I hurried forward, catching her before she fell. I pushed the keys to the SUV into her hand. “Drive back to pack territory. They’ll be waiting for you. Directions are plugged into the GPS,”

“N–n–no. I won’t leave you.” Her gaze flicked to Kaleb, so much fear in her eyes. But still she was vowing not to abandon me. It meant more than I could ever say.

“I’ll be okay. I promise.”

Kaleb scoffed in the background.

I pressed the keys more firmly into her palm. “Go.”

Abigail must’ve read something in my expression because she nodded slowly. I helped her into the vehicle and waited for it to start up. I watched as she slowly navigated down the hill.

Kaleb began a slow cap. “That really was touching. Something right out of the Hallmark Channel.”

gritted my teeth, turning back to him. “I’m here. What do you want?”

His eyes glinted under the moon. “There are two choices. Sever your bond or die.”

Even knowing the ultimatum was coming, my pulse still spiked. “What about a third choice?”

Kaleb arched a brow. “And what did you have in mind?”

Your death.”

He let out a bellowing laugh. “And just how are you going to make that happen?”

Now!I sent the command to everyone in my pack.

n a flash, shifters descended in wolf and human form. More than I could count with how quickly they moved. Shifters from the Ridgewood pack and far more hat I didn’t recognize. I caught sight of Cass‘ bond working in tandem to dispatch a group of enforcers. Then Vaughn as he leveled shifter after shifter, rumpling them to the ground as he used his pain gift.

az feigned as if she was heading for me, but I knew she was trying to take Cass out and I was ready. I let a pulse of power fly. Jaz’s eyes widened as she caught sight of it heading in her direction, but it was too late for her to change course. The blast struck her right in the chest. I knew it was fatal before Jaz even hit the ground.
