Chapter 28 : The Alpha and His Luna LIRA I had sparred with some of the best warriors in Duskborne .
I had beaten them all .
But here , in the Northern Territory , I wasnt fighting just any warrior .
I was fighting Caius .
The Alpha .
The man who had single handedly taken down a rogue army without breaking a sweat .
The man who now stood before me , arms crossed , silver eyes gleaming with amusement .
This is a terrible idea , I thought to myself .
This is the best idea , my pride countered .
Elias and Ronan stood at the edge of the sparring ring , leaning against the wooden fence .
They looked way too entertained .
Alright , lovebirds , Elias called out , smirking .
Give us a good show .
Caius shot him a glare .
You can run laps after this , Elias .
Elias just grinned .
Worth it .
I rolled my shoulders and assumed my stance .
Balanced .
Ready .
Caius tilted his head .
Youre serious about this ? I smirked .
What , scared ? A low growl rumbled in his chest .
Not even a little .
Then lets begin .
We circled each other .
I was fast .
I had always relied on speed and precision rather than brute strength .

Caius ? Caius was a wall of pure muscle .
I feinted left , darting in for a quick jab to his ribs .
He caught my wrist mid air .
Damn .
I twisted , using his grip against him , and flipped myself into a kick aimed at his shoulder .
Caius dodged barely .
His silver eyes darkened with something close to approval .
1/4 Chapter 28 The Alpha and His Luna Not bad , he murmured .
That sounded like surprise , I said .
It was .
Then he moved .
Fast .
Too fast .
I barely had time to react before his leg swept mine out from under me .
I hit the ground hard , breath rushing from my lungs .
Caius crouched over me , pinning me down with just a hand .
The smirk he wore was infuriating .
Yield ? he asked .
I growled .
I kneed him in the ribs .
He grunted barely affected but I used the moment of distraction to roll us over , pinning him instead .
His eyes widened for a split second before amusement took over .
Elias let out a low whistle .
Shes lasted longer than anyone else .
Caius lips curled .
But not long enough .
Then he flipped us again .
I landed on my back with a gasp .

1 His body caged mine , arms braced on either side of my head .
His breath was warm against my cheek .
I swallowed .
This feels unfair .
His smirk softened .
The world isnt fair , little wolf .
I stared into his silver eyes , my chest rising and falling with each heavy breath .
For a second , I forgot we were fighting .
I forgot Elias and Ronan were watching .
All I could think about was how close he was .
+15 Bonus 2/4 Chapter 28 The Alpha and His Luna Caius gaze flickered to my lips .
Do it .
My traitorous thoughts whispered .
Let him kiss you .
His fingers brushed my cheek .
You- Are you two done flirting , or … ? Elias called out .
Caius growled lowly .
I flushed and pushed him off me .
As I stood , Ronan gave me a slow clap .
Congratulations , Lira .
You lasted five minutes .
I blinked .
Thats longer than anyone else ? Elias nodded .
Caius usually ends fights in under a minute .
My lips curled .
So Im special ? Caius shot me a look that sent heat spiraling through my chest .
More than you know .
+15 Bonus I exhaled , rolling my shoulders as I steadied myself , my heart still pounding against my ribs .

My muscles ached from the exertion , but my body thrummed with adrenaline , with exhilaration .
I had always loved a good fight , and sparring with Caius was something entirely different from what I was used to .
His strength was unmatched , but he hadnt gone easy on me .
And despite the fact that hed pinned me more times than I could count , I knew he had enjoyed the challenge .
I could see it in the slight curl of his lips , the gleam in his silver eyes .
I stepped back , wiping sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand .
Rematch ? Elias burst into laughter .
You really dont give up , do you ? Ronan shook his head , still grinning .
Shes got guts , Ill give her that .
Caius watched me carefully , his expression unreadable .
Another time , he finally said .
You need to rest .
I narrowed my eyes .
You think I cant handle another round ? He smirked .
I think Id rather not have to carry you back to the packhouse .
I scoffed , crossing my arms , but I couldnt deny the way my body ached , the way my breath still came faster than usual .
He wasnt wrong , and that irritated me more than I wanted to admit .
Caius reached out , brushing a loose strand of hair from my face .
His touch was light , fleeting , but it sent a shiver down my spine .
Youre strong , Lira , he murmured .
Stronger than you know .
I swallowed , something tight forming in my chest .
It wasnt just the words it was the way he said them , the way he looked at 3/4 Chapter 28 The Alpha and His Luna me , as if he believed it more than I ever could .
For once , I didnt argue .
Come on , he said , turning toward the packhouse .
Lets get you something to eat before you pass out .
I rolled my eyes but followed , pretending not to notice the way Elias and Ronan exchanged knowing looks behind us .
