i need to leave.
i need to tell my brother.
i need to leave.
this wolf is no wolf.
he is no prince of wolves.
he is meant to be king.
i snatch my dagger from the ground.
the prince barks.
i back away from him.
he stalks towards me.
i turn to run.
i make it outside before he catches me.
his ears are back.
grey eyes dark.
a growl rumbles in his throat.
i struggle.
he snaps,
teeth closing before my face.
i flinch.
he wants to see himself.
he hasn't for two years.
because he was put under a spell.
and only enchanted silver can reflect the truest form.
he whines.
i flinch again.
he is sorry.
but his eyes betray him.
he is not.
he wants my dagger.
❄️
