You're Not My Mate novel Chapter 36

"You ok?" I asked her. She nods. I don't exactly believe her but I don't want to pry right now. I took my hand off of her and refocused on the door. When they let us out we all got in our grid formation. I could see Okalen beside me. I turned my head towards him, he had a cut that trailed from his hairline down over his eye, and ended just above his top lip. I glared at him, he cowered away. Violet glanced at him, her eyes flashed with pain, slight fear, and a lot of anger. I looked up to Violets guest area to see all of the boys including her father either glaring at me, or looking worried at Violet. I looked over at her. The events of last night ran though my head. I don't know why I saved her, I could have just left her. I should have just left her, I'm not supposed to help her we are trying to kill each other.

'You can't deny that you have a pull towards her. I bet you acted on that.' Victor told me.

'Victor, you felt it too, you can't say it's just me that felt it.' I said. His presence retreated to the back of my head. The Camera went in front of us all and scanned us, it scanned the emotions, wounds, and our power status. I looked up at the screen as I saw me and Violets information presented to the audience.

Violet King:

Emotions: anger, determination, annoyance, bloodthristy, can not detect last emotion.

Wounds: bruises on wrists, neck, and sides.

Power status: high

Logan Mendes:

Emotions: conflicted, anger, confusion, determination, jealousy

Wounds: cut knuckles

Power status: high

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Violet looking at me. I looked over at her, her eyes were masked. They were cold. She gave a slight nod to me, I returned it. The announcer came out to tell us our next task, the arena stayed the same.

"The second game is hand to hand combat. You will fight five people. Do not kill them, that will be tommorow. Today it's just hand to hand, you may wound them as much as you please till them tap out. Good luck!" The announcer yelled. I went to a board that told me the five people picked to battle against me.

Sam

Wayne

Dakota

"The doors only lock when the contestant AND trainer are in the room. The contestants have opportunities to kill each other at night." He explains. I raised my eyebrow growling under my breath. I felt pain last night through the mate bond but I shook it off and didn't mention it to anyone.

"Anyways we have to get going, I want to know what happened yesterday before the games." Sean said. Me and Simon agreed and we left the house. A dog came up to Sean once we got into the spectating room. The dog had black fur with red swirling patterns, also a P.V tattoo under it's left eye. Sean stood up straighter, seeming cautious of the dog.

"Dean, what do you want?" Sean asks his voice was stern. The dog growled.

"You don't know what happened to my master last night? You and masters father should have sensed that something was wrong. Although that explains why it actually happened, and he had to save her." It spoke it's voice deep and gravely.

"What do you mean, what happened last night. I can't tell what happened because her so called mate is here, I'm not her main protective guardian if he is here." Sean explained with worry in his eyes. The dog looked over at me growling. This must be one of the hellhounds Sean was talking about.

"Did you feel anything last night?" It asked.

"I felt pain through the mate bond but I didn't worry about it." I said. I was confused on why I would have to worry about the black wolf. Although Leo was telling at me when I didn't investigate why she was in pain. She is the strongest being I know she would be able to fight off anything that came her way. Right?

"And you didn't go investigate? Let alone tell her damn trainer? Don't you think he would be able to tell you if she was in real danger? Your supposed to be her damn mate after all!" It growled furiously. I snarled. How dare this must disrespect me, and question me?!
