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
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

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.
His Lycans lunged, madness in their eyes, tearing through everything in sight.The High Priestess turned to Rael, her voice hoarse. “Are you ready?”Rael nodded. “Do it. Now.”He no longer cared what the Wraithstone would do to him.At the beginning of his reign, when the high priestess had told him there would come a time he would have to use the power of the stone to save his people he hadn't believed it, he had told her it was one of those prophesies that would never come true.She had laughed and told him if it came down to it, that he should never hesitate, because it would either be at the cost of
The High Priestess stood at the foot of the hill that led to the Treasure Palace, the gust of wind blowing dust into her eyes. Steven stood by her side, clutching the leather bag she had given him, filled with bottles and potions, most of which he couldn’t even name.“The Alpha won’t die... right?” Steven asked, his voice laced with fear, the question had been gnawing at him since they arrived. He didn't want to think of the chaos if the Alpha died. Surely, there would be a lot of bloodshed, the grandmaster was a lover of wars, Riverside would be reduced to the ground if anything happened to his son. It wans't as though he loved his son that much, no. It was just to assert authority.And surely, many of Bloodmoon's Lycans would be
