Chapter Fifteen

A bell dinged to start the match, the sound like a death toll echoing in her head, and Raven swallowed past her dry throat.

Goliath charged, his bulk moving incredibly fast, the earth rumbling at his approach.

Jackson narrowed his eyes and stood his ground, giving nothing away as the man bore down on him like a speeding truck.

Her whole body tightened, braced for impact when Jackson dove out of the way at the last second. But instead of getting to safety, he kicked out and smashed his foot into Goliath’s knee.

The big gorilla bellowed in surprise, lost his balance and began to tip like a felled tree.

The crowd gasped, the cheers dying down as the interest in the fight picked up. Probably the first real competition Goliath had ever had in the ring.

Jackson whirled and brought the side of his fist down on the back of Goliath’s skull.

The man toppled, the ground shaking under the massive thump.

Raven breathed a sigh of relief at the quick win, unable to tear her eyes away from the fascinating way Jackson’s muscles rippled with every movement. Her fingertips tingled to touch, wanting to run her hands possessively over him.

The perfect fighting machine.

The gorilla pushed himself to his feet and gave a massive roar, his incisors lengthening two inches. Her skin iced over as the crowd cheered, and the circus folks stopped casing the audience to watch the fight.

Jackson darted in, landing two quick blows before dashing out of range.

Goliath swung those tree trunks he called arms, and her breath caught.

One hit.

With one hit, he could put Jackson out of commission permanently.

Jackson dodged the first swing, then spun away from the second aimed to cave in his chest. He dropped to the ground, kicked out, his foot a blur slicing out to thump into Goliath’s ribs and unprotected side.

Even over the roar of the crowd, she heard bones snap.

Jackson rolled to put distance between them, but Goliath lunged forward and grabbed his leg. He spun, picking Jackson off the ground and slammed him face-first into the pole at the perimeter of the ring.

The brutal impact shot a jagged foot-long crack into the wooden pole.

Bile rose in the back of her throat, muscles tensed to dash into the ring, expecting Jackson to collapse. Instead, he grabbed the pole and wrenched himself out of the gorilla’s grip. He hit the ring with a thud that kicked up a plume of dust before he slowly rose to his feet.

Her pulse raced, and her body shook as too much adrenaline flooded her system. Watching the battle was much more devastating than being forced to fight for her life.

She couldn’t stand being pretending to be human and helpless.

Blood ran down Jackson’s face, his brow and jaw already swelling from the impact.

His usual sharpness appeared lacking, and he stumbled for a nanosecond. Her heart withered and cracked when he didn’t seem to snap out of it. “Something’s wrong.”

Greggory grunted. “Concussion. He’ll need to push through it fast or he’ll only grow weaker.
