The Betrayed Princess Rising (Lylah and Ezra) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132

3rd Person’s POV

Before Vargan could react, Ezra lunged.

The impact slammed the older wolf against the wall so hard the structure itself shuddered. A dull crack echoed through the penthouse as Vargan’s back hit the surface.

In the next second, he was pinned.

Ezra’s hand gripped the front of his collar while sharp claws pressed against the skin of Vargan’s throat. The Alpha had allowed them to lengthen, the dark talons resting directly over the pulse beneath Vargan’s jaw.

One slash.

That was all it would take to end him.

“You…” Vargan’s eyes widened.

But there was no anger in them. No fear.

Only shock.

“What are you doing?” he rasped. “Ezra, have you lost your mind?”

The man standing before him no longer looked entirely human.

This wasn’t Ezra.

It was his wolf.

Ragnar.

The beast rarely surfaced, but when it did, every wolf in Moonclaw felt their instincts tremble. Power radiated from him like a storm barely contained. Ezra’s wolf was massive, with dark gray fur rippling along its form, the color of jagged mountain peaks under moonlight. His eyes glowed a fierce silver–blue- ancient, cold, and commanding.

Less like a wolf.

More like something carved from legend.

Ezra leaned closer, claws pressing just slightly deeper against Vargan’s throat.

“Don’t… you… dare…” his voice came out rough, every word dragged from somewhere primal. “Take… her… from… me.”

A chill crawled down Vargan’s spine.

Slowly, carefully, he swallowed.

Then he nodded.

“Don’t you ever dare mention it again,” Ezra growled.

“I won’t,” Vargan said immediately.

Only then did he dare breathe again.

‘I’m not taking your Luna away,” he continued cautiously. “That was only a threat. I received reports that you’ve been withdrawing from everything lately. So I thought something might have gone wrong between you and Lylah… that it was affecting your behavior.”

For a moment, the claws remained where they were.

Then Ezra lifted them an inch from Vargan’s neck.

“You came all the way here just to make sure Lylah and I are fine?” Ezra asked after a moment. “Thank you. But you worried for nothing. Nothing is wrong between us- I won’t allow it to be.”
