As Max made his way through the city streets he was concerned about Wade's report because of the attack that happened. Most would find it suicide to attack the borders of the the Werewolf Clan as they had the largest army of the Western Clans though if a couple of the Eastern Clans ban together they could posse a real threat.
Max wasn't sure Lily was ready for that kind of fight since from what she has shared she's only seen a couple fights maybe some live fighting in the more rough territories. He still was unsure of her skills, but she did make it around the world and back alive. Looking at her from the side he could see some of the scars on her face and neck from having to defend herself. *Maybe we can check her fighting skills while we are here.* Max though as they pulled up to the palace. A valet came over to take her the keys as Lily exited the car.
"I know we need to talk to Wade, but I'd like to see something first," Max said to her leading her to the training rooms. Lily recognized the way they were going and wondered why they were heading to the training rooms. Max found one that was far from the other groups and empty. "Since we didn't wait and there is going to be times we can't always be with each other I need to assess you fighting skills and defense abilities. Now I know you made it around the world and back, but many have done that on sheer luck. So if you would indulge me," he said taking off his shoes and dress shirt.
"If you wanted to distract me its working," Lily said taking off one of her shirts leaving her undershirt on. Her tails were popping out he back of her pants, but staying out of the way. Thankfully she was already wearing leggings so she slipped her shoes off pulling up her hair. "The only reason I'm not cussing you out right now is because its been a long time since you seen me fight. So lets put a little wager on this? If pin you you have to answer a very personal question for me," Lily said a bit confident in her request. "And if I pin you you have to let me read you research book. I know you haven't let anyone touch or read it since you finished. You ever going to publish your manuscript?" Max smirked while taunting her knowing it would strike a nerve.
"How did you...? I'm going to kick Phil's ass the next time I see him. Chatty Cathy is what he is. M*therf*cker," Lily mumbled under her breath stretching her arms getting ready to face off with Max. She looked a bit frustrated an ear twitching, but focused as Max assessed his "new" opponent. She looked leaner even with the extra curves she has sporting more muscle then he thought she had. His wolf stirred seeing his mate for the strong sexy female she is, *Easy Whistler.*
A few moments later Wade walks in closing the door walking over to them. "Max asked me to come play referee." he said looking at Lily. She nodded moving into a fighting stance. Max moved into position waiting for Wade to give them the signal to start. "You guys ready?"
Lilly nodded then Max tilled his head in readiness. "Ready? Fight!"
