The crowd screamed, and Shannon grabbed for Brandon, who tried to turn and help his friend. Shannon fought
to keep him close as blood poured from Derek's lips. The omega ripped the blade from his back and slipped off
her mask as she stepped in front of him. “What did you always say to me? Keep your eyes open while | stuff you,
kitten.” Lynn grabbed his face. “I wouldn't want you to miss anything.” She grinned as she slammed the blade
into his chest.
Derek coughed blood as he pulled his face out of her grip. “You...stupid...bitch.” He coughed again and grabbed
for the knife. But Lynn was too quick. She ripped it from his chest and slammed it into his stomach. “I'm going to
kill you.” He laughed as blood dripped from his lips. “You think this is your revenge...but in reality this is your
funeral.”
Everyone surged to their feet. The omegas, the real ones, took off. Low-ranked, weak wolves screamed and took
off running too. But the men and women who were higher ranked all converged on Lynn. She pulled out a second
blade and, instead of attacking anyone else, she laughed. It was boisterous and slightly manic as she turned and

rightfully so. She screamed in triumph as she kept attacking him.
Vince bellowed for everyone to freeze. He slammed his aura out, and all of his men froze. Which was the
dumbest move that Vince could have possibly done for Derek. Because | had already commanded Lynn to ignore
all other Alpha commands, and | was more powerful than Vince. So she didn’t hesitate; she kept stabbing Derek
over and over until she grew tired of the knives and threw them away.
Derek screamed. He bellowed his pain and tried to struggle, but Vince's command froze him in place, like
everyone else. Everyone except me, Rowan, Lynn and Garith. “Stop!” He begged, but Lynn just laughed as she
grabbed his chin.
“I remember | begged you to stop. You and your friends, but you just laughed at me. You said that eventually |
would cto beg for it, for you...” She leaned in as she started to shift her claws. “Tell me, mate...are you
begging for it yet?” She screamed, her eyes a little wild.
Garith stood and strolled down the aisle. “It lor kina sizet.” Lynn froze. Her claws had just formed, and her fangs
descended. ” Look at you.” He continued walking towards her, and | could see the panic flash in her eyes. “You're
so ferocious for a kitten.” He laughed darkly as he finished walking.
“What did you do?” Vince called out.
Garith turned his head towards Vince. “What you failed to do.” He grinned as he leaned against the pew Rowan
was seated on. “I froze everyone but myself so | could save your beta, and kill the king. Now that the crowd is
gone.” He pulled the mask from his eyes. “There we are.” He turned to Shannon and waved the masks. “While it
hid my face like | requested. It was fucking annoying.” He tossed it to the ground and sighed. “Well now. This is
interesting.” He slid down beside my mate and leaned over. He twisted his shoulder so he could look up at
Derek. “How are you feeling? You look rough, boy.”
Derek turned his gaze to Garith and smiled, blood coating his teeth “It’s just a scratch.” He laughed, but blood
poured from his mouth. He coughed for a few seconds, trying to clear his airways.
Garith shook his head as he pulled back and settled back against the pew. “I doubt that. Those blades right ther
se blades are silver.” He pointed to the two daggers on the ground. Garith laughed. “You can smell the silver
from here. Isn t that right, kitten?”
Lynn snarled. “Don’t callthat!” She was frozen, but her entire body was trembling. | couldn't tell if it was
from fear, or from her straining to move. But either way, she was cornered. Her eyes turned to me, and | could
see panic there, but also resignation.
Her wolf ran from the trees. Get your mate and run, Amy. Don’t worry about us. Then she turned back and was
gone.
Nix turned to me. She’s planning on dying.
Well. I shook my head. We all know that’s not happening.
Lynn's eyes flashed to a burnt copper. Her wolf was upfront, and she was not happy. But her panic won over, and
her eyes snapped back to her human eyes. “No one will ever callthat again.” She trembled for a few
seconds before her wolf pushed forward again, and | watched her body grow still. Her voice ca little smokier.
“But you are right, old man.” Her smile grew as Derek's eyes rolled to meet her gaze. “This knife is silver. And
you...you are dead.”
