Chapter 37: Defeating the Alpha
Evaline:
I studied him just like he was doing with me.
He looked as collected as ever, with his broad shoulders relaxed, muscles loose. His face betrayed nothing, but there was something different about the way he stood. His eyes were fixed on me, sharp and narrow.
He rolled his shoulders casually, but the intensity of his gaze said something else.
He wasn’t taking me lightly.
He might not have recognized me yet, but he wasn’t foolish like everyone else present here with us to not notice his brother helping me twice. Doing it once might not have caught his attention, but the second time definitely did that.
So now, he was confused, intrigued, and looking forward to our match.
He was reading me.
And I knew what he was looking at - slim build, cap pulled low, black mask covering the lower half of my face. Everything about me was screaming weird and mysterious to him, something I was planning to use to my advantage.
My heart was pounding, not out of panic but resolve. The moment had finally arrived. And I only had one shot at this.
I felt his eyes narrowing slightly. Could almost hear the thoughts racing behind that unreadable face of his.
