“I thought you said you'd been attacking them weekly?” | bark at Jasper as | wash my hands again. What the

fuck froes Quéris have on his pack lands?

“We have been. You and | just attacked them last week. And | didn’t know her whole fucking family was going to

be deme. | thought it would just be Henry and Connor. | wasn’t expecting Warren, the second son and Harold”

“I swear if you're yanking my chain about this money.” | growl, although it’s not just about the money now. | saw

het. Kennedy. She’s even more ripe than | remember.

The other thing | realized is that, unlike most of her family, she’s not a fighter. The guard had waned fighting and

the and her mother stood back and watched. Any fighter would have jumped in and helped him fight. That just

means it will be easier forto get her and keep her once | have my hands on her.

“Look, he’s loaded, okay. The only reason they seemed so strong was because there were five Alphas fighting

well. technically six, but my Beta took out the young girl. Then, Henry had to jump in and kill him Jasper growds.

“Took her out?” | ask. Why the fuck would a Beta go after a young girl, even if she is an Alpha? It sounds like he

was a coward to me. I'd have kicked my Beta’s ass if he'd wasted his talent fighting against a pup. That must

have been the sguy who was fucking the human woman. Sounds like he lacked confidence and needed to

boost his ego by dominating humans and pups. Why wouldn't he have left her for a warrior or just ignored her

altogether. Even if Alpha Warren is her father, de second daughter can’t be older than fifteen. Good riddance as

far as I'm concerned. That Beta was a waste.

“Yeah, sliced her good. He was about to kill her when Henry jumped him.”

“I'm guessing this means that you won't be able to attack his pack again any tsoon?” | ask, disappointed.

I've sent scouts to watch and see when Kennedy's family leaves. Once they do, I'll be ready to attack again. |

can’t wait to sink my teeth that ripe little peach.

“Actually, I may be getting sinside intel soon,” he says, his tone taunting. He loves feeling like he’s in

charge.

“Oh?” | ask, keeping my tone light.

“Yeah. Well, | did find out that Alpha Quirin put his Luna on the bank account, so she'll either help us get the

moory or have to die. But it seems that not everyone is happy that Quirin allowed his Luna’s family to cto

their pack. Looks Fie this person is looking for a change in leadership and since I'm willing to assist.” he says,

letting the rest of the sentence hang in the air.

“When will you know if you get real intel?” | ask him. Knowing that Kennedy is on the bank account just changed

everything for me. If | get her, | don’t need Jasper. | get the peach and the money.

“Should be later this week,” he says.

“Letknow what you find out,” | say and hang up.

If Quirin has a traitor, that will help us get into the pack lands. If this person is willing to take out their Alpha,

even better. Once Quirin is gone, I'll kill Jasper, then Kennedy and the money are all mine.

Quirin POV

I've been fuming ever since | found out that Kennedy wasn’t in a safe room. What the hell was she thinking?

I'd been fighting Jasper and Raif had taken a swipe from his claws. | knew without needing Kennedy to tell me

that | had

silver in the wound. Raif confirmed it when he said he couldn't heal the wound. Raif was rolling back to his feet

when we'd seen Henry, shifted and holding Wendy in his arms, about to get attacked.

I'd seen red, nearly the scolor of red that I'd seen when | found out Kennedy wasn’t in the safe room. Before

Henry could move, | leaped over him, taking out the attacker. Then I'd turned, wondering what was wrong with

Wendy

My heart had stuttered when | realized that she was bleeding. The only reason that her wolf wouldn't heal her is

if she hart silver in her wounds. | had a moment of pure terror when | realized that this could easily be my mate

When Henry had taken off with Wendy towards the pack hospital, I'd resumed fighting, but I couldn't get the

image of Kennedy lying on the ground and bleeding out because Echo couldn't heal her out of my head.

As soon as | hear the howls of retreat, | order Kier to make sure they get off our pack lands and I race to the

hospital. | have to see her. | have to know that she’s okay.

| smell the blood before | get to the hospital, and | hear Luna Yara before | get inside.

“WENDY!” Luna Yara's voice is panicked.

| walk inside and see Deborah putting something over Wendy's mouth, Luna Yara’s hands and forearms are

covered in her daughter's blood as she presses something against her wounds. I've never seen Luna Yara like

this. She's always the epitof calm and collected. This time, it’s my mate who remains calm.

“Mom. Mom, look at me!” she says sharply.

When Luna Yara does, Kennedy holds her gaze with quiet confidence.

“What's the rule in our hospital?”

“No one dies,” Luna Yara says, grasping onto the words like they are a lifeline.

“That's right. | need you to trust me, Mom. Lettake care of her. | won't let her die.”

I'm surprised when Luna Yara nods, stepping back.

“Get yourself together, Mom. There are warriors here who need assistance. You focus on them, I'll focus on

Wendy. If | need you, I'll call you.”

Luna Yara nods again and | watch my mate wheel her sister down the hall to the room she treated Lane in.

Her eyes find mine and she looks over my body quickly.

‘Have my mom take a look at you,‘ she says in the mind link, her voice somber as she steps into the room.

| stare for a moment longer after the door closes, then step up to Luna Yara.

“Luna, why don’t you sit down for a moment. Kennedy will look after Wendy.”

She doesn’t respond, still staring at the door where one daughter is trying to save the life of the other. | wrap my

arm around her shoulders, ready to lead her to a chair when Alpha Warren and Alpha Connor race into the

hospital.

“Warren,” she says, losing the battle with her tears. In an instant, she’s in his arm and he’s holding her tightly.

“What happened?” Connor asks me.

I look around and see Henry looking shell-shocked, his body covered in blood. He's staring down the hall where

Kennedy wheeled Wendy. | walk over, crouching in front of where's he’s sitting.

“What happened, Henry?” | ask him gently.

“We got attacked on the way to the hospital. | didn’t have a choice. | had set her down and fight. The whole time

| could smell her bleeding out. Oh goddess, Quirin, she’s just a pup,” he says.

“Look at me. Look at me, Henry.” | wait until he turns his tormented gaze to me

“You did what you needed to do. She's here and alive because of your.”

His eyes shift up and behind me: “I'm so sorry, Connor.”

97%

“Quirin’s right. She's alive because of you. She shouldn't have been on that battlefield to begin with and when

she’s healthy enough, I'm going to kick her ass,” Connor says.

“You'll have to get in line,” Warren growls. He's still holding his mate, but she’s pulling herself together and

wiping her eyes.

“Okay, Kennedy leftin charge out here, so I'm going to make her proud by taking care of your wounds while

she’s working on Wendy. Quirin, you have sgashes on you.”

“Take care of my pack first, please, Luna.” | say to her, standing up from where | was crouching in front of Henry.

“And maybe Henry. I'm not sure how much of this is Wendy’s and how much is his.”

“I'm okay, Luna,” he says, his grief at nearly losing Wendy still obvious in his voice.

She steps forward and takes his face in her hands. “Thank you for saving my daughter's life.”

“I hope I did,” he says, his voice getting thick.

“I needed the reminder myself, but my daughter's right. No one dies in our hospitals.”
