Kalle

I swipe the taste of blood off my teeth with my tongue.

Fuck, that male has steel fists. I’m sure more than a few bruises are purpleing on my skin, and I think one

of my ribs has been cracked.

We’ve been fighting for some time now, and we’re finally gaining the upper hand. I barely register the

evening chill anymore, only the burn in my lungs, the copper on my tongue, and the relentless press of

bodies crashing into mine.

The Assembly warriors were banking on overwhelming us. Twenty warriors descended on us, and it was

only the hit of confusion Quin sent to them that allowed us to take advantage and eliminate a few of them

before they were able to attack in earnest.

I pivot just in time, catching an Assembly warrior’s wrist before his blade sinks into my ribs. I twist hard,

feeling bone crack under my grip, and drive my elbow into his throat. He chokes, eyes bulging, and I finish

it with a slash of my claws across his chest. Blood sprays hot against my skin.

Human weapons, again. There is no time to think about it.

Another comes at me.

I duck low, shifting mid-motion, bones snapping and reforming as fur ripples over my skin. My wolf surges forward, massive and furious, and we slam into the attacker with enough force to send him flying into a tree. The trunk splinters on impact. He doesn’t get back up.

My hackles rise, and the sensation of being hunted makes me coil in anticipation.

Dark shapes weaving through the trees, coordinated, ready to add to the force already present.

“They’re like gods damned ants,” I shout.

“Then what do you say we light a fire?” Bret, another enforcer, says, pulling out black powder.

“What the hell is that?”

is proof enough of them wanting to get rid of us for good. This could be what we need to turn their

alliance against them.

Or it is a way to find out about Aria, my wolf says, low and certain.

I push off the table.

“Get everything you can on it,” I tell Felix.

He nods. “I’ll have it done by the time Ronan makes it back.”

I turn toward the tunnels again, the weight of what’s coming settling in my chest.

Theo is running out of time.

Chapter 110

Seeing him like this, broken down, barely holding on, it twists something sharp in my chest.

hose assembly bastards have to have the answer to this somewhere, and I’m going to find it.

“Hey,” I mutter, low enough that it’s just for him. He blinks, looking toward rather than at me before his eyes flutter closed again. “Get some rest,” I add, quieter now: “We’ll figure it out.”

Kiara steps back, wiping her hands on a cloth. “Stay with him,” she tells Barric and Sebastian. “I’ll be back.”

Then she’s gone, disappearing into the tunnels.

I straighten, but my eyes linger on the wounds again, and the question that’s been gnawing at me finally pushes its way out.

“Why arrows?” I ask.
