My voice trailed off. | didn't want to say it, but | didn't really need to; Matt knew what | was talking about.
"It's okay to be angry, Enzo," he said softly. "Just don't take it out on her."
"I'm not. You can truston that." | ran a hand through my hair and sighed.
Truthfully, ever since the pure shit that had gone down in Mila's underground palace, | had developed some...
anger issues. The punching bag helped, but only so much. Lately | had caught myself having to refrain from
snapping at Nina over small things, and I felt like shit for it.
"I haven't yelled at her or anything like that," | said. "I don't even think she knows how angry | get sometimes."
"She notices. Nina notices everything." Matt met my gaze squarely. "But she loves you, even if you're beating
that punching bag to a pulp,"
| swallowed and looked over at the punching bag; there was a sizeable dent in it now that hadn't been there just
days prior.
"Heh. | guess | should give it a break," | said with a laugh.
Matt smirked. "How about a spar, then?" he asked. "Switch it up a bit."
"Yeah. A spar would be good."

appearances, we were in high spirits. With music playing over the bluetooth speaker and our usual banter filling
the air, it felt no different from a casual hockey session or a run in the woods.
"Cat me," Matt teased, eggingon. "I know you can do better than that."
"Oh, do you?" | lunged forward and went for an uppercut beneath Matt's ribs-avoiding the face for good
sportsmanship. | got a couple of good jabs in, and then Matt whirled around me, going for the back of my knee
with his foot.
It was just a spar. Something light-hearted to get the blood pumping. That was all it was supposed to be.
But then something happened when Matt's foot met the back of my knee. | whirled around, and when | looked in
his eyes...
They were no longer his eyes.
My smile faded, as did everything else around me. Matt was gone, replaced by... by the bear that | had fought in
Mila's sickening arena. Only, he was no longer in his bear form. He was in his human form, and very much alive.
Aside from the fact that his skin was rotting off of his bones.
"Cat me," he said, beckoning to me. "Con, | know you can—"
| don't know what happened next. All | know is that | utterly lost it. My breaths cout in enraged growls, my
chest heaving, my fists flying. | didn't stop. | couldn't stop. Not until he was nothing but pulp on the floor. Not
until...
"Enzo! Enzo, it's me!"
His hand caught my fist mere inches
before it hit his face, and that was
