Bedding My Vampire Mate

"Weren't you the one most eager to become the new Alpha so why are you only standing there when it's just you remaining? Don't tell me you are too scared to challenge me after watching all your followers lose to me?" Joanna taunted just to get the elderly man into the fighting ring.

Even though she had singlehandedly taken down over fight powerful men, Joanna resembled someone who hadn't thrown a punch yet.

It was as if she was possessed by a beast with unparalleled powers.

"Anyways it's OK if you don't want to step into the ring because the rule never said I need to win you to become the Alpha. Remaining outside the ring shows that you have backed out of the contest and that automatically makes me the winner since you are the only contestant that is left," Joanna bragged a victorious smile lingering at the corner of her lips.

She turned her back to the man so that she was facing Audrey and Jocelyn.

"Am I right girls?" Joanna asked. She secretly signalled Audrey to go do what she was excellent at.

"Of course, someone's else cowardice will not only make you save your strength and time but you will also become the legitimate Alpha of the Golden Core Pack. By becoming the true Alpha none can question you or your authority. They were the ones who set the rules so I am they wouldn't dare go back on their words," Audrey chirped in and she winked naughtily at Joanna.

"If they are wise like they often claimed, I am sure they will live quietly within the forum walls of their home after they have succeeded in embarrassing themselves," Jocelyn snarled, deliberately letting out a chuckle to further irritate the men who had made her life difficult for over two months.

"Over my dead body will I let you little rabbits rule the Pack," The elderly man charged forward with his dagger aiming at Joanna's neck.

"Then go and die," Joanna turned and grabbed the neck of the man who tried to snuck an attack at her.

He thought he stood a chance with Joanna's back facing him unbeknownst to him that Joanna had deliberately given him false hopes so that he would muster up the courage to attack her.

"I heard since ancient times it was only cowards who dared to attack their opponents from behind. I didn't know that such a respected figure like you was a coward," Joanna mocked. She squeezed the man's hand so that the dagger in his possession fell off.

"All is fair in love and war, didn't anyone ever teach you that?" The man jeered laughing maniacally as if he had lost his sanity.

"It's only a fool who turns his back to his enemy…"

"Luckily, I am not foolish but you are. You couldn't even resist the small bait I threw at you," Joanna whispered, grinning.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be too happy because the real battle is just starting, hahaha," He let out a hysterical laugh which got Joanna wondering about what he meant.

"I thought you were only a coward, I can't believe you are also a sore loser. You are the one who came up with this ridiculous arrangement how come you are hell-bent on not accepting defeat?" Joanna growled and angrily hit the man in the Chet's which sent him flying across the fighting ring.

People waited to see the stubborn man sprang up to his feet but surprisingly he lay there lifelessly on the floor.

Cheers of victory erupted in the air as soon as it was confirmed that the elderly man had lost consciousness.

"Girl, despite that the result is in front of me I can still believe that you did it?" The overwhelmed Jocelyn muttered almsot in tears.

"Not so fast everyone. She had one more person to defeat to be crowned the winner," A man's cold voice erupted causing the happy cheers to cease immediately.

Everyone turned and gazed at where the voice came from to see how the new challenger was.

To their surprise, the challenger wasn't a man with a muscular body like Joanna's other contestants.

He was a man who had a similar build to Joanna. He was just a few inches taller than her and surprisingly he had unique green eyeballs just like how Joanna's was purple.

"Jocelyn, who is that? I didn't see him with the other men earlier. He is someone we should be worried about?" Audrey bombarded Jocelyn with questions about the unexpected intruder who just had to step forward and ruin their happiness.

"Our pack is not huge and because of that I often have no difficulties recognizing people's faces but I can confidently tell you right here that I have never seen him before at the pack," Jocelyn replied.

The evil aura surrounding the intruder made her subconsciously rub her palms together.

"Are you saying there is a possibility he might be a threat to Anna?" Audrey demanded. She tilted her head and gazed at the lady by his side who was obviously worried just like her.

"Let's hope we are wrong," Jocelyn murmured as she stared at the guy who had stepped into the fighting ring.

Since he won't stop moving forward Joanna had no other option but to step backwards and properly examine her new opponent.

Unlike how her system normally analysed the identity of the ones she came across no notification popped up. Because of that, she wasn't able to know anything about the guy standing in front of her.

Apart from his green eyeballs, there was nothing special or weird about the slim guy in front of her.

"Are you ready or do you want me to give you some time to regain your strength?" The guy in a black shirt asked, a hint of mockery evident in his voice.

[My system wasn't able to analyze the identity of those figures in black cloaks earlier. Is he perhaps a part of their team?]

Joanna studied the guy in silence hoping there was something on his body that would give his identity away.

"That is not necessary. Let's get over with this as soon as possible," Joanna replied sternly. She moved around as the guy did and she didn't forget to study all his movements.
