Millie had to sit with her mom. Her dad and Alpha Sika were also competing, but couldn't join in the rounds where their sons were. Carmella and Naomi joined her. Enjoying more cotton candy and water. When they announced her brother the winner, Millie and her mom cheered. Everyone knew how important these trials were, to not just the Alphas, but the packs. It showed how strong your pack was.

"Good job Seth", her dad yelled out to her brother.

Next they had announced AJ vs Roman. Millie shifted in her seat. Both men walked out to the center and when the announcer said go. They ran at each other. Flipping one another and putting the other in a headlock. When things got more intense, Roman shifted into his wolf and AJ followed.

If Millie was being honest, AJ's wolf wasn't as impressive as Roman's, but then again, she had a crush on him.

"Is it wrong of me to want my Alpha to lose or soon to be Alpha?", Carmella whispered to them.

Naomi and Millie laughed. Roman snapped his jaws at AJ, making him jump back. Her brother walked over and sat with Bayley.

"Just finish him Roman", Seth shouted.

Millie threw her water bottle at her brother and he chuckled.

"Whose side are you on?", she asked.

"AJ is a veteran Alpha, but Roman is way stronger no matter his age. His bloodline is to thank for that", her brother said.

Millie realized why Roman wanted an heir so badly.

"Oh shit, Mill, I'm sorry", her brother said.

"Its fine", she said softly.

Seth knew he had hurt her with that. They heard a whine and focused back on the wolves. Roman's had AJ's pinned to the floor. He would snap his jaws at him and growled.

"Roman wins", the announcer said.

His family cheered and so did Lana. Roman shifted back after Dean took him a pair of shorts. Millie couldn't help but to eye him. Sweat dripping down his toned body, his hair wet and loose around his shoulders.

"You did good son", Alpha Sika praised.

Roman nodded. He looked over towards Millie and stood up straighter, he rolled his shoulders back.

"He is definitely flexing in your direction girl", Naomi said to Millie.

Millie looked away from him.

"I agree with you Naomi, he is definitely puffing himself up. That's what wolves do when they're trying to catch the attention of their female.", Brie said.

"Mom", Millie said shyly.

"You can't tell me you don't want all of that, rubbing all over you. I mean, look at that, that is all man", Carmella said.

Millie bit her lip while her eyes raked over him. He smirked and his eyes glowed. He licked his lips.

"They way he is looking at you, I'm surprised you aren't pregnant right now", Bayley said, joining in on the conversation.

"Why can't I look away?", Millie asked.

"Because, muscles", Carmella said.

Someone cleared their throat.

"If we are done ogling that man, can we put our attention back on the trials", Colby said.

Brie looked over at her husband and kissed him. The girls laughed softly. Millie looked back, Roman smiled and sent her a wave. She returned it, before Lana jumped on him and kissed him. She looked away and back down at her lap.

Carmella noticed and looked towards Roman. He was holding Lana up while they walked away. She rubbed Millie's back.

"I'm sure his mom is going to scold them for that. Future Alpha females shouldn't be acting like that. An Alpha has to stay composed and in control at all times. Jumping into his arms is disrespect to Alpha AJ. Its like rubbing it in his face that he lost.", Carmella said.

Naomi nodded.

"Especially since she's a second chance mate, everyone here knows it and knows who you are to him. Its disrespect to you too. Even if you are human", Bayley said.

Her brother nodded.

"She's no Alpha female. There is a time and a place for public displays of affection. Off duty time", Seth said.

Millie nodded. Thinking back, she never once saw her parents be playful towards each other when they were in Alpha mode. When off duty and they were all out to eat, she noticed her dad would reach over and hold her mom's hand or lean over and kiss her cheek. They laughed at their own private jokes and snuck quick kisses like they were teenagers again.

She'd seen her dad pick up her mom and carry her home, but again, they were off Alpha mode. Like her brother said, there was a time and a place.


Roman set Lana down.

"You can't do stuff like that Lana. Its disrespectful", Roman said.

"Why? Because I want to show you affection? You won, I'm allowed to be happy for you and celebrate", Lana said.

"These are trials to see what kind of Alpha I'm going to be. A cocky one is not on my resume. I have to keep things on a level of respect. I still have to do business with these other Alphas, if they don't like the way my pack and I behave or act, they'll take it somewhere else", Roman said.

"Okay, sorry, I was just so excited for you", she said.

"I know, thank you, but keep it to a minimum", Roman said.

Lana nodded.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready for the next round", Roman said.

"Okay, I'll be watching", Lana said.

Roman walked passed her and back to the room that held all the Alphas. Some of them whispered when he passed and chuckled. As a male, he had to be able to control his female. Lana doing as she pleased, made it seem like he can't keep his pack in order.

"Don't pay attention to them", Seth said beside him.

"Yeah", Roman said.

"My sister enjoyed the fight and the show afterwards", Seth said.

Roman chuckled.

"Also my mom and my mate", Seth said.

Seth went to walk away, but Roman stopped him.

"Did she say yes to him?", Roman asked.

"She's going to, yes. You don't want her and Finn has his mate. Alpha AJ is a good pick for her if we had to choose", Seth said.

"Finn? As in your Beta, is her second chance mate?", Roman asked.

Seth nodded. Roman chuckled.

"I would have thought it would have been her Enforcer, Baron", Roman said.

"We thought so too, but he has his mate", Seth said.

"You think I can talk to her?", Roman asked.

