“You either tap out or you get knocked out?” All the males and females chant as one voice. Cash smiles at this, pleased with the response of his minions.
“Rya, are you ready?” I’m not sure, I have never had a lesson in fighting before. I don’t give him an answer, and he doesn’t wait for one as he blows a whistle very lightly so it doesn’t hurt our ears.

This male is on me before I have time to blink. He’s got me one way, then the other, as he’s trying to pin me against the mat in some kind of ninja move. I wiggle out of his hold only because I’m stronger, but he manages to catch me with an elbow to the lower jaw near my ear that makes me see
stars.
He’s quick as he assaults every inch of my body.
“Do you want to quit? All you need to do is tap out.‘
“Cash
has his eyes on me, looking,
king, waiting for an answer.
“No.” I face this little wolverine head on. He pounds on my body again and again. The Nature of my Wild is not happy about this little male hurting the skin side. She slowly starts to make an appearance. A growl rumbles out with our displeasure.
“Rya, no wolves here. Put her away.” Cash takes a step toward me, and I try to rein her in, shaking with the effort.
This male seizes his opportunity and lays me out hard, falling to the ground. He’s on me in an instant, no mercy. He has my arm, angling it up in such a way that if he continues, it’s going to break. The pain is too much, and my hand goes to tap out. Before Ido,I notice the way Cash is looking at me, as it he knew I would just tap out. Like he is expecting this. So I grit my teeth in my jaw and take
this pain; I take it because I can. It’s actually not as bad as the whip against my back.

Book Chapter12
“Tap out ”
“The little male’s voice is in my ear as more pressure is exerted on my arm. A groan tumbles out, and he pleads with me. 1 don’t think that this male wants to do what he’s been trained to do. I try to break the hold, I try to get out, to fight against this hold, but I don’t know how. At least I am trying.
“Please tap out.” There’s a desperation in his voice now. I think only I can hear it, he’s whispering to me so quietly. His face is red in concentration, and I’m red with the effort I’m putting up. I’m trying with all I have to break his hold, but I just can’t, and the snap
echoes inside the
building as all eyes are on the fight, everyone cringing with the sound. Cash is instantly on me.
“Why didn’t you tap out?” He’s shocked.
“I’m not a quitter.” My voice travels between the spaces in my clenched teeth.
The small juvenile wolf rocks back and forth in dread. “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.” He looks like he’s going to get sick.
A trickling of older wolves starts to circle around us as they hear about what just happened, how I wouldn’t submit, that I just kept on fighting until I couldn’t anymore. Hushed whispers: Is that her? What did she do? She never gave up?
Their voices circle around me. The pain starts to set in, and I feel slightly nauseated with it.
“Can you get up?” I shake my head no. I can’t move as I lay there holding my arm. I can feel the blood soaking into my shirt, onto the mat. I can’t look, I know the bone is out of my skin.
Closing my eyes, I try to breathe through the pain the same way I tell my laboring females to do.
It’s a concentration of wills, my will against the pain’s will. I don’t make a sound, just bear it.
“Rya, can you open your eyes for me?” Ido, and it’s a nice older wolf with silver hair. He’s got kind, caring eyes
“I need to take your shirt off and look at your arm. Is that okay with you?”
“Yes,” Thiss out.
“Cash, come help me sit her up.” It takes two of them, as I am stiff and just need to breathe.
He opens his black bag, and a needle plunges into my good arm. It stings slightly with the medication he’s using. Next, he brings out scissors, cutting my shirt off from the back and down the side of my arms, so it easily peels off my head.
“What happened to you?” the kind doctor asks as my back is exposed for everyone’s eyes. This is the first time more than a handful of wolves have seen my back. Voices grow stronger, disbelief of what they are seeing on a female’s back.
Cash looks toward my back, eyes dilating slightly. I’m not sure what’s worse in his mind: my arm bone sticking out of my flesh or the lasting kiss the whip’s mark left on my pristine flesh.
“What happened?” Cash’s voice sounds far away, the medication taking its hold on my system. It’s making my vision fuzzy, my tongue thick, all the moisture has left my mouth.
“It was from the effort I put into my fight for what I thought was mine.” The words come out thick, slightly slurred. The effects of the medication raging in my system
He can’t look in my eyes and I can’t hold his as the pain medication takes its hold on me.
“Cash.” That Silverback male’s voice tone is harsh. It’s the first time I have heard sound waves make the wolves freeze.
Cashs
hsquares up his shoulders to his father, like a male ready to receive his punishment.

“You call him, tell him you allowed his female to fight before she was ready, and she got hurt on your watch” Cash nods his head to his father in agreement.
