I shook my head. I had the feeling he realized they were evenly matched but didn’t think he’d stop the fight. I definitely didn’t think he’d choose both of them. I don’t need two guards. I peeled my eyes from Ethan and picked my jaw up from the ground.
Looking out towards the field, I stared at the two winners. I wasn’t sure what to think. I looked at Gabe. I knew why he participated, he’d spoken to me about it. He was the reason I knew there was a competition in the first place. My eyes flicked to Leo. I still don’t know him. I fought him once and have spoken to him maybe two times. Did I trust him? No, but now, I’d have him by my side.
It was crucial for the new members to merge into our pack peacefully. Having one of the new members as a winner in this competition showed good faith. The onlookers were quiet and I wondered if they felt unease at a new member winning. Despite my thoughts, I needed to make sure it didn’t show in my actions.
