Lakota nervously shook his head.“He won’t win this fight unless he does.”
Henry exploded into action.He flashed at Lucian and blasted him, but Lucian pivoted away before Henry could knock him to the ground.
Lucian’s sinewy physique was exquisite.The catlike way he moved and stalked his prey summoned my inner animal to watch.He lunged at Henry and snatched hold of his wrists, but Henry wrenched free and flashed across the lot.
Lucian blurred so fast that one minute he was standing in the open, and the next he was on top of Lakota’s black truck.
Henry whirled around to locate him.Before he looked up, Lucian sprang off the truck roof and knocked him to the ground.
The onlookers cheered, some discreetly whispering what I could only presume were bets.
I involuntarily drifted toward the combatants as if pulled by strings but stopped short when someone held me back.
They rolled on the ground like two tornadoes.Lucian grappled Henry’s wrists before Henry blasted him with more energy.
Lucian gasped for air, and the crowd grimaced.
“Flip your switch,” I whispered.
He bared his teeth and gnashed at Henry’s arm, but the Mage scuttled away and ran to the left.
One of the onlookers shoved him back in.
Henry hastily assessed his arm before wiping the blood on his slacks.
“He might’ve gotten a fang in,” Lakota remarked from behind me.
“Any venom?”Tak asked.
“Can’t tell.”
Lucian roared and slammed into the Mage.Henry gripped Lucian’s head, but Lucian spun out of his clutches.
I let go of a breath.
“Ready to give up?”Henry bellowed.“Surrender while you still have your life.You can’t overtake me.You’re weaker.I can feel it, and so can you.”
Lucian gave him a baneful look as blood dripped from his nose onto his chest.“I’ve heard rumors about you.The females whisper about how small your dick is.”
The crowd roared with laughter.Dick jokes were always a crowd pleaser because of how easily men were offended.
“It’s true!”a woman blurted out.“Like a raccoon.”
“And how would you knowthat, Evelyn?”a man quipped.
“Because I dated a raccoon Shifter once.Trust me, I know.”
Everyone howled with laughter.
If Henry had an insecurity, Lucian just found it.Henry’s anger detonated, and he bolted like a bull in the streets of Pamplona.
Lucian ducked at the last minute and rushed forward, flipping Henry into the air and onto his back.When he faced him, Henry flung a handful of gravel into his eyes.
“Argh!”Lucian frantically wiped his eyes.
Henry seized his chance.He gripped Lucian’s throat and slammed his energy-filled hand against his chest.Lucian shot back five feet and smashed into Lakota’s truck.He slumped over, leaving a dent in the door.
Tak’s white truck barreled through the parking lot from the main road.It barely stopped before several Arrowhead pack members jumped out and joined the onlookers.
