Chapter 171 - 163: She's a bit wild

Nearly an hour has passed and by then, each young shifter has already fought among each other.

However, Erick hasn't fought with Makena yet as they wanted their spar to be the last one. At that moment, Erick was sparring with Jeayan, who was known to be quick.

Despite her speed, she still lost to Erick, who overpowered her, not only in strength as well as techniques, making the young woman stomped her foot in frustration when it was declared that Erick was the winner. Though, she was quite surprised to see that Erick was getting quicker.

She knew that ever since Erick had found some part of Dane's soul, he was getting stronger. And it seems like it was also because of that, he was getting quicker. He nearly matched her in her speed. But she knew that if they were in their shifter forms, Dane would definitely beat Chiwa in speed.

After her spar with Erick, they were given a five minute breather where Latham took the opportunity to tell Jeayan what she had lacked. He did mention that Erick was fortunate to join many missions, compared to her, hence why he was able to outsmart her when it comes to techniques and plan of actions.

While he was teaching Jeayan, Makena, who was done with her spars, walked over to Erick.

"My lord," she greeted.

Erick took a huge gulp of water from his bottle as he looked over at Makena. He c.o.c.ked an eyebrow and said, "What's with this sudden respect?"

Makena smiled. "I'm sorry for Rae's rudeness," she apologized. "She was just excited to battle with you."

"But you do know that I won't be battling her," Erick said. "It's you I'm sparring with."

Makena nodded. "Yes, I do."

"I hope you're ready."

"Ready as always."

Just then, Latham called for the next two shifters to get ready for the fight.

Both Erick and Makena walked to the center of the field. The other three groups were already done, except for Erick and Makena, Hamish and another young shifter from their pack. Though, many of them went to Erick and Makena's side as they were curious to see the battle between the Alphas' descendents.

For them, the fight between Erick and Makena was like the fight between the Kendall pack and the Cairin pack.

When he saw that the two of them were ready, Latham then shouted,

"START!"

The place where the two young shifters stood earlier was now empty. Soon after, there was a loud booming sound coming from between with dust and dirt flying all over the place. Some of the spectators had to cover their mouth and eyes to protect themselves.

When the dust settled down, they were surprised to see Makena up in the air, with her foot on Erick's arms, where he had blocked a kick from her. She quickly used his arms as a stepping stone as she jumped backwards.

Before she landed on the ground, Erick had rushed over, with his arm pulled back. He was about to land a hit on Makena but she was able to avoid it by placing her hand on top of Erick's fist. She then pushed his fist down and twirled her legs, like helicopter blades.

Erick leaned back to avoid her spinning legs. He waited for the right moment and then grabbed one of Makena's legs. He then swung her around before releasing her, sending her flying across the field.

Some of the spectators moved aside to avoid being hit by the flying woman.

It was fortunate that there were trees around them as Makena used one of them as her step. Forcing more power to her legs, she pushed them to fly across the fields, towards Erick. The tree broke into two, due to the power.

While she was flying towards Erick, he had rushed towards her as well. And before she could reach him, he had jumped up and was about to stomp on top of her from above.

Because this was only a training spar, Erick did not put any power in his legs as he rammed the young woman to the ground.

After Makena was knocked down, Erick jumped back and went on a defensive pose.

Makena spurted out the dirt out of her mouth as she struggled to get up. She then rushed towards Erick and this time, she was the one who had pulled her arm back. She was about to punch the young shifter in front of her when he caught her fist in his one hand and used his other fist to punch her in the stomach.

"Ooof!"

Staggering back as she held her stomach with her one hand, Erick was about to kick her again when Latham shouted at them to stop.

Erick immediately stopped, his foot in the air. But before he could lower his foot down, he was kicked from behind. He fell to the ground, right next to Makena's feet.

Surprised, Makena looked down at Erick and up at Hamish's blazing eyes.

Hamish was about to kick Erick again when the latter grabbed his foot and pushed him, making the former fall on his bum.

"What the feck is wrong with you?" Erick roared as he stood up.

"You hurt my mate."

"What part of training did you not understand?"

"You still hurt her."

Erick rolled his eyes.

Makena then helped her mate get up. Once he had gotten up, she helped to brush away the dirt off his clothes while saying, "But I'm not even hurt."

Hamish looked at her in the eyes.

"Really! It didn't hurt at all!" she pressed on.

"But it hurts me when you got hit," he said simply.

Makena felt her heart beat fast when she heard his words.

Erick then leaned closer to Jeayan, who was standing next to her. "Was I that sickening when I'm with Amber?" he asked curiously.

Before Jeayan could answer, Erick had answered himself, crossing his arms across his chest. "Nah, everything I say to Amber couldn't be that lame," he said confidently.

This time, it was Jeayan's turn to roll her eyes.

Once everyone had settled down, Noaz clapped his hands to get their attention. And then Latham announced that for the spar between Erick and Makena, it was Erick's win. He then continued his talk, telling everyone that they had done a good job, though, some of them would still need more training. There will be more practice spar in the future and that they will be sent to missions where they could improve more on their skills and techniques.

After he was done, he dismissed them all.

Once everyone had left, there were only Latham and Noaz left alone in the field where they were in their own thoughts.

Noaz then broke the silence by commenting, "She's pretty good, huh?"

Latham agreed. "Despite being held up in that hell, she does fight well. Her fighting skills were a bit wild since she doesn't have much training but with more polish, she could probably be one of the strongest female shifters I've ever met."

Noaz nodded as well, agreeing with his brother. "Indeed. She reminds me of Elder Omorose."

"Based on her fighting?"

Noaz nodded again. "Elder Omorose can be pretty wild when it comes to fighting but she's also slick and smooth."

"It would be good if she was to stay here. And who knows, she might probably be able to train under Elder Omorose's guidance."

"I agree as well."
