Now that I knew what kind of a monster I was up against, I was terrified to even be on the phone with him. I forced my breathing to even out and kept my voice level. I knew men like him, I’d lived with one of them for years. They knew how to smell fear, and they knew how to take advantage of it.

“You were?” I asked in response to his earlier question.

He hummed. “Of course. I’m sure you have a few questions for me.”

“A couple,” I admitted.

“Well, why don’t we do it this way? You ask a question then I ask a question. If you lie, the game is over.”

I risked a glance at Scarlett, and she urged me to keep going. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kai’s jaw clench. He wasn’t pleased with the direction of the conversation, but even he had to know that I had to play the game.

“Deal.”

“Are you alone, Daisy?”

“No.”

“Is your mate there?”

“Yes, that’s two questions now. Who was that wolf outside the border?”

He chuckled softly. “I don’t know. He was unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He may not even be from your pack. What’s your second question?”

Kai held up a hand and scribbled something on a sticky note before sliding it over to me.

“Why do you want us to leave the Northern pack?” I read aloud.

“That’s something your husband asked I’m sure. You know my problem with your kind, you’re too narrow minded. You never ask the right questions. You always just go at things with a large bat when sometimes, what you need is a small chisel.”

“Answer the question.”

“I was promised access to the pack by the former Alpha. I hear you’re closely acquainted with him.”

I frowned.

It couldn’t be that easy. “Why did he promise you the pack?”

“It’s my turn now, Daisy,” he mused. “Do you really want to go to war?”

“I will if I need to.”

He was silent for a moment. “The game isn’t fun if you’re not telling the truth, Daisy. That isn’t the answer to the question 1 asked.”

Gritting my teeth, I forced out a response. “No, I don’t want a war. I want you to leave us alone. Why won’t you just do that?” I cursed when I realized I’d asked a question in my fit of anger.

Judging by his laugh, it was clear that was exactly what he wanted. He was trying to push my buttons so he could catch me off guard. I’d be damned if I allowed myself to lose the ball again.

“I can’t just let you get away with two packs, Daisy. That’s not very fair, especially when one was promised to me. Onto my next question, Daisy, if it came down to it, would you save your mate’s pack or the one you grew up in?”

“That’s not a fair question.”

“I never said I’d play fair. Answer it.”

I opened and closed my mouth repeatedly, but no words would come out.

I couldn’t choose.

On one hand, the Northern pack had hurt me in more ways than one, but that didn’t mean I was going to sit back and watch innocent people suffer and die. Then again, the palace was my home now, and the people had been nothing but kind and accommodating to me, I couldn’t let them die either.

“I don’t know.”

“Answer the question,” he ground out. “Show me that you are just like the others… a monster.”

“The real monster is the one trying to make me choose between innocent lives,” I snapped. “What the fuck do you want? We aren’t hurting you or the other humans, we live alone, we stay out of your homes and businesses.”

“Your very existence is an abomination,” he hissed. “You don’t deserve to live. You are a blight to our land and I will enjoy making sure that I rid the world of your kind.”

Kai snatched the phone right out of my hand. “I will find you, and when I do, I will make you beg for death.”

He laughed.

I’d never heard someone laugh so openly at a threat before. Even Kai was shocked for a moment.

“I was wondering when you’d take the phone, Kai Thornefall. You’re such an avid defender of your mate, how long will that last?”

“As long as it needs to, motherfucker.”

“For your sake I hope that’s true. You have one week to make a decision. Your home or the Northern pack. If I don’t hear from you then, I will make the choice for you. Don’t contact me until you’ve made your choice. It was nice playing the game with you, Daisy. I’ll be sure to send you a treasure map as a gift.”

“A treasure map for what?”

He just laughed and hung up.

Silence stretched through the air. His words, his laughter echoed through the air, piercing through every thought, every heartbeat, every second, until Scarlett cursed loudly.

She screamed, pulling her hair between her fingers. I turned sharply wondering if she was hurt, but the expression on her face wasn’t pain, it was anger and frustration.
