Why was Leo participating in the competition? I stood with my mouth agape for a good two minutes before I picked my jaw up from the floor. I couldn’t figure out how or why he would want to be my guard.
I couldn’t help the feeling of suspicion that made its way into my chest. I made a mental note to ask Ethan how the hell that came to be. I needed to know how that happened. I let my eyes travel over the other participants and I recognized a couple of people from training and a handful of the others I’ve seen around the pack.
Excitement flared and I wished that this was training. I’d love the opportunity to jump in and fight against some of the other warriors outside of the group I’ve been training with.
My hair was standing on end as Ethan led me to seats off to the side of the field. Darci stood when she saw us and she gave Ethan a bow before looking at me. I wanted to be able to tell them before the ceremony but the week was hectic and I didn’t have the chance to.
