"You say Omegas can't be great, that they can't be boxers," Devon gets in my face, my anger rising with his own rising voice, "Yet after everything I've done to win, to persevere through all of this torment, to prove myself to everyone...! You still are the one fight that drives me crazy!"
I am shoved back, but I rush back at him and shove right back. Grabbing the cuff of his shirt, I pull him down towards my face as we glare into one another's eyes.

"I already know people like you-."
"You don't know anything!" He shouts now, taking me aback because he's never actually shouted before.
Pushing me away again, we just looked at each other. His eyes closing tightly as he sighed in frustration...𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘦. I found myself thinking, only to see his eyes set back onto me firmly.
"You...don't even know the other half of me. You don't know me at all."
