Mated To Alpha Gregory

Lilith’s POV

As we passed by the numerous guards on our way out of the mansion, they all looked at me like they were a peculiar rock from space.

It wasn’t the same as the maids who whispered to themselves, watching me from every corner. Words definitely flew fast, so fast that almost everyone in the mansion was watching me before I got to the main door.

I could feel a sea of eyes, glued to my back like an escort, but it didn’t bother me. Rather, I smiled, walking shoulder-high without a care in the world.

The sun beat down on the training grounds, casting a golden glow over the assembled fighters. Among them, two warriors stood out.

Sparring among the warriors must be a common thing in this pack as they did that with themselves here daily like it was nothing.

It was something I admired them for, as warriors in the Green Forest pack were always too lazy to spar with each other. They would rather drink all day and talk about women till nightfall.

Due to the way I was dressed, no one recognized me and I blended easily among the crowd. I knew things could get this rough, so I insisted I go alone, despite Cara’s constant pleading and objection.

I couldn’t risk having her among people who didn’t care much about their life and could injure themselves baldly if need be to prove just how strong they are.

I caught sight of the men in the middle of the training field, two fierce fighters who were among the commanders of the Royal Army.

One was Kaito. He was huge and had a monstrous stature, which made it difficult to bring him down. He was extremely strong and a blow from his hand was rumored to be so strong, it could bring down a house if well-directed to its foundations and pillars.

Then there was his opponent, Akira. Akira was a tall, muscular fellow who was extremely skilled in martial arts. I had seen him fight the previous day with the warrior that caught my attention. Speaking of the warrior, where was he?

“Kill him!” I heard a man scream from behind me.

“Break the bull!” Another man yelled, pointing to Kaito.

“I’ll bet my golden sword on Kaito, he’s winning today,” a third man spoke, waving a golden sword in the air.

There was obviously an unspoken rivalry between these two which added a kind of electrifying excitement to the field.

The entire place was rowdy and noisy, one would think it was a royal duel that was going on. I wanted to hide in a quiet place and watch them duel just like a normal soldier, but alas, my cover was blown when one of the soldiers recognized me.

“Your Highness!” He screamed. I wanted to hush him, but I was too late, everyone had stopped what he or she was doing and the once noisy training ground became so silent, that if a pin were to drop it would be heard louder than a faulty siren.

“Sht!” I covered my face but couldn’t hold it for long as they had all begun to bow.

“Wasn’t she the next to be Beta of Green Forest pack?” I heard someone ask behind me.

“Wait, the one whose father betrayed his pack?” Another person asked.

“I heard she was a very good fighter till it all happened. I feel sad for her.” A third voice whispered from afar.

All these and more murmurs continued to trail behind me and my heart began to beat fast with each passing moment.

I was beginning to regret coming out there and wanted to cover my face again in shame, but someone stretched his hands to me.

“Take my hand, your highness.”

I looked up, and I couldn’t believe who it was I saw. It was the very warrior I was searching for, the one who looked like a girl.

I looked deeper into his eyes and traced my eyes around his body. I gasped, confirming my suspicions. He is indeed a girl, but how?

She gave a reassuring smile and I took her hands, not knowing why I did it.

She led me forward, ignoring the many eyes following us. When we got to the front of the crowd, she did the least thing I could ever have imagined.

She raised her hands with mine in them. Cheers and roars erupted from the crowd and before long, I found myself in a comfortable seat on a high platform, as the fight commenced.

As the fighters circled each other, the air was filled with anticipation. Fellow fighters gathered around, sensing something special was about to unfold.

Kaito, with his heavy punch, feigned a strike, and Akira countered with a powerful kick. The clash of their movements sent shock waves through the ground.

The soldiers erupted into cheers as the two fighters exchanged blows, each landing with so much accuracy and force. Kaito’s fists flew like bullets, but Akira’s agility allowed him to dodge and weave with ease.

Suddenly, Kaito unleashed a devastating combination of kicks and blows. It was so unbelievable that it sent Akira flying into the air.

Time seemed to slow down as Akira lingered in the air, his body bent in an arc. Everyone held their collective breaths as if on a cue, sensing the end was near.

But Akira refused to yield. With a lot of effort, he straightened himself in midair and landed a surprising kick, one which sent Kaito crashing to the ground. The crowd exploded into a frenzy of cheers and chants, urging the fighters on.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The battle got tougher as each warrior determined to emerge victorious. Sweat dripped from their brows, like rain from pregnant clouds as their movements, a blur, was a combination of speed and strength.

Kaito kept punching and hitting, only for Akira to counter with a powerful throw, slamming Kaito into the ground despite his mass.

The crowd’s excitement reached its peak as fellow fighters shouted encouragement, their voices hoarse from cheering.

In a crazy display of agility, Akira leaped into the air, performing a double somersault, landing a devastating kick that sent Kaito stumbling back.

The crowd erupted into a deafening roar as Akira seized the opportunity, unleashing a rush of strikes that left Kaito staggering still.

With one final and mighty blow, Akira struck Kaito with a crushing fist, sending him crashing to the ground and that was it.

Akira stood victorious, his chest heaving with exhaustion.

The crowd chanted Akira’s name, hailing him as the winner. He walked over to where Kaito was and helped him up as they hugged each other.

I couldn’t help but smile as I moved with the excitement and all till a loud voice boomed from among the crowd, “Who is next?”
