Regretted Rejection : Wrath of the Moon

At 5:00 PM;

On the Forrester pack's training grounds, Xander was concluding the training of his pack warriors. He had heard about Maya's punishment to her team members. He was purposely delaying leaving the pack grounds, simply so he could catch a glimpse of her.

Just as his warriors got off the training ground, Maya and her team walked in. Each and everyone in her team walked in perfect synchronisation, ready in their training outfit. "Pack Trainer Lockhart, do you mind if we use the pack training ground?"

"Please, be my guest." Xander replied calmly.

"Pack Trainer Xander, why don't we make it interesting?" one of the warriors interrupted.

Maya gave him a disinterested look but he still continued, "If these Wrath of the Moon team members are able to achieve their goal of clearing warrior level time set minus four minutes and fifteen seconds, we will not bother them and also help in their investigation. But if they aren't able to achieve their goal then they will leave the pack territory today itself. How about it? Do you dare?"

"Those are hardly fair terms." Maya said.

"We knew you wouldn't accept the bet. You are just a coward Maya Forrester... No, Sorry... Maya Wright" the warrior said derisively.

Xander's wolf was rising, he wanted to rip out the warrior's head for disrespecting her. Xander was struggling to suppress his wolf.

"I meant that if we achieve it then you would still be hindering us. If you were able to solve your problems by yourself, your Alpha wouldn't have called us in to save your asses." Maya stated calmly.

"You... Fine.. what do you want if you guys win" he asked.

"If we win, I want our names on the wall of glory. Agreed?" Maya asked.

"Agreed." the warrior stated.
