THE LYCAN KING’S CLAIM
It was Aldric was letting out a huge wave of anger all at once and all centered at that vampire.
His blood soon sprayed across the floor, even some droplets hitting my cheek, but I couldn’t even flinch.
I was so frozen with breath stuck in my throat, watching the Aldric, I thought I knew unravel himself completely to protect me.
The vampire made one final, desperate snarl. Aldric’s hand shot through its chest and then he ripped the heart out in a savage and instinctive motion.
The body collapsed instantly, lifeless and limp on the ground.
Aldric dropped the heart beside it, his chest rising and falling, his breath heavy.
