, in fact, it looked like the vicious men had invited the entire Pack to witness how they would win the girl they called weak and legitimately become the Alpha.
As if the large audience wasn't enough Jocelyn noticed that over fifty werewolves were contesting for the position of Alpha and among them, they were also women.
"No matter what anyone says this is just not right. He is…"
"Don't challenge him…"
"But Anna, he deliberately instigated so many of the people to join him. He wants to make sure he leaves you with no chance of winning and this is not fair," Jocelyn grumbled.
"Do you think he will pay heed if you confront him now?" Joanna demanded sternly.
"If he doesn't we can as well back out of this," Jocelyn declared fiercely.
"Then he will force you to hand over the Alpha's position to him right in front of everyone. Tell me, will you be able to continue resisting if that happens?" Joanna retorted. She turned and shot the grinning elderly man a murderous glance.
At that moment she felt like stuffing the man's face with dirt for smiling so brightly.
"He can devise whatever cheap means there is but I assure you that we will win even without playing tricks. He will be the one ashamed at the end of the day so relax Jocelyn, I have got this covered," Joanna assured as she tapped Jocelyn's right shoulder.
Her overwhelming confidence made Jocelyn, Audrey and Carl doubt how true her words were.
The elderly man who was the leader of the rebels moved over to where they stood.
"Are you ready to hand over the Alpha's seal to us or do you still want to send your foolish friend to her early grave in front of the entire Pack?" The man demanded a victorious smile spread across his face.
"Wait, was it your intention to become the Alpha without putting on a fight? From the beginning, you had planned to intimidate us to hand over the seal to you huh?" Joanna asked, faking a terrified look.
Her hilarious imitation almost made Audrey burst out in a peal of deafening laughter had she not covered her mouth with her palm.
"If that's the outcome you wanted then I am sorry to tell you…" Joanna trailed as she moved closer to the man.
When she reached his front she bent down so that her mouth was close to the man's ear.
"It won't work. I will single-handedly make sure you don't only leave here without the Alpha's seal but with your head hanging low in shame. Brace yourself old man because you don't know what is coming your way," Joanna whispered grinning devilishly.
She moved away from the fuming man and acted as if nothing happened.
The angry man glared at Joanna and her companions before he turned his back on them.
"Listen to me contestants," The man called the attention of everyone with his loud voice.
"For months we have endured so many hardships and overcame the calamity that has plagued our pack. We have been lenient for a long time and it's high time we stop waiting for someone who will never return," The man recited, getting Jocelyn infuriated with his presumptuous statement.
"Today, we are going to get the Alpha's seal from her and to achieve that we must win against this rude girl," He declared. He tilted his head and shot Joanna a deadly glare but Joanna remained unmoved.
"From this moment, she is not a little girl but an obstacle to returning our Pack to its former glory. And that is why it doesn't matter if you break her limbs or every bone in her body…"
"Breaking my bones will take more than mere talks. If I were you, I would advise your men to be very careful because I am not the type to show mercy to my opponent," Joanna interrupted, her head held high.
Joanna's sassy attitude and statement got those who were against the men's actions cheering and applauding her and this did not resonate with the determined men.
"You can go on acting proud, I didn't expect less from a rude and crude child like you. Don't worry, I will be here when you weep and beg for us to spare your life after every single bone in your body is crushed," The man growled. He angrily moved over to where his men standing on the other side of the opened area.
After three minutes, an elderly man was picked among the non-participating people to handle the fight.
He gave them five minutes to prepare and strategise even though both sides tried to decline it.
When the allotted time elapsed the anchor called a man from the opposing team forward and Joanna too.
