I approach the stage right as the other fighter kneels down behind Alex and wraps hisbeast coht He fucking knew there was a chance he’d die Well, bringingthat could have happened to hiht, but the worst that could have happened toback It took me six years in that prison to findaside I controlled it in the alley, but not here I won’t be able to Not when so to take a life I may never shake this now I can already feel the release as anticipation of the blow consuet off on the pain

My ice blue eyes lock with Alex’s Seeing the desperation behind that look is enough to send e, not to mention that he looks fucked out of histhis moment for a while He kneould coles to breathe under the beast’s hold His eyes are already swollen almost completely shut At this moment I want to kill this man, as well as the sick son of a bitch Asher Sharp, that brought hi here, but it’s all he knows; all I know

"Fucking finish hi me off more "He’s done"

My eyes flicker over to the beast they call Abel, and in his lory he doesn’t even notice htens his hold around Alex’s neck and reaches for his chin with his other hand, ready to snap his spine He s, bloody smile that makesto kill him This proves that all the shit I’ve heard about Asher in the past is true

Shit!

My adrenaline hasat Abel in two seconds flat I see red as rip the back of his head and plowhi release

The skin onivesover my hand as I stare down at Abel’s li up tofrom his seat--one of the only few in the warehouse His eyes are dark, his jaw grinding as he whispers to the ned uards--step between the ropes co toward me I should be scared, but it doesn’t faze me I’ve dealt with far worse than these dick heads before

I stand up straight, fists clenched atto back down This isnoill die if that’s what it comes down to Nobody fucks with my flesh and blood; the only person that I love

Nah Fuck that

Taking a step back I block Alex behindthem that I will protect hi right now, that this isn’t ht I put myself here because I deemed it necessary to save the only person I have left

One of the three et ready to come at me I prepare myself to attack, but Asher’s deadly voice causes us all to freeze

"No! Stay fucking put until I say otherwise" Asher takes a step closer to the ring while looking me over When his eyes meet mine he snickers "Well, what the fuck do we have here? The one hitter quitter"

My eyebrow arches as I watch hiuys to join hiain and starts rolling up the sleeves to his black button down "I’ll be da to the rescue I should have known I’d be lucky enough to have you grace et the crowd to cheer "Fucking Memphis Carter hi where the fuck he’s going with this "I’ve heard a lot about you Just ask Alex We’ve had plenty of tis his attention down to Alex, which is now leaning into the rope next ht!" He screams Spit flies and all the veins in his neck pop as he rushes up next to the stage and gets in Alex’s face "Talk toAlex to look up

Alex is covered in blood and sweat, his eyes looking to ain That day scarred me for life, in more ways than one I made a promise to him that day, a promise to always protect him and be there for him That little shit is lucky that I keepup next to my brother, I drape his arm around my shoulder and place my arm around his waist for support as I lift hi at," I spit out "I don’t like ga his head, a vicious s in ht off his lips "What do I want?" He gives me a hard look and shakes the rope "What the fuck do I want?" Pointing to Alex, he looks me dead in the eyes "I want you to pay for your brother’s incompetenceand that shit isn’t cheap"

Frustration taking over, I let out a deep breath and runI fucking need right now I could al point you sick son of a bitch," I growl out

"You fight in place of that little bitch brother of yours It’s clear he can’t hold his own any in his pocket, he pulls out a wad of cash "This pile would be a lot fucking thicker if it weren’t for his inabilities You getet us both killed "How rand" He brings his dark eyes up to ain "I hat is rily at his chest, hands shaking "He needed my help after your fuck up It’s not my fault he chose to stay fucked out of his mind and useless to me He’s lost mehiht to pay off the money he owes and your brother can keep his life, anddecided"
