Chapter 31 Our Princess Is In Heat!

Viper smiled, like he’d been expecting the question all along. “I have no idea where she’s from, and honestly, I don’t care. For that, you’ll have to ask Freylock—he’s one of our suppliers. But as for why she’s called the Princess, now THAT I can explain.”

He paused, clearly relishing the moment before continuing. “We have fights in the arena every week, but Beauty and the Beast only started about two years ago—thanks to her. You see, normal fights are just men fighting men, or women fighting women. You fight until one party is dead. Those shows get the adrenaline pumping to a degree, but those are all wolves after all. Eventually, both parties shift, and it becomes just another boring animal fight.”

He took a slow sip from a glass of red wine handed to him by one of the waitresses, savoring it before going on. “Watching people turn into beasts and rip each other apart, it loses its thrill after a while. The audience’s excitement was fading. Then, one day, she showed up.”
