Xin Yi's mind raced. The Wolf Alpha knew. He KNEW she wasn't from this world. But how? How could he possibly—
"You.…..you know about..."
He scoffed, rolling his eyes like she had asked him the most stupid question possible. "Of course I know. Did you think you were clever? Building strange structures? Teaching primitives about 'soap' and 'bricks' and 'drainage'?" His white eyes narrowed. "You are not the first 'other' to come here. And you will not be the last."
Her stomach dropped.
There were MORE transmigrators? Even those that came before her??
"So." He leaned closer. His breath was cold against her face. "You are not ready to talk? Fine."
He stood abruptly and gestured to the guards. "Bring in the snake king. Perhaps a few lashes would loosen her tongue and make her very talkative."
"No!" Xin Yi lunged forward but the ropes held her. "Don't—don't hurt him, please!"
The doors at the side of the throne room opened.
Two wolves dragged in a body.
Qing Lin.
