Chapter 107

I looked away, my chest seemingly about to explode.

What was my former Alpha doing here?

"You may rise." The Alpha King said and we all rose to our feet, At my full height, The Alpha King was still a big, scary man, towering over everybody. I finally understood where Theon and Miro got their big bodies from. They also had some resemblance to him but with the All around me, I could feel the buzz of tension and excitement at the fact that the Alpha King was here with the team. He surveyed the warriors standing before him, his steely gaze lingering a moment longer on me, before looking away.

"Warriors," he began, his voice resonant and commanding, "today, you have an opportunity to prove why you belong in the Elite. This competition isn't just about strength; it's about strategy, resilience, and your ability to adapt when everything feels like it's against you." His He continued, pacing slowly. "Some of you have clawed your way here, fighting tooth and nail to uphold a legacy of loyalty and power. That's what this competition is truly about-honoring the bloodline, tradition, and the strength you were born to embody."

Then his eyes flickered briefly toward me, the corner of his mouth lifting in contempt. "Of course, not everyone here understands what it means to carry that burden or to have something worth fighting for. Some have stumbled into this place," he added, barely pausing, "hoping that sheer determination can make up for certain... natural deficiencies."

The boys stiffened, missing the slight, but Konan looked my way and smirked. I continued to maintain my mask of indifference despite feeling the burn of the King's pointed remark. He can talk all he wants but it's up to me to prove him wrong. At first, I felt guilty for feeding I will do anything to win.

The King returned his gaze to the boys, his expression stern. "So I want you to go out there today, each of you. Show me what you've got. Show me that this program was worth my investment, and remind everyone watching why the elite warriors are not for the faint- hearted."

Collins howled to the ceiling and all the boys joined in, sending a wolf howl so loud every hair on my body stood upright. When they settled down, the King's eyes shifted back to me, a barely noticeable sneer in his tone. "And remember," he said, his voice dropping lower, " "YEAH!" They roared, slamming their fists against lockers and every surface as they hyped themselves up. Only I stood still, exchanging glares with the King. When it came time to leave, I followed the boys. "Miss Ashmore." The King called and I stopped in my tracks, turning to him. "A word?"

Collins and Konan smirked at me, before leaving me alone with the Alpha King, his beta and my former Alpha. I came back to my original standing position and bowed once again. "Your Majesty."

"Cut the crap." The King said, and I blinked at him in surprise. "Where are my sons?" He queried, his steely gaze locked in on me. I glanced from him to the men behind him and back.

"I don't know, your Majesty." I replied.

"Liar!" Dutton growled.

The King stepped towards me, and I took a step back, watching him warily. "You live with them. So how come
