The only time I ever remembered my heart racing was when I first saw Kai. Not even when Astra had died. Astra's death made my heart stop, not race.
Yet, it felt the same way now as claws were inches from opening up my throat. My eyes went wide with fear. For a minute, I could only feel my back cold against the wall, my head spinning at every possibility of who. My father? He was petty and had a temper for all he went on and on about grace of being Silver wolves, but to kill his own daughter? That would be a new low for him.
My attacker's face was revealed to me. Regulus. "You!?" I managed to breathe out, even with how precarious the situation was. What?
'Let me at him! Let me at him, Chloe!'
I was too shocked. My husband's Gamma? "Why?" I just fucking arrived! Or was this some tradition? A power test? I looked around the sparsely decorated room, waiting for people to come out. It just didn't make sense.
