“Where’s Malcolm?” I demanded as I left the cell.

“He’s been taken back to the jail,” Sheriff McCabe said as he walked down the hall with

Will. They must have just arrived.

–

“Bring him back. And Delta Charles as well,” I ordered. “Briggs, Mina, I need you to get

Alpha Torin and Luna Grace and help them gather all the visiting pack leaders outside.

Jimmy — spread the word through the packhouse as well. I want everyone outside within

the next half hour. Sherrif McCabe chain Amy up on the pavilion.”

“What are you going to do?” Briggs asked.

“I’m done,” I said, my rage and anguish settling over me with an eerie calm. “Whether the

Waar P ak makes it out of this tonight or I do, this ends now. But make no mistake, that bit

ch won’t see tomorrow.” I turned to leave. “And get Kylee out of there.”

I stormed down the corridor and out of the cellar, Theo following behind me. I could feel he

had questions, but I couldn’t stop yet. My determination was quickly taking over every

other emotion that had been coursing through me.

took the stairs two at a time, pushing my sore body more than I should. I didn’t know if

what I was about to do would help me or destroy me. But I honestly didn’t care. I had lost

too much and too much was being threatened. The only thing I knew, even if I couldn’t say

why, was that my fate would be determined tonight.

And I was ready.

I burst into our apartment and went straight to my father’s books. I was searching

haphazardly through them when Theo finally rested a hand on my arm. Haulting my

movements.

“I’m with you, love,” he said softly. “Whatever you are planning, I’m by your side. But I

need to know what else you need from me.”

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Turning to my mate, I snaked my arms around

him and buried my face in his chest. He instantly returned the embrace, holding me

tightly. I reveled in his touch. Concentrating on the tingling sensation that he still so

strongly invoked. Dasha came to the forefront of my mind, connecting to Kieran. She, too,

had a sense of calm about her that assured me we were meant to be doing this.

“This,” I whispered. “I need this. Whatever happens, remember that this is real. This is

everything to us. Remember that I love you.”

“I could never forget that, love,” he said, kissing my head.

When I finally pulled away, I turned back to the books and found the one I needed. I

collected a few other items and place them in a box with the text. Holding it firmly, I took

Theo’s hand and we left our home.

‘Malcolm and Charles are back on the grounds,’ Briggs linked us both. ‘Do you want them

with Amy?’

‘Not yet,’ I replied. ‘I want to talk to Malcolm privately first. Bring him inside. Put Delta

Charles somewhere with a good view.’

I took the long way through the packhouse. I wanted everyone to see us, but no one dared

approach us to speak. By the time we made it to the lobby, a group of pack members was

following us out. I saw Briggs waiting at a door nearby. Theo and I left the group behind

and entered the room where Malcolm was chained up.

For the first time, I could see his demeanor was truly rattled. He had seen the commotion

outside and he was scared.

He should be.

I walked up to him and pulled his collar to away, checking each side of his shoulder and

neck.

“That’s what I thought,” I said. “You marked her but didn’t let her mark you.”

He stiffened but failed to hide the reaction on his face fast enough.

“I’m betting you gave her some bulls hit line about it being to protect her,” I crooned.

“That your enemies couldn’t know you had a mate or they’d come after her. But do you

know what I think?” I leaned in closer to him. “I think you’re ashamed she’s your mate.”

Malcolm grimaced. “She’s young and stup id.”

“Yes,” I scoffed. “She is that. But she’s still fated to you. And you just couldn’t deny that

bond. You feel for her the closest thing to love someone like you could feel.”

He dropped his head, refusing to look at me.

“Good,” I said softly. “That’s all I need to know.”

I indicated to Briggs to take Malcolm and follow us along with the two guards that were

with him. I exited the room into a lobby that hushed as soone as we emerged. I headed

out of the packhouse, Theo by my side, and walked toward the head of the pavilion. The

crowd parted to make way for us.

I should have been looking at their faces. I should have been gauging the atmosphere. But

I didn’t. I watched Amy’s face as her eyes

followed Malcolm the entire way. The amount of devotion and adoration that was there

almost made me feel sorry for her. But I needed that bond and I wouldn’t back down.

I stood on the platform at the end of the courtyard. Waiting as the last few murmurs died

down and silence fell over the world. Until I heard nothing. Not even the sound of crickets

chirping in the night. Just silence.

I moved to a podium near the front of the stage and placed the box down. I slowly

removed the contents, placing them all where they would be visible, before turning back

to the multitude.
