Two days later, Lyric pulls me aside after dinner.
"You need to see something. Understand what you're walking into if the Circle forces a fight."
"The fight club?"
"Yeah. Tonight. Underground. I'll take you."
I agree. Better to know what I'm facing than go in blind.
At midnight, Lyric leads me through a series of passages I didn't know existed.
"How do you know about all this?" I ask.
"I explore. Map things. It's what I do." She grins. "Plus, being a tech genius means I can hack into any security system and see where the cameras don't point. The faculty knows about the fight club. They just choose not to interfere."
"Why?"
"Because wolves need to fight. It's instinct. Better to let us do it in a controlled environment than have violence break out randomly across campus.
