Semua Bab The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster: Bab 131 - Bab 136

Isolde's POVI felt the dark power before I saw it. Like oil spreading through water, the Midnight Queen's spell tainted the air around the temple. From my hiding place behind a stone pillar, I watched in fear as the First Wolf's eyes turned black and he lunged for Zeke.No one had noticed me yet. That was good. I had been following them since they entered the mountain pass, staying hidden in the dark, waiting for the right moment."Not like this," I whispered, holding my staff. "Not after everything I've done to protect them."Sienna's fire erupted in a frantic attempt to save her brother, but it was too late. The huge wolf had Zeke in his jaws. Blood spilled across the stone floor.I moved without thinking. My hands flew through the air, drawing old symbols that glowed blue against the night.

I could smell it in the air—power, fear, and something else. Something dangerous.As I stepped into the opening, I saw them—Sienna lying unconscious on the ground with Ronan and Kieran beside her. The Midnight Queen and her forces had fled after their surprise attack, but I knew they wouldn't stay away for long."I see I missed all the excitement," I said, my voice cutting through the tight silence.Kieran's head snapped up, his eyes flashing not with their usual golden glow, but with normal human eyes. Interesting."Where's Zeke?" he asked."Safe," I answered, moving closer. "I've hidden him in an ancient vampire sanctuary. The Queen's magic can't reach him there."Relief crossed Ronan's face. "Is he still... himself?""More or less," I said w
