The field of the pack warrior trials was noisy with the roar of beasts, the clash of weapons, and the cheering and shouting of the audience. The air was filled with sweat, dust, and the wild smell of the werewolves.
Donna entered the yellow sand central arena, a silver mask covering half her face.
Her opponent was a strong werewolf male warrior known for his strength. With contempt in his eyes, he looked at Donna who took the place of Monica to participate in the warrior trials.
After all, he had learned that Monica had far less fighting power than he was.
However, the moment, when the referee announced the start of their game, Donna darted out!
Her speed was amazing, and she was as strong and vigorous as the silver wolf in the moon.
Donna could easily duck the heavy clumsy blows of her opponent. The attack of her opponent was a child’s play for her.
In the three rounds, Donna didn't even fight with all her strength. A precise sidekick of Donna hit the ribs of her opponent, and the strong male werewolf fell to the ground, unable to stand up.
There was a moment of silence, and then the chatter of surprise and disbelief.
“This... this is Monica’s strength? She didn’t even shift into wolf form.
"What a speed and attack! Don't you think Monica's combat force has improved too fast?"
Donna paid no attention to all of this. There were several fights ahead!
In the ensuing fights, she beat all her opponents in a flash. No one had the power to fight back.
Her combat style was sharp, elegant, and full of power and beauty. It was completely different from Monica’s fancy style.
More and more people saw that something was wrong.
Finally, after another easy victory, Donna stood in the middle of the arena. Someone began to yell at the stand: “She’s not Monica at all! I’ve seen Monica before. She’s not so tall! Besides she has never shifted into wolf form today!”
With the penetrating cry in the audience, countless inquiring, suspicious eyes quickly turned to Donna, and the referee on the stage had to step towards Donna and say: "If you really are Monica, remove your mask, or shift into wolf form, to prove your identity!"
In front of an audience, Donna, the warrior on the stage, seemed to know she could no longer hide her identity. Very slowly she raised her hands and removed the silver mask from her face and the red wig on her head.
A cold and beautiful face was exposed to the sun, her silver, long hair flowing in the breeze, and her sharp gray, blue eyes glistening in the sun.
“!!!”
There was a sudden commotion at the stand!
“It’s Donna! Former female leader warrior of the Red Moon Pack!”
“Didn’t she ...three years ago?”
“How come she replaced Monica in the trials? Where is Monica?”
Like a shark smelling blood, numerous reporters regardless of the guard stopping swarmed to the edge of the arena, focusing their recording crystals on Donna.
“Miss Donna! Why do you replace Monica in the trials? Have the trials been rigged?”
"You quit the rank of warrior three years ago, but now you suddenly come to take the place of Monica. Do you want to win the honor of the 'first female warrior?"
Sharp questions came like a rain of arrows.
Facing such a difficult situation, Donna calmly stood where she was, with little panic on her face.
She straightened her back, and her eyes coldly swept through the excited reporters.
“Replace?” A slightly cold arc appeared on her lips. “Maybe you should ask my Alpha Hanson. Ask him why he should use the Alpha order to force his own mate to fight for his mistress to win honors that should not belong to her?”
There was a huge amount of information in her words.
What Donna said exposed all the dirty things Hanson had done: coercion, injustice, and all the problems between Hanson and her!
The reporters were even more excited!
“Do you mean Alpha Hanson forced you to come?”
“When did you find out his relationship with Monica...?”
“Miss Donna, Will you please talk about them in detail?”
Donna picked a few penetrating questions to answer. It was believed that the news would catch the eyes of countless people, and that was just what she wanted!
The reporters still wanted to ask, but some werewolves came over and forcibly pushed the reporters away. They looked serious and were wearing clothes for the organizing committee.
The head of the committee looked at Donna with stern eyes, “Donna, only warriors of the packs can take part in the trials, and you’re no longer a warrior now! But today you hide your identity, fight for others, and disrupt the order of fair competition! What on earth are you going to do?” The elder’s voice was high and with indisputable authority.
"Listen, Donna, the organizing committee has unanimously agreed that you will be permanently disqualified from any official pack competition! Now, please get out of here immediately!”
Permanent disqualification!
The ruling was extremely heavy!
Almost there was no possibility that Donna would rise as a werewolf warrior!
The decision of the committee caused uproar among the reporters!
Donna’s face fell. She didn’t feel too much surprised but had a feeling of “sure enough.”
She had offended many Alpha elders over the years, and she had expected that these old guys would take advantage of this incident to shut her out of the werewolf world.
"I reject the ruling!" Donna's voice was firm. "According to the pack warrior selection rules issued by the werewolf court in the Starry 1613, any werewolf regardless of birth, name, gender, or appearance can participate in the trials!
I indeed replaced Monica in the trials, but I was forced by the Alpha's order. It doesn't in any way become a reason for the match ban!"
Donna’s words caused a sudden commotion in the whole field of the trials. An ordinary female werewolf dared to answer back to Alpha elders. They hadn’t seen such things for a long time!
“You’re talking nonsense! Kick her out!” The elder of the organizing committee commanded coldly.
“Someone should be kicked out.”A low attractive, but majestic voice came over like thunder: “However, it’s not this warrior, but you.”
An incredible great power swept the whole field of the trials like a raging storm passing through. Everyone dropped to their knees. The power hit the arena like waves breaking on the shore, one after another, and some weak werewolves even crawled, with their four limbs on the ground. But for some reason, Donna didn’t feel as suffocated as the other werewolves.
To avoid being too incongruous, she also went down on one knee.
At the entrance of the trial arena, a tall and straight figure slowly stepped in.
He had a cold face with black hair and black eyes. It was Lycan King Black!
Ignoring the shock and awe of all people, King Black went straight to the middle of the arena with a sense of reigning over the world. His deep eyes fell on the chief elder:
“The power of final interpretation of the pack warrior trials belongs to the werewolf royal court.” Black’s tone was mild but very firm.
“When did your Alpha Council of Elders start to make its permanent ruling without my consent?” He said sternly.
The elder of the organizing committee looked pale, and he was in awed silence by the king: "Your Majesty, your Majesty... we just follow the rules..."
King Black didn’t even look at the elder. He directed his eyes to Donna, who was in the middle of the arena, their eyes contacting tacitly across the air.
The black-haired Lycan King said to the crowd in a clear, unquestioning tone, “As the Lycan King, I shall correct your council’s misrepresentation of the pack warrior trials rules. The rules that Donna has quoted, are the correct ones! In the competition field, strength is of primary importance. Only the strong will survive, and the weak will perish! What the royal court needs is the strong ones!
All the werewolves present were surprised... Did he mean Donna was the strong one? Did King Black want Donna to take the champion of Eastern Pack Warrior Trials?
