123 Pay The Price

That night, Dante walked Laina back to her room in the castle. They were having a great conversation when a sudden chill caught Dante's attention. But before he could even bring it up, a hand grabbed onto Laina's arm from behind. 

The claws dug into her arm, causing Laina to wince in pain. She was pulled away from Dante.

"Dante!" she called out to him, reaching her free hand towards him. 

"Laina!" Dante reached out his hand to grab onto hers. 

But he was too late, Laina was being pulled into a portal that opened up behind her. From where he stood, he could clearly see who it was. It was a werewolf, with golden chestnut brown fur. It was Kragen!

He had a crazed look in his eye and a wide grin on his face. Dante leaped forward, attempting to follow them through the portal. But it closed before he could do so. Just like that, Laina was taken right out of his grasp.
