Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 98: Unwilling Partner

The moment Griffin and Roman stepped into the center of the training hall, the atmosphere became serious. Although the commander said this was going to be a drill, the way Roman and Griffin eyed each other was enough proof it was going to be intense.

The commander barely announced the start when Roman, quick as a striking serpent, darted forward and landed a solid punch to Griffin’s face. The sharp crack sounded in the hall, and blood smeared across Griffin’s lips.

Violet’s jaw literally dropped to the ground. Was this really what the commander wanted from them? This wasn’t sparring; it was a brawl. If indeed, this was a drill, then they might as well be signing their death certificates.

Griffin wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes narrowing in fury. The sight of the crimson streak across his hand provoked him. And just like that, his face twisted into a snarl as he charged at Roman with the force of a freight train.

Roman moved to dodge him, but Griffin’s strength and unrelenting barrage of punches were impossible to avoid entirely.

The sound of fists meeting flesh filled the room, and Violet winced even though she was never one to shy away from violence.

That was going to hurt for sure.

Blood splattered onto the floor as the two alphas clashed like titans, the dance of power versus speed quite mesmerizing.

Around her, the werewolves roared their approval, cheering as though this was some gladiator’s fight. They had got to be kidding her.

Her gaze shifted to the commander, and the one person she expected to intervene stood with his arms crossed, watching the fight intently with an analytical expression.

Unfortunately, the fight became so fierce that the students were forced to scramble out of the way as Roman and Griffin rolled across the ground, engaged.
