Savannah charged at him, and this time she was too fast for Bjorn to detect. That’s when she gave him another sla.sh of the divine dagger over his ch3st, making a clean cut.
“We are mates!” He said bitterly, covering the new wound with his fingers.
“No. We’re not!” She replied without hesitation. “I” ‘d rather d*ie than be your mate!”
The words hurt him more than the dagger did, but it wasn’t enough for her. He could see it in her eyes as she lifted her hand to try to K*ll him again. He’d had enough of this. She had to be contained!
He caught her wrist this time and overpowered her easily, bringing her closer.
“it’s over!” he roared, shaking her roughly, hoping that she’d return to her senses.
However, it only made the princess sneer.
“Bjorn, Bjorn, Bjorn,” she whispered and clicked her tongue. “| am just getting started!”
Savannah’s bones started snapping before his eyes at unnatural angles, and in a few moments, she was able to free her hand from his grasp. Bjorn stepped away, panting, and watching her turn into something else completely. He’d already seen this when he and Joran went to observe the battle with Castiel’s men a few months ago and also when Kai did it so effortlessly many times in the past.
It was harder for Savannah, he could see it, but she was determined to go through with this.
“Savvy, no!” Darius’ voice broke. He knew what it meant to her. Other royals rarely used their feral third forms because they were next to impossible to control. If they didn’t shift back soon enough, they risked never being able to revert back to their human form again.
The realisation that she was ready to d*ie or stay a beast for the rest of her life just to K*ll him, hurt him more deeply than the divine weapon ever could.
But the monster with glowing golden eyes already stood in front of him. Tall, mighty and deadly. And she was out for blood. His blood.
Savannah tried to keep control just like Kai had taught her. Lycans were primal beasts who were born at the beginning of times, but her Lycan wasn’t a separate ent*ity; It was a part of her. The part she was taught to suppress, the part she was taught to hide.
Today she was going to embrace it.
Bjorn looked like he was suffocating, but she decided just to end him immediately. However, when she took the first step, something invisible stopped her.
“Enough!” The Serpent said, looking as calm as if people weren’t K*lling each other left and right around them. He didn’t even spare the Lycanessa glance. He didn’t take part in the fighting. He just defended Bjorn once and that was it.
Wolves that came with Ash were dying. One of the bears almost grabbed Petra, who was still in her human form. From the corner of her eye, Savvy saw how Chloe shifted into a golden-coloured wolf, and Claude was quickly tying something around her neck.
She wanted so badly to K*ll Bjorn.. but… her friends were more important. If the Serpent didn’t plan to act, and it looked like he had something else in mind, then they had a chance to survive. If she would help them, of course.
Growling angrily, Savvy flipped the table and was down next to Petra and Ash in seconds, leaving Bjorn behind.
“Shift!” she commanded in the beast’s voice, and, luckily, they understood her instantly, following her lead.
Petra’s wolf was the smallest, but even in the middle of the chaos, Savvy paused, seeing her unusual colour. The wolf was black with soft pink waves of fur all over her in a beautiful pattern. No wonder everyone wanted her!
Someone like her was rare indeed!
Chloe was next to the group already and Claude shifted in one jump, joining them as well. Now all they had to do was get out of that castle.
if only it was that easy…
The bears were shifting too and Savvy let out a roar so loud that the ground underneath their feet shook.
She threw herself into the crowd and made a clean sweep, clearing the path for her friends. Thanks to that, they were able to leave the Hall behind them quickly, and now they were struggling to get through the corridors of the castle.
The white bears were already alerted via their mindlink and everyone they met tried to attack them, slow them down. Yet, Savvy knew she only had minutes left of sanity, feeling how she was starting to enjoy the scent of blood and chaos she was leaving behind her.
Each new K*ll was becoming easier and easier. Soon she wouldn’t care whom she was K*lling. By then, it would be best if her friends were as far away from this place – and her – as possible.
She made sure to knock down every candle on her way past. Luckily, they were a major part of the decoration for the marking ceremony, and there were plenty around the castle. She watched the flames catch onto the curtains and spread over them quickly. That should distract them.
A few wolves from Ash’s team were already missing, either K*lled or sacrificing themselves to delay the bears behind them.
Savvy led them in an unexpected direction and she could feel how distressed Petra, Ash, and the twins were.
Fortunately for all of them, she knew exactly what she was doing when she turned into a small passage and then paused by an old wooden bear statue. One movement and the walls before them opened, revealing a dark staircase. This was something Savannah learned from the maps the day before, and something none of the bears could have anticipated.
Using their night vision, they went all the way down while still in their wolf forms, and this got them several minutes to breathe.
There was just one thing left to do now Aspen.
Savannah had no illusions about that. She knew that they would understand that she would come back for the Gamma. He was one of Kai’s closest friends. She couldn’t simply leave him behind.
“Princess,” Ash shifted behind her back. “There is something I need to tell you-“
“Shift!” she growled and pushed the door that led to the square outside.
She was right as there was a thick circle of bears guarding Aspen and waiting for her.
Well, they wouldn’t have to wait anymore.
Channelling everything she had, Savannah threw herself at the enemy, tearing, snapping, breaking, destroying… At some point, she felt like she had found a rhythm to all this. It became a part of her and felt so natural that she scared herself.
However, she couldn’t stop. She had to do it. While there was still sanity left in her.
When she reached the wall where Aspen was chained, he didn’t look good. He was barely conscious and his gaze was unfocused. There were cuts and bruises all over him, and Savvy almost threw up when the smell coming from him hit her nostrils. What have they been doing to him?
She broke the silver chains with ease, although they were soaked in something that burned her fingers.
