Axel wraps his strong arms around me and crushes my face to his chest. “Praise the fucking gods you made it!”

I pat him on the back, muffling, “Thanks, Axel, but… can’t breathe…”

“Easy up there,” Memphis tells him, pulling me from Axel’s suffocating embrace. “You fought well, kid. There’s not a person in this room who’d wanna get on your bad side now. Not that we’d let them.”

He points to the enormous screens hanging from the ceiling. They’re each displaying various scenes from my time in the arena; the tiger and polar bear; watching the guys get eaten by the monster eels; climbing the frozen waterfall with Alex aka Gold; fighting with him over the box at the end.

Winning.

Everyone is cheering and watching them like it’s their victory as well as mine.

This entire system is so fucked up.

And I desperately need a shower. I wonder if my new room will have a bath? I took that for granted back home. Now I really miss it.

“You’re still shaking,” Axel comments, eyeing me closely. “Must be the adrenaline. Let’s get you to your new room before you crash.”

I nod, following them out of the room, which is difficult with everyone congratulating me.

“About time those fuckin’ mutts died,” someone shouts, receiving a loud cheer.

“Wonder who the next pack’ll be…”

I wonder, too. There were still only five wolves in the arena with me, which means Tyler never participated. I highly doubt I’ve seen the last of him. I push those thoughts from my mind, focusing on my prize. Not only did I get a new room, but I’m going to be on the same floor as the governor. If that doesn’t scream ‘getting close’, I don’t know what will. It’s definitely setting the wheels into motion.

Outside the room, Luke is waiting for me. A sour-face woman stands beside him, dressed in a coral nurse uniform, and she doesn’t look pleased to see that I won.

“Once you are changed, you’ll come to the infirmary,” she orders, pivoting on her heel and marching up the stairs.

“What for?” I ask Luke, because clearly, the nurse isn’t going to answer me.

“Just a quick medical check,” he answers.

Axel wraps an arm around my shoulders. “Well, I’ll go with her then since that cow isn’t waiting.”

“You’re not her warden,” Luke growls, swatting his hand away and ushering me up the steps.

I glance back at them, mouthing, “See you later”, to which they both reply with a salute and head back into the room. Meanwhile, Luke escorts me to the locker room, and I change into my clothes. He then takes me up to the infirmary in the east wing of the prison. I remember this place now just from the antiseptic smell. He took me through here on the way to the morgue.

The nurse who I saw just moments ago leads me to a spare bed and pulls the curtain around. Snapping on a pair of latex gloves, she begins her check-up while Luke waits by the curtain.

The examination is surprisingly quick and not too invasive.
