“After the war,” he started. “A prophecy
It told of the heir to Queen Victoria Luna’s throne. She was to be the dawn of an new era of wolf. Wolves that were unrestrained and had full control over themselves. The prophecy also spoke of her mate. He was a strong, High Alpha with the ability to siphon the heir’s power for himself ”
He grinned down at me and I felt my heart stutter. It was entirely unfriendly. “There are only five High Alpha packs. Thus, only five High Alpha heirs for the princess to chose from,” he paused and his grin grew wider. “I am one of them.”
Fear washed over me.
I was the princess the prophecy spoke about. I was the dawn of the wolves and yet here I was, wolfless and trapped under the grasp of a maniac who was trying to steal my power while also kill me. This was worse than I had imagined.
1 yanked back from Kairos’s grasp but he held on tighter. I yelped in pain as his palms squeezed my wrists with a force I’d never felt
*Ask me what I’m going to do with that power, clever girl,” he said as I tried to break free. I didn’t answer, focusing on getting out of his grasp. He leaned forwards to brush his lips against my ear. Against my judgement, a tingle rushed down my body to my toes.
“If you’re still wolfless at eighteen,” he whispered “T1l kill you.”
I gasped and yanked my head away from him. He laughed in response, his teeth pearly and his eyes the deep gold of a killer. “The princess will never chose you,” I spat back at him. “The Queen knows how fucked up you are. She’d never let you kill innocent wolfless
He slammed me back into the ground a third time. I felt the air escape from my lungs in a puff. I choked on my own spit as I felt my vision come in and out of focus. He was so strong. I needed to get out now. I pretended to go limp in Kairo’s arms.
Slowly, his grip lessened. Then, I felt him sit back on his heels. I took that as my cue and kicked my foot as hard as possible into his groin.
He grunted and staggered backwards, glaring at me with his deep gold eyes. I pushed myself as fast I could manage and took off. I flew through the forest at breakneck speed. I don’t know how I was doing it. I felt leaves and trees lodge themselves in my arms and tug my skin open. But I didn’t care. I couldn’t care.
Once again, I pushed my legs to their brink. Finally, I emerged from the woods in front of my dorm. I could’ve cried in that moment. I ran up to the door and tugged. As I leaned back, the world started spinning Slowly, the colors of the dorm turned to darkness
I landed on the ground with a thud. I blinked a few times to try and get myself to stand up. Then I felt arms gently wrap around me and a few muffled screams
And once again, I was back in the silent darkness.
