Chapter 544
Lynn's face was triumphant. Brandon screamed. “Derek!” But he was still frozen. Derek himself was stuck on his
knees, eyes open but glossy. Blood still trickled from his wounds, but that was more from gravity than it was
from his heart. Because his heart was silent. “No!” Brandon screamed again, but Lynn Just laughed. “You stupid
bitch, I'll kill you myself. He didn’t deserve to die.”
“He deserved every fucking slice.” She screamed back. “Every the touched me, cut me, burned me. | kept
count. | kept track of every fucking breath he breathed against my neck. He got lucky that | was stuck like this
before I had finished.”
Brandon's eyes burned as he opened his mouth but Garith screamed. “Enough.” He waved his hands towards
me, and | stepped up next to him. “Good girl.” He opened the toolkit in my hand and smiled. “You wouldn't mind
holding this for me, would ya, darling?” He smiled as if he were asking, but | felt the weak command he put into
his words.
Rowan snorted. “You did all of this to killand take over as king, but that was your command?” His eyes
turned to Garith’s. ” You are fucking weak.”
Garith snarled. “I know | won't be king, but my son is stronger.” He grinned and grabbed for me. He pulled me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaround the pew so | was standing next to his thigh and he unzipped the toolkit, displaying the knives there.
“Now...let's get to work.”
“Gavin would never.” Rowan was baiting him.
“Gavin is a disappointment. | was smart enough to have a backup. Not as strong, and Garren has no magic, but
beggars can’t be chooser | guess.”
Garren...I've heard that nbefore.
The wolf that Aurora was with in the caves. Nix growled low as she remembered.
Garith sighed. “I would have been happier with Gavin's girl...now, she had potential. But...” He turned to look at
Brandon.” Speople have different ideas.” He turned to Shannon. “And shave ambitions they shouldn't.
But here we are.” He turned back to Rowan. “It doesn’t matter anyway. I'm close.”
“Close? To what?” Rowan laughed again. “Killingwill do nothing for your position. My Luna is already in place
to take over for me.” His words made my stomach clench.
Garith waved a hand. “There is a solution for your Luna. But I'm close to the first family. | can feel it. | have
traced a few lines, and | feel like | am close.”
Nix snorted. Closer than he actually thinks.
Rowan snorted out loud. “The first family? Of course, I'm from the first family.”
“Not Lycan’s, you idiot. The first family to wolves.” Garith’s face morphed into something close to devotion. “If |
can get close to the first family...any child | have with someone from that family would be strong.” Then he
turned back to Rowan. “Then | would just kill the rest so no one could interfere.”
Rowan laughed. “What would you do if they wanted nothing to do with you?”
“Simple...I would cull them...like | did when the King turned down givinghis daughter.”
The room plummeted into icy silence.
Rowan’s eyes flashed to the icy blue I loved. “What did you just say
Garith laughed. “You didn’t know?” He threw his head back and twirled the knife in his hand. “Your mother was
pregnant with a she-wolf. He was so excited for a second pup. As | heard Lycans only have one pup, right?” He
grinned. “So when he scented the pregnancy, he threw a party. Apparently, his finding out he was having a girl
triggered something inside of him. He wanted salphas to pass down the torch, so to speak. He said that
times were changing, and he wanted to make sure we were changing with them.” Garith shook his head. “He
grew soft. So | offered him a deal.”
“A deal?” Brandon jumped in. “To step down? Why?”
He turned to my ex-mate and glowered at him. “Cause | was thinking bigger. You all think so small. But | told the
king that if he promisedthe hand of his daughter, | would step down happily.
“She wasn’t even bourn, and you were trying to marry her?” Rowan growled.
Garith waved his hand. “He said no; your father wasn’t great at thinking big picture either. He just said that the
goddess would pick her mate, and that was that.” He laughed low. “Or so he thought.”
“What do you mean?” Shannon asked, obviously confused.
“Well...” Garith shrugged. “He could have mated his daughter to me, and none of this would have happened. But
instead...” He looked at Shannon and dropped the acting. His eyes turned cold, empty. He went from being a
vibrant man to looking like he was dead inside. And | guess he was. “Instead, | gave up my pack, sure, but |
killed his mate, his child, his entire race.” Garith laughed, but his eyes stayed dead. “I killed all the Lycans, wiped
out his line well, most of his line...until today.” He turned back to Rowan. “But hey, better late than never, right?”
And then he slammed the knife into Rowan.
