“They aren’t our people anymore,” Lucien explains. “Anyone who could do what they did . . . No. We’ll help you get revenge.”
I watch her straighten, anger changing her expression. “Quinn is gone. She’s dead. She died with him.” She looks at Jang. “I’m going to rip them all to pieces and feast on their blood. I’ll do whatever it takes, and if you can’t handle that?—”
“We can,” I state strongly, meeting her eyes. “I’ll be right there with you.”
“Then we need to get out of these cages.” She glances at her father once more, her lip trembling for a moment before I watch her swallow and lift her head.
That’s my fucking girl.
“We will, and when we do, we’ll make them all pay,” Vale vows.
“Good, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.” She turns away, and I wonder what she meant.
There was power in her words.
What does she know?
CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
Ilet rage fuel me. I let it blind me to anything else.
I let it numb the pain that will live inside me until the day I die.
I was a child when I lost my family, and I grieved as a child does, but now, as an adult, it is all too real. I have lost my family, but I still have one to fight for. Moreover, I have revenge to get. I don’t care what Jang would think because he isn’t here, and I’m going to kill all of them.
I tried to be nice.
I tried to change the world, but sometimes you can’t.
Sometimes, you cannot stop evil without becoming evil yourself.
I feel them watching me, the men who pulled me from the darkness with their own anger and hatred.
Maybe I needed an enemy. Maybe I needed them to hate me to fill me with something other than grief.
Maybe I always needed them.
I pace my cage, warming up my muscles and coaxing my wolf to the forefront until my hands and eyes are changed. I know they are watching, Jai’s eyes glowing with his wolf that will never be free, and it gives me an idea.
It’s a horrible idea, one that could doom me, but it’s all I have.
If I get the chance.
Hours pass, but I don’t sit still, not for a moment. I hear them trying to plan how to break free. I ignore them and wait, knowing men like their commander will come back. They have no other joys in life, and they only want to cause pain, so he will want to witness ours.
Soon, I hear the boots again.
I’m at the bars when he stops before me. He looks exactly like I’d expect a hunter to look—scarred, old, and filled with hate. He peers at me with a smirk. “How was your talk with your dear old daddy?”
I just stare.
“What? Nothing to say? Have we broken you, wolf?”
A smile creeps up my lips, and his eyes narrow. He doesn’t like that one bit.
His hand darts through the cage, gripping my hair. I let him. He slams my face into a bar, and I feel my cheek break then start to heal. I ignore Vale’s shouts and focus on him. “Look at him. Look at your father,” he sneers.
He made a mistake.
