Chapter 15
Conrad POV
Once we got confirmation from the ladies that she had actually eaten and fallen asleep, we went to work in my office. We realised we made a mistake when planning everything as we planned for humans. We assumed she was more human now and would like what the ladies liked, but her behaviour was pure wolf.
We got a text telling us she was awake and went to their suite. We knocked so gently, I don’t think they heard us. We were listening outside the door when she finally said her name. Her real name. Lewana.
I can’t help but smile at this. I finally knew her real name, and it was so beautiful. The reason for her name fit her perfectly. Every time I learned something about her, I just wanted her to be mine even more.
That’s when we knocked loudly on the door. I was trying to gain her trust, and I wasn’t going to get it by eavesdropping.
“Come in”, someone called out.
“Hello ladies, Just checking in and that you’re all OK”.
Lewana looked at me very suspiciously, but quickly looked at the ground again. “You heard the whole conversation, didn’t you?”.
No point lying and losing whatever trust I do have. “We might have overheard something as we were coming to the door. Are you upset that we overheard?”. I speak as softly as I can to her.
“No”. Honestly can’t tell if she is being honest or just saying that.
“Liam and I have been talking and think we might have something that is more for …. your enjoyment”. Dam. I’m going to have to check if she is OK with me using Lewana. I hate using her human name.
She goes all shy and quiet again, so Michelle steps in. “And what would that be?”.
Liam can see I’m struggling, so he takes over for me as well.
“Well, as part of our tour, we were going to show you our state-of-the-art training facility. However, a lot of our guards and soldiers believe we’ve over-exaggerated Eve’s abilities and that she would be very easy to defeat. Care to show them not to underestimate you?”.
A devilish smile covered her face, and she ran off to her bedroom. After five minutes, she comes out in a black strap outfit. My heart literally skips a beat when seeing her perfect pale skin against the black hugging all of her amazing curves.
Michelle starts clapping excitedly.
“What exactly are you wearing, and can I borrow it to go clubbing?”.
“I designed this myself. It covers me, so not only am I wearing clothes in human form, but provides protection from weapons. The straps are all expandable, so it remains on me when shifting to my wolf or even partial shifting. It also has built-in holders for weapons. And no, you can’t borrow it”.
We walk into the gym, and all the soldiers and guards instantly move into inspection formation when they see me. I tell them to ease and go and sit on the viewing platform near the arena.
Every single guy has their shirt off, and the ladies are literally drooling over them. Except Lewana. Quite funny to watch as my girl is clearly checking out the space and not the men.
Liam walks to the soldier in formation to explain the challenge. “This is Eve. She is a rogue. I don’t think a single one of you can beat her in battle. If you care to challenge her and win, you get a bonus of $1000 in commissary”.
Their faces change and get excited at the supposed ease of this challenge. She steps into the ring and waits for her first appointment. I know she can handle herself, but they better not hurt her.
The first soldier enters the ring. One of my larger patrol guards. She looks tiny compared to him. The bell rings and she is off.
He swings with his fist, and she dodges it and puts her leg between his wide stance, knocking out his knee, dropping him to her level. She then punches him in the face, breaking his nose and blurring his vision, sending him to the floor.
She turns to look at the soldiers, just staring at her in disbelief. “Which one of you boys wants to try next?”.
