Chapter 75 A Flicker Of Doubt

• ~ Thorne ~
• The training grounds hummed with energy as everyone sharpened their skills in preparation for the final round of the Wolfstone Trials. I stood off to the side, observing the movements of my warriors, their precision, their power, and their hunger to make sure I win. Yet, despite the intense focus I tried to muster, my mind wandered back to Elara, back to the way her body glowed in its feminine form. The look on her face when she spoke to me last night still burned in my thoughts.
• Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Ronan practicing nearby. My heart ached at the thought that he might have probably seen Elara’s naked body first and even… I shrugged the wild thoughts off my mind. I felt his gaze before I saw him approach. The tension between us was thick, the air charged with unspoken words and frustrations. I’d been waiting for this.
