"Repay me? So you're saying you've already shifted your affections to this pretty-faced rogue?"
"Yes!"
I finally understood. All her kindness toward me these past six months had been an act of endurance. She had been waiting for me to lower my guard completely before striking.
But I never imagined she would drag my foster-dam into this, making her suffer alongside me.
Darian Frostveil fixed me with a gaze full of hatred. Then he rose to his feet and limped toward me, one leg dragging uselessly. He drove his fist into my face.
"Kael Nightthorne, you dared to break my leg and turn me into a cripple. I'm going to torture you and your foster-dam slowly, bit by bit. Just you wait!"
I glared at them both with fury burning in my eyes. "Selene Frostveil, kidnapping us and bringing us here by force is a violation of pack law. You know my temper and my methods. Once I get out of here, I will reject our bond and leave you with nothing—"
"Ha! Kael Nightthorne, oh Kael Nightthorne." She laughed without a trace of fear. "I stopped being afraid of you long ago. Over these past six months, I've already seized control of your pack. Even the Pack Elders have been bought off and now stand with me."
