My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian (Sera and Fenris) novel Chapter 52

Sera

The cartilage in my nose shattered. The crunch was sickening. Blood sprayed backward, hitting the dirt behind me.

I fell flat on my back. My head bounced against the frozen earth. I went completely blind for two seconds. The pain in my face was absolute. It radiated deep into my teeth and up into my skull. I was suffocating on my own blood. It poured down the back of my throat, thick and metallic.

Taya dropped down on top of me. She pinned my arms to the ground with her heavy knees. She sat squarely on my chest with her massive ass, crushing my lungs.

She raised her right fist high into the cold air.

"This is an execution!"

The voice tore through the roaring crowd. It was Lord Torin.

I could barely hear him through the ringing in my ears. I turned my head slightly, spitting blood out of my mouth so I wouldn't choke.

Torin stood at the edge of the ring. He was pointing a shaking finger at Fenris. My mother stood right behind Torin. She was gripping the sides of her head, screaming hysterically. Her eyes were wide with pure terror.

"Alpha Volkov, I demand you stop this match!" Torin yelled. He stepped closer to Fenris. "She is dying in the dirt! You are letting a Valdris princess be slaughtered!"

Fenris did not look at Torin. He kept his grey eyes locked entirely on me. He stood perfectly still, a massive statue of fur and leather.

"She is an Ironmaw mate," Fenris said. His voice was flat. It easily cut through the noise of the yard. "She fights."

"She is bleeding to death!" my mother shrieked. She tried to run into the ring, but two Ironmaw guards grabbed her arms immediately. They held her back. She kicked and sobbed. "Fenris, please! Stop it! I beg you!"

Fenris slowly turned his head. He looked down at my mother. His face was devoid of any emotion.
