My Mate Is An Omega – Chapter 36

Caitlyn POV

For the first few seconds, there was only silence. Not only had we been caught off guard by the unexpected challenge, but we were also trying to figure out if it was some kind of joke. I didn’t know what Caleb had been doing for the past two months, nor did I care, but he was clearly in no shape to fight. Even if he was, how dare he try to ruin what my mate and I had!

They should be supervised by an Elder or an Alpha, and the loser was the one who submitted first. Since wolves were proud creatures, most challenges ended in death; the thought alone sent chills down my spine.

Her heart was beating so fast… did I really scare her that much? At that moment, I remembered she had never been on a battlefield. She had never seen something so brutal. I cursed myself for making her watch such a gruesome scene.

I pulled her closer to me, diving my nose into her wet hair to breathe in her tranquilizing scent. My hands traveled across her bare skin, desperate to feel her; not in a s****l way, though.
