Chapter 172

On the training ground, the unshifted audience gathered around the sparring space where the Lycan King and their future Queen’s striped-tail wolf was about to spar. Christian brought a bag of chips this time, which he shared with Toby, who promised to bring the snacks in the next round. 4

Xandar and Lucianne’s animals sparred once by the river on their morning run. Lucianne beat Xandar but it wasn’t as easy as beating his human part. His animal’s strength made him almost immune to any force Lucianne’s wolf tried to exert on it, and its speed made it difficult for Lucianne to dodge his attacks and escape his grip.

She only won because she knew a Lycan’s weak spots and went for those. Xandar’s Lycan was so excited with her victory that it nuzzled her whole body after it recovered from her attacks. But when the Lycan saw how drained its little wolf was, it whimpered before holding her close to its chest until dawn to ease some of her strain with the mate-bond.

Babe, no overexertion.’Xandar reminded her for the third time that morning.

Lucianne rolled her eyes at his excessive worry. ‘It’s not like I won’t recover. Besides, we have to go all out. Everyone around us is going to use this demonstration to learn the weak spots and the techniques to get there.’

‘Yeah, I know but just..don’t overdo it, Lucy.’ His animal’s eyes amplified concern, even a little fear.

Lucianne knew that he would hold back if she didn’t say something to make sure he went all out. When her lightbulb moment came, her wolf smirked as she repeated her words from their first spar in their human form, ‘You’re not scared of being beaten by a little wolf now, are you, your Highness?’

That did the trick! The worry in his lilac eyes faded, replaced by the cockiness and determination of his animal. It was then everyone heard the King emit a low growl, which even put a pause on Toby and Christian’s chips-munching.

Xandar linked his mate, ‘You asked for this, sweetheart.’

Her wolf growled and dashed towards her mate. When Xandar’s leg tried to sweep across her limbs to trip her, she grabbed onto it, extended her claws on one paw and impaled his knee, making the King groan and limp for a second while Lucianne leaped onto his shoulder. But before she could bite his ear, Xandar’s knee recovered, and he pulled Lucianne by her leg and got her off his shoulders.

on the ground, Lucianne hastily flipped herself backward while Xandar was still holding onto her leg, thus breaking his fingers. He howled in pain, and the Lycans and werewolves around them cringed at the sound of bone breaking as their eyes squinted in anguish at what
