Chapter 151
A girl held a bottle of water in front of me<b>, </b><b>and </b>I took a sip or <b>two </b>instinctively. I was still so thirsty, and the crowd yelled….
The water made me feel energized.
But <b>then </b>suddenly, I took a few more sips before coughing violently.
“Oh, no!” thedy shrieked as I spilled the bottle almost entirely and gagged. Arthur came rushing to me with a concerned
look.
“Don’t drink too much or too fast. Your body needs to cool down first” He said, helping me gently get up from the ground and pulling me up back on the bench.
“Congrats” His eyes twinkled with a <b>smile</b>.
I smiled back at <b>him</b><b>. </b>“Thanks, I bet nobody expected me to win<b>.” </b>

He <b>shook </b>his head while taking a towel from one of the helpers who hade running towards me to hand it over to
Arthur held the towel in front of me and replied, “It was an interesting <b>match</b>. I don’t remember thest time when the <b>crowd </b>went so crazy. You owned the <b>arena</b>.”
I felt a small spark of happiness graze my insides when he said <b>that</b><b>. </b>
I could not even remember thest <b>time </b>I was praised for my efforts<b>. </b>
“We will take a small break now. Then you prepare for the award ceremony.”
My eyes went wide at that. “Award ceremony?”
<b>I </b>asked, and he nodded his head. “Yeah. Why else are trials held? To find a winner, right<b>? </b>I don’t have to be on groundd.”
I resisted, but Arthur only ruffled my hair and walked away to start the preparations. I only wanted to take out my anger and frustration of Olivia at someone and I was done with it.
I did not want any awards or anything-
Someone came and she rubbed my shoulder reassuringly. “You won. <b>You </b>deserve a little praise. Plus, don’t you want to be rewarded and apuded by the Hybrid King himself?”
She asked, <b>and </b>I realized I hadpletely forgotten <b>about </b>that
part.
Being under the watchful gazes of a thousand people was <b>bad </b><b>enough</b><b>. </b>But adding Eros to the mix was terrifying.
I did not know how to behave in front of him and every time he was around, I would either feel smitten by him or annoyed.
My mind was <b>muddled </b><b>as </b>she helped me walk towards the room we had been gathered inside earlier.
I was limping a little <b>as </b>my legs and muscles had been pulled and bent at odd angles many times, but with her help. I managed
to walk
“Do you need some help with washing <b>your </b>face?” She asked.
“Yeah, for someone who just won a <b>match</b>. I am behaving like aplete loser” I joked <b>at </b>my expense, but she shook her head.
“Nah. You’re not a <b>loser</b>.”
Her line caught me off–<b>guard</b>–She–looked like a sweet and innocent girl.
She only helped me walk to the wash sink and turned on the tap while holding our the bar of soap for me.
The cool water sshed over my face and I felt the heat go down a little. It also helped get rid of the sweat and muck sticking to my body.

And I <b>only </b>looked at my reflection. My face looked puffed and swollen, a few red spots here and there. There were also minor. cuts <b>and </b>scratches that my wolf, Tiara, had helped heal

More than the award. I wanted to get a nice shower. That would be more rxing. And I also realized I had much more to learn and train.
Quaside, I could hear the roars and cheers of the audience that had filled the stadjum,
He walked out of the room to do something and I sat by the bench, slowly wiping the water off my <b>neck</b><b>. </b>
My left leg felt a little sprained, and I pulled up my socks to assess the damage.
“Hey,e on. We have to go.”
Suddenly, I was feeling dizzy. I am not feeling well”
I answered, but she only took it as a sign of my anxiety “Oh,e on, don’t be shy or nervous now. You should to ask for your reward. Don’t miss the chance.”

But I was trying to shake off the feeling of unease in my body. There was an odd feeling in my chest that made me stagger a
bit…
I blinked rapidly, trying to fight the sudden dizziness overwhelming me as I stepped out of the door and in front of the spectators again.
I had not even realized that it had gotten dark and the afternoon sun had been reced by the moon. Huge lights were shing all over the arena, making my eyes dazzle as I slowly made way towards the arena,
There was a small stage set up on the side, and I gulped nervously. Eros had not shown up through the entirety of the event, so I did not assume that he would make time for such a silly event now opponent
And it was for the better. I would get more time to rx and calm down my heart. My head had made a few notes of the moves of the and I nned to <b>ask </b>Arthur or Eros the way to tackle them.
