Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Auren POV

I winced in pain. A low growl rumbled from behind me, which was undeniably Lucien, warning the boy. I clenched my jaw and glanced at him to stop intimidating my opponent. I wanted to win or lose it at my expense. He must have understood because he crossed his arms across his chest with a scowl settling in his face.

Max bounced on his feet in front of me, his victory and sneer apparent on his Exce. Like he implied I was a dumb omega to face him. But what he didn't realize was that I had been beaten so many times by wolves stronger than him that the punch he sent to me was bearable.

He swung his fist toward me again. Somehow, I ducked and managed to dodge it. Angered, he swung another punch, but I dodged him again by bending back. I looked like he was in a hurry to finish the fight. He didn't give me time, and lifting his leg, he spun to kick me in my belly. However, I spun to the right, evading him. Max lost his balance. He fell hard on the ground on lus knees and hands. The audience gasped. I took the chance and kicked him as hard as possible on his butt. He further stumbled, groaning in pain and fell flat on the floor. I didn't give him time to recover. Lifting my leg. I kicked him with all my strength. I expected him to rise and retaliate, but instead, he curled into a ball, whimpering in pain.

There was pin drop silence in the arena as I looked at Max with uneven breaths, wondering what I really did to him,

Few seconds later, Lucien jumped in the ring, Grabbing my waist, he picked me up; bringing me to his eye level. "I'm proud of you, little wolf?" he breathed. From the former of my eye, 1 saw someone helping Max out.

Before I could figure out what was happening. Lucien crashed his lips on mine and carried me out of the ring. Adrenalin gushed in. Logic tossed out of my mind. 1 kissed him back feverishly, needing it. We continued to kiss until we reached our room. His face dipped to the crook of my neck and I inclined my neck, whimpering with desire. He grazed me there with his teeth. Or were those his fangs? An area between my thighs ached
