Bonded To The Alpha God of War
The beast bolted with impossible speed.
Aliyah was faster. She dropped from branch to branch, her body spinning through the air. In one lethal move, she lunged and caught the beast’s hair by the side. It shrieked, thrashing, but she held firm. Her knife plunged deep, again and again, until its strength faltered. With one final stroke, she slit its throat. Blood sprayed hot against her skin.
The beast dissolved, leaving behind a glowing small fang. She picked it up without pause and slipped into the shadows of the forest, her eyes already searching for the path out of the forest. She was the third to return.
