Chapter 27: Run

Kai shoved Nora away, just as the crowd began to realize the alpha's implication.

"Get them!" the alpha yelled, and the crowd became a mob. They snatched at Nora's clothes, trying to grab her, but for once, her small size gave her an advantage. Kai, however, was not so lucky. People grabbed him, calling him a traitor, an accessory to murder, demanding he face justice.

"Kai!" Nora reached for him.

"Run!" he yelled. "Run! I'll be fine!"

"Silver him!" someone called out.

"No!" Nora cried as she watched a silver chain get wrapped around Kai's neck.

"Go!" he hissed. "Please."

Nora ran from the crowd, tears streaming down her eyes. She broke free of the crowd, covered in scratches and bits of her dress torn off.

Everything had gone so wrong. The Alpha had accused her of murder, and now her best friend was captured.
