Chapter Thirteen

The ripples of his muscles as Sebastian moved was a welcomed distraction. I was able to duck and swerve his punches. Which meant I was on the defense and needed to step my A-game up and try to get a lick in. I’d never had any formal training to fight, but Ollie liked to practice the wrestling moves he saw on TV as a kid, and I was his sparring partner. I’d like to think that it prepared me for this precise moment. Also, I remember a homeless man who avoided a fight with someone in the subway once and told me that if you pretend to be crazy they leave you alone. With a combination of both, I prayed to God I’d win this or at least make it out alive.

After ducking a right hook, I crawled between Sebastian’s legs and popped up behind him. Wasting no time, I jumped onto his back and got a good grip around his neck with my arms, and wrapped my legs around his thick waist. He tried to fling me off but I held on tight.

The cheers in the background thundered and I hoped a beat cop wasn’t walking by to hear it. I was glad it was loud enough that no one could hear me screaming—no one except Sebastian at least. Maybe it was nerves, or adrenaline, but I screamed “I’m crazy, I’m crazy!” like a hysterical looney, giving Bash a hard time because I yelled it into his ear.

“Kenz! Fight fair, damnit!” Bash was growling but nothing he said was getting me off him. I squeezed my arms and tried to choke him—not as easy as it looks, he’s a big guy—but it helped that his body was firm, warm and strong, which made me want to hold on even more.

“Fine, have it your way,” he said and charged backwards until he slammed my back onto one of the tables. I sucked in a breath as it was completely expelled from my body. I tried to hold on, but with that blow, I was seeing stars and lost my grip on him.

Sebastian went back into the make-shift circle. Two people grabbed me on either side, and without waiting to see if I was okay, they threw me back into the fight. I slid across the floor and my eyes played catch up. I didn’t see Bash come toward me and pick me up by the front of my sweater.

“SEBASTIAN!” I heard Jonah roar from the crowd, right before I was slammed back down on the ground. I gurgled a grunt and couldn’t open my eyes. It might not have been the pain, more the fear of fighting, that I lingered a little too long on the floor. When I opened my eyes, Sebastian was in half wolf mode and coming toward me on all fours. Shit.

I scrambled backwards until I could pick myself up and scurried out of the way. He skidded across the concrete once he missed me and fell into a group of werewolves, giving me the time to regroup.
