Leon's POV
A grunt slipped through my lips as his foot slammed into my gut, causing me to stumble backwards.
I ignored the flare of pain and charged back at him, my fist aiming for his face that he quickly deflected. I quickly lifted a foot to slam into his side but he jumped out of the way, causing my eyes to narrow.
"Let's go Leon! You can do it!" Remi called out excitedly on the side.
Theodore, my sparring partner rolled his eyes and muttered, "you should worry about yourself. You're next."
Remi grimaced and quickly switched sides, "Wooo! You got this Theo!"
I chuckled, bending in preparation to launch myself at him again.
Out of the three of us, Theo was more skilled in combat. His Kingdom was basically a war zone between him and the Kingdom of Alecia, a large human territory. Similar to my situation but worse. I only had one city to deal with. He had to fight an entire nation. His parents died to the war when he was young, which forced him to take up the responsibility of King before he was of age. His story was the most tragic and I always supplied him with manpower whenever he wished for it. Though, right now he's been helping me instead of the other way around.
Because of how unstable the situation in his Kingdom was, Theo wasn't planning on attending my mating ceremony but because I needed advice in how to handle the war with Glacial city, he packed a bag and came. Thus, these past few days, he'd been helping me the best he could before he had to leave again.
I felt guilty for keeping him from his people and had promised to give a few of my men to him as compensation.
Remi was the one that had it the easiest out of the three of us. He wasn't King yet and had nothing tying him down to responsibility. I guess that's why he could be so carefree like he was now. I somewhat envied him.
Theo lunged at me this time, a fist aiming for my face. I quickly dodged and threw out a fist of my own. He deflected and swung his leg out to kick me in the gut. I threw my hand forward to grab his leg but it was a feint. He quickly pulled it back and sent another fist aiming at my face.
I caught on in time and placed my hand up to block it, stumbling back a few steps at the sheer power behind the blow. I shook my hand off as the pain slowly faded.
I swore, "fuck. You want to damage my face or what?"
Theo's lips twitched as he straightened up and nodded in approval, "you've gotten better."
I rotated my arm and flexed my shoulder, grimacing at the pain, "With how hard Glacial city has been coming at us, it's a given."
"They're of no concern to you now. The war is almost over and your kingdom is this close to winning. As long as you don't give them a chance to strike out desperately, you'll be fine."
I nodded, "thanks again man. Your insight really helped me with this whole thing. I'm looking forward to finally ending it so that I can spend more time with Starr."
Remi approached us, seeing as we had stopped our spar and grinned, "How do you feel, being the first of us to find your mate?"
A smile graced my lips at the thought of her but then I frowned and shook my head, "to be honest, I feel terrible."
Remi furrowed his brows in confusion, "why? You don't want her?"
I shot him a glare, "Don't put words in my mouth. Of course I want her. It's just the circumstances that led us to each other that I find myself regretting. Worst of all, I'm the one who pushed Starr into the situation she was in."
