Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2)

Excitement and adrenaline coursed through me as I lengthened my stride

and formed a line with my teammates. Sam and Rayne were coming up

behind us, and I really wanted to take Sam out.

Sam wove between two of her blockers, trying to skirt around us, but

Zara and I pushed ahead using our outstretched arms and asses to cut her off.

Cheers rocked the warehouse as one of our blockers grabbed Rayne by

the wrist and slingshotted her around the pack. Free from the chaotic cluster

of jostling and cursing women, she flew forward, her long strides propelling

her ahead.

Sam growled from behind and burst through Zara and me with a laugh,

nearly taking my arm off and causing Zara to lose her footing and swerve

into the pit.

My adrenaline surged, and only one thought filled my mind: Get even.

Biting back the pain, I sped after Sam, hunting for blood. I’d been on the

bench the whole game, and with seconds left to play, this was my only

chance to blow off a little steam.

Sam slowed slightly as she glanced over her shoulder, and I used my

speed to cut the corner and propel myself into her. My hip crashed into hers,

but she stayed upright. She elbowed me in the ribs and shoved me sideways

with a wicked grin just as the ref blew the whistle.

I crashed into the railing beside the rink, and the impact drove the air

from my lungs. My teeth ached, the beds of my fingernails itched, and I was

ready to murder. That, or collapse and moan a bit.

Hands gripped my arms, and I blinked as faces from the crowd flooded

my vision. Then Zara was beside me, cursing at the bystanders and pulling

me back into the rink.

The taste of copper filled my mouth, and I touched my lower lip, wincing

at the sting, my gums throbbing.

“What happened to your mouthguard?” Zara asked, looking at my busted

lip with concern.
