Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 182

Michael is a big guy. Just like his cousin Jordan. As I'm taking in their skills to pair them up for sparing. I can't help but laugh and Jordan isn't helping with his cars burning bright red. It alw doesn't help that they look very similar. While fortan has pretty honey amber eyes, this guy has hy blue eyes and his hair a nice soft brown shade.

"Michael, welcome." I greet him.

"My Queen," he bows.

"You're pairing up with Lillies for a sparing, I inform him. Jordas tenses up. "Jordan, you'll be pairing up with James,"

"Seriously?"

"Yes, non-negotiable,"

"He's a beta." James protests.

"Bunny, you and Mack,"

"Yes," the two of them high-five each other and make their way over to the mats.

I turn my attention to the King who is paying attention to his phone. I take it out of his hand and set it on the table behind him. He looks up at me annoyed.

You can spar with me,"

"We've been through this," he shakes his head.

"It's just a warm-up so we can show the others what to expect," I take his hand and lead him to the mat. He looks down at me unamused with the situation. "Okay, so I'm going to attack him and he's going to try and stop me. I want you to pay close attention to our movements,"

"Perry-"

"Assume a defensive stance," I encourage him.

He takes in a deep breath and lets it out slowly before doing what I asked. I clear my throat and step to him widening his feet and helping him with his posture. It annoys him further, but when I swing he catches my move with his hand. I kick at his stance but it doesn't teeter him in the slightest. We both move around each other, me attacking and him blocking.

"You have a heavy hand," he complains when my fist meets his forearm with a sharp smack.

"You can take it. I'm sure I've dealt worse," I laugh.

It's about focusing that anger on the opponent in front of you and using it to your advantage. If you give in to that anger it's already over. You let the thing that makes you thrive take over
