The Den of Pleasure had become used to the presence of Landon, Nova, Lucas and less frequently of Levi. They stayed almost systematically after the closing, appreciating the good child atmosphere between the dancers, the barmen and the owners. They teased each other, threw challenges of dances or cocktails, worked their choreography... After the seriousness and the professionalism of the evening, they released the pressures with laughter and benevolence.

Nova was treated as one of them, whereas Landon, Lucas and Levi were tolerated. At first, everyone ignored them so it was getting better. Landon was struggling to bond with Caleb, who was not making it easy for him. Watching him interact with others, he had come to realize that he was a cool guy and adored by everyone who hung out with him. Lucas was also trying but with little success but it was true that Landon spent more time with him, spending his free time near Avery where Caleb was often. He also slept more often at the house of Sekhmet than at his fraternity house. Besides, Aaron and Caleb were excellent cooks!

One person who didn't see it that way was Mila. Not only did she hate the fact that Levi spent so much time at the Den of Pleasure, but her relationship with Nova and the twins had also deteriorated.  So much so that a few days earlier, Nova had slapped her after she made a nasty comment about Avery. Landon and Lucas had been relieved by Nova's reaction because they would have lost control of their wolves at Mila's lack of respect. They were pleased to see that Nova's hand mark had remained visible for several hours on her cheek. Even Levi was outraged at her inappropriate comment! He wondered more and more if they should really continue their journey together... Besides, as much as he tried to deny it, he was intrigued by Faith. This private dance had left him excited. Every time he thought about it, his member hardened again incontrollable... He wanted so much more.

It was just another late afternoon. Faith, Scarlett and Avery were at practice with the remaining cheerleaders, while Aaron and Caleb were at foot practice. At Basrch Academy, there was no practice because the field had been requisitioned for an intercollegiate game. Landon didn't mind, it allowed him to watch his beautiful mate practice.

Half an hour after the beginning of the training, most of the cheerleaders had frozen before heading to the arena. Indeed, Velho had the particularity of having an arena where all those who wanted to could fight or compete. Landon didn't really know the rules like most of the students who didn't belong to Velho, but the arena was known all over the country. He didn't understand what was going on and sat in the stands a little confused since for the moment there was only Faith, Avery and Scarlett in the arena. Had he missed something? Did they fight about something and he missed it???

A few seconds later, the girls were joined by Aaron and Caleb.

"Why have you summoned us?" Priestess Lorena, head of the witch convent and mate to the dean, asked.

"Yes, we ask for the right to defend her honor, for our sister Nova Locke." Scarlett declared.

What the hell! Landon thought in disbelief.

"On what grounds?" Priestess Lorena questioned.

"Harassment and disrespect by lower ranking wolves." Faith stated.

"Do her opponents know?" Priestess Lorena asked.

"Yes. They know when chasing her all the way here, they will be in trouble." Avery replied. The excitement was evident in her voice.

"Come to the Velho arena right away! I think Nova is in trouble!" Landon ordered his brother via their mental link.

"What's going on?!" Lucas answered directly, mad with worry.
