Kai's POV
Damon is hyperventilating throughout the entire day and it's driving me insane. He's not concentrating on anything, not talking to anyone, just walking around like a ghost with this dead look in his eyes. I can feel his pain through our pack bond, feel the way his wolf is clawing at him from the inside, demanding he go after our mate.
We're supposed to play today, a big game against one of our weakest rival teams, and normally we'd destroy them without even trying. But today everything goes wrong from the first whistle.
Damon misses every pass, skates right past the puck like he doesn't even see it. River tries to cover for him but it's not enough.
Zane scores once but it doesn't matter because their team scores four times. We lose badly, embarrassingly, and the crowd boos
