AUTHOR’S POV
Alexsey was the first to enter the bedroom, followed by Marina, and they both came to a complete stop. Horror slammed into them so hard it stole the air from Marina’s lungs.
One of the staff lay sprawled across the floor with blood everywhere… so much blood it soaked into the carpet and streaked the walls. Beside her stood Akari’s wolf, the pup just as slick with red, its chest heaving and eyes wild.
It was immediately clear what had happened. And Marina whispered in horror as her eyes flew to the bed where Akari sat terrifyingly still, his hands resting limply in his lap.
His eyes looked dazed, as if he were somewhere far away, and Marina rushed to him. The moment she reached the bed, the wolf sprang in a blur of motion and vanished straight into Akari’s chest.
