“I never agreed to this,” the visiting Alpha snapped.

“None of us agreed to any of this,” Beatrice shouted. In a normal voice, she continued. “Look, I don’t have much time left and I’d rather not die with all

sorts of questions rattling around my head, okay? So if you’d be so kind as to answer…?”

Donovan scowled, clearly not liking the fact she was being difficult, Again. “They found Riaghaire. Yesterday.”

Beatrice felt a sudden pain in her chest. They found him. They found him… alive? Dead-dead? “How’s he doing?,” she managed to squeeze out, finding it

difficult to breathe as she waited for the answer.

“He’s still kicking.” Donovan assured her. “He’s definitely pissed off.”

Relief flooded Beatrice as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. He was alive. Ríaghaire was alive. Thank god. And he was pissed. She opened her eyes

and glanced at Tweedledick, who was looking rather pale.

“The Riaghaire is still alive?,” the Beta whispered, fear in his voice.

“Aye. I’d advise you to book it now, while you still can, but we both know that isn’t going to happen.”

“Why hasn’t he attacked yet?” Tweedledick asked, voice tight as he looked from Donovan to Beatrice and back again. “I need to warn-”

“Nope,” Beatrice told him, tone firm. “Remember our deal

you want the name, don’t you?”

“How can you expect me to stay quiet?! The safety of my pack is at stake!,” he growled, eyes shifting to gold.

Beatrice finally pushed herself to her feet and moved closer to the front of her cell. “Because you should have known it all along.”

“What?”

Beatrice rolled her eyes. “You were well aware that Riaghaire took up the role as my bodyguard. Did you not stop to think that maybe, just maybe, he would retaliate if you managed to grab me? Seriously?” She looked over at Donovan. “I’m not missing something, right? He’s being stupid.”

Donovan grunted a little, exchanging a look with the Viking. “I will admit that I was stupid to involve myself in this situation. I should have dropped it the moment I left Kaleidoscope after our first meeting and yet here I am. I can only imagine how the Beta feels.”

“See? He basically agrees,” she nodded, looking back at Tweedledick, whose face was now flush with anger. Or frustration. She didn’t care which. “You’re an idiot. Your Alphass is an idiot. You all knew this would happen. You had him locked up for over eighty years, for fuck’s sake. You’re lucky he didn’t massacre your pack weeks ago. Actually, you should thank me for that. if not for me, you’d already be nothing more than headless corpses.”

“If not for you, he’d have never escaped!”

“If not for you kidnapping me, I’d have never met him. I’ve got the rest of my life to burn, dicks for brains, so keep trying to win. Come on. I’m waiting.”

Tweedledick snapped his mouth shut but it was obvious he was still screaming at her in his head.

“What is with the name calling?” The Viking’s voice was gruff and startled Beatrice. She’d begun to think the guy couldn’t talk, as he hadn’t made so much as a peep this entire time.

Leie resple who piss me off fun nicknames,” Beatrice explained. “It helps me vent and pisses them off in return. Win win.”

Viking wolf nodded. Guess he didn’t have anything else to say. Good.

“So. Alphass Donovan, are you saying this letter is basically Riaghaire threatening a massacre if I’m executed?” Beatrice inquired as she looked over at the Alpha.

Donovan let out an exasperated sigh this guy sighed a lot and ran a hand over his face. “The signature is the one sending the message. The Riaghaire… and a few others… will be the ones to make it a reality if you die.”

Make it a reality? For who?

BEATRICE

A thrill swept through Beatrice at the thought of Riaghaire being the one to enact vengeance if the wolves were to execute her its appeal when she remembered she would need to actually die for it to happen.

“Does the Council know?,” she asked, raising the folded letter. “About this, I mean. And Hendricks. Actually, who all knows about it?”

Alphass Donovan rolled his eyes. “I handed it to Alpha Hendricks, who read it before tossing it. He went on about not being able to stop your execution even if he wanted to.”

Beatrice nodded along as he spoke. “Yeah, sounds about right. I pissed him off earlier so he left in a temper. His fine mood was probably thanks to yours truly. You’re welcome.”

“Of course it was,” Donovan grumbled.

“Here,” Beatrice began, offering the letter to Tweedledick by holding it through the bars. “Take this and show your Council of Seniles. See if they’ll take the threat seriously.”

Tweedledick stared at her for a long moment before taking the offered letter. “Why are you asking me to do this?”

“Because you’re the most invested in the letter. And, let me assure you, the author of it will be most displeased if I die.” Beatrice didn’t know if that would make a difference to the Beta but like hell was she going to miss this opportunity.

“And if they ignore the threat?,” he asked, looking grim. Seemed he thought they’d take it as seriously as Alphass Hendricks.

“Not my problem.” All three wolves stared as she shrugged. “What? They’re the ones that’ll pay for being dumbasses. Sure, I’ll have to die for it to happen

but at least I know if I do, they won’t get away with it. It’s a small consolation prize.”

“Why are you so… so…” Donovan couldn’t seem to find the right word for what he was trying to say but Beatrice understood all the same.

“Because it is what it is. I’ve already accepted I’m not getting out of here unless something insane happens. Worrying about it would be a waste of my time. I’m choosing to believe that, even if Riaghaire doesn’t make it in time, he’ll at least have fun avenging my death.” Turning to Tweedledick, she continued, “As for you, Benedict.” Fuck, it was weird using his real name, but she had to respect the fact his place in the pack was on the line. “Show the letter to the Council. See what they say. I don’t need to know what they decide, since I figure they’ll ignore it, so there’s no need to come back down here. You’ll get the

will name, as promised, before I’m executed. Or after, depending on circumstances. But you get

“…you used my actual name. Why?”

Beatrice scoffed. “Don’t think about it too much or your last brain cell will go on strike.” Looking over at Donovan, she gave him a nod. “Thanks; for delivering the letter and telling me Riaghaire is alive.”

The Alpha grunted. “Yeah, well… I owed you that much.”

The corners of Beatrice’s mouth quirk upwards. “Aw, I’m so glad you’ve started to see the light, Donovan.”

He scowled, earning a laugh from the human. “Whatever happens now,” he began, “I’ve done my part to make amends.”

“Agreed,” Beatrice chuckled. “Consider us even. I’d say it’s been a pleasure knowing you but…”
