The crowd on the upper bleachers scrambled backward, leaving the two targeted males standing completely exposed.
Their faces drained of all color, their limbs trembling with unadulterated terror.
Being thrown into the pit with Caden at the peak of his rage was nothing short of a one-way ticket to the hospital.
Caden halted in his tracks.
He knit his brows in confusion, narrowing his emerald eyes as he cast a quick, dismissive glance up at the two males, instantly recognizing their low-ranking status in the academy.
Inside his head, **Volcano** snarled with bitter disdain: *(What does she think she’s asking for?!
Those weaklings aren’t even worth staining our hands with their dirt!
She’s trying to manipulate us, Caden!)* Caden turned back to Roxy, his sharp face darkening with contempt and annoyance.
His voice scraped out dry and abrasive: “Those two?” He flicked a dismissive hand toward the bleachers.
“They’re bottom-tier trash, human…
They aren’t worthy of standing against me, and crushing them proves nothing.” Roxy didn’t blink.
She took a small step forward, her gray eyes locking onto his with an unyielding, icy composure.
“I don’t care,” her voice cut through the air, completely stripping away any room for negotiation.
“I want them.” Caden fixed her with a dark, emerald glare, sharp questions swirling in his mind over the secret behind her bizarre request.
Then, the shadow of a ferocious smile broke across his lips, answering the wild desire of his wolf, **Volcano**, who roared in his mind with malevolent glee: *(It doesn’t matter why, Caden!…
If this human wants the blood of these scumbags as a show, give her what she asked for!)* Caden raised his massive arm, leveling a rigid index finger at the two trembling males cowering at the top of the bleachers.
His booming, absolute command echoed into every corner of the stone arena: “You two…
Down here!
Right now!” The two males turned deathly pale, their boots frozen to the stone in sheer terror.
But they didn’t have the luxury of choice.
Several burly Betas surrounding them lunged forward, shoving them brutally and without a shred of mercy over the high stone barrier.
*THUD!…
THUD!* The two males crashed onto the solid stone floor of the ring, rolling through the dirt until they scrambled at the feet of Roxy and Caden.
They choked out frantic cries of fear, scrambling backward on their hands and knees to stay clear of the Alpha’s wrath.
Roxy stood her ground, refusing to yield an inch.
She swept her gray gaze over their shuddering frames, her eyes glistening with raw ice and explicit malice.
She leaned her upper body back slightly, tilting her head toward Caden with complete, cutting confidence.
“Now, Caden…” Her voice was smooth, quiet, and dripping with sarcasm.
“…I think the entertainment show is actually getting interesting.” The muscles in Caden’s jaw locked tight.
Inside his head, **Volcano** snarled with overwhelming disgust and contempt: *(Look at this pathetic filth, Caden!…
Rats weeping and begging for mercy in the combat ring!
This auburn human is playing us and playing them she wants to turn us into her personal instrument of revenge!)* Caden slammed a heavy step toward the two males, looking down at them with pure, unadulterated hostility.
He turned his torso toward Roxy.
She stood with icy composure, hands tucked casually into her skirt pockets, that same mocking smile pinned to her lips.
His voice scraped out low, gravelly, and laced with lethal threat: “They’re trembling like vermin under our boots, human…” He took another step toward her, his breath heavy.
“…Tell me, what did these nobodies do to earn that poisonous smile of yours?” Roxy took a small step forward, stopping right beside the two cowering males with total indifference.
She tilted her head back slightly, her tone calm, composed, and dripping with quiet malice: “I don’t care what they did, Caden…” She lowered her voice, letting her eyes drop to his massive, stone-hard fist.
“…All that matters is that I want to watch them suffer.” The corner of her mouth twitched into a sharp, decisive smile: “On one condition, though…
Don’t hit them so hard that they lose consciousness in a single second like the last guy.
That would make the show boring again…” She held his green gaze without flinching.
“…I want to hear them scream in pain.” Caden’s sharp features hardened for a split second.
His green eyes ignited with emerald sparks shocked, yet instantly adapting to the cold cruelty in her voice.
Inside his head, **Volcano** roared with wild thrill and dark ecstasy: *(You hear what this auburn witch is asking for?!
She isn’t looking for a quick victory she craves a symphony of screams and agony!
This human possesses a soul more brutal than half the wolves in this academy, Caden!…
Grant her wish!)* A sharp, lethal side-smile split Caden’s lips.
He cracked his knuckles slowly, one by one, before casting a dry, menacing glance down at the terrified males lying at his feet: “Then…” He rasped out, his voice heavy with promise.
“…we’ll make sure the strikes are nice and slow, human.
Extremely painful, so you get your full entertainment show.” The two males’ eyes dilated in absolute horror.
Muffled, desperate pleas tore from their throats as they dragged themselves across the cold dirt to get away from him: “Alpha Caden!
Please!…
I beg of you!” “We didn’t do anything to deserve this!” Caden didn’t grant them another second to speak.
He moved with slow, steady pressure like a predator playing with its prey and brought his heavy boot down with brutal force onto the first male’s leg.
*CRACK!* A deafening scream of agony erupted from the male’s throat, shaking the arena and echoing up through the stone bleachers as bone gave way under the calculated pressure.
Caden savored the sight of the male’s veins bulging and tears streaming down his face, holding back his knockout blow with razor-sharp precision so the male stayed conscious exactly as Roxy had instructed.
Caden turned toward the second male, who was scrambling to get up on trembling limbs.
He delivered a swift, brutal side-kick straight into his ribs.
The force folded the male in half, sending him writhing on the dirt while choking out raw, agonized groans.
Scared hushes and panicked whispers surged through the crowd above: “She’s insane!…
She turned Alpha Caden into her personal executioner!” “How does she dare watch this torture without even blinking?!” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Z_Hira Don’t be stingy with me!
Show me your hidden golden tickets!
What are you going to do with them there?
Come on, show them to me!
