The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328: My Victory

Meredith.

Jeffery lunged forward with his claws flashing, but I dropped low, scraping dirt on my palms, and sprang up behind him before his momentum could shift.

Then my hand grazed his side—a light tap, nothing that could hurt, but enough to mark.

His eyes widened. He never expected that I could do that.

"You are too slow," I teased, the words slipping out before I could stop them. I guess this is what excitement feels like.

Draven’s chuckle rolled across the grounds. "Careful, wife. Keep taunting him and he might stop holding back altogether."

Jeffery didn’t answer me, not that I expected one. He only reset his stance and sharpened his eyes.

Then came at me again, faster this time. His body was almost a complete blur.

For a heartbeat, I thought he had me. But then, Valmora’s voice cut through the rush, "Don’t fight his force. Redirect it."

The moment his arm shot out, I pivoted, grabbed it, and let his weight carry forward. He stumbled a step—Beta Jeffery stumbling. I could hardly believe it myself.

The air around us seemed to change. Even without an audience, it felt like the world was watching.

I steadied my breathing, sweat rolling down my temple. My body felt lighter, sharper—as if every muscle knew exactly what to do before I even thought about it.

"Valmora," I called her from within. "Is this what you meant? About some of my abilities, unlocking?"

Her voice was smooth and proud. "Yes, Meredith. This is only the beginning. Now stop holding back. You weren’t just born to dodge. You were born to strike as well."

I felt a thrill run through me as I repeated her last statement. A second later, I lifted my gaze to Jeffery.

He was circling me now and waiting for me to falter, but for the first time since I had started training, I didn’t feel like the prey waiting for the predator’s blow.

No—I was the predator here, and now.

Instead of retreating, I advanced. My fists cut through the air, forcing him to block and step back. The surprise in his eyes fueled me even more.

"Good," he muttered under his breath as our arms collided. "You are doing your best."

I wish I could agree with him, but unfortunately, this wasn’t my best. My best was yet to come.

Strike after strike, I pressed Jeffery, forcing his weight onto his heels. His counterattacks grew sharper and heavier.

One missed my chin by an inch, the wind of it sharp against my face, but instead of stumbling, I spun with it, using the motion to launch my leg upward. He caught it, locking me in place.

He smirked. "Got you—"

But in that split second, Valmora whispered to me, "Now."

Without a break, I twisted my body, planted my free leg firmly on the ground, and slammed my elbow toward his ribs.

Jeffery stared at me, shock flickering across his usually unreadable face. Even Draven’s brows lifted, his sharp eyes glinting with surprise. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The word froze me for a second. ’Luna?’. There was no hint of mockery or reluctance. It was just a steady acknowledgement.

I laughed breathlessly, still high from the strike I had landed. "Good. Because next time, I do plan to more than surprise you." I have unlocked a supernatural ability now.
