Game of Destiny by Dripping Creativity novel Chapter 97

Battle of Fate Summary

Armeria “Amie” Winstone is nearing her eighteenth birthday in one of the strongest werewolf packs. While most werewolves gain their wolf between ages sixteen and seventeen, Amie still has not received hers. This makes her feel weak, insecure, and fearful of being seen as a disappointment. Despite this, she has a loving family and a close connection to the pack’s leaders, having grown up alongside the Alpha’s son, James.

During the full moon celebration on the night she turns eighteen, Amie discovers her fated mate by scent—James, the future Alpha and her childhood friend. However, instead of joy, the moment turns devastating when James publicly rejects her. He claims that she cannot be his Luna because she does not have her wolf, and he believes the pack needs a strong leader’s mate. His rejection shatters Amie emotionally and brings silent shock across the pack.

The aftermath creates tension between the families. Amie’s parents are heartbroken and furious, willing to challenge the Alpha to defend their daughter. Amie realizes her presence will cause division, broken alliances, and pain for the pack. Feeling like a burden and unwilling to be the reason her family suffers, she quietly decides to leave. Before dawn, she packs her belongings, writes a loving goodbye letter to her parents and brother, and leaves her home and pack behind, stepping into an uncertain future alone.

Game of Destiny

Chapter 97-1

The morning light seeping in through the window woke me up. I had a moment of confusion as I couldn’t understand how the light

was coming in from that direction. I was used to the windows in my room and the winde wack in the cabin and neither of them

had light hitting the bed from that direction. My brain woke up enough to remind me I was in my new bedroom, in my new house, The one I shared with Finlay.

“Go back to sleep, sweetheart,” Finlay grumbled and placed a kiss on my shoulder and buried his face in my hair. I smiled and relaxed. For the next hour or two I was half sleeping, half enjoying the feeling of Finlay’s body against mine. I enjoyed the feeling of the pack bond and the connection to the land, Coming home was the best thing ever. I felt Finlay stir. He rolled onto his back and pulled me with him so I ended up on top of him.

“You look more relaxed than in a while,” he said, brushing locks of hair out of my face.

“I am. It feels amazing being home. Even better to be home with you I feel like I could conquer the world,” I told him. He laughed and kissed me.

“We rank third in one Game and you are aiming for world domination.” I laughed with him.

“Maybe not today. Today I’m moving, we have to talk to Jake and Shelly and we need to call my parents and spend time with the pack,” I told him.

“I see. I agree, you are too busy to take over the world today. Let’s put it on the agenda for Thursday.” I rolled my eyes. My fingers traced the faint scar from where James had clawed him. His tattoo looked unharmed, it had healed perfectly. I placed a kiss on it. “All better,” Finlay told me.

“I love you,” I said.

“I love you too, Red.” We kissed and got up to start the day.

objected. After breakfast, Sam and Medow joined us in the meeting room. Sam refused to put Martina down on her play mat, no one Even Martina seemed happy being in her dad’s arms. I headed for the Luna’s chair, but Finlay took my hand and led me over to his chair. He sat down and pulled me into his lap.

‘Seriously?’ I asked him in a mindlink.

‘I have told you my views on this table and its seating arrangement. This is the solution until we get a round one.‘ I rolled my eyes, but didn’t get up..

“We will get a round table. Amie is not sitting all the way on the other side,” Finlay told the other two. Sam looked at him and Medow giggled.

“I’m not surprised,” she said. “He has been patient for six years, now he needs to get six years worth of protectiveness and neediness out of his system.”

“No one objects?” Finlay asked, as if he hadn’t heard Medow’s comment. I giggled and kissed his cheek. No one objected. “Good. Next on the agenda is we need a new Beta. Amie and I have a suggestion, but I would like to hear your thoughts about it.”

“We suggest Jake,” I said. Sam nodded and looked pleased.

“Oh, I like it,” Medow said. “Shelly has been an absolute treasure while you have been away. Helping with the pack and Martina. It has been nice to have someone to talk to and she is so calm and organised.” I nodded.

“Jake is a good choice as well. He saved us a couple of times during the Game and he is brave and loyal,” Sam said.

“I would say it’s a done deal then,” Finlay concluded. He sounded pleased. “Amie and I will talk to them and we hope they will say

yes.

“I need to clear out my office and move my things into yours,” I said

“Ours,” he corrected me.

“And we need to talk about the mating ceremony,” Medow said.

“I need to pack my things/first, and I need to call my parents,” I said

“Fine. How about we all be responsible adults today. After dinner, Shelly, Matilda, you and I will have a ladies night and we will help you pack, you and Matilda can tell us all about the games and we can gossip,” Medow suggested.

“Oh, yes please,” I agreed.

“I’m with him,” Sam said.

“Why do you want to be away from me an entire evening?” Finlay asked.

“Some advice from someone who has been mated for years. The men will be clingy and needy. It’s cute, and it’s tempting to give in to these cute faces,” she told me, pinching Sam’s cheek. “But you need to set boundaries. You don’t want to give in every time. It’s healthy to spend some time apart from time to time.”

“No. Don’t listen to her. What does she know?” I looked up at Finlay who was giving me puppy dog eyes. I covered his eyes with my

“I love you and I will miss you, but I will have an evening with my friends and you can help Sam and Jake look after the pups,” I

“Why don’t you love me?” Sam asked.

Now it was mine to claim.
