"Now entering the arena is the unbeatable brains of the North Pack, Alpha Caspian Storm!" Commander Malakai introduced.
It was time for the showdown between Alaric Storm and his father. The audience clapped politely at first, expecting nothing out of the ordinary. But the moment Caspian appeared, dressed in sleek black from head to toe, the energy changed. In each hand, he carried Escrima sticks, their glossy surfaces catching the light.
A ripple of surprise rolled through the stands. Was that a weapon?
It wasn't that weapons were outright banned, but Malakai had clearly stated no brutality. Apparently, Alpha Caspian had decided to blur that line, or maybe he had something else in mind. No one knew for sure.
The arena buzzed with anticipation as Caspian expertly twirled his Escrima sticks, then set his stance solidly at the center of the floor, completely in control.
"For a nerd, he really went full ninja," Daisy remarked beside Violet, impressed.
