Evan’s mother was inconsolable and to be honest, I couldn’t tell if she was more upset at the fact that her son may have killed someone or that the man she was with was dead..

Her shoulders shook with the force of her sobs and she couldn’t respond to any of the questions we tried to ask her.

Evan’s accusation was huge and I couldn’t think of a reason why the boy would lie. I’d never seen that much rage on anyone’s face before, much less a child. My only hope was that the man wasn’t dead, not because he may not deserve it, but because it wasn’t something I wanted on a child’s conscience.

“We have people tearing apart the house for any information we can find that links them to the hunters,” Scarlett said as she walked into the hospital room. “Where is the boy?”

“With Kai. He did try to kill a man so he’s under supervision.”

“Is he going to be arrested?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know.”

This was unlike anything we’d ever had to deal with before. This was a child, a fucking traumatized child who was chained up like an animal and tortured for over six months.

His mother wailed again in front of me and a wave of rage so volatile swirled up inside of me.

“Would you fucking snap out of it?” I yelled and she went still, her sob catching in her throat. “Your son could be tried for fucking murder and you’re wailing. You’re the parent here so fucking act like it.”

She hiccupped but didn’t speak.

“If there is anything you know that can help us then say something. Evan isn’t speaking anymore. Tell us what his relationship is like with his step-father.”

She swallowed. “Gary isn’t his step-father, not officially at least. He’s my mate, but we haven’t made it official yet.”

“Why not?”

She didn’t speak.

“For fucks sake will you open your mouth!”

Scarlett placed a warm hand on my shoulder. “Relax, Daisy.”

I sighed deeply, running my hands down my face.

I was far too emotionally involved in this than I should be, but I couldn’t just let everything play out on its own. Evan was just a boy, and he deserved better. I hadn’t known him for long, but he seemed kind. Guarded, but soft.

I turned back to his mother. “Please, we need to help him.”

“He killed Gary.”

“Gary is still in surgery, and Evan is your son. Do you want to lose them both?”

She sobbed into her hands. “Gary didn’t want Evan. When we met, I had to be honest about what Evan was. Not everyone likes a hybrid child. There’s always a chance that they never get their wolves and become runts. He didn’t want that on his conscience so he wanted to wait until Evan turned thirteen before he made a decision.”

“And what was their relationship like?” I asked. “Did they get along?”

“Gary was hard on him, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t love him. He’s just very… firm in how he likes to discipline.”

Translation: He hit Evan.

I scoffed.

Thankfully, I wasn’t the only one who was disgusted by that statement. Even Scarlett couldn’t hide her expression.

“I know what you’re thinking, but he only does it because he loves us,” she whispered. “He means no harm I swear. He always apologizes after and he tells us that it’s for our own good. Gary is a good man.”

“Us?” I asked and she went silent.

Her shoulders hunched and she bowed her head to the ground.

It was only then I noticed that she was wearing a long sleeve in the afternoon and that she kept her hair down to cover her neck. She fiddled with the sleeves of her shirt anxiously and chewed on the inside of her cheek.

Ever so carefully, I reached for her hand.

She jumped and tried to jerk back, but I wrapped my arms around her wrist. “I’m not going to hurt you, I swear.”

Her eyes were wary, but she didn’t pull back again.

Slowly, I rolled up her sleeves and when I saw the purple bruises on her pale skin, my stomach fucking dropped.

“They’ll fade,” she said hurriedly, pulling her hands back. “We werewolves heal fast!”
