Kaius in his black wolf form was magnificent and terrifying in equal measure. Larger than any normal wolf, larger even than my white

wolf form. His fur was midnight black, and his eyes-his eyes burned with a fury I’d never seen before. Not just anger. Something deeper.

Something primal.

Zane picked himself up from the rubble, his Blood Lord form flickering slightly from the impact. For the first time since transforming, he

looked genuinely surprised.

Then his surprise melted into that familiar cold amusement. “Well, well. The King himself graces us with his presence.” He dusted off his bloodstained cape theatrically. “Tell me, Your Majesty-is this an official declaration of war? Because I assure you, I’m quite prepared to

engage in inter-species conflict if necessary.”

Kaius didn’t respond. Didn’t growl. Didn’t make a sound. He simply began to circle Zane with predatory grace, his movements those of a

hunter sizing up prey.

Yes. Yes! Tear him apart!

Zane’s smile widened as he tracked Kaius’s movement. “Oh, I see. The strong, silent type in wolf form. He laughed. “Though I must say,

your timing is impeccable. Did you come racing here because you sensed your mate in danger? Or- His tone turned mocking. -because you were jealous of her extended stay in my territory?”

Kaius’s lip curled back in a silent snarl.

“Can’t blame you for being suspicious,” Zane continued, deliberately baiting. “After all, she and I have gotten quite… close during her time here. And you know how wolves are-always in heat, always looking for the next-

Kaius exploded into motion before Zane could finish the sentence.

The black wolf moved faster than I’d ever seen him move, his jaws aimed at Zane’s throat with lethal precision. The attack was pure rage given physical form, all strategy abandoned in favor of murderous intent.

But Zane, empowered by Evelyn’s absorbed bloodline, was ready. He sidestepped with supernatural speed, then caught Kaius by the scruff

and used his momentum to throw him aside.

“Good try!” Zane’s laugh was infuriating. “But I’ve fought wolves for centuries, Your Majesty. Your kind’s tactics are quite predictable.”

Kaius recovered in mid-air, twisting to land on his feet. He charged again, and again Zane deflected with minimal effort. The vampire was

toying with him, just as he’d toyed with me.

“This is pointless, you know,” Zane called out, dodging another attack. “You can’t hurt me in wolf form. The magic I absorbed makes me nearly immune to your kind’s abilities. You’re just exhausting yourself.”

Els face remained wolf-like but more pronounced, more powerful. His jaw could crush skulls. His fangs were as long as daggers. Black fur covered his entire body, rippling over muscles that seemed carved from granite.

A Lycan. The ultimate predator form that few Alphas could achieve. Half-man, half-wolf, combining the best attributes of both.

The transformation seemed to take forever and no time at all. When it was complete, Kaius stood there in all his tenible glory, radiating

power that made the air itself feel heavy.

Came’s mouth had fallen open in genuine shock. For several seconds, he simply stared.

Then, slowly, his surprise transformed into something else. His lips curved into a smile–but this one wasn’t mocking or confident. This

one was the smile of someone who’d just realized the game had become genuinely interesting.

“Oh,” Zane breathed, his vampire fangs extending fully as his Blood Lord aura intensified to match the challenge. “So the wolf king has

teeth after all.”
