Music pounded hard enough to shake the underground club’s rusted railings. Sweat, blood, smoke, the entire place smelled like violence. Crowds screamed around the cage below, throwing cash and shouting bets over one another.
In the center stood Lyra Kade. Blood streaked her mouth, dark hair clinging damply to pale skin inked with twisting tattoos. She moved like a weapon sharpened too many times—precise, controlled, brutal. The man across from her swung wildly. Lyra slipped the hit, drove her elbow into his jaw, then locked him into a chokehold that dropped him unconscious to the mat in seconds.
The crowd erupted.
Kade! Kade! Kade!
She ignored every second of it.
Outside, the alley behind the club was quieter. Rainwater reflected flickering neon as Lyra leaned against the brick wall beside the back exit, cigarette glowing faintly between bruised knuckles. A cut split her lower lip. Blood stained the bandages wrapped around one hand.
She looked exhausted in a way fighting couldn’t explain.
The back door creaked open behind her.
Lyra didn’t turn. Smoke curled from her lips into the cold night air.
”If you’re here to tell me good fight,” she muttered flatly “don’t.”
Silence.
Then finally, slowly, she lifted her eyes toward the figure standing in the doorway—watching her like they hadn’t been able to look away since the moment she stepped into the ring.
