Chapter 11
the crowd watched in silence as the three opponents slowly circled each other when suddenly Michael lunged at Tom and before Tom could react he'd felt his shoulder shred open by Michael's powerful claws. Toms eyes widened in shock and panic, blood begin to pour from his shoulder and just as loud gasps erupted from the crowd Tom suddenly hit the ground rolling over on his back while rolling over in pain just as the fight begin it was over for Tom and he was already out of the battle for king.

The battle was now down to just Michael and Billy. Michael grinned inwardly as he saw the sudden look of fear come into Billy's eyes just before disappearing as quickly as it had come. Billy backed up and Michael suddenly lunged at him swinging his dangerously sharp paw at him and missing leaving Billy a chance to hit Michael in the chest causing him to stumble backward losing his footing a bit.

Maria watched the battle and stood in complete silence feeling fear overtake her small frame as Billy once again hit Michael a hit which didn't appear to affect him as he shook it off and once again lugged at Billy.

Maria felt he legs moving her forward she was trying to get closer to him but her mother pulled her back and held her firmly in place. "No, you can't ..." Amy said softly into Maria ear and Maria sighed and watched as Billy turned on Michael with his sharp teeth bared and the two bodies once again clashed into each other in a mass of mated rolling fur, parted and then clashed into each other once again.

Suddenly Michael hit Billy sending him flying backwards then moving quickly Michael stood over Billy pinning him to the ground with his two front paws planted firmly. Billy struggled against Michaels hold on him and seeing no escape he finally gave up. "Go ahead...do it" he yelled at Michael his word barley understandable because of his pants of exhaustion.

Michael quickly removed his left paw and slashed Billy's face causing him to howl out in pain as he rolled over instantly reverting back to his human form as the crowd erupted into applause the King had been crowned.

Maria watched the crowd embrace Michael for a few moments as the crowd embraced him with a sad smile.
He had did it and now he was King and he could have any female wolf he wanted so why would he pick her she wondered to herself. She shook her head and then slowly being walking out of the wooded area towards her house as salty tears slowly begin to spill from her emerald eyes.

She was almost out of the woods when she heard the loud gasps and then the sound of a heard of footsteps coming towards her "What the..." she whispered as she turned around and suddenly found herself lifted into the air by a very bright overtaking light. What was it? She did not know but it was warm and consuming.

"The orb" someone from the crowd yelled as Maria finally understood what was happening and that's when Maria looked over towers her left and saw that Michael was too floating in the air surrounded by the really bright light.

Maria just couldn't believe it, she had been chosen Queen by the orb and that had never happened before usually the king chose his own Queen but the orb this time didn't give Michael an option, this time it chose the Queen itself and Maria was not sure how she felt about that after all she didn't want Michael to want her just because the orb had told him to.
