195 Chapter 195

Damien’s POV 1

That sound.

That low, feral growl cutting through the warehouse noise like a blade.

My entire body locked up. Every muscle went rigid. My wolf exploded to the surface so fast it physically hurt.

*That’s-*

No. Impossible.

*That’s our mate!*

Alex was losing his mind inside me. Clawing. Snarling. Desperate to get out.

I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. My hands gripped the railing in front of me so hard the metal groaned.

“Damien?” Lucas’s voice sounded far away. “Did you hear that?”

I didn’t answer. Couldn’t.

Because that sound–that growl-

I knew it.

Knew it in my bones. In my soul. In every cell of my body that had spent three years aching for something I’d lost.

“Damien, seriously, what’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

My head turned. Slow. Like moving through concrete.

The ring came into focus.

The fighter–the woman–was on her feet.

She’d been down. Beaten. Everyone thought she was finished.

But she was standing.

And she was moving.

Not defense. Not survival.

Pure fucking attack.

Her fist drove into her opponent’s chin with a crack I heard from fifty feet away. His head snapped back. Blood sprayed.

The crowd erupted.

“HOLY SHIT!” Someone screamed beside me.

“DID YOU SEE THAT?”

“SHE’S GOING TO KILL HIM!”

The noise swelled to a roar. Hundreds of people surging forward. Pushing. Shoving. Everyone trying to get closer to the carnage.

And I stood there. Frozen. Watching her destroy this man twice her size.

Her movements were familiar.

The way she moved. The way she struck. The particular angle of her elbow when it connected with his ribs.
