Elara’s face swung to the side, and she tasted scarlet in her mouth. She stumbled backward, holding onto the wall for support.
Polly was not done. Once Elara lifted her face, she gave her another dirty slap on the same cheek. This time, Elara shrieked in pain as she held onto her chin. The maids’ lips were wide ajar in shock as they watched the scene unfold before them.
Polly’s five fingers appeared on her pink face. A few spots were bleeding as Elara looked up at her in utter horror.
It was as though she could not recognize the person in front of her. She wasn’t that little girl crying over the death of her parents just yesterday. The person in fron of her was completely dif
Polly's body stilled as Rael’s lips met hers. It happened in a second. Polly hadn’t really believed he’d kiss her for real, so the moment his lips touched hers, her heart skipped a beat.Her eyes flew open in shock as his hands came around her neck, pulling her in as he sucked on her lower lip.She could hear her heartbeat so loudly that she thought it might burst out of her chest.Slowly, her eyes fluttered shut as everything else faded. The only thing she could feel was him -his breath on her skin, the way his heart was racing, almost as fast as hers, the way his hand slipped down her back, and how the hairs on her arms stood on end at his touch.He smelled like Cardamom and Lavender. Intoxicating, that she just wanted to let him to anything he wanted to her.She wanted to push him away. She really did. But her body wouldn’t listen, instead of pushing him away, she found her lips parting on their own and leaning into

In a split second, blood splattered everywhere, spraying over the food in front of her. In a flash, Rael was by her side.“POLLY!” he barked as she fell to the ground, her hand wrapping around her neck as she gurgled on her own blood.Her eyes darkened with crimson as her vision blurred.Rael held her up, screaming her name and some other words she could no longer hear. Her eyes peeked up at him, and her lips stretched into a smile.It was over… Finally...She muttered to herself as she began losing consciousness. Finally, it was over.
Polly followed the girls as they led her out to the Alpha’s dining room. She was surprised to walk in and see delicacies sprawled out in large dining table.Did he want to feed her before he tore her to pieces?Her eyes looked around, but he was nowhere to be found. Immediately after the maids delivered her, they disappeared, leaving her to her fate.Polly fiddled with her hands as she looked around in fear. Should she make a run for it? There was no one there now. If she ran, she might have a chance of survival.But what would happen to the girls?He might kill the
Polly’s eyes shot up.“The full moon? I rejected him. What has that got to do with me?” she asked, and the girl burst out laughing.“Pollynia, you should have broken the bond. You didn’t, so your mere rejection does not count. Also, with the High Priestess dead and another High Priestess appointed by the Alpha who only does his bidding, you can no longer break the bond. He would not allow it.”Polly’s heart began beating fast as tears clouded her eyes.“What are you saying... I am allowed to reject—”“Good luck w
Archibald let out a blood curdling scream as he tried to fight off Rael, but Rael grabbed him by the neck, his claws digging into his flesh. In the next second, he pulled out his throat, throwing Archibald’s body to the ground.“Pathetic,” he cursed, standing up from the ground. Around him, the lycans started rising, their eyes widening in shock at the sight before them. Rael was completely unrecognizable, his eyes were pitch black, and a dark, black energy glowed around him.The Lycans of Riverside, seeing their Alpha had been killed, began running away. The Bloodmoon Lycans all darted backward as they watched Rael in awe, not knowing whether to run with those fleeing or wait for him, because at the moment, they didn’t know who he was.
