POV: Alpha Dorian Graves
The arrow whizzed past my ear as I ducked behind a tree. Too close. Artemis land was proving as welcoming as I'd expected.
"Hold your fire!" I shouted. "I come to issue a formal challenge!"
The trees went quiet. I stepped into the open with my hands raised, showing I was alone. Five wolf guards surrounded me, arrows pointed at my heart.
"Alpha Dorian Graves," said the lead guard, not lowering his bow. "You're trespassing."
I flashed my red Alpha eyes. "I'm here to see Elias. Now."
"Turn around and leave before—"
I moved faster than they could track, grabbing the lead guard's bow and snapping it in half. The others tensed, but I stayed calm.
"Tell Elias that I'm waiting. Unless he's afraid to face me."
The guard spat at my feet but indicated to another to run ahead. "This way," he growled.
