Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Nine

KAIDA'S POV

A batch of seven soldiers stepped into the room-likely the first to respond since they'd been nearby. The noise must have drawn them in.

We could easily take them on, but it wouldn't be long before more came-we didn't have time to waste.

"Walk away while you still can." I warned.

I hadn't come here for them. They didn't kill my parents. They were just soldiers- men with families, lives outside this castle. Following orders. Doing their jobs. But of course, my warning, didn't shake them. Why would it? They were soldiers- trained to stand their ground, trained to die if necessary.

One glance at Alexander told me he was thinking exactly what I was. He might've earned his name as a ruthless alpha, but he never took a life without cause.

"Who are you?" one of the soldiers, who seemed to be in the lead, demanded, his hand gripping his sword.
