Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the Beast
Rowan ran toward me, but Kaima-Zero raised her silver pen.
She didn't write on the air. She wrote on the **Floor**.
***"The Knight was frozen in time,"*** she commanded.
Rowan stopped mid-stride. His body turned into a statue of grey stone, his face locked in a scream of "No!"
"Rowan!" I lunged for him, but I couldn't move him. He was as heavy as a mountain.
"He will be fine," Kaima-Zero said, walking past him toward the chair. "Once you are 'Linked,' you can unfreeze him. You can make him a king. You can make him anything you want."
