The second-to-last day of fighting saw the arena with more fans than ever before, despite there being less fighters. Word had spread through different shifter clans and there was a certain bloodthirstiness in the air that Lily was sure her father would enjoy, but which made her particularly ill.

Lucas had just this last match to win if he wanted to participate in the finals.

Tim and Tom were off today and she was alone on her couch in the VIP room as Lucas’s match started.

She tried not to watch. Fighting wasn’t sexy when the man you loved could possibly get hurt. Instead, she thought about what they’d done last night, how hot he’d been, how protective. How he’d made an insurmountable obstacle like rescuing her sister seem totally in reach.

Perhaps for his family, it was. Especially with her father distracted by the fights and the parties.

Now she just had to hope he got through a couple more fights and won before her father could catch on to who he was.

She clenched her hands together as she saw Lucas deliver the first hit. She put her face in her hands, trying to knead away the stress at her temples, and froze when she heard a voice behind her.

“Interesting competitor, that one,” the voice said.

She felt weight on the couch that meant someone had sat next to her. She looked up to see Bruce McGavin, the man who’d been gross to her on the first night of the tournament. He was also the alpha everyone expected to win. She tried to scoot back away from him, but the side of the couch closed her in.

“What are you doing up here? This is the VIP box,” she said.

He sipped champagne calmly from a glass. “Well, it’s a good thing I’m a VIP, then. At least according to your father.”

She swallowed and tried to act unaffected, turning her attention back toward Lucas’s fight. He was easily winning. His opponent appeared to have alpha strength, but that didn’t seem to be a problem for him anymore.

He looked up toward her and she flashed him a grin, hoping he didn’t look beside her.

“What do you want?” she asked Bruce. “Or did you just come to ruin my enjoyment of the fight?”

Bruce laughed and gave her a long, slow look that made her feel dirty. “Enjoyment? You always look ill when watching them. I would know. I’ve been watching you.”

The thought made her a little ill, but she tried not to show it. She didn’t want to give any of herself to this shifter that made her skin crawl.

“Anyway, if he wins this match, I have something that might interest you,” he said. “We’ll see.”

She said nothing, simply waited with the sound of her heartbeat in her ears as the match went on. When it ended, Lucas’s hand was raised as the victor, and she let out a sigh of relief.

“I wouldn’t celebrate just yet,” Bruce said, handing her a large envelope.

She made to open it, but he clicked his tongue and shook his head.
