Alpha Denzel stared at Valerie, wondering whose temper was hotter. It seemed he would have to try harder to both protect and win her heart. He was also sure to train with her as Ryker but attributed it to the fact that she didn't know that.
However, he still could not accept that humiliation, thinking of ways to make her pay. Before his lips parted, Valerie said,
"I only asked to join your training. I didn't beg you to insult me. I hit you, so hit me back." She dared him. It was training, so if she got hit, it wouldn't be termed as abuse.
Alpha Denzel smiled and retorted, "that is exactly what you want, but you are not getting it. You want a fight with me, but I won't give it to you," he shrugged. "Fight with Alessia. If you win, then you qualify to fight with me."
