"How can that be?" one of the Alphas growled angrily, his eyes flashing blood-red as he stared at Gwen.
"Alpha?" Gwen lifted her hands in surrender, voice shaking. "I'm not..."
"So you sent the wrong signal to deceive us?" Another snarled from the side cutting her mid sentence. "Did he send you? Where is he? How dare you play with our intelligence?"
Gwen's body trembled violently. Her heart hammered against her ribs as she stared at the circle of lethal predators surrounding her. She had only wanted to escape Lucien. Instead, she had fallen straight into the claws of creatures far worse.
"No, no, I would never..." Before she could finish, one of the Alphas lunged. His claws ripped through her chest in a single brutal swipe. Gwen's scream died in a wet gurgle as her body collapsed. Blood sprayed across the marble floor, dripping from the killer's hands.
