Kaelos' POV
*****
The moments after I spotted the incoming bolt of light, for an odd reason, I didn't think about my safety. I didn't even think about the safety of my guests or the implications of them being killed in my territory.
No, those were only background thoughts while one particular one stood out in my head like a neon sign.
HER.
I stretched my hand to Odessa, about to move her out of the bolt's way but everything happened so far. I wasn't sure I could make it on time.
Until...
"Argh!"
A loud groan sounded, followed by a thud. I squinted my eyes, turning my gaze to the source of the sound.
My eyes widened when I saw Marcellus lying face first on the cold marble floor with an arrow with dark purple energy surrounding it sticking to his back.
An arrow with dark purple energy? That could only mean one thing…
"Witch..." Alpha King Leonardo spoke up just then, getting up from his seat and placing himself in front of his wife.
