Alphas Ascendance

Run Faster Rosie!

The sickening sound of flesh being torn apart filled the air, wide hazel eyes watched in horror as the wolf tore apart the very man they had always looked at with every bit of love in her heart.

The beast raised its blooded muzzle and snarled in Rosie’s direction. With a shriek of terror she instinctively turned to her heel, ignoring the stones bruising her bare feet, and broke into a run.

She could hear the paws of wolves padding on the earth like the thud, thud, thud of a loud drum. The sound of her heart was echoing in her ears like a beat, beat, beat.

“Lucas would’ve loved you so much,” she whispered softly, tears pricking her eyes.

A knock on the door of the little room snapped her out of her thoughts. A woman in her late twenties came inside.

“Rosie, Luna would like to see you” she said gently “come along, dear.”

“Yes, let's go.” Rosie nodded at the omega Lycan
