Darius’s teammates rushed to the mat and congratulated him with hugs and handshakes. Tim was beaming and kept rubbing Darius’s hair, which for once didn’t seem to bother him.

“I did it,” Darius said when he eventually reached Mason and Olivia.

“You did.” Olivia hugged him. “We’re so proud of you, you did so well.”

“Congratulations.” Mason held out his hand.

Darius shook it, his eyes shining with emotion.

“Just goes to prove what you can achieve when you put your mind to it,” Mason said. “Anything.”

“You helped me.”

“I just put you on the right road.”

“The right road, huh.”

Mason turned at the sound of Elias’s father. “I beg your pardon?”

“Half of those moves were off the books, and the other half landed with luck.”

Mason could hardly believe his ears. “I don’t think so.”

“Should be my son lifting the trophy.”

“He would be if he’d scored the most points,” Mason said. “And if you’ve got a problem, go discuss it with the judges and the ref.”

The man kind of snarled. It was clear he was pissed off.

“Leo Hunter.” The ref stepped forward with his hand outstretched. “Congratulations on second place for Elias. Trophy ceremony tomorrow morning.”

Leo muttered something and stepped away.

The ref nodded at Mason and Olivia. “We’ll see you then, and congratulations to you both. I know how much dedication and commitment parents have to put in for their child to reach this level.”

“Thank you,” Olivia said. “We’re very proud of Darius.”

“So you should be.”

The arena was emptying fast. It had been a long afternoon and the lure of Perth and dinner clearly on everyone’s minds.

“I’ll see you later,” Niall said to Darius.

“Sure.” Darius was still grinning.

“And congratulations, you did brilliantly,” Niall added.

“Thank you.” Darius knocked back some water.

“He really did,” Niall’s mother said. “The whole club is proud of him.”

“A club with a black kid as their star fighter. Huh. What kind of club is that?”

The hairs on the back of Mason’s neck tingled. Heat flooded his veins.

He spun to face Leo Hunter. “Say that again.”

“Say what again?” Leo shrugged.

Elias was standing next to him, draining a water bottle.

“What you just said.” Mason took a step forward. “About my son.”

“Your son.” Leo huffed, his nostrils flaring. “You looked in the mirror lately? He doesn’t exactly have any of your features.”

Mason’s jaw tightened. His teeth clenched so hard he feared they’d break.

“Come on.” Olivia tugged his arm. “Let’s go, he’s not worth it.”

Leo shoved his hands into his jeans pockets. He nodded at Olivia. “He doesn’t have any of her features either while we’re on the subject.”

“Darius is our son,” Mason said. “You need to watch your mouth.”

“Watch my mouth.” Leo laughed, a horrible abrasive sound that didn’t hold humor, just scorn. “You need to watch your wife. How’d you get a pretty little thing like that? You a rich son of a bitch or something?”

Mason took four fast steps forward, until he was face to face with Leo. “Shut your fucking mouth before I make you.”

The next thing he knew, a punch was flying his way.
