Chapter 92: Blood Oath

POV: Alpha Dorian Graves

The arrow whizzed past my ear as I ducked behind a tree. Too close. Artemis land was proving as welcoming as I'd expected.

"Hold your fire!" I shouted. "I come to issue a formal challenge!"

The trees went quiet. I stepped into the open with my hands raised, showing I was alone. Five wolf guards surrounded me, arrows pointed at my heart.

"Alpha Dorian Graves," said the lead guard, not lowering his bow. "You're trespassing."

I flashed my red Alpha eyes. "I'm here to see Elias. Now."

"Turn around and leave before—"

I moved faster than they could track, grabbing the lead guard's bow and snapping it in half. The others tensed, but I stayed calm.

"Tell Elias that I'm waiting. Unless he's afraid to face me."

The guard spat at my feet but indicated to another to run ahead. "This way," he growled.
