Chapter 67 Losing It

• Kade POV
• The second fighter lunges, but he’s too slow. I twist, slamming my knee into his gut with everything I have left, and he drops to the ground, wheezing.
• My breath is coming too fast, my head swimming, my ribs burning so bad I almost can’t breathe, but I don’t let myself collapse. It's done, I've proven I'm strong enough, I’ve earned the right to fucking stop, but the second I take half a step back, I hear the sound of more feet stepping forward, the weight of fresh bodies shifting into place. My stomach tightens as I glance up, taking in the two new men stepping into the chalk-marked square.
