“Right.” She took a breath, then let it out. “Troy’s got Bryn holed up in the cave Dawn was talking about earlier. He’s planning on draining her and her baby so he can do a ritual that’ll bring Gregor back.”“What?” My question was little more than a growl, and I heard a similar rumbling from Lance and Dom.She nodded. “One of the women who used to bully her is with her, and Bryn believes she’s on her side.”“Do you think she’s trustworthy?” I asked.“No. But Bryn promised me she’d be careful.”I ran a hand through my hair in frustration.“Can you tell us about his guards?” Lance asked.“They’re all over the place. It’ll be hard for Bryn to get out because of that. The only reason I could escape was because there was a hole in the roof of the cave.”“I’m sure they’re expecting us,” Lance said. “They’ll be prepping for that.”“Troy’s not going to do the ritual until sundown. There’s only a couple of hours until then.”“We need to go. Now.”“Tavi, we’ll be back,” Dom told her, pressing

I wasn’t under Troy’s control like they were, yet he had the ability to make me want to lose all sense. Troy had always known exactly which button to push to make a wolf go feral just to kill him. And in that moment, I’d never felt worse for the poor kids under his control.I shoved back my rage. “Tell us where Bryn is, and maybe I’ll give you a head start before hunting you down, Troy.”He laughed hard. “What an arrogant prick you are! You know, Night, you have this nasty habit of making threats even when you’re in no position to do that.”“Troy, the sun is setting, and Bryn is nowhere around. All I have to do is kill you, and this thing will be over. You’ll miss your window for your stupid ritual, and the ferals will be free. You’re the one at a disadvantage here.”But he didn’t seem bothered by my words, which only put me more on edge. “It’s nearly nighttime,” he said. “And I’ve given my men the order to start draining Bryn’s blood the minute the sun sets. Her blood will still be f

“Can’t you just tell us where we need to go?”“No. I need to be there.”He heaved a sigh, then grumbled something about how pregnant women shouldn’t be on their feet so much as I was. He was right, of course. If Damon, Mom, or Violet saw me right now, they’d throw a fit to end all fits. But I could handle it. Sure, my back ached and my thighs pulsed from all the activity, but I pushed through the discomfort. My body hadn’t given up on me yet, and I couldn’t risk losing Night.I mentally promised each of them that I would not only rest after this but wouldn’t leave my bed until after the baby was born. I looked at Dawn, who was trying—and failing—not to look scandalized by the way I spoke to Kai.I patted the burly, frustrated man on the arm. “Don’t worry, I’ll have you and the other fighters around to keep me safe. Dawn, if you’re ready, lead the way.”“Okay.” She glanced at Kai again, then took the lead. Cat was close behind her, and Kai nodded at his men to follow. He and I were at

Chapter 27NightWhen we burst through the tunnel, my men and I following closely behind Troy, I wasn’t expecting to find myself in a ravine. But the locale of the showdown didn’t matter to me. All I cared about was sinking my teeth into Troy’s throat and squeezing until he stopped breathing.Moments after we entered the ravine, we encountered waves of young wolves, ferals eager to tear us apart. Thanks to the Garou Pack’s ingenuity, our claws and fur were dipped in a paralytic that would subdue the ferals seconds after entering their bodies. It wouldn’t hurt them. The trick was to scratch them without seriously injuring them or getting our fur into their mouths.It went against our very nature to purposefully let an enemy get close to us like that, but it was made even more fucking difficult by the fact that Troy kept flitting around the battlefield like a deranged mouse. The ferals and his men surrounded him, keeping him from the fray while he danced around us, his laughter echoing

It was a time to cheer and celebrate, but I couldn’t wait to see my mate. I sprinted for the cliff wall, which had just enough nooks and crannies for me to leap and scramble up to the top. I shook out my fur, and then I was all over Bryn, my wolf partially taking over to press his nose in her face and lick her face.She yowled with laughter, her arms closing around my neck. I let my wolf have his fun for a bit before taking over and shifting into my human form.“You’re incredible,” I told her.She grabbed my face between her hands. “Speak for yourself, champion.”She kissed me, and I pulled her close against me. Hers was the sweetest taste, and now I could enjoy her without Troy lurking in the darkness.Finally, finally, this sick part of our history was over. Now, we could live.Chapter 28BrynAfter the battle, we made sure the Garou and Camas Packs didn’t need further assistance, then we returned to Kings’ territory. We were all beyond exhausted, but it didn’t really hit me until I

I gasped. “You did?” Night and I asked at the same time.Violet hopped to her feet. She hadn’t looked so vibrant since Troy had given her the alpha wound, the marks of which had faded a lot in the last few weeks. “Come on, you two! Let’s show you all the changes we’ve made.”A few minutes later, our new home came into sight, and I was already amazed to see all the work that had been done. It’d been weeks since I’d last stopped by, and it had undergone a complete makeover. The outside was painted a gorgeous sea green. The door and windows were trimmed with white. Inside, there were vibrant rugs and knitted tapestries, and the kitchen was a deeper jungle-green shade with brass finishings on the drawers and cabinets. The banisters and floor had been polished to a shine, and the place was filled with natural light.Upstairs, the nursery had been painted a soft, eggshell white with stars painted in various hues across the walls. The rug was plush and white, like soft fur under our feet. Th

Murmurs erupted throughout the crowd. Many of the families of the feral children were already emotional. Some had even left while we were talking to get their bearings.“Who killed Troy?” Theodore asked.“I did,” Night said. “But it was a team effort. I can’t take credit for the kill alone.”“Can’t you, as an alpha, force the feral wolves to shift?” Council Member Dana asked.“I could try to compel them to do that, Dana, but to be honest with everyone here, I’m not sure what that would do to their minds. I’m not willing to hurt them more than they’ve already been hurt.”“What did you do to remind them of who they were?”“I told them their names,” I replied.Another moment of silence followed, broken only by the occasional sniffling of the children’s families. Another contraction hooked around my abdomen, making my breath hitch. Night glanced at me, but it wasn’t the best time to ask me if I was okay.“Has this ordeal established a relationship with these other packs?” Council Member J

The sound of Bryn’s sharp gasp had my head snapping toward the door so fast, the hallway spun. I rushed for the door, but Dom got in my way.“Oh no, you don’t!” he said, hands flat on my chest. “You’re not about to barrel in there and bring things to a halt, Night.”I growled at him, gripping his shoulder and pushing him out of the way. Dom was great at grappling, so all he did was wrap his arms around my waist and pull me back. Bryn gasped again, and I fought against my beta, but just as I was about to be free, Lance tackled us both to the ground. We wrestled until they somehow got hold of some rope.“Fuck both of you.” I seethed as they forced my hands behind my back and tied them. The rope was a measure for fathers like me who were too rowdy to restrain themselves. No one came out to check on what was going on because this was pretty par for the course.The two of them hauled me to my feet and forced me into a chair. They sat on either side of me, breathing even harder than me. I w
