As I fought to catch my breath and make sense of all of this, Lancel spoke up

and called out to the man.

“Release the Alpha King’s wife,” he pleaded carefully, and he raised his hands as if in surrender. “We can reach an understanding, but only if you let her go-”

“An understanding?” the man scoffed, and he shook his head slowly as he held tightly onto Adalyn. “There’s nothing to understand. There’s no way you’re going to handle this peacefully. I know I’m dead anyway, so I may as well just take her with

me.”

He gripped onto her even tighter still and dug his claws further into her arm. Adalyn whimpered as trails of blood poured down her skin. My eyes welled up with

tears before I could stop them. This was cruel.

As much as I detested Adalyn, she didn’t deserve this.

you.”

He leaned in close and pressed his lips against Adalyn’s neck. She cried out in disgust at the vulgar display, but as she tried to shift her body away and break free,

the man’s claws dug into her neck. Blood began to spill onto her collarbone and my stomach turned a little at the sight.
