Chapter 127 Losing It

• Kade’s POV
• The shift in the crowd’s energy is immediate, a ripple of shock that spreads so fast it warps the entire atmosphere of the arena. It’s not the usual reaction to a fight or a bad call. It’s something else. Something that twists in my gut before I even see what the fuck they’re reacting to.
• I skate toward the bench, fast, focused, but the way my teammates aren’t talking, the way the entire fucking arena is staring up at the Jumbotron, that makes my stomach lurch. The murmurs start low, but then they build, overlapping, pressing in from all sides.
