Chapter 16 - Sacrifice Your Light

Leo’s POV

“Is that all you came to say?” I growled angrily at Dina, bored out of my mind. I thought they had come for a battle.

“This is my one and only last offer, Alpha, you should reconsider,” she sneered with a vicious laugh.

Dina’s words clung to me like a curse on their own, the shadows inside me latching onto them, twisting them into something darker. I couldn’t shake them—‘sacrifice your light’. My pulse thundered in my ears as I stalked out of the great hall, leaving Dina’s smug expression behind.

Zane followed me, his boots echoing on the stone floor as he kept pace. “Alpha,” he started, his voice calm but firm.

“Don’t.” My tone was sharp, final, but I knew Zane too well to think he’d stop.

He ignored my warning. “If she knows about this ‘light,’ we need to address it. Who or what is she talking about?”
