I stormed into my room, sweat-covered and shaking with adrenaline. Fuck, I’d pounded that guy. I hadn’t meant to, not really. I knew I’d win, but not like that. I hadn’t been prepared for Trinity. Hadn’t known what seeing her and Piers—

The snarl I let loose was uncontrollable. It shook the shitty little mirror over the chest of drawers. I grabbed my head, knowing I needed to hold myself together. The anger at seeing my mate with another, the rage from her rejection, the fucking smell of blood and sex always on the air… It was all too much.

Raindrop.

I paced like a caged animal, which I guessed I was. Owned and collared by the powers that be in this place. My handler had told me the bosses were thrilled with my fight. I’d gone in as the underdog, and the bets had rolled in favoring my opponent throughout the match. That was, until I lost control and knocked his ass out with a few well-placed hits. Still, they’d made a lot of money on me, and that thrilled them. It scared me, though. The anger, the violence…I’d had enough of that over the last year. I wanted quiet, I wanted to stop fighting, and I wanted my mate.

I snarled low and deep, again shaking the mirror. I had no control over that last one, a fact that incited my rage instead of calming it. Fuck, what was I supposed to do about Trinity?

Without warning, my door opened. I spun, crouching, ready to attack whoever dared to enter my room without knocking. As if my thoughts had somehow called to her, Trinity slipped inside. She closed the door and pressed herself against it, eyes wide, looking determined but hesitant. My mate was nervous…perhaps even afraid. Of me. That was enough of a jolt to pull me up short, sort of. The last thing I wanted to do was scare her, but it was all too much. My control could only stretch so far, and her walking in the door smelling like another male was definitely not helping the situation.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” I eased back a step, retreating from her even though I wanted nothing more than to move closer. The scent of her washed over me, all natural and earthy. It called to me, teased me, made me hard for her. Made it difficult to resist her.

She frowned but didn’t drop her eyes from mine. Instead, she raised her chin, almost challenging me. My brave little warrior. “I came to see if you were okay after the fight.”

Oh, hell. I stalked closer, unable to stand my ground. Needing to feel her heat, bathe in her fresh scent. Needing her to erase the memories burning in my mind of blood and cheers and pain. And Piers.

“You checking up on me, Trinity?”

She nodded, slow and smooth. Eyes staying locked on mine. Not backing down. When close enough, I extended my arm and placed my fist against the door just above her shoulder.
