As we stood facing each other, we both heard footsteps coming from outside. Joanna and I looked at each other, ignoring the commotion out there. Our attention was on each other.
Joanna attacked me first. She threw herself at me and threw me to the ground.
I gasped for breath. I felt intense pain coming from my body. I felt Joanna press her claws on my body. I guessed that blood was flowing out from there.
I lay on the ground and reached out to cover my wound. Then, I found that the pain quickly disappeared.
The footsteps and the noisy voices around me grew louder. Joanna and I gradually could not ignore the noise around us.
"What is that sound?" Joanna asked in surprise.
I listened carefully. After becoming a royal Lycan, my hearing became sharper.
I heard a sound from the noisy and complicated voices that made my heart beat faster.
"Get out of my way!" A deep and pleasant male voice roared.
