Chapter 105
1 knew that if Lucien wanted, he could have easily killed Julie on the spot for challenging me. But she invoked the ancient law. There were council members sining around us. If Lucien had killed her after she invoked the ancient law, then I knew he would become extremely unpopular, not because be protected me, but because he didn’t respect the law of our ancestors.
I looked at Julie from across the garden Waller was with me, standing behind me with impatience. Lucien was standing along with other council members and the Elders right in front on a platform from where they could see us. Through the bond, I could feel his restlessness.
As soon as Tarian left, Julie hissed. “I was waiting for this opportunity, you imposter And she lunged first, fast and brutal I knew that she was a strong, trained wolf, but I knew me,
I dodged her, twisting fast, my hair whipping around me.. Julie let out a snarl and her claws came out. She swung them at my throat, but I moved back escaping the impact by a few inches, I didn’t give her the time to understand what happened and I moved, landing a sharp kick to her ribs. On impact, 1 heard a crack that echoed through the air. The audience gasped, which was swelling by the minute.
Julie staggered but she caught herself. Blood came out of her mouth. She seethed and wiped her mouth. “Not bad. Luna. But this is nothing. You aren’t as good as me!”
She came at me again, but this time she feinted right before twisting left. “You don’t learn, do you?” I blocked the first strike, but the next one hit my ribs. That something inside me raised its dark head. My hands curled into fists. I was going to rip Julie apart. I absorbed the pain, gritting my teeth. I shifted my weight as Julie prepared for another strike. She launched herself at me in hope to barrel in on me, but I sidestepped and she stumbled on the floor. This was the moment when Julie realized that she had messed up.
I smirked, and then I attacked. As if I was not thinking, my body moved fluidly with accurate strikes. I didn’t give a chance for Julie to recover. I dominated the fight. Julie’s defense crumbled bit by bit as I forced her back, step by step. I didn’t know when my claws had come out until I saw claw marks raked across Julie’s arms, belly and thighs. Her breath tuned ragged as surprise flickered in her eyes,
When she attacked me again, I could sense she was tired. She staggered in front of me. “Is this really all you’ve got?” I hissed. “You said you
ou will kill
me! Come on, traitor!”
Julie snarled. “I’ll kill you. And when you’re dead, Alpha Lucien
en will weaken. It would be so easy to kill him. Guess what? There are wolves here who will take him down immediately like a mutt!” she spat, her eyes filled with hatred.
The whole place went still. My entire body locked up as my heart hammered in my chest. How could she even think of killing my mate? My mate! A shiver ran down my spine and I was filled with so much loathe for her that something inside me snapped. The air shifted. A guttural growl ripped. from my throat. It was deeper and feral. Something I had never experienced. The air around me trembled. It felt like Sienna was taking over. And 1 allowed her to come out without thinking.
There was a flash of light.
Bones cracked and reshaped.
Power ruptured through me
Fur rippled
A scream ripped from my throat.
And then Sienna broke out from my skin.
She let out a snarl, I didn’t know how, but Sienna appeared taller than before. I looked at my paw. It was covered with silvery white fur. I heard gasps from all around. Her presence felt commanding, raw and untamed.
Sienna looked at Julie, who had paled. Her blood drained from her face as she scrambled back. Sienna growled again in a menacing way, challenging Julie, commanding her to shift Julie tried to shift, feeling Sienna’s command to her bones, but she couldn’t fully shift.
With a growl, Sienna pounced. Julie wasn’t even able to put her hands up in defense. She let out a blood–curdling scream when Sienna’s claws tore into her. Blood splattered on the ground, julie screamed again, trying to run away, but Sienna showed no mercy. She was ruthless and lethal. She lunged at Julie, pinning her beneath her paw. Her fangs gleamed and in a flash of a second, she clamped them down on Julie’s throat, snarling
“Merry—” julie choked.
But Sienna clamped her tight, in no mood to spare the traitor. There was a sickening crack and then Julie’s body went limp.
Sienna left her and lifted her head to look at her mate with her muzzle stained red. Silvery eyes met the dark ones. Lucien looked at me with so much pride that he shifted into his wolf, and leaped in the air to join Sarnnu.
The two of us stood tall in front of all who were present. He licked Sienna, purring Sienna licked him back. The crowd erupted all around them “Alpha Loma!”
649 AM
Chapter 105
People cheered.
“Goddess, she is so beautiful!”
“So graceful!”
“Our Luna has a wolf!”
“Look at her fur! Silvery, shimmering like liquid moonlight!”
Remus came to stand close to Sienna, his head held high in pride.
Tarian must have heard what Julie said about some wolves that were present in the audience, ready to kill Lucien. He ordered the warriors to strip search every wolf out there and then interrogate them.
Remus nudged Sienna with his muzzle to walk inside, but she wanted to go for a run. With one last look at Julie who was lying dead in a pool of blood, she leaped toward the forest surrounding the pack. She didn’t feel any remorse for the traitor. Instead, she felt victorious. With Julie gone. she felt like a weight had lifted off her mind.
Remus followed her and when Tarian tried to come as well. Remus stopped him. The two of us ran toward the forest because I knew that Sienna wanted to be with her mate alone in her wolf form. This was the first time she had shown herself to him.
