Chapter 138. Perfect Bodies

Althea decided to take a walk around the grounds with Melva and Ash, accompanied by her three warrior guards. Rudy walked in front, while Ben and Trudis followed behind. Her steps slowed when she reached the edge of the training ground, where a small group had gathered to rest between drills.

“What are they doing?” Althea curiously asked as her gaze swept over the field.

Rudy turned to her, brushing the dirt off his palms. “They’re sparring and practicing their shifting, my lady. It’s part of their routine. Everyone tries to strengthen their control and reflexes.”

“Oh,” Althea murmured, watching as one of the warriors crouched low before shifting mid-run, his body exploding into fur and muscle in the blink of an eye. A startled gasp escaped her lips. “That was… fast.”

Ben chuckled under his breath. “You’ll see faster ones, my lady.”

Melva’s eyes gleamed mischievously. “You know what, my lady? Let’s stay for a bit. It’s actually quite fun to watch.”
