Eighteen years ago, the Blood Creek Pack was attacked by a neighboring pack and lost half the lives of its members.

 

Xavier, the current Alpha of Blood Creek Pack, was six years old when this attack took place. He lost his family and close friends along with his best friend, Daphne, who he thinks died in the attack.

 

What happened when he goes back for revenge and finds out that Daphne is still very much alive? Also, she happens to be his mate and he just killed her adoptive father.

Standing in the dimly lit room, I watched Zara. She was trembling, her lips parted as if she wanted to speak, but no words came. She'd talked big just a moment ago, but now... nothing. I waited, silently counting the seconds as her courage drained away. I expected her to act on the bold statements she'd made, to prove that the fire she had shown earlier wasn't just a flicker in the wind, but instead, all she did was shake.


I turned to Kyle, his face unreadable as he stood beside me. "Tell me," I said, my voice calm but carrying a weight behind it, "what's the punishment for anyone who speaks ill of their Alpha?"


His expression didn't change, but his eyes flickered toward Zara, then back to me. He didn't hesitate as he answered. "The punishment, Alpha, is to cut off parts of their body. Piece by piece." His voice was steady, unaffected by the cruelty of his words, as if it were just another routine piece of information.
