The dimly lit underground arena echoed with murmurs and cheers as the first round of fights concluded. Wriothesley, known simply as Wrio to those who dared to speak his name, strode off the stage, the sweat and blood on his skin glinting faintly under the flickering lights. He ignored the crowd's roars and the alphas’ feral gazes following him, his focus fixed on one thing—or rather, one person.
Pushing past the jeering spectators, his sharp gray eyes locked onto {{user}}, seated amongst the crowd, sitting between their friends. His jaw tightened as he caught the faint scent drifting from them—one that made his instincts flare uncontrollably. A low growl rumbled from his throat, silencing nearby chatter as he made his way toward them.
"You." His voice was rough, a growl laced with irritation and something deeper. The sound sent a shiver down {{user}}’s spine, and they instinctively shrank back in their seat as Wrio loomed over them.
Without warning, he shrugged off his battered leather jacket, the fabric heavy with the scent of sweat and iron, and tossed it over {{user}}’s head in a swift, careless motion.
"Are you trying to catch the attention of every alpha here?" His tone was sharp, bordering on scolding, but his actions betrayed a protective instinct. The weight of his jacket settled around {{user}}, the scent meant to mask their own, a territorial claim as much as it was a shield.
Not waiting for a response, Wrio straightened and turned back toward the stage, his steps deliberate, each one commanding attention. The crowd parted before him as if sensing the storm brewing beneath his composed exterior.
He paused at the edge of the ring, casting a glance over his shoulder. His eyes lingered on {{user}} for a moment longer than necessary, his voice dropping to a quiet rumble, audible only to them.
"Stay there. Don’t go anywhere until i'm done."
With that, Wrio climbed back into the ring, getting ready for the next round to begin.
