    About this ebook

    Lorenzo never expected to be looking for a new pack.
    But when his Alpha's behavior pushes him out, he finds himself fighting in the tournament to show off his skills to potential new Alphas.
    Only problem is, his old Alpha just can't seem to let things go...

    Thatcher never thought he'd end up in the tournament either. Or that he'd end up sharing a tent with someone as sexy as Lorenzo.
    He just wants to focus on competing. But, man. It's difficult.
    This could get real complicated real fast.

      *****

      Chapter 1

      Lorenzo

      I crested the rise and stopped, adjusting my backpack.

      The place was already teeming with activity, plenty of people having already arrived.

      The Silver Tip Pack, the pack hosting the event this year, had already set up various temporary structures, including tents and wood cabins that could be assembled and disassembled quickly.

      I wasn't exactly looking forward to camping for the next few days, but understood the necessity of it.

      It wasn't like we could all stay at a hotel and gather in one of the ballrooms to have a tournament fight every couple of hours.

      Well, I guess we could, but it wouldn't end well.

      I was certain it would be at least frowned upon.

      My smile faded as the enormity of the situation settled in.

      This was it. No going back.

      Once I went down there and signed up for the event, I was officially cutting ties with the Spearhead Pack.

      I knew it was the right decision. I knew I needed to move on.

      But I still felt that fluttery feeling of uncertainty in the center of my stomach.

      I knew it could ended badly when I first started a relationship with Haas.

      Scratch that. I knew it was probable that it would end badly.

      But I'd taken the risk.

      Even though that decision led directly to this moment, I couldn't regret it. Maybe it had just accelerated the inevitable. I'd always been a little shaky on the Haas's qualifications for being Alpha, and when we had finally broken up and he'd become so petty towards me, those reservations had only solidified.

      Sighing, I adjusted the straps on my shoulders and made my way down.

      I kid ran up to me as soon as I crossed the edges of the encampment.

      Are you here for the tournament? he asked, notebook and pen at the ready.

      Yes. Lorenzo Alba of the Spearhead Pack.

      He quickly scribbled something down in his notebook.

      Great! We have a place for you. Right this way please.

      I followed the kid passed the largest tents, the scents coming from them letting me know they were probably the mess halls. He led me past the center of the camp and towards the edges, where sea of smaller tents had been placed.

      He made his way directly to one and opened it up.

      This one here is for you. You might be getting someone else in there too, depending on our turnout. We're serving lunch and dinner today, next meal will be in about a couple of hours. Latrines are about a twenty minute walk west, and the river is about a ten minute run in the opposite direction. In case you want to take a bath. If you need anything, just look for anyone in one of these shirts. He tugged at his royal blue tunic. The Silver Tip Pack wants to make sure everything goes smoothly for everyone involved.

      Thank you.

      The kid inclined his head and disappeared.

      I ducked into the tent, pausing as I let my eyes adjust to the dim interior.

      It was actually more spacious inside than I had anticipated.

      Two cots were placed at opposite ends, with a trunk at that foot of each one. It was simple and serviceable, but clean, and when I sat down on the cot, surprisingly comfortable.

      A five-star hotel it wasn't, but they had obviously made
