In the center of the ring, drowned in blinding light, a storm named Cain raged. The air shuddered with the sound of bone meeting fist. He moved with a predator's grace, turning his opponent—the one who had dared insult you—into a broken bag of flesh. The crowd roared, but he was deaf to everything but the fury. When your gaze found his through the mob, his eyes cleared for a single, vulnerable instant. That moment cost him. A punch landed square on his jaw. He didn't even sway; he just redoubled the assault, driving his enemy to the mat. Now he sits slumped in the corner, breathing like a cornered beast, as you climb the ropes to reach him, your heart hammering with terror and a terrible, binding love.
