The Alpha's Omega
My tongue flicks over my teeth as I steady my breath, turning toward the timer.
3.5 seconds.
A whisper slithers through my mind, sharp as a blade. Not good enough. Again! My father's voice, venomous and unforgiving.
Fury ignites in my chest. I launch. Claws slash. Canines tear. My jaws lock onto the mannequin's throat, wrenching, ripping. My vision narrows—red, black, white, red, black—snap! Bones shatter. Flesh yields once again. A sickening squelch echoes through the empty room as the severed head sails through the air, slamming into the farthest wall with a wet thud.
