She stands. “We are coming out!” she calls.
“Is that the wolf I have heard so much about?” Black calls with a chuckle. “I’ve got to say, I saw the camera footage of you taking out all my men at the warehouse. You’re good, but you’re not good enough for all of us. However, I appreciate your bravery. I will make your death quick, I promise, to honour your courage.”
Men troop towards the entrance to escort us to our deaths, but I see something happen before it actually does and almost laugh.
The idiots don’t know about the tripwire, and I watch as the first line of their defence falls, grateful Jai didn’t disarm it.
“Well, that took out some.” Quinn changes and lunges into the chaos.
We chase after her, following her to certain death just like I always knew we would, but like she said, I’m not scared of dying, not after getting to love her. It is just another beginning for us.
“Don’t waste your bullets. Kill them with your blades and make it hurt. They were leading us into a trap,” Black orders as he steps back.
Snarling, I dive at them, but these are Black’s elite hunters. They move faster than most humans, better too. It almost makes it impossible to catch them, and their blades sink into my sides.
I hear wolves screaming in agony and know we are losing.
The moon turns red with our blood, and I glance over at my mate, knowing it will be the last time I see her.
CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX
Iroar in agony as a blade sinks into my back leg, rendering it useless as whatever poison they use spreads through my body, but I continue to fight at Quinn’s side, trying to hold them back. All the wolves followed us, and so many have already died.
The bright lights of the trucks are only outshone by the brilliant red moon shining ominously above us—a sign of impending death.
Our deaths.
I will fight until they steal the last breath from my lungs, and the last thing I’ll see will be my mate. My destiny was always leading me to her.
I should be scared to die, but I’m not—not when she’s at my side because I know we will be together in this life and the next. Our love cannot be stolen by death. It is eternal. It will live on even when our bodies won’t.
I didn’t even believe in love until her.
We were enemies, but in the end, we are lovers.
There’s a scream that makes my heart ache, and Quinn stumbles back with a blade in her chest. I leap at the hunter attacking her, knocking him away as I block Quinn, taking the blows meant for her.
Jai screams, and I glance over to see him in his human form with a needle in his neck. In horror, I watch as a hunter grabs each arm and breaks them. He falls back, roaring as they stomp on both of his legs, and even from here, I hear them snap.
My eyes find my brother who is looking at Quinn, even as a blade heads for him.
She is the last thing he wants to see.
I scream as another blade sinks into me, my eyes going to Quinn to see her in human form too. As I watch on in pained horror, she tugs the blade from her chest and tosses it away, her hands falling to the cement where she sprawls.
She’s dying.
We all are.
Goddess, do not let her suffer. Make it last forever for me if need be, but do not let Quinn suffer.
JAI
I roll to my side as the hunters move away. Knowing I will be dead soon, they attack other wolves, leaving me broken on the stained concrete. Wolfsbane runs through my system, meaning I can’t change back or heal.
I’m human. I’ll die like I began.
My eyes find Quinn, and horror and heartbreak fill me.
