I stop dead in my tracks. Why have I heard that name before, why does it sound familiar to me?
Turning around, I waited for him to elaborate when he didn't, I ask. “Your point being?” I ask him.
“Dior Shivani's mate, head of the Reaper Wolves, that boy, is her grandson,” Vince says, stepping closer. “And you killed him,” he growls.
“There are no Reaper Wolves left. Dominic handled them when they attacked the pack,” I tell him.
“Besides, Dior and Lorelei never had any kids,” I state, and Vince laughs.
“You'll never get rid of the Reaper Wolves. Just because you haven't read about them in the papers doesn't mean they aren't still here. They've gone underground, and you just killed the ringleader's son.”
“And who is this ringleader? Lorelei is dead, and Dominic handled Dior. What are you going to tell me, I killed Santa Claus next?” I laugh, turning back toward the car and Rose. I get two feet before he tackles me.
We hit the ground with a thud, and he grabs my face. “Laugh all you want, but you better pray he doesn't find out. You should have given them Rose, he wouldn't have killed her. But if he finds out you killed his son for her, he'll come for you, and when he does, he'll take her, make you fucking watch while he destroys her,” Vince snarls before shoving off me.
“Who will?” I call out as he stomps off. “Vince?”
“You're better off not knowing,” he calls out as I get to my feet. I walk back to the car to see Vince lean into Andrei’s car to retrieve a lighter before he lights a smoke.

“Meet me at the wreck in an hour,” he says, climbing into the other car. He then drives off, and I climb in with Rose. I head home, and luckily, the pack seems to be still asleep since it's early morning. However, to no one’s surprise, Andrei is awake and waiting. He storms over to the car the moment it pulls up and tosses his hands up in the air when he notices the damage to his car.
“What the fuck!” he growls the moment I climb out of the car. He moves to rip Rose's door open and give her the scolding of a lifetime when I step in front of the passenger door.
“Let me take her home. Tell Sage she went out, I picked her up, and she stayed at my place if she asks,” I tell him, and he shakes his head, shoving me aside when I grab his arm.
He looks at me. “What the fuck is going on?” he growls furiously. I swallow, looking at Rose. I tell him the gist of it without mentioning any names except Rose's boyfriend.
“You took care of it?” he asks, and I nod.
“That's why you need to go with what I said. Sage can't find out.”
His brows furrowed in confusion. “What aren't you telling me?”
I glance at the pack house. “Vince believes one of the boys I killed is linked to the Reaper Wolves.”
“Reaper Wolves are gone. Why would he think that?”
And for the first time, I lie to my Alpha.
“No idea, but he reckons one of them looks like a Thana?” I tell him and he seems confused.
“Lorelei Thana?” he asks, and I shrug. “I will ask Dominic if anyone knows about the Reaper Wolves. It's him.”
“You can’t tell him why, the fewer people who know about this the better,” I tell him.
“Dominic can be trusted,” Andrei tells me.
“Not if he thinks Thana is alive, you know he’ll hunt them down and that will lead to more questions, ones where the answers lead back to here, back to Sage and Rose.”
“Sage can't find out, you know how paranoid she is about Rose. If she hears any mention of the Reaper Wolves, she'll spiral,” Andrei tells me, then sighs.
“Then make your inquiries brief.”
“He’ll know,” Andrei answers.
