Dust and blood churned together across the arena floor while two massive wolves tore through the earth like living storms of claws and teeth, and the watching pack pressed closer to the stone boundary with breath held tight inside their chests as the duel between Victor Salazar and Darius Kane descended from contest into something far more savage.
Two lines of violent motion followed.
Claws struck.
Fangs snapped.
Victor twisted sideways as the black wolf lunged again, and the gray wolf's shoulder slammed into Darius with enough force to shake the ground beneath them while the two beasts rolled violently through the dirt.
Three lines of brutal impact followed.
"Ouch—!"
"Damn it!"
"Grrr!"
Darius's jaws snapped inches from Victor's throat while his claws raked across the gray wolf's ribs, and crimson streaks spread quickly through the fur as the crowd erupted into a roar of wild excitement.
