The Alpha King's Insane Vow
My blood turned cold.
From the shadows ahead emerged a large, powerful cougar, muscles rippling beneath tawny fur. Its golden eyes locked onto mine.
I raised my hand instantly to summon my powers for defense. But there was nothing.
I tried again, summoning the familiar silver glow.
A sharp, burning pain flared at my wrist.I gasped, clutching the skin hard as if it'll make the pain stop.
The black mark seated on my wrist, the Mark of the Cursed, seared like heated iron. The pain disrupted my focus, scattering my magic before it could form.
