The royal arena was packed with spectators, the air thick with anticipation as warriors from different packs gathered to witness the long-awaited duel. Nobles filled the upper stands in their expensive robes while soldiers surrounded the massive training grounds, maintaining order as the crowd roared with excitement. The sound of drums echoed through the arena, blending with the endless chants of my name.
I stepped into the fully packed arena, and the moment my boots touched the sand-covered floor, the crowd erupted.
"King Enzo!"
"Alpha King!"
The screams grew louder with every step I took. I waved at them casually, flashing one of my enchanting smiles, the same smile that had women weak in the knees and warriors bowing their heads in respect. The atmosphere was electric, overwhelming even, but I had long grown used to this kind of attention.
My eyes swept through the crowd instinctively, searching for only one person.
And I found her.
