Chapter 297
1 swallowed the lump in my throat as the wolf got even closer .
Just as she reached the branch I was on and swiped her claws in my direction to throw me off balance .
I released the branch I was holding onto and the branch I stood on flung so hard that it smacked her right in the face , knocking her off the tree .
It all happened so fast that I barely even saw it flinging me as well .
I flung through the air like I was a bird ; I was as high as the drones in the sky , except I had no parachute so if I fell , I would go splat all over the hard ground .
I could see the entire arena from where I flew through the sky .
The wolves all looked up at me and were howling and growling at the same time .
I got sight of the audience who had their mouths agape and they were pointing in awe and fear .
I saw Nans mouth drop when she saw that it was me who was flying through the sky .
Her reaction came fast though once realization and shock wore off , she started to scream out of fear for my life.
I didnt have enough strength to see Gavin .
I couldnt bear to look at either the disappointment on his face or the fear .
The ground started to come fast ; I turned my body so I would stay in the arena area , and I faced downward so I would land hard on the ground .
A surge of power washed over me and I suddenly felt stronger than I had had in a long time .
Fur broke out all over my skin and I heard my wolf howling in my head ; something I hadnt heard in so long My bones started to reshape and form ; during the first shift , it was a very painful process .
Over time , it gets easier until you dont feel it at all .
I hadnt shifted in a while , so there was certainly some tension and extreme discomfort .
But as soon as I heard my clothes tearing and shredding all over the ground , a new energy surged through my veins and the discomfort I felt was a thing of the past .
I landed on all fours in the center of the arena , taking everyone by surprise .
The first thing I noticed upon landing was I was significantly smaller than the others .
I was a pup in comparison to some of them and it was intimidating .
But my wolf wasnt afraid ; in fact , she was very confident in her skills just as I was of mine .
Being in this form , her emotions came pouring into me and I felt like I understood her more than I ever had .
After the shock wore off , I was the main target .
I faced attack after attack ; I might have been small , but I was fast and I was skilled in combat , even in wolf form apparently .
My wolf was all over the place before they could even blink .
She had them taken down in seconds .
She was careful not to kill anyone , if she got close to it , Id pull the reins to settle her down .
There were a few that refused to surrender , not wanting to be taken down by a mere pup , but I managed to damage them so badly that it would be a miracle if they could walk again .
An hour into the fight and buzzer was sounding around the battle zone , halting everyone in place .
That marks the end of round 2 for the day , the announcer said over the loudspeaker .
Group B may now shift back into their human forms and return to the changing rooms for further instructions .
Those who could shift back did so immiedalty .
Others took bit longer because their wolves refused to release control .
1 noticed Tabby hadnt changed back so I assumed she was still fighting for control with her wolf .
Some were so badly damaged that the medics had to come and help them off the battle zone .
I didnt shift back right away ; I know nudity wasnt a big deal amongst shifters , but I could never get used to being naked around others .
Id rather do that in private , thank you very much .
I turned around , looking at the oncoming crowd , the paparazzi , and the naked competitors … it was overwhelming .
But then my eyes found his … Gavin .
He was standing off to the side , his eyes pouring into mine and all I could see
