Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 108

Zenovia

Matteo walked out of the room and I fidgeted with my fingers as I heard him greet the crowd.

I did not know all of the people inside the room and it was not the time to bond over either. I was feeling nervous and second guessing if it had been the right decision to show up here when I could have been sleeping in my bed.

“Thunder?” I tried to speak to my wolf. At times like these, it was good to have her to talk to.

“You did the right thing” She replied, making my racing heart calm down a little. “Sorry to drag you here when we trained so hard in the morning” I offered but I felt her stifle a yawn.

“No worries. I never see people around us. It’s usually just the grumpy King and his minions and as Matt said, it is going to be a friendly spar. So we will be fine.” I felt relieved to hear her words which gave me some encouragement.

The next moment, the door to the common room was thrown open and we all walked outside.

The crowd erupted in cheers as we all made our way to the arena. There were referees stationed on all four sides on a small podium elevated above the boundary of the arena for them to clearly see everything.

We went inside the huge arena and I looked up. The seats were filled to the brim and people were cheering and clapping. That made me feel both nervous and excited.

Matteo made us all walk in a line to enter the sandy arena and the first twenty-five were put in one group, Team A while the rest in another, Team B.

I belonged to the first group.

“OK, you might want to remove your shoes and socks. We start on the count of three”

We did as asked and stood facing each other in a large group face-off. My heart was pouding and I felt the heartbeat drowning all the noise around me. “Your task is simple for this round. Simply push the other team members to the ground. Once your back touches the ground, you are disqualified. The team with the most members who did not fall down by the end will be the winner.”

I looked ahead at the opposite group. I barely got a chance to look at half of them when the referee announced,

“Three…two…one…go!!”

And then chaos ensued. Everybody just ran at each other and people began
