Chapter 112: Challenger

~ ZEV ~

His brother still moved like a snake. And like Zev, the past three years had done nothing but add to his strength and speed. As they threw themselves together again, Zev smiled grimly when he realized his fears had been unfounded. His time with the humans hadn't blunted his instincts. He was still able to see his brother's attacks coming.

Lhars flowed forward, throwing both hands in thrusts for Zev's chin in a one-two that, if they had connected, would have dropped him like a stone. A human likely couldn't even have seen Lhar's hands move before the victim was on the floor. But Zev ducked his head and brought his shoulders up to block—one, two—then dropped his entire upper body to duck when Lhars added a jab for his temple.
