Season3 Runaway Breeder of the Dark King

Fire. Smoke. Howls of desperation.

Thousands of bodies were under me, and I could sense no hope in the air.

And there he was, standing on top of the pile of corpses, coated in blood.

His body was as still as a statue; his face was emotionless, almost no different than those of the dead on the ground below him.

Then he saw me.

I watched light gather in his dark eyes and life seemed to return to him. Slowly, his lips parted into a stunning smile that outshined the starry night sky.

He reached out his hand. “Come to me,” he whispered.

My legs moved toward him as if they had a will of their own.

But I was well aware that every step I took was one step closer to my own eternal death.

“You seem awfully cheerful for someone who just woke up.” Brook grabbed my outfit for me. “But let’s hurry. We can’t be late!”

“Thank Goddess you’re here!” I barely had time to yawn before I jumped up and started shoving myself into my clothes.

We had arrived at the royal palace late last night. I was still exhausted from traveling, and looking around, I could tell that I wasn’t the only one who felt this way.

Eighty of us, all girls between the ages of twenty to twenty one from different packs throughout the country, had been summoned and rushed to the royal palace within the past three days.

The order said we’d be there to serve the royal court and would return to our packs with glory when we had fulfilled our duties.

The royal court praised us for our diligence and commitment to the kingdom, but we all knew that the only reason we were here was because we had no choice.

It was the only way to keep our packs alive.

No one would voluntarily come to the palace. Alpha King Sebastian Crimson wasn’t known for being kind, and his favorite son, Prince Theo, was even more dangerous and ruthless than his father.

But regardless of their fearful reputations, they were both worshiped. The royal bloodline descended from the Dark Moon, and their power to reign was blessed by the Moon Goddess herself.

“I was honestly jealous that you were able to fall asleep. I’ve been worrying the whole night,” said Brook as we followed the head maid down the hall.

Sleep was never difficult for me; I’d been trained since I was young to seize every opportunity to rest, ensuring that I was physically and mentally prepared to handle anything unexpected that came my way.

“Worrying won’t help.” I gave her a small grin. “The more concerning the situation, the more important it is to have a well-rested mind.”

“Easier said than d-” Brook didn’t finish her sentence as she gasped, “What is this place?!”

I followed her gaze and immediately understood her fear.

We were in a large, dimly lit room, with most of the space still hidden in darkness.

All we could see in front of us was a huge painting of a wolf with a lifeless forest behind him; a menacing look covered its face as blood dripped from his teeth.

The shadowy light in the room made the bloody wolf look even more vivid, as if it would jump out of the wall at any moment to claim us as its prey.

A chill went down my spine, and all I wanted to do was to run for my life… yet the painting seemed to possess some sort of power that drew me in. I couldn’t look away.

Then my gaze turned to the wolf’s eyes; they were the most breathtaking I’d ever seen on any creature. However, they were cold, bloodthirsty, and yet… filled with pain.

“Wait here, ladies,” the head maid said, and then, giving a terse bow, she headed out a side door, leaving all eighty of us

standing in the middle of the enormous, frightening room.

We were surrounded by similar works of art; the eerie atmosphere made us feel like we were lambs waiting to be slaughtered and sacrificed.

I’d taken a deep breath and pulled my eyes away from the painting when I noticed that some girls had started to sob, and others had nearly passed out and had to be caught by those standing next to them.

I almost choked at her words. On our train ride to the royal palace, Brook and I had became good friends. Her father was the Alpha of Elmorn pack.

While I agreed with her to an extent, I wasn’t about to draw attention to myself like that. Our fates were in the hands of the royals, and I didn’t come from a powerful pack like hers, which even the Alpha King would think twice before challenging.

“What the fuck are you so happy about?” Sophia pointed at me; her eyes narrowed as if my grin was a direct insult to her
