Chapter 106
Their eyes darted to the car, searching for Leo’s figure, but of course, he wasn’t there.
1 casually removed my sunglasses, flashing a knowing smile. “It’s just me. I left your Alpha on the side of the road.”
Gaps echoed around me as jaws practically hit the ground. With a shrug, I turned and strolled into the hospital, enjoying their stunned expressions.
Since Leo said I could do whatever I wanted with his car, I figured I’d take him at his word.
After all, he could find his own way back to the pack.
I had better things to do.
I made my way to the hospital, where Emma was recovering.
She looked much better than the last time I’d seen her, her face no longer pale and drawn.
A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she saw me walk in.
“Hey,” I greeted her softly, trying to keep the worry from my voice.
“Hey yourself,” Emma replied. Her voice was warm and strong, and she looked like she was recovering well, making me feel a little relieved.
She said to me gleefully, “I heard about you going to duel Sorcia, which is awesome! So I haven’t been idle, I’ve been gathering a lot of information for you. It feels good, like going back to school.”
I couldn’t help but smile.
Once upon a time in school, Emma and I were the best of partners. She was very smart and flexible in her thinking, both in her studies, and in facing
her enemies.
As long as we teamed up, we wouldn’t lose.
Emma began to give me a clear and precise analysis of Sorcia’s fighting style and techniques, and it was clear that she had a deep understanding of her attack patterns and weaknesses.
These insights were thoughtful and practical, and would definitely help me in battle.
Before we parted, I took Emma’s hand, determination shining in my gaze, “I promise you, I’ll win this fight, and I’ll make sure she comes to your bedside to apologize.”
Emma nodded to me as she said, “No matter what, I want you to stay safe, that’s all that matters.”
The next few days flew by in a blur of training and preparation.
Every spare moment was spent honing my skills, pushing my body to its limits, and preparing myself mentally for the challenge ahead.
Emma’s insights were invaluable, and I could feel my confidence growing as I mastered the techniques she had described.
Lena, ever vigilant, stayed by my side, her presence a constant source of strength and comfort.
And then, the day of the duel arrived.
News of our duel spread like wildfire, and by the time I arrived at the dueling arena, it was packed.

After all, this was about the dignity of each of the two packs, and whoever lost this duel, the other pack’s werewolf 1. bad in front of the other for a long time.
As I scanned the crowd, my eyes found Leo sitting on the sidelines, his gaze locked onto me.

Leo smiled back, but it was strained, his concern eviden
“I know. Just don’t take any unnecessary risks. Sorcia doesn’t play fair.”
The atmosphere in the arena was electric, the noise of the crowd a constant hum in the background
Across the arena, Sorcia stood at the other end, her posture confident and her eyes locked onto mine.
She gave me a smirk, a silent challenge that only fueled my determination.

My heart pounded in my chest as I took my position, Lena’s presence strong within me, filling me with a sense of calm.
This was it–the moment I had been preparing for.
