23: 23/kiss my feet!!
23: 23/kiss my feet!!
Chapter 23 Inside Caden’s mind, **Volcano** raged with dark, violent thrill: *(Listen to their screams, Caden!…
And look at her!
She isn’t turning away, nor is a single eyelid flinching!
This auburn human is enjoying every single note of this symphony of pain!…
She is far more dangerous than we thought!)* Caden halted in the middle of the dust-choked ring.
He shook out his hand, stepping cold-bloodedly on the back of the first male, who was suspended between agonizing screams and fading consciousness.
Then he turned his torso fully toward Roxy.
She stood just a few paces away, hands clasped behind her back in a posture of unshakeable, icy elegance.
A dark, sarcastic smile stretched across her pink lips while her gray eyes reflected the two males breaking beneath the Alpha’s boots.
Caden cocked his head, his heavy chest heaving in the cool air.
His dry, gravelly rasp cut through the fading groans: “Does this satisfy your ego, human…” He took a step toward her, his green eyes burning.
“…or does your show of pain still need more?” Roxy tilted her head with icy composure.
Without turning her body completely toward his burning emerald glare, she took smooth, confident steps across the dirt.
She stopped directly in front of the writhing male who was groaning in agony over his broken leg, caked in sweat and dirt.
She bent her torso down with slow, sharp elegance.
Before he could process her movement, her slender hand plunged deep into his hair.
She locked her fingers in a vice-like grip and yanked his head back with ruthless force, forcing his tear-streaked, terror-filled face to look directly into her icy gaze.
Her noble features leaned in close to his ear.
Her warm, velvety voice slipped out in a low, bone-dry whisper meant for his ears alone: “I will grant you relief from this torment…” She tightened her grip on his scalp, her breath brushing his ear.
“…if you crawl and kiss my feet.” The male’s entire body went rigid.
His eyes blew wide in shock, terror, and soul-crushing humiliation as he choked on his tears beneath the venomous spell of her gray eyes.
Two paces away, Caden stood watching the scene unfold with razor-sharp focus.
He couldn’t hear her whisper, but he saw the commanding posture of her body and the iron grip she held in the male’s hair.
Inside his mind, **Volcano** bellowed in absolute awe and dark exhilaration: *(Look at her, Caden!…
She isn’t satisfied with just using our raw power to humiliate them she leans down to break their pride with her own hand!
Beneath that noble exterior, this auburn human carries a cold, merciless demon!)* Roxy released her grip, letting the male’s head fall back into the dirt as he groaned in agony.
She straightened her posture with slow, immaculate grace, taking a few rhythmic steps backward to return to her original spot.
Locking her hands behind her back, her sharp gray gaze rested cold and unyielding on his broken form.
The male didn’t hesitate for a single second.
Driven by blind, desperate terror, he dragged himself on his stomach across the freezing stone and dirt.
He hauled his broken leg along, his blood-stained hands striking the ground in silent pleading amid the suffocating, shock-heavy silence that blanketed the bleachers.
He kept crawling until he reached her feet.
Lowering his trembling frame, he pressed his lips in utter humiliation to the front of her black shoe.
A collective gasp of sheer disbelief rippled through the hundreds of students standing in the upper tiers: “Did you see that?!
An academy wolf crawling and kissing a human’s shoe?!” “She didn’t even draw a weapon…
How did she break someone that arrogant right in front of the Alpha?” Roxy lifted her foot lightly, slipping it away from beneath the broken male’s lips without granting him even a sliver of pity.
She pivoted slowly, shifting her icy gray gaze toward the second male writhing on his broken ribs.
The male caught her sharp, cutting stare, understanding in a fraction of a second what he had to do to survive the Alpha’s wrath and escape the arena’s agony.
Stripped of every last shred of pride, he began crawling on his stomach through the dirt with everything he had left, dragging his groaning body toward her while his trembling knees scraped against the cold stone.
He kept crawling under the bewildered stares of the crowd until he reached her feet.
Bending down in absolute surrender, he pressed his lips to the tip of her other shoe, wordlessly begging for the nightmare to end.
A massive wave of shock crashed through the bleachers, leaving stun-locked disbelief plastered across every face.
They had just watched two wolves forced to crawl and kiss the feet of a human girl one without fangs or supernatural strength.
In the middle of the pit, Caden froze in place.
His emerald eyes burned with a dark spark of shock and sudden fascination, while **Volcano** roared in his consciousness with wild, dangerous thrill: *(Do you see this, Caden?!
She didn’t draw a blade, nor did she lay a finger on them…
Yet she broke them both and made them crawl beneath her feet like slaves!
This auburn human possesses a dark authority that makes wolves kneel without even blinking!)* Roxy dusted off her shoe with absolute coldness.
Without giving the broken males another glance, she turned slowly toward Caden, who stood staring at her with silent astonishment.
A sharp, regal smile touched her lips, dripping with icy victory.
Her calm voice cut through the stunned silence of the arena: “Now, Caden…” She tilted her head, her gray eyes locking onto his.
“…I think the entertainment show ended with a very satisfying result.
Thank you for your cooperation.” The muscles in Caden’s jaw locked tight.
His dark, harsh features twisted into a violent mix of suppressed fury and pure, unadulterated shock as he watched this human transform the combat pit into a stage for cold-blooded humiliation and absolute submission.
Inside his mind, **Volcano** roared in a blazing frenzy, wild challenge tangling with a dark, unprecedented thrill: *(Cooperation?!
She calls using us to break those scumbags ‘cooperation’?!
Look at how she speaks with total composure, as if she’s the Alpha here!
This hypnotic human doesn’t play by the academy’s rules, Caden…
She manipulates everyone, even us!
I swear, tonight’s banquet is going to be the real war between us!)* Caden took a slow, heavy step toward her, closing the distance until mere inches separated his massive frame radiating the searing heat of battle from her posture, which stood rigid and straight as a forged blade.
He angled his harsh face down toward hers, his sharp gaze raking over her icy features like the point of a dagger.
His voice scraped out dry, gravelly, and dripping with an absolute threat: “Don’t thank anyone, human…” He leaned in closer, his breath hot against her skin.
“…I didn’t work for you.
I just fed the ring’s instincts.”
