Chapter 345: Dealing with Gary

{Dennis’s POV}.

It’s been two days since the meeting with our people living here in Duskmoor city, and I needed to hit the training grounds.

Not just to stay sharp, but to clear my head and think of a way to deal with Gary on my brother’s behalf.

And, truth be told, to watch a few of my brothers’ warriors knock each other about like good little hounds. Always entertaining.

But when I walked in this morning, what do I find?

Gary.

Of course, he was standing there with a practice blade like he owned the place when, in the actual sense, he wasn’t allowed to be here in the first place.

I stopped dead, blinked once, then grinned. Oh, this is too perfect.

The warriors had paused mid-spar. They were trying not to laugh, but I could see it in their eyes — a Carter boy, parading himself where he didn’t belong.

"Well, well," I drawled, strolling over with my hands behind my back like I’d caught a rabbit digging holes in Draven’s garden. "Look who decided to join the wolves today."

Gary gave me that stiff smile, the kind that belongs on a portrait, not a face. "I don’t see a problem. It’s a training ground, isn’t it? I came to train. Or is this discrimination?"

The word nearly made me choke. Discrimination. From him. I couldn’t help myself — I laughed. Loud enough for the others to hear.

"You hear that, boys?" I turned to the warriors, my grin sharp. "Apparently, I’m discriminating. Poor Gary here thinks I’m being unfair."

That got a few smirks out of them, though they kept quiet. Good men.

Then I leaned in, close enough for Gary to see the amusement in my eyes. "Listen carefully. Every wolf here earned his right to train on this ground. You? You haven’t earned a damn thing."

His jaw tightened. Pride is a fragile little beast. "And how exactly am I supposed to earn it?"

I tapped my chin, pretending to think. Then the idea hit, and oh, it was delicious. "Simple," I said with a smirk, already knowing how to bait his pride. "You duel me."

The words landed like a stone in still water. Warriors straightened. A ripple of energy ran through the air.

Gary blinked. "What?"

"You heard me," I said, tilting my head. "You want to feel like one of us? You fight like one of us. You duel me. No blades, no claws—just fists and grit. If you last more than two minutes, maybe I will let you come back tomorrow."

Gasps and low chuckles stirred around us.

I could almost see his pride twisting inside him, pushing him into the trap. There was no backing out now. Not with half a dozen wolves watching.

"Unless..." I let the pause linger, then smirked wider. "Unless you would rather I tell everyone you chickened out?"

And that did it. Gary’s jaw tightened. A Carter doesn’t back down in front of witnesses. Not when pride is on the line.

"Fine," he snapped. "I accept."

Oh, this was going to be fun.

"Good," I said with a grin, stepping into the cleared circle as the men formed around us. "Try not to embarrass yourself too quickly."
