[ New World - Bloodfang Pack – Alpha's Quarters ]
"Damn the Moon! I was such a fucking fool!"
The sound of shattering wood split the stale air.
A heavy vase…black stone carved with the crest of Bloodfang…slammed against the floor and burst into jagged shards. Water spilled, pooling crimson under the dim indoor light as petals of crushed lilies floated out like drowned corpses.
Alpha Velor stood heaving above the ruin, his chest contracting and expanding visibly with each ragged breath.
His pupils glowed a feral red, bleeding across the whites of his eyes until they looked carved from blood itself. His fists trembled at his sides, veins crawling across his skin like thick ropes.
A low growl pulsed from his throat…like dangerous thunder just before it tears the sky apart.
Behind him, Serra and Marra stood stiff.
Their shoulders nearly brushed. Both of them shook, their bodies taut with fear, each elbowing the other subtly as if urging the other person to speak first.
