Chapter 50
Third Person
.
Being able to train in the palace gives their pack an advantage, and others will think that the royals will favor the trainers’ pack because of the loyalty and allegiance that they may pledge.
There were 150 participants, and they would be screened through a knockout battle. They will be paired randomly and will have to fight. The loser will be out permanently. They can choose to stay in the palace as spectators, or they could go back to their pack.
The next round will be named a riot. There were three of them fighting. It’s up to them how they will be able to knock down their opponents when they are fighting two-to-one. This round will be able to teach them how to win in an outnumbered situation.
Round three will be for teamwork. The twenty-five of them will be divided into five groups with five members each. This will make them prove their ability to adapt to different circumstances, especially when they are from different packs. They should be able to learn how to connect to win.
And the last round will be the battle royal. The team that will win the third round will be battling against each other. Being together as a team, they should at least learn something about each other that they will use to take them down.
Because they want to form camaraderie, the criteria for this round will be based on the number of hits they will give. They will be wearing gear that will detect the hits, which will be automatically recorded on the board. It is for everyone to see and know that the tournament is fair and just.
“As the rules have been explained to you about this round, we will proceed to our first round, the knockout. Please look on the board, as your name will be picked electronically. We will try to finish this round in one week, so if ever, do not rush fighting and think about what you need to do when you’re in the center of this field with your opponent.” Kevin, Calvin’s warrior, said He was the one who was assigned to lead the tournament. He is very strict and looks into details. Even the slightest cheating would not work on him.
“Let’s pick our first pair of fighters,” he said, and then the screen started to show the roulette, like, with the names of the participants. “Loly and Rena,” Kevin said, looking at the fighters, and there stood two she-wolves. They were asked to go to the center, and Kevin called one of the warriors who was assigned to become the referee for the day.
Loly and Rena were both good fighters; everyone could see how much they wanted to stay and continue the tournament, and they would have the chance to train in the palace. It was their motivation, so they were really giving their best to show their skills and talents. As for the king, he was sure that every pack chose their best fighters. He could see how enthusiastic everyone was, and with Loly and Rena having their first match, the crowd became more excited.
Freya was worried about the she-wolves, who would be fighting male wolves. That’s why she didn’t go and watch, but did her training instead. Surely there were strong she-wolves. She knows that. The effort and discipline that they put themselves into so they will be able to be as strong as others cannot be compared to anything. There will be no amount of money that can pay for that.
But male wolves were naturally stronger than female wolves. Being an omega is one of the proofs. There were a lot more she-wolves omega than males, and the ratio will be another proof. “Princess, you’re out of yourself again. Why don’t we just watch the tournament?” Rapha asked,
“I was just concerned about the she-wolves,” she replied.
“It’s natural; you’re the future queen, so you start to feel your bond with your people. But the tournament was safe, and the king as well as Matteo were there. You have nothing to worry about. They will never let any casualties or anyone get severely injured.”Rapha replied.
“I guess you’re right,” she replied, continuing with her training. Camila had not been with her since she was with Rapha. She let her watch Alec do his training with Calvin, and even the beta didn’t like it. He had no choice since she allowed it. He even asked for Matteo’s help even if he already knew the outcome, and, just as he thought, he couldn’t do anything about it either.
Now he had to watch Alec and Camila look at each other from time to time, and he was getting pissed since he didn’t have his mate yet. Everyone was busy with the training and the tournament while something evil was brewing on the outskirts of the palace. They had no idea that a threat to Freya’s life that they were thinking of was in motion and might happen soon.
“Is everything ready?” asked the man. “Of course,”
“What about the princess? Are you sure that she’s not the child from the Howler’s Pack that Matteo said was his mate?”
“I think so.”
“What do you mean you think so?” the man asked angrily.
“She has no scent, so I don’t know if she was the same girl that the prince was talking about,” the man answered fearfully.
“How the hell did he know that she was his mate?”
“I don’t know either, my Lord. Does that mean that the prophecy has changed?”
“There’s no way that it will change. There may be some variable that will interrupt it, but the outcome will be the same unless we do something about it.”
“But we had already killed the entire Howlers Pack, so there was no one from there who could be mated to the prince.”
“Have you seen Freya’s wolf?”
“No, my Lord. We didn’t join the pack run when she transformed. But according to everyone who was there, her wolf was gray.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Not silver?”
“Gray is what they were saying; everyone in the palace was there, and they all said it was gray.” “Then we have nothing to worry about. But to be sure, ask someone to follow her all the time.” “Yes, my Lord,” the man replied and left.
They were in the mansion owned by a wealthy businessman whom the man was called Lord, killed. They needed a hideout to prepare for the war that he had been planning for a very long time. He should have done that many years ago, but he wanted to do it before Matteo took the throne.
‘I am going to put you where you should belong, Marco. They don’t know you, but I do. I know what you did before.’
