Damon saw that Maddox was leaning toward Talia and he didn't like it.
Damon decided to put him in his place.
"Talia…", Damon called. "Based on the coach's speech, I understood that you played a significant role in showing others how they are not a match for us. Especially the Blue River pack who didn't even reach the semifinals."
Maddox's expression darkened. Was there a need to call out his team? There were several other teams who failed to reach the semifinals!
Damon's hand snaked around Talia's waist, and he pulled her closer to him (and away from Maddox).
Talia's insides were a mess. What was Damon doing? Any closer and she will end up sitting in his lap!
When their hips connected and her bottom stopped gliding over the bench, Damon released Talia and she nervously looked up at Damon only to see him glaring at Maddox.
"Maybe losers should focus on training their team until the next tournament instead of scheming to poach my people."
