Escaping Wonderland Art 6

Here is the sixth illustration from Escaping Wonderland featuring Shadow and The Red King from chapter 9. Shadow's quite possessive, and didn't like it when the King kissed Alice...

Scene Snippet:

Shadow was creeping around the machine soldiers, meaning to sneak up behind his foe, when the king pulled Alice against him and kissed her.

Kissed her.

He kissed her!

Shadow’s rage grew into something powerful and primal, sweeping through him from head to toe to the tip of his tail. It was heavy; it was fiery; it was raw. For as long as he could remember, he’d played his games with the denizens of Wonderland because those games were fun. And those people had looked at him like he was a freak, had called him the Grinning Ghost, the Faceless One, the Slinking Shadow. And he’d never hated any of them—not even the ones who’d been angry at him, who’d tried to kill him. It had all been too amusing.

But there was nothing amusing about this. There was no fun to be had here.

Even after witnessing the Red King’s cruelty over an unfathomable length of time, even after countless games—most of which culminated in violence—between Shadow and this man who called himself the ruler of Wonderland, Shadow had never hated the king.

Until now.

Shadow had planned to toy with the king for a little while before escaping with Alice. He’d planned to taunt and tease, and he’d been in a good enough mood that he probably wouldn’t have killed the man before going.

That was no longer the case.

Because the Red King had kissed Alice. Shadow’s Alice.
