Once home Lucas couldn't help but think of the night with a big smile on his face as he headed to his room to get dressed. Over the course of the night he had talked a lot with Troy the guy with the black hair and Sasha the girl that was in the back. The three of them had even hunted together and before parting ways he invited them to the estate. Thinking to himself Lucas thought, "Although I never told them I was the lords son. I'm sure they're well aware."
After getting dressed he headed to his fathers office and knocked before walking in to see his father going through paperwork. "Good morning, how was your night" Lucas said to which his father replied, " Good morning and I bet not near as eventful as your night though". Lucas smiled then asked "You want to see my form up close?" Alexander looked up from his paper smiling softly said " Not in the house the maids have enough cleaning they don't need to have to worry about your hair shedding everywhere while changed."
Hearing this didn't dampen Lucas' spirits at all and he thought for a moment and realized how to get what he wanted and spoke up, " How about we do a sparring match in our other forms?" Alexander couldn't help but smile and stand up saying, " It has been a while since we sparred and it'll be interesting to see you can do with your wolf." both of them headEd outside. You couldn't miss the smile on Lucas face as he followed behind his father to the courtyard.
Once their Alexander turned around stripping down to just pants and talked to Lucas as he did the same. " I'm only gonna hold back enough as to not seriously injure you so be prepared." Once Alexander said this he then shifted into a Wolf about 7 feet (2 meters) tall that was full of lean muscle. If Lucas was asked he would guess it weighed around 800 pounds. His father was all black except for his eyes which were an emerald green color. They shone more brightly now that he was in Wolf form.
After a second of looking at the features of his dads wolf Lucas also shifted. He shifted into his light grey color and could feel his bones rearranging and changing as well as hair sprouting from his and his fingers knitting together becoming shorter. His first change wasn't like this because of Fenrir's blessing so the unpleasant feeling he got surprised him but he didn't fight the change and just went along with it until his transformation was complete.
Lucas howled in joy and took in all of the scents before remembering his sparring match with his father. Calming himself he looked at his father and lowered his body to the ground. He wasn't as built as his father was but, he was still lean. He knew the only way he could even hope of winning was to be faster and more agile. Not letting a moment go to waste he launched himself forward and feigned left the went right lunging to grab his dads throat. When he was just about their he felt his instincts screamed danger and he jumped to the side just in time to avoid a massive paw slam the ground. It cracked from the force of the blow. Lucas became more wary after this and hung back circling his father. Lucas heard his fathers voice in his head " Your speed surprised me for a second but it seems your instincts are even more impressive." Lucas just looked at him and focused on circling him looking for an opening.
Not seeing an opening, he started doing quick nips wherever he got the chance hoping to create one. This only resulted in his father using his shoulder to tackle Lucas knocking him to the ground. Quickly getting up Lucas lunged at his dads paw and managed to graze it. This gave Lucas hope and he continued with his tactic of nipping and retreated. After this went on for a while Lucas went all in and went for the paw again the right before he got their he turned upwards going for the throat. His father expecting this dodged backwards and lunges forward grabbing him by his throat pinning him down. Lucas admitted defeat and Alexander let go. Both changed back and got dressed thanks to the clothes Matty had laid out when she saw what was going on.
Alexander spoke up, " You're too impatient even when shifted. You had a good plan if you would of stuck with it until you had an opening that wasn't risky. You could of went for my back leg and tried to temporarily cripple me giving you a bigger opening then nipping at my front paws." After hearing this Lucas felt embarrassed at how easily his father saw through his plan and took everything told to him to heart. Lucas spoke up after a brief pause of silence and said " Thank you for the match I will do better next time". His father smiled before saying, " Well you better hurry up you only have three months till you enroll in the university".
After their match they went their separate ways. Lucas headed to the forest, once he got to the edge of the forest he shifted and started running. He ran to clear his mind replaying the match over and over again in his head. Eventually when he felt confident enough that he had analyzed every detail of the match he let his mind wander. First he thought about the university, he wasn't ready to leave Lycan behind. Saying he liked this city was an understatement. He could remember roaming the streets and playing with other kids. Although most chose to keep their distance scared of him because he was a noble. This is where he grew up, he doubted anywhere else would come close to making him feel welcome.
Then again he couldn't wait to attend the university, excited about the chance to fight with other people. As well as the thought of learning better ways to fight in his wolf form. The university also had some of the best swordsmanship classes around. Among other top rate training programs for different classes. After he cheered himself up from the thought of leaving Lycan He then started thinking about Liz, he was ready to see her and she was supposed to go to the University of Knight same as him. If he went to the University he'd be able to see her again so of course he was going. If he competed the annual tournament and won that was no better way to show Lord Amoux that he was more than capable of protecting his daughter.
After his thoughts settled down he decided to hunt as the sun was now beginning to set. This meant it was the best time to hunt. Using his Nose he followed the trail of an elk. He tracked the elk deeper into the woods into a valley further than he had ever been before. He eventually found it grazing in a field. Lucas stalked up close, staying low, keeping his body as close to the ground as possible before Launching himself forward and Grabbed the elk by its neck. He used his jaws to chomp down snapping its neck with little effort. After enjoying his meal he found a nice comfortable spot to sleep. He circled the spot a few times before laying down for the night.
