Fighting with blades and wolves when she had perfectly good magic was fucking stupid.
Unfortunately, no one had asked Serena for her extremely correct, highly logical, and deeply unappreciated opinion on the matter.
Two training captains stepped forward.
First up: Captain Calder from Drakenfell who Serena knew well. He was part of the Draken Forces and the Brotherhood of the Hidden Flame.
Second: Captain Thane from Shadowclaw. He had given Serena one blade lesson a few days ago, only to announce to Fin that she fought like a rogue like she wasn't standing right there.
Damn straight I do.
One from each pack to cover 'blind spots.' Everyone knew that was complete bullshit. It had nothing to do with training and everything to do with the giant elephant in the room: one girl mated to two Alphas. The attempt at balance did absolutely nothing to ease the thick tension humming through the arena.
