Sara and the Conqueror
A wave of bitter disappointment washed through me, but it was cut short when a sharp, bone-rattling roar pierced through the crowd.
There was no mistaking that sound. It wasn't the howl of a loyalist; it was the roar of a predator entering the cage. It was Alpha Rune.
I had planned for this moment with precision. The truth, as much as it galled me to admit it, was that Alpha Rune was objectively one of the strongest Alphas in existence. I knew, based on our previous encounter in the dungeons, that I couldn't defeat him in a fair, one-on-one combat—not while he was at full strength.
