The Alpha King of the North

"Cross the border before I catch you, and you're free," Romulus' frosty eyes darken as his words cut through the air.

"You won't follow me past it?" I feel one eyebrow quirk upwards in disbelief as the words pass through my lips.

"I can't," he grinds out, his composure unwavering.

His god-like form remains still, a testament to his self-control. Time itself seems to freeze in the aura of the ice King. However, the tundra around us betrays his outward calmness. I watch each breath he exhales crystallize in the frigid air, transforming into a cloud of steam. Beneath the surface, anger simmers like a brewing storm. He's fuming.

"Three," he starts counting, his tone ominous. "Two."

Run.
