Chapter 298

**Chapter 0298**

I sat there, frozen, as I watched Judy fly through the air. She had no parachute and nothing to catch her. If she fell, it could be the end for her. But at that moment, I was too shocked to move.

At the last moment, she transformed into her wolf form. I had never seen her like this before, and it stirred something deep inside me that I couldn’t ignore. My wolf wanted to break free, which was unusual for him. He usually didn’t resist me, but now he was eager to be released.

for control. It had been a really long time since he had done this.

I couldn’t remember the last time he had taken charge.

Judy was much smaller than the others, but she was not incompetent. She fought with all her strength.

She fought with skill and speed, and in the end, she came out on top. She defended herself well and landed some solid hits on her opponent. Her technique was impressive, especially with the element of surprise on her side. She could see her opponents clearly, but they couldn’t foresee her moves.

She kept herself hidden until she felt ready for them to see her.

But still, the thought that something might have happened to her made my chest ache by the end of it.

“Who is that girl who flew through the air?” one of the Lycans asked.

Mica asked from his seat.

There were four Lycan chairmen in total, and I was the strongest among them. While there were many others with Lycan blood around the world, only the chairmen came to these events. The Lycans acted as the judges of the gathering, and their presence was important.

Events unfolded, and a few judges were appointed to help with the final decision-making.

“I believe her name is Judy Montague,” Jeremy, another Lycan, said, his eyes fixed on Judy’s wolf. “She’s quite talented. Her…”

Professors praised her, and even Levi said he was impressed with her skills.

Mica nodded. “We’ll have to keep her in mind,” she said thoughtfully. “What do you think, Gavin?”

Gavin replied, “We’d be foolish not to consider her.”

“I won’t pass her to the next round,” I said without thinking twice.

“Really?” Mica asked, surprised. “Do you think she would survive it?”

“Of course she would. If I had to bet money on anyone…”

“Surviving? It would be Judy,” Jeremy joked with a laugh.

Suddenly, I felt a chill run through me. I turned to face them. They were both smiling as they watched the ongoing fight. The timer was still counting down, and any minute now, something big was going to happen.

The fight was over, and the sounds of the match faded away.

Neither of them noticed my icy glare.

“What do you mean, survive?” I asked. “Death is against the rules.”

Mica looked at me for a moment and then quickly turned his attention back to the others.

He turned his eyes back to the fight.

“Only for the first week,” he told me.

“What?” I asked again, this time louder and more forceful. I wanted to make sure they both looked at me with concern. Even though I was trying to sound strong, I could see the wariness in their expressions.

The other Lycan chairmen knew when to avoid pushing my buttons. If they did, it wouldn’t end well for them.

“The second and third week of death isn’t penalized,” Jeremy explained with narrowed eyes, looking directly at me. “You’d know this if you had attended the last meeting.”

A decade ago, we had a competition,” Mica said.

“Or maybe it was two decades ago,” he added, shaking his head.

“Back then, he was a newly appointed Alpha,” Jeremy chuckled.

“That’s true,” Mica agreed, laughing along.

I turned back to the fight, ready for the next round.

“What are the rules for the next rounds?” I asked, my voice tense with impatience.

Mica sighed and looked back at me.

“They can choose to die, or they can choose to—”

Mica explained, “They don’t have to lose their lives. If they don’t submit and surrender, their opponent can take their life without facing any consequences.”

“It doesn’t have to be a fight to the death,” she added.

Jeremy spoke up, “But if they are stupid and stubborn, which a few clearly are, then it will be a problem.”

I felt a chill run through me…

Suddenly, the buzzer went off, grabbing my attention. Everyone began to move toward the arena.

The group transformed back into their human forms. They were all naked and crowded together in the locker rooms.

I noticed a small wolf standing in the middle of the arena. She looked up at the sky for a moment, as if she was thanking the stars.

The Moon Goddess stood quietly, waiting for something. She glanced back at the crowd of shifters, who were returning to the locker rooms in their natural forms. They were all naked, but she managed to hold back her emotions.

Her gaze locked onto mine, and her eyes seemed to hold me in place.

She stared at me for a long time. Then, without warning, she turned and sprinted away in the opposite direction from everyone else. My heart raced. I felt a strong urge to follow her, and I didn’t think I could hold back.
