Sold To The Alpha Kings
We ride until the horses start to stumble, because stopping feels too much like dying.
They are not our horses, they are Harkon’s warhorses, big, scarred beasts that were bred to carry armored wolves into battle, and even they are blowing hard by the time we reach the tree line that marks the edge of Stoneclaw territory. Behind us, the city is just smoke now, a dark smudge against a darker sky, and the arena bell has finally stopped ringing, which is worse than when it was ringing, because silence means whoever is left alive has made a decision about what comes next.
