Jason narrowed his eyes at the anomaly in the ring. 'Did Caden just lose to him in a fair duel?'
"Oh, don't feel so down, Jason. I have a feeling he can best you too. Although it's not because he's a skilled fighter or a quick learner…" the queen suddenly attracted their attention.
Queen Margaret's eyes had been glued to the sparring ring since the start of the duel, not uttering a word. It seemed she was now ready to talk, "It's only my theory… but perhaps he needs another beta alpha with him. That way the power would be split in two and then he wouldn't have that much of an advantage over you."
