The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: He is my Man.

Serena’s POV~

The next morning came quietly.

Her room was still strange to her, but she had managed to sleep well enough. Yesterday had gone smoothly...dinner with her father, and Vaelen had been simple but fine. Without any awkwardness or big words. Just food, a few exchanges, and then goodnight. For her, that was already a relief.

But today... she had no idea how to begin.

She sat on the bed for a while, staring at the faint light coming through the curtains. What was she supposed to do in a palace this big? What was her place here?

Her thoughts turned back to Vaelen’s words from last night. He had told her that if she wanted, she could come see the training ground in the morning. She remembered how his eyes had lit up when he spoke about it...

That thought stirred something inside her.

Training.

Yes, she wanted that. More than anything, she didn’t want to rely only on her witch blood. She wanted to be strong in her own right. To fight, to defend, and to stand with her physical powers. That was something she had always carried with her. Even when she lived with her mother, she had always practiced in the morning. She didn’t want that habit to die.

So, she made her decision.

She changed into simple training clothes... nothing fancy. After asking a passing servant where the grounds were, she made her way out.

The air was fresh and pleasant when she arrived. She could hear it before she even saw it...grunts, shouts, the sound of bodies hitting the ground, and the powerful thud of fists colliding.

And then the sight unfolded in front of her.
