There was a turbulence in Levi 's gut as they approached one of the cave 's main entrances. He had challenged Kenny once before, not long before fleeing the swarm with his friends, and had suffered a swift and humiliating defeat. The memory still made his skin crawl. To think of how his uncle had fought him so savagely, made an example of him and crushed his pride in front of the strongest alphas. Then, even after claiming victory, sinking his teeth into Levi 's wing to leave a permanent mark of his failure. The pain had been agonising; searing through his nerves as Kenny thrashed his mouth, pulling and ripping until his tooth split through the edge of Levi 's wing.
