Chapter 161-170

Chapter 161
Zev stared Xar down, knowing he had to win this.

Where Chimera’s animal ancestors roamed the mountains in the wild, Siberian tigers and alpine wolves shared territory—and food sources. The two predators often crossed paths and gave each other a wide berth when there was plenty of food.

But when resources were short…

It was a known fact that a pack of wolves would, almost always defeat a single tiger. And that a tiger fighting a single wolf, would almost always walk away victorious.

But Zev also knew there were two elements in his favor.

Zev had long known that any creature’s level of desperation could go a long way to defeating an enemy. But on top of that, a Chimera’s Alpha authority was bolstered by their support from within the society—and if he didn’t miss his guess, more than two thirds of the males at the gathering were now positioned behind him. It helped that the wolves were the most numerous Chimera.

Of course, he’d beaten a tiger before—and Xar had witnessed his triumph.
