“Whoa!” I exclaimed as I hit the punching bag with my fist. Sweat dripped from my forehead and down the back of my neck. I raised the boxing gloves again and slammed my other fist into the bag.
I reached into the bag next to me. Suddenly, I heard a voice say, “Dol,” from the other side of the bag.
“Sorry,” I replied, trying to calm myself down.
Tabby peeked her head around the bag, a frown on her face.
as she looked at me.
“Is everything okay? You seem distracted today,” she said, narrowing her eyes at me.
It was the day after the first part of the competition. Today was a training day while the first group, Group A, was competing.
Today, A completed their second part of the competition. Tomorrow, my group, Group B, will take their turn with the second portion. So, on this lovely Wednesday, those of us not competing today are at the gym. I
I needed to blow off some steam after my conversation with Nan.
It had been a couple of hours since I last saw her, and I wasn’t quite sure what I would say when I saw her again. I felt bad about how I reacted during our talk, and it was weighing on my mind.
I knew I shouldn’t judge Nan for her choices. She was clearly hurting and confused about Chester. It was obvious to me that she was using Tyler as a way to distract herself from her feelings. Even though I understood this, I still let my emotions get the better of me.
“Hello?” Tabby said, waving her hand in front of my face. I blinked a few times and squinted at her.
“Did you say something?” I asked.
She rolled her eyes.
“You need to focus on the game,” she said, crossing her arms over her chest. “This is serious, and you can’t afford to be distracted.”
“Since when did you become my coach?” I asked her.
rolling my eyes. “Aren’t we competing against each other?”
“Yes, but I like you, and I don’t want to see you dead,” she replied, narrowing her eyes at me. “The last two weeks of the competition have been intense.”
“Competitions are like death matches. We need to be completely focused if we want to survive,” she said.
I knew she was right. I leaned against the wall, trying to calm myself down.
Tabby studied me for a moment longer before she spoke again.
She pursed her lips and stepped closer.
“Do you want to talk about it?” she asked. I could hear the sincerity in her voice and see the kindness in her eyes.
“No,” I replied.
She nodded and thought about it for a moment.
“Do you want to go with me to see Group A’s second match?” she asked.
I nodded in agreement.
“Yes,” I said. I was excited to see what the next match would be like.
My group didn’t get to fight until tomorrow. Then we’ll find out who moves on to the next round.
When we arrived at the arena, it was crowded.
I looked around, trying to spot the one person I knew would be there.
When I found him, my stomach twisted a little. Gavin was sitting with other Lycan Chairmen, and the choice judges were in front of them.
His face was calm as he watched the participants getting ready. They were focused, preparing themselves for what was to come.
In the middle of the battlefield, everyone was ready for action. This time, unlike the last match, they were all holding weapons.
“Wow! We get to use weapons this round!” Tabby exclaimed, her face lighting up with excitement. “I wonder if we can choose our own weapons!”
The air buzzed with anticipation as the team prepared for the challenge ahead.
“I’m going to get a drink. Do you want anything?” I asked, keeping my eyes on Gavin. When he noticed me, his eyes turned dark.
“No, I’m okay,” Tabby replied, moving closer to me.
I was on the battlefield, eager to see more. “Okay,” I said, finally tearing my eyes away from Gavin and heading toward the drink stand.
As I walked, I thought about finding Nan. I had no idea where she was, and I felt a bit lost.
I was starting to feel worried. She was probably with Tyler, and just thinking about it made my stomach twist with nerves. I didn’t trust him. There was something about him that made me uneasy. I considered calling Chester to see if he could help.
I wished I could talk some sense into Nan or do something to keep her safe. But I knew Nan would be angry if I interfered. It wasn’t my place to step in. I had to stay out of it and just be there for her, no matter what.
I was walking around, lost in my thoughts and barely aware of my surroundings. Suddenly, I felt a warm hand wrap around my wrist and pull me into a strong embrace. I found myself against a broad chest, with arms wrapping around me tightly.
Cavin pulled me into a corner and pressed me against a wall. We were in a secluded area, so no one could see us, but we were still outside. My heart raced as I looked up at Cavin’s intense gaze.
