Chapter 206: Spar

​Scarlett’s POV

​I kicked off my sandals, stepping onto the thick training mat with bare feet. Leo smiled, a genuine, happy smile that I hadn’t seen in five years. He picked up two wooden practice swords from the rack, tossing one toward me. I caught it smoothly by the hilt, testing its weight.

​"Don’t hold back, Scar," Leo teased, taking a low fighting stance. "I want to see what you learned while you were away."

​"You shouldn’t have asked for that," I muttered.

​We began to circle each other. Leo lunged first, testing my reflexes with a quick strike to my left. I parried it easily, the wooden blades clashing with a loud crack. He spun, aiming for my waist, but I ducked under his arm, using his own momentum to slide behind him and deliver a sharp tap to his shoulder blade.

​Leo chuckled, spinning back around. "Nice. You’ve gotten faster."

​For a few minutes, the world around us faded. We moved in a perfect, intense rhythm. It was sweaty, fast, and highly competitive. I refused to shift into my wolf form, relying entirely on my human speed and the brutal hand-to-hand combat skills I had perfected during my years on the run. The chemistry between us was undeniable; every time our bodies collided or our eyes locked, the air grew thick with tension.

​I swept my leg out, catching his ankle. Leo stumbled but grabbed my waist to keep his balance, pulling me down with him. We tumbled onto the mat, laughing and gasping for breath. I quickly reacted, wrapping my legs around his torso and pinning his arms down against the padding, holding my wooden blade right against his neck.
