| gulped nervously.
There was no point in hiding anymore, so | slowly stepped out of my hiding spot. Eros’s gaze was intense, and |
saw the way he looked up atfrom head to toe.
Maybe he was checking if | had skipped a workout because he was not around. My clothes and the hair plastered
to my temples should be enough proof that | had diligently worked out even if he was not around.
Arthur waved atupon seeing me. Eros looked at the him and said, “People don’t believe | play fair, and | can
tackle you. So, go change, we are going to have a little spar.”
My eyes went wide at those words. He had not taken my name, but | knew it was directed at me
“Who is mad enough to say that?” Arthur asked, but Eros shrugged.
“People think it is easy to beca King and rule a kingdom. Sometimes you have to answer those doubts. Are
you ready for a spar?” He asked.
This was a silly act. If his pride was hurt by my words, he could have just snapped atlike he always did.
Why did he have to put up a show? Especially with all the pack members around. Elder Ruth would simply tear
“Uh, but we have the entire pack in the garden. They expect lunch to be served soon, King Arthur tried to
reason, but Eros shook his head.
“The fight won't last long either way. Let's go outside”
He said without looking atand stepped out of the main door and climbed down the short flight of stairs.
Arthur didn’t say anything. He just went upstairs to keep the file in the office, as it was something important.
That leftstaring at the broad back of Eros. Seeing that there was nobody around, | went near him and
murmured. “Uh, you don’t have to do this. | was just annoyed when I said that. But Eros only rolled up his
sleeves.
“If even the weakest member of my pack question my strength and let it slide, it will make more people question
my leadership. Not the first tthat this is happening, either.”
1 felt a little hurt when he calledthe weakest member of his pack, but | couldn't deny it at the time. But what

His gaze dipped to my lips, and I felt | saw his eyes darken just a little. He licked his dry lips and the breeze
flowing through the garden reached us, carrying his intoxicating scent to me.
He was already too close to me. If | leaned forward just a little, our lips would brush. He seemed to have read my
thought because | saw the desire flicker in his eyes.
But before | could lean forward, he pulled himself away and muttered, “I will tell you when it is time”
| began, but he walked away without a backward glance. And | just stayed plastered to the wall, panting due to
the shock.
His fingers had barely grazed my arms, but it had leftwanting more, much more.
While | was trying to calm down, a voice asked, “What are you doing here sticking to the wall?” Arthur had
returned but had not bothered changing into gym wear
“N-nothing.” | said and pushed my hair behind my car and tidied my shirt.
“Well then, fet us go. It has been a while since we two had a friendly spar. It will be nice”
| nodded meekly as | walked with Arthur. But it felt like a walk of shtoas everybody was staring at us as
if we were the culprits, or maybe Eros had told them that it waswho had doubted his leadership.
Eros had his back turned to me, and his pack members were all seated around a huge table that the servants
were still putting chairs around.
They placed huge tables around a huge open space shaped like circle, which would serve as the fighting ring.
My eyes searched for Elder Ruth, but she was busy talking to the others, so | quickly settled in one of the chairs,
trying to hide from her as much as possible
Eros and Arthur stepped inside the circular arena, and everybody settled in the chairs.

me, | would, gladly accept any punishment offered to me.” At those last words, his eyes subtly flicked to me. He
had spottedin a crowd of thousands of people without any issues.
“Who would be the judge?” Elder Ruth asked and added, “You need a referee.”
Eros smiled. “The entire pack will be the referee today.”
Everybody cheered as the three stepped in. Eros’s eyes tore away fromand he turned to look at his beta who
were grinning.
Somebody announced ‘Begin’ and the warrior rushed forward at Eros, who didn’t move until they were just a

Though Eros was a tad bit broader and taller, the Beta, Arthur was no less deadly and a worthy opponent.
It was like watching a beautiful dance, a power display as a series of kicks, punches and fists smacked into two
of them. “This should be a paid event” One of the girls seated ahead ofgiggled, staring wide-eyed.
She poked her friend sitting beside her, who nodded, “Yes, one where only | get to watch the Hybrid King.”
So he had admirers in his pack, too. That should not have surprised me.
The earlier girl whispered, “Even better if it iswho he is tackling like that. | don’t mind getting tossed around
by him
The two girls giggled, and | tried to snuff out the little flare of jealousy growing in me. | wondered how many girls
dreamed about him kissing them, roaming his hands over them
The voice of Elder Ruth shouting, “Tover” broughtback to the present. The spar might have lasted only
for half an hour, but the warrior: Arthur, were panting particularly looked disgruntled.
| could hear him grumble to Arthur. “You were too slow with that punch
It madechuckle as the crowd cheered and everybody clapped at the end of the spar. Eros’s gaze found me

from me.
And just like that the smirk was back on his face again