"I don't know man, my dad, after what you did. He's just been extra protective of her, you know", Seth said.

Roman nodded.

"Nothing happened between us, me and Lana. I couldn't.", Roman said.

"I know. Your claim is still on her", Seth said.

"Seth and Roman, you're on deck", someone shouted.

Seth looked at Roman.

"I'll see you out there", Seth said.

Roman nodded.


Alpha Sika walked over to the Rollins family. He shook hands with Colby before looking at Millie.

"Well look at you. You've grown so much in the past two years", Sika said, hugging Millie.

Brie hugged Sika.

"Where's your wife?", Brie asked him.

"Scolding the disrespectful future female of this pack", Sika said.

He looked at Millie.

"I hear you might be the future female of the Styles pack. Congrats on that, AJ is a good man and will treat you with the respect you deserve", Sika said.

Millie smiled.

"We do business with them a lot, so we will be seeing each other a lot more", he said, touching her cheek.

Patricia walked over and hugged Brie and Colby. She saw Millie and wrapped her in a tight hug.

"Look at you", she gushed.

They announced that Seth and Roman were next. The families sat together. Sika reached over to Millie.

"After this match, lets go for a walk. There are some things I would like to discuss with you", Sika said.

Millie nodded. Sika asked her father for permission and Colby agreed. He knew this was Sika's last attempt at convincing Roman to choose Millie. Millie looked at Bayley and saw how nervous she looked. She reached over and took her friend's hand.

"Its just trials, besides, my dad always told Seth not to go into his full strength. This way, if another Alpha decides to try to take our pack, he'll be surprised to see Seth's full strength", Millie said.

"I know, I just worry for him", Bayley said.

"The mate bond?", Millie asked.

Bayley looked at her.

"I'm sorry, I forgot you don't feel it", Bayley said.

"Nothing to be sorry for. I should be the one to say sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad.", Millie said.

This match went on longer than everyone thought it would. Neither man would give up.

"That use to be us", Sika said to her dad.

Her dad laughed and nodded.

"Young, soon to be Alphas like to show off sometimes, especially when its against another young soon to be Alpha", Sika said to Millie.

Millie moved to sit between her dad and Sika.

"This won't hurt the peace treaty will it? I mean, when one of them loses", Millie asked.

"Oh no, this is like practice. They both know they can't take their anger out in that manner.", her dad said.

Millie nodded.

"Why are you so worried? You'll be Alpha female of a pack far from ours", her dad said.

Millie didn't realize that. AJ's pack was a little farther away from her dad and Reigns pack.

"Unless my son changes his mind", Sika said.

Millie watched Roman pin Seth. Her brother not giving up. Roman looked over to Millie and saw her face of worry for her brother.

"Damn it", he mumbled.

"Yeah, women will do that to you", Seth groaned.

Seth flipped Roman over his shoulder and pinned him. Seth had him in a headlock. Roman tapped. He couldn't take the look on Millie's face as she worried for her brother. Seth helped him up when they announced Seth the winner.

"You know, that look of worry wasn't for me. It was for you", Seth said, before walking away.

Roman looked back at Millie. She was walking away with his dad. He wondered what that was about.


Once far enough away from the matches, Sika bought Millie more cotton candy, which she took happily.

"My son, since you've gotten sick, has had a complete change of heart. He might not say it or show it, but he has. He worries about you, is constantly looking towards your packs territory, and turns Lana away more than before.", his dad said.

Millie listened quietly, while eating her cotton candy.

"He just might end up choosing you. I just need to know, what your decision would be if he accepted you", Sika said.

"I, I don't know. After everything he put me through, I just", she stopped.

His dad nodded.

"I understand. He hurt you, but I know he can also make it up to you in the end. He will love you like no one has. Right now, he's just trying to please the pack", Sika said.

She nodded.

"I understand that too. My dad taking me to meetings, helped me understand how important it is for an Alpha to have an heir and carry on the name and pack", Millie said.

Sika nodded. He suddenly stopped and looked around. He set his hand on Millie's shoulder.

"What is it?", she whispered.

"Rogues", he whispered.

He looked at her.

"Run Millie", he said.

She shook her head no.

"You have too. Warn the others, now", he shouted.

She took off and ran back towards the matches. Screaming for help. She could hear wolves fighting behind her. Wolves running towards her, one she recognized was her dad, next to him was her brother. Her mom shifted back from her wolf and wrapped Millie in her arms.

"I've got you baby", her mom said.

"Alpha Sika, he", Patricia stopped her.

"Its okay, he was protecting you. No need to explain", she said, rubbing Millie's back.

"Bayley, get her out of here and inside", Brie said.

Bayley took her friend's arm.

"Naomi, Carmella, go with her", Patricia said.

"Mom", Millie said.

Brie cupped her daughter's face in her hands.

"There are too many. I have to go and help", Brie said.

Millie was crying and shaking her head no.

"Take her Bayley, now", Brie said.

Her mom and Patricia took off with the other wolves. There was no use in fighting Bayley, Carmella, and Naomi. With their wolf strength, they could easily carry her inside. Millie paced. Naomi watched from the window to make sure no rogues got this far.

"This is all my fault", Millie said softly.

Her friends heard her.

"No. Rogues attack because they feel like it. I mean, come on, this is the perfect time for them to attack. The trials. All the Alphas from around the world are here.", Carmella said.

Millie was worried for Alpha Sika. She had left him behind because she couldn't help him.

"I hate being human", Millie said.

Bayley took her hand.
