my skin ripple as she pushedback. Rowan growled so loud, everyone turned to him. They thought he was
freaking out because Garith had raised the knife to plunge directly into my hear. He watched my mate's face
greedily as he moved closer to the bubble. “I'm doing her a favour. You know that, right? A final gift to my very
own granddaughter. To save her from the suffering of a slow and painful death from silver poisoning.’
“If you lay one finger on her, | swear to the goddess, you won't be found for years to come.”
Garith seemed to freeze. “What do you
mean?”
“I mean | will take you, and chain you somewhere dark, and cold. | will feed you enough to keep you alive, but |
will cut your fucking tongue out so you can’t whisper your fucking magic to anyone. There will be no one to save
you, not even your fucking whore of a daughter.” Rowan spun, and his hand shot out, catching Verity by the
throat.
Her hand trembled around the silver blade, but Rowan squeezed until she dropped it. Her hands scrambled for
purchase around his fingers. “Rowan, please.” She begged.

“While everyone is distracted, my love, cast the spell for concealment.” My eyes darted to the side where I could
hear my grandmother's voice. | saw Garith shake his head, as if he heard a fly near his ear. “Hurry before my
spell breaks in here. Conceal what Nix is doing, project your hurt body before Nix starts to shift.” Garith shook his
head. “Now, Amy!”
“Ib cor nit sha plugh corfa.” The spell settled around my shoulders as | felt the first joint crack.
“Stay silent, little one. They see what you want them to see, but if you make a noise, the spell will shatter.” With
a soft kiss, she was gone.
Garith turned to me, and | watched as he checked all around me. “What are you playing at, girl?” His voice was
low, but | stayed
silent, biting through my flesh and swallowing the blood that filled
“Father!” Verity panicked as her face turned bright red. Rowan was allowing the tiniest bit of air into her lungs,
allowing her to beg. Keeping the attention from me.
“You can kill her if you want; it won't save your mate.” Garith sneered. “She means nothing to me. Just another
disappointment, and like | said, Amy is already dead.” He chuckled as he lookedover one more tbefore
turning back to face Rowan. “I'm actually saving everyone the pain of watching her wither away.” He grinned as
Verity paled.
“Father!” She clawed at Rowan’s hands. “You can’t mean that.” He snorted. “I'm your daughter.”
“Of course | mean it!” He went to grab me, but I shifted back, afraid of what he would feel. “She is my
granddaughter....if | can kill her, why would you think that your death matters to me?”
“But | follow you.” She cried. “I did everything you asked of me.”
“And yet you failed every fucking test | gave you. Your sisters had more fucking potential, and they weren't even
mine.” Garith shook his head in disgust. Then he turned back toand wavedcloser. “Chere willingly,
or | will make it worse for you.” | rolled my eyes but stepped beside him. | watched as he raised the knife to my
heart and placed the tip there, turning back to Rowan with a smirk. “If | pushed even a little, she would be at
peace.” Rowan growled, but that just made him grin more and press the knife harder into my skin, earning a drip
of blood.
“I will kill her.” Rowan looked a little crazed as he watched the blood bloom on my chest.
“Do it. And | will cut the heart of your beloved before this shield fails.” Garith pressed harder into my chest, but
Nix was stretching. Something shifted, my eyes sharpened, niy nose tingled with the scent of blood, everything
was different.
“Do it.” | whispered to Rowan. 11
His eyes met mine, and | pressed him to understand. His eye color flickered between stormy gray and the ice
blue of Erubus. Amy...”
Garith turned towith a grin. “You want to die?”
I shrugged. “You said it yourself. I'm already dead.” | turned my head towards him. “At least this way | get to
watch Verity die.” | grinned as he snarled at me.
Garith whirled as Rowan tightened his hand, and Verity started to choke. “Are you really going to fucking push
Rowan.” have her heart in my fucking hands right now,
Rowan glanced at me, and | nodded. “Do it.”
He turned back to stare at Garith as he slowly tightened his hand. Verity went from choking to completely silent;
all the air was cut off. Her face cycled through the new colours as she hit, kicked and fought for her life.
But Rowan squeezed until a sharp crack was heard. Verity slumped. “I swear | will cut her fucking heart out.”
Garith screamed as he turned towards me, the knife pressing into my chest. But he froze when he looked down
to find his heart already in my hand. He coughed once, blood pouring from his lips. “How?”
| dropped my concealment spell and watched as his eyes grew wide. | was still short for a Lycan at six foot
seven, but my black fur covered my wolfman body, and my fangs glistened in my snout “Lycans can always
shift.”
Then, | ripped his heart back through his chest and dropped it on the ground.
