WANTED BY THE LYCAN KING
The Alpha has spoken like a verdict.
My wolf makes one last small hope of a sound. Mate, she says, soft. I shut my eyes.
"I accept," I say. The words scrape. "I, Maera of Winterridge, accept the rejection of Alpha Kael Draven."
Pain comes like a pull on every cord that holds me. My chest seizes. Something tears. It starts low, hands grabbing at my ribs, then rips up and through. I gasp and the sound hits the ceiling and falls back. My knees fold. The guards let me go enough that I do not smash my face. The floor is stone, cool through thin soles. I curl around the pain because that is the only position that makes sense.
