The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241

8 – Greta

There was something about this guy that just got under my skin, no matter how hard I tried to ignore it. Day after day, I found myself watching him spar, even though he didn’t seem to bring anything new or refined to the pack. He showed up late, ignored the rules, and completely disregarded the protocols I had painstakingly set in place. Yet, despite all that, he kept winning—taking down some of the best fighters I had trained. That made it impossible to discipline him, no matter how much I wanted to.

“Do it again,” I called out, trying to sound disinterested, but inside I was curious. I wanted to see if today would be the day I finally broke him. “Try to execute the moves properly this time, Rookie.”

“If I’m winning, does perfect execution really matter, ma’am?” he shot back, eyes locked on Bobby, his current opponent.

“Only if you’re too much of a coward to do it right,” I snapped. “I’m guessing you’re just making up for a lack of other skills.” That got his attention. I nodded sharply to Bobby, who lunged at Finn’s exposed side.

They both rolled expertly, but Finn’s reflexes were on another level. The problem was, his fighting style was rough and unpolished at best, though his stamina was off the charts. It was obvious these rogues were self-taught, using whatever moves they picked up along the way. I had managed to break many bad habits in others, but for some reason, this rookie clung to his like they were lifelines.

“Do. It. Again. Rookie.” I stepped closer, curling my lip in challenge.

“Make me, ma’am,” he said, closing the distance between us. His arms crossed over his massive chest, leaving barely an inch between us.

I opened my mouth to scold him for his insubordination when Josh’s voice cut through the tension. “GRETA. FINN! Your stare down’s gonna have to wait. Let’s go. The Alpha wants to see you both in his office.”
