Chapter 0297
1 swallowed the lump in my throat as the wolf got even closer.
Just as she reached the branch I was on and swiped her claws in my direction to throw me off balance. I released the branch I was holding onto and the branch I stood on flung so hard that it smacked her right in the face, knocking her off the tree.
It all happened so fast that I barely even saw it flinging me as well. I flung through the air like I was a bird; I was as high as the drones in the sky, except I had no parachute so if I fell, I would go splat all over the hard ground.
I could see the entire arena from where I flew through the sky. The wolves all looked up at me and were howling and growling at the same time. I got sight of the audience who had their mouths agape and they were pointing in awe and fear. I saw Nan’s mouth drop when she saw that it was me who was flying through the sky.
Her reaction came fast though once realization and shock wore off, she started to scream out of fear for my life.
I didn’t have enough strength to see Gavin. I couldn’t bear to look at either the disappointment on his face or the fear. The ground started to come fast; I turned my body so I would stay in the arena area, and I faced downward so I would land hard on the ground.
A surge of power washed over me and I suddenly felt stronger than I had had in a long time. Fur broke out all over my skin and I heard my wolf howling in my head; something I hadn’t heard in so long
My bones started to reshape and form; during the first shift, it was a very painful process. Over time, it gets easier until you don’t feel it at all. I hadn’t shifted in a while, so there was certainly some tension and extreme discomfort. But as soon as I heard my clothes tearing and shredding all over the ground, a new energy surged through my veins and the discomfort I felt was a thing of the past.
I landed on all fours in the center of the arena, taking everyone by surprise. The first thing I noticed upon landing was I was significantly smaller than the others. I was a pup in comparison to some of them and it was intimidating. But my wolf wasn’t afraid; in fact, she was very confident in her skills just as I was of mine. Being in this form, her emotions came pouring into me and I felt like I understood her more than I ever had.
After the shock wore off, I was the main target. I faced attack after attack; I might have been small, but I was fast and I was skilled in combat, even in wolf form apparently. My wolf was all over the place before they could even blink. She had them taken down in seconds. She was careful not to kill anyone, if she got close to it, I’d pull the
reins to settle her down.
There were a few that refused to surrender, not wanting to be taken down by a mere pup, but I managed to damage them so badly that it would be a miracle if they could walk again.
An hour into the fight and buzzer was sounding around the battle zone, halting everyone in place.
“That marks the end of round 2 for the day,” the announcer said over the loudspeaker. “Group B may now shift back into their human forms and return to the changing rooms for further instructions.”
Those who could shift back did so immiedalty. Others took bit longer because their wolves refused to release control. 1 noticed Tabby hadn’t changed back so I assumed she was still fighting for control with her wolf.
Some were so badly damaged that the medics had to come and help them off the battle zone.
I didn’t shift back right away; I know nudity wasn’t a big deal amongst shifters, but I could never get used to being naked around others. I’d rather do that in private, thank you very much.
I turned around, looking at the oncoming crowd, the paparazzi, and the naked competitors… it was overwhelming.
But then my eyes found his… Gavin. He was standing off to the side, his eyes pouring into mine and all I could see
