One of the elders who is managing the tournament stands. “Alphas. No one will attempt to take your mates from

With that, the tension dissipates. Liam guides Angel back to our table, but his eyes haven't left the Alpha. When

at our table that belong to Guardians. It feels like it solidifies.

After lunch, the packs with warriors still in battle go back to the battlefield. Others choose to go watch while

Throughout the day, | have spotted my father. The toddler | saw him with yesterday is definitely his son. I've also
seen his mate. She's younger than he is. Not quite as young as | am, but I'd guess in her early 20's, closer to
Angel's age, meaning my father is old enough to be her father. It makeswonder if she agreed to this mating
or if her family forced her into it.

As I've watched, I've picked up on certain things. When | was younger, | didn’t understand the dynamics of being
a good Alpha. My father was strong, and he insisted on showing his strength and dominance to his pack. As a
pup, | thought this was a good thing. Now, as a Luna and being mated to a strong Alpha, I've learned that when
you are a powerful Alpha, and you are good to your pack, you don’t have to constantly prove yourself to them.
When you earn their respect, they accept that you are their leader and trust that you will do what's right for the
pack. They don’t constantly challenge you, requiring you to continually prove your position. That is what | see
when | watch my father. His pack doesn’t trust him, meaning, they don’t respect him.
| don’t know if that is new, since my mother and | were banished, or if this is always how our pack dynamics
were. You see things differently as a child than you do as an adult.
As I've watched, I've also seen Jack, my father's Gamma and the one that let my mother and | leave so long ago.
| need to try to find a way to thank him. If he hadn’t let my mother go. | would most likely be dead.
When we get back to our cabins, our warriors are celebrating, happy with our showing today. Eli and | check in on
all of them to make sure they haven't been harassed by their previous pack members. Sof them had been
approached earlier in the day, but since everyone realized that there were three Guardians here, they have been
left alone.
