Bound by blood and moonlight
Just power a suffocating wave of it that hit like a storm.
My head snapped up, instinct overriding fear.
And there he was.
The King.
Massive. Taller than any man I’d ever seen. Broad-shouldered and draped in black armor with faint red lines that seems to move, like they were alive. His hair was ink-dark, swept back to reveal a face carved from shadow and wrath. And his eyes—
Gold.
Fully, terrifyingly gold.
The wolf was at the surface.
Every muscle in my body screamed to look away, but I couldn’t. Because those eyes, those beautiful eyes, were trained on me.
