But I used every possible energy and self-control I had so as not to react to what he said. “But how in the world did he know about this?” I thought. “And I want it to happen on the night of the Supermoon when our powers are at their peak”. He concluded. For some reason, as soon as he stopped talking, I just wanted to stand up and slap the taste out of his mouth, but I could not do anything. He had just challenged me to a duel, and if I declined, it would be as good as selling out my new pack members. Clearing my throat, I proceeded to give a reply to his request for a duel.

he said immediately, but not before bursting into a fit laughter again. “Bella dear, I’ve seen the way Nicholas looks at you and it’s different. Don’t let her come between you both” Ada said and continued, “Also, I’ll make you irresistible for tonight’s banquet” she said with determined eyes, “Banquet?” I questioned stupidly, “It’s the party held before the Annual Winter Ball. Did Nicholas not say anything about it?” Ada asked, I shook my head no. When does he ever talk when he's with me?

Elysia’s voice took on a sharper edge, “the third day will bring us to the Main Duel Rounds. This is where only the strongest contenders will face off. Every duel will be a single, decisive match. There will be no best-of-three; here, every strike, every move, will count. Win or lose, each duel will determine the true masters among you.” Her eyes glinted as she looked out over the crowd, the anticipation thickening as the crowd absorbed her words. “In this final stage, each match will be meticulously observed by the Gods of War and the Grandmasters themselves. Those who rise to the challenge here will have a chance to earn a personal disciple’s place. Fight well, and you might secure your pl

His knuckles turned white, his jaw clenched. “Summer,” he said sharply, “I’ve told you this more than once. I have a mate. Her name is Mia. Please stop calling me in the middle of the night. Ask one of your other friends.” There was a brief silence on the other end. Then, she muttered, “So what if you have a mate? That Marking Ceremony was meant for me. You planned it all for me!” Her entitled tone pushed Lucien over the edge. He slammed the brakes. The tires screeched, and the car lurched.

"Is that true?" I frown. "What? No. It's not true." She nudges me teasingly. "You know you can tell me anything, I won't judge." I chuckle. "I know that. I can assure you that nothing like that happened." She sighs disappointedly, continuing her report. "Then there's some people saying that Damon and Karl are going to hold a duel during weekend before sunrise." "A duel?" I ask incredulously. "Yup, a duel!" Roxie confirms. "Anyone who wins can officially have you."

I would not show them fear. As I stopped before Kaius, our eyes locked, but I was quick to look away. “Three rounds,” he declared, his voice rising. “No weapons but strength, no allies but will. The one left standing at the end shall be declared the victor. The first round of the duel begins at the sound of the horn.” He said and took a few steps, leaving Sloane and me to face each other. I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. “Ready to go down the drain princess.” Sloane's smirk grew into a grin. The horn sounded, and my heart sank. The first round had begun.

Another duel finishes while we are still making plans, and for some reason Dylan and Kane appear first in the centre of the mat instead of Stefan and Sylvia, who were the fourth pair. "Damn, isn't this going to be the day's highlight after Thiago and Aura's smashing moves?" Aidenn mutters quietly as the whole court has gone silent again, just like before when Mateo announced their names. "I can't wait to watch this duel." Thiago expresses. And I am pretty darn sure that this is what everyone in this court is feeling at the moment. We sit down around the circle's boundary where the duel is happening, joining others. Mateo has replaced Dylan, and he is going to conduct their fight.

Marcus says. "I know," Vivian says. "But Dominic just broadcast a change of plans, the duel is happening now… Tonight… They want to do it before dawn." "It's a strategy," Catherine says. "Kael is afraid. He knows you're stronger together than he anticipated. He wants to fight while you're still exhausted from training." Adrian pulls me up to my feet. Our eyes meet. Through the bond, I feel his determination, his readiness. his acceptance that this is happening now.

As I approached them, I felt gazes glue to me, making me nervous in spite of myself. Two more minor duels were fought before the Elder announced in a loud voice, "The next major duel will be fought by Tabitha Smith and Hilda Miller!" Loud claps, whistles and cheers surrounded us as we stepped into the ring. The Elder continued, "At the sound of the buzzer, the fight will begin. The rules of the duel still remains; the first to fall, will be the first to ball." The crowd erupted in laughs and clapping. We climbed onto the ring, facing each other. Tabitha eyed me narrowly. "If it isn't the runaway Laten--"

Kael had stood off to the side, watching with that hard, indifferent look of his, as the pack taunted me, calling me weak, calling me unfit. I shook my head, trying to erase the bitter taste of shame left behind by the dream. But before I could collect myself, a knock sounded at the door. It was gentle but distinct—Lena’s knock. She had a unique way of tapping that always reminded me it was her. “Come in,” I said, pushing down the mix of nervousness and dread that had taken root in my stomach. Lena entered, her face filled with sympathy. “Good morning, Aria. You’ve got two hours to get ready for the duel,” she said, her voice soft but direct.
