Raelynn's pov:

Time went by fast and before we know it, it was fight night at the club. Jim took the group that would be fighting tonight and went to the club earlier to get them to know their surroundings.

Cassandra insisted again to come with us so Jace went to pick her up before bringing her to the mansion. Then we took Ryker's car to the club, of course, he drove us there.

(Raelynn's outfit⬆️)

When we reached, the place was already crowded and there was a lot of noise, we could barely hear the music in the background. We made our way to the side where our group was standing with Jim.

"They decided to let the gangs go first as last time they had to stop all the fights as the cops show up," Jim informed us.

"This will take time," Jace sighed.

Jim nodded, "We can't do anything though."

"Beside waiting..." Ryker added.

"Uh oh,"

We looked at Cassandra and saw her staring in the distance at something. Jace, Ryker and I thought that she was seeing ghosts but when we turned to where she was staring, Malcolm and his group were there.

Looks like he noticed me earlier as his eyes were fixed on me, a blank expression on his face and he was holding one of the drinks that were being served around.

"His group is fighting too," I heard Jim say.

I turned around, ignoring him.

One of the waiters came to us with some drinks, which didn't have alcohol in them. Only Jim grab one glass.

"Kyson's here." Cassandra suddenly said excitedly. I raised an eyebrow at her but she ignored me. I turned to the door and saw Kyson walking in with his group and Valentino.

Oh.

She was excited to see Val...

His group walked forward but Kyson and Val walked toward us. Kyson's eyes never left mine as he walked to us.

"Hi," The guys handshake each other while Cassandra and I nodded at them. Kyson casually stood by my side, his hand buried in his pocket. Again there was no emotion shown on his face.

Ryker and Jace turned to talk to the guys leaving Cassandra and me with Kyson and Val.

"How are you?" I asked Valentino.

"Still healing but I'm good." He replied before his eyes shift to Cassandra.

"And of course, you would choose to come to such a relaxing place while healing," Cassandra said sarcastically.

"What can I say, I got tempted." He shrugged innocently, a small smirk on his face. I glanced at Cassandra who was trying to hide her smile.

"By what?" I dare asked.

"Something," he replied briefly.

"More like someone." This time it was Kyson who spoke. Val reached to rub the back of his neck, ignoring Kyson's comment.

"It's starting," Jim informed us.

Everyone moved closer to the ring like a herd of buffalos. We didn't move as we could see clearly from where we were standing. The first one was a young muscled man, he climbed onto the ring not looking around much. He simply waits for his opponent to come.

"He's known as the lone wolf. For a week he has been killing every fight. He talks to no one, has no friends here..." Jim told us.

Interesting...

We watched his fight and not gonna lie, he impressed me. Each punch he threw showed the anger living inside him but his face look so calm that anyone would underestimate him.

"Should I worry?" I heard Kyson say in a low voice beside me so that only I could hear him.

I turned to him, "Huh?"

"I can't tell whether you are being passionate in the fight or at the Lone guy." He said an unreadable expression appearing on his face.

"It takes more than the looks to make me passionate about a guy," I told him.

The end of his lips curled slightly in a smirk.

"Hmm, like a kiss or two?" He joked making me roll my eyes.

"Will you ever let that go?" I asked referring to the 'make-out' from the rescue mission.

"No, it rarely happens that a girl demands me to make-"

Before he could finish his sentence, I elbowed him in his side. He let out a low chuckle which was barely noticeable with the scream around. I looked at the ring and Lone Wolf was killing this fight.

I slowly walked behind Cassandra to stand by Ryker. He saw me approaching him and turned side way to me, "Are you thinking about what I'm thinking?"

"If it involves this guy joining our mafia, yes," I stated.

"Great cause I found him amazing," Ryker commented.

"Yeah but it looks like it'll be tougher to make him accept our offer." I pointed out.

If this guy has been here for a week, I'm sure other mafia or gang approached him. However, he's still alone which means he rejected every offer. Hopefully, Ryker will be able to convince him.

Lone Wolf wins the match. He simply got off the ring, making his way to the back.

"Jace, come with me," Ryker called Jace.

Both of them walked to the back.

"Where are they going?" Jim asked as he stood beside me.

"Trying to get Lone Wolf as our recruit," I told him.

"I was hoping you both like him, he's really good," Jim commented.

"He is."

He made his way to our group while I walked back to stand beside Cassandra, who was busy talking with Valentino. I felt a finger hooked on the hem of my jean before I was pulled back to Kyson's side.

"Let those two lovebirds be alone." He spoke.

Lovebirds?

Well, he's right...

"Why do you always pull me by my jean?" I asked.

He shrugged, "No reason."

"Right."

The next fight started and it was good too. Then the third one started and midway through the fight, Ryker walked back out with Jace. They walked directly to me.

"Lone w-Ian, will think about it and will confirm with us tomorrow."
