Chapter 306
Woah ! I heard as I slammed my fist into the punching bag .
Sweat coated my forehead and the nape of my neck ! lifted the boxing gloves once more and slammed my other ist into the bag next .
I heard an Dol on the other side of the bag .
Sorry , I said , trying to will my body to calm down .
Tabby poked her head around the bag ; a frown marring her face as she studied me .
Everything okay ? You seem distracted today , she said , narrowing her eyes at me .
It was the day after the first portion of the competition .
Today was a training day while the first group , Group A , did their second portion of the competition .
Tomorrow , my group , Group B , will do the second portion .
So , on this fine Wednesday , those of us who are not participating in the competition today are at the gym .
I needed to blow off some steam after my talk with Nan .
Its been a couple of hours since I last saw her , and I wasnt too sure what I would say when I saw her .
I felt bad for how I reacted to her and Tyla though .
It wasnt right for me to judge Nan on her choices ; I knew she was hurting and confused over Chester .
She was only using Tyler as a distraction … I knew this and yet I still let my emotions get the best of me .
Hello ? Tabby said , waving her hand in front of my face.
blinked a few times , narrowing my eyes at her .
Did you say something ? I asked .
She rolled her eyes .
You need to get your head back in the game , she said , folding her arms across her chest .
This is serious , and you cant afford to be distracted .
Since when did you become my coach ? I asked her , rolling my own eyes .
Arent we competing against each other ? Yes , but I like you and I dont want to see you dead , she said , narrowing her eyes at me .
The last two weeks of the competition are death matches .
We need to be laser focused if we want to survive .
I knew she was right ; I leaned against the wall , willing my body to calm dowIL Tabby studied me for a moment longer before she pursed her lips and stepped closer .
Do you want to talk about it ? She asked , I could hear the sincerity in her tone and the kindness in her eyes .
No , I admitted .
She nodded and then thought about it for a moment .
Want to go with me to see Group As second match ? I nodded .
Yes , I said .
I was eager to see what the next match would be ; my group didnt get to fight until tomorrow , and then well know who moves on to the next round .
The arena was crowded when we arrived I found myself looking around , trying to get a glimpse of the one person I knew would be there .
When I found him , my stomach swirled slightly , Gavin was seated with other Lycan Chairmen and the choice judges sat In Chapter 206
front of them .
His expression remained stoic as he stared at the participants preparing themselves in the middle of the battlefield .
Unlike the last match , this one they were all holding weapons .
Oooh , we get to use weapons this round ! Tabby said with excitement .
I wonder if we get to choose them ourselves .
Im going to get a drink .
Do you want anything ? I asked , my eyes remaining on Gavin .
When he noticed me , eyes grew dark .
his No , Im okay , Tabby said as she moved closer to the battlefield , desperate to get a closer look .
Okay , I said , finally pulling my eyes away from Gavins and heading towards the drink stand .
I thought about looking for Nan .
I had ho idea where she was , and I was starting to get worried .
She was most likely with Tyler , which made my stomach twist with nerves .
I didnt trust him ; there was something about him that gave me a strange feeling , I thought about calling Chester and seeing if he could talk some sense into Nan or do something to keep her safe .
But I knew Nan would be pissed that I butt in and also , it wasnt my place .
I had to stay out of this and just be there for her despite not agreeing with her choices .
I was wandering around , lost in thought , barely noticing my surroundings or who was quickly approaching .
I felt a warm hand wrap around my wrist and pull me into a broad chest .
Arms wrapped around my body , pulling me into a corner and pressing me against a wall .
We were in a secluded area , so no one could see us , but we were still outside , and my heart was racing as I peeked up to look at Cavins intense gaze .
