The Alpha King's Hated Mate
I swear if I find out who it is, I'll kill the person.
But first—I had to survive.
With one fluid, practiced motion, I lunged.
The snake struck.
But I was faster.
My hand shot forward, wrapping around its neck just below its head, cutting off its lunge mid-air. It writhed and hissed violently, its scaled body coiling around my arm, trying to find leverage, to crush me, bite me, kill me.
But I held on tight.
"Not so fast, you bastard," I growled under my breath.
