Chapter 52 The Beta's True Name

• DRAKE
• “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” I yell back, seizing the moment to drive my fist into his jaw. The impact makes Milan stumble, and I push him off me, scrambling to my feet. My stance is ready—every nerve waiting for the fight that’s clearly far from over.
• Milan wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth but charges at me again, like the pain doesn’t even matter. I swing for his face, hoping to land another punch, but he ducks with practiced speed and slams into me, knocking me to the ground again. His fists rain down, one after another, but I twist my head aside, raising my arms to block him as best I can. Shouts break out around us, voices calling for him to stop. I hear Peter’s voice specifically, trying to drag Milan off me, but the man is relentless.
