The arena was packed with people, their voices mingling into an intense din. The crowd mingled like a throng,
excited attendees chattering about the next fight on tonight's roster. The whole place smelled like sweat, beer,
and cheap food.
Truth be told, | had never really thought much about the fight club. It was commonplace for werewolves to
attend fights like this in our pack-in most packs, really-and was often considered one of the staples of pack life.
But | had never cared much for it. | still didn’t, really, and had really only accepted Drake's invitation to pi** Noah
off.
Although, | couldn’t completely deny the way that it gotso excited tonight. It raised my heart rate, made my
pupils dilate. Every drop of blood on the ring floor made my veins seem to thrum with anticipation, my wolf
bristling inside of me.
Blood. Maybe that was what | needed, Sgood, old-fashioned, blood and sweat.

Zoe, of course, had immediately dropped her mask of excitement now that Noah and Drake were gone. She had
taken her seat and started scrolling through her phone, tapping her foot on the cement floor, and hadn't said
much of anything to me.
| glanced at the ton my phone and realized that the next fight was about to begin, but on a cursory glance,
the crowd was too thick forto see Noah and Drake headed my way.
“They've been gone for stime,” | said, standing on my tiptoes to get a better look.
Zoe glanced up atfrom her phone. “You think they got lost?”
| shrugged and tossed her a smirk. “Maybe. They are men, after all.”
To my surprise, Zoe smirked in response to my joke before she returned to her phone once more. Sighing. |
stepped out of our box area and began pushing my way through the crowd in search of Noah and Drake.
A few minutes later, | found them standing beside a food stand. Noah was digging through his wallet for some
crumpled bills and Drake was standing off to the side with a perturbed look on his face.
“There you guys are.”
Noah grunted something in response. It was as | drew closer, though, that | noticed that something was off-
Drake's brow was furrowed, the front of his shirt slightly rumpled in one spot. He glanced at me, then at Noah,
and then over the top of the crowd with a clenched jaw
Strange. So unlike Drake-usually he was the jovial one
Before | could ask what was going on, Noah turned and suddenly thrust a soft pretzel and a cup of soda into my
hands. “Thanks,” | muttered, taking a sip of the soda. It was cold and crisp, and the carbonated sweetness
practically made my pupils dilate.
“Need anything else?” Noah asked. Drake was already grabbing his and Zoe's beers and pretzels and
disappearing into the crowd.

| shook my head and held the cup up a bit. “This is diet, right?” | asked, taking another sip.
Noah pursed his lips. “You don’t need that diet crap. It’s not any better for you than the regular stuff.”
Shocked, | opened my mouth and then closed it again, had asked for diet soda, not r
regular. “But the sugar,” | protested, picking up my pace into a jog in order to catch up with Noah's long strides
as he began making his way back to our seats. “It's too many calories.”
He shota withering look over his shoulder, his green eyes rovingup and down-and finally coming to
linger on my thighs. My thighs, which, lately, had been a bit more fleshy and were even more pronounced
tonight in my tight jeans.

Instantly, | felt my face redden to a tomato when Noah's gaze lingered there. | couldn't quite tell if he judging me
