Chapter 57

• Jerome
• I stared at the alpha in front of me trying not to show my fears. My body was filled with fear and I was glad that I was able to hold myself from shivering. It looks like this would be the end of me. This is more than I think. I felt my eyes getting cloudy but I tried hard to hold it in. I could feel nervousness seeping through my body system. I stared at Erica who gave me a thumb up. I was glad that I had someone like her. I was glad that she didn't leave me even after knowing that the chance of me winning in this duel is ten percent.
• I knew that she had hope in me that I would be able to win against my opponents and I prayed that I would be able to. I felt my breath hitch as I remembered her words of encouragement which she said to me right before I entered the ring. I know that things won't go as easy as I want but I'm ready to do anything to win the duel. No one would be stopping me from getting what I want. I would make sure I win. I have the urge to strive hard to win. I felt the need to be the winner. I felt that there is nothing I can do to make Erica happy other than for me to win and that would be exactly what I would do.
