Oscar:
I remained sitting with the dust of the arena thick in my lungs, but it wasn't the fall that stole my breath... it was her.
Evaline Greystone.
The girl whose face had been etched into a corner of my mind I didn't dare acknowledge. The girl I had only seen once, barely for a few minutes, and yet her eyes had haunted me since.
And now, she was here. In my arena. In my world. And she had just defeated me in front of dozens of people.
I should have been angry.
I should have launched to my feet and demanded an explanation - who let her in, why she was here, what she wanted. She wasn't just anyone. She was his daughter.
The daughter of the man who killed my parents, brought my pack to ruin. Who orchestrated the attack that nearly cost me and my brothers our lives. Her father's blood soaked the memories of our past, the same blood that ran through her veins.
I was unable to remove my gaze from her retreating figure.
