Chapter 8. The Young Alpha Needs to Control His Temper

Lotus’s POV

I look up and see Levi staring down at me. I can see the anger in his eyes from here, and it occurs to me that I am probably better off dead. Even though the thought of ending my life has entered my mind many times throughout my life, I never considered taking action until this moment.

I let one hand slip and then the other. For a moment, I feel weightless, but then the reality of what I have done rushes to the forefront of my mind. My arms wave against the wind recklessly, but I am falling too fast to try and grab the sides of the palace again. Closing my eyes, I wait for the hit to the ground and pray to whatever gods are listening that my death is quick.

Before I hit the ground, strong arms are wrapped around me. I open my eyes long enough to see massive claws digging into the bricks beside me. A snarl grumbles against my neck, and I shake with fear. I know Levi has let his lycan come forward. They only do that when they are ready to kill.
