Chapter Six

CHAPTER SIX

I stand over Romulus' dead body.

I can't believe I did it. I can't believe he is dead. That I killed him.

I killed the Alpha. The most powerful wolf in the pack.

I am a killer. A killer. A killer.

The bloody dagger is still in my shaking hand. There are splodges of blood all over me.

I have to get out of here.

Then I remember the guards outside the door.

Surely they heard the commotion? Are they used to such terrible noises coming from Romulus' room?

I shudder at the thought.

I have to get past them somehow.

I have to free the girl in the jail.

I have to get free.

I open the door.

The guards are standing outside the chamber. I still have the knife but I am not strong enough to fight them. I cannot over power them and I do not want to kill them. I do not want anymore blood on my hands.

Just then, the guards spot me. I see their confusion. I see their uncertainty.

"Hey!" the first one shouts.
