Chapter 127. Warriors

Oscar POV

My adrenaline races through my veins as my paws drum against the ground, my eyes locked on the wolf who is about to attack one of the other warriors, a Royal Guard rookie like me who is too busy dealing with the other enemy in front of him to notice he’s being flanked.

The cool breeze licks at my fur as I make a final leap toward the enemy, my claws extended and my fangs aiming for his neck. Luckily, he’s so convinced he’s being sneaky that he hasn’t noticed me, and I knock him over as I land on him, my fangs quickly sinking into his carotid artery.

It’s not my first kill, not by a long shot, but I’m still not used to the coppery taste of blood on my tongue. I only keep my teeth in long enough to do the job before releasing and jumping back, watching the enemy wolf’s blood pool on the grass beneath him.
