Chapter 5

Kyle's face darkened when he saw I was serious.

He glared at me, his voice a low warning.

"Selene, do you have a death wish?"

Before he could finish, Clara cut in, her lip trembling slightly.

"Kyle, don't."

The elder gave a long howl to start the match.

Jax shot forward like a black blur.

The pack roared for Jax.

I watched him disappear, then closed my eyes and counted the seconds.

The crowd howled, sure I would lose.

Clara's smug satisfaction was impossible to miss.

"See? I told you she couldn't do it. At least she knows when to quit."

"She's up against Jax, a two-time Blood Hunt champion! His speed and stamina are unmatched, even by most males!"

"Jax is already a third of the way there. She has no chance."

Seeing Kyle's expression, Clara said softly.

"Don't worry, Kyle. She's scared stiff. It'll be over soon."

Then, I opened my eyes.

My golden eyes flashed in the moonlight.

My legs burst with power.

I shot forward like a silver streak.
