Valerie felt helpless; all her adrenaline from before flew out of the window. She couldn't bear to hurt Alessia, not even in the name of training. This rule was ambiguous. Knocking Alessia unconscious at her level of strength would mean Valerie would have to resort to cruel means to do so.
It was not a training session Alpha Denzel was emphasizing. It was a real battle. Valerie was upset and to confirm if this was Alpha Denzel's revenge for her disobedience or merely his style of training, she said to him, "Give me someone else."
"No. You want to spar with her, so you fight with her," Alpha Denzel said with a deadpan expression, confirming her suspicion.
Valerie's eyes were teary. She couldn't bear to hurt Alessia, and neither could she control her anger. Not caring that she was in front of his pack members, she began to rage like a wounded lion.
