“Rain, take the kids somewhere safe, would you?”

The witch snapped her fingers and smirked as their submissives, Clary, and the kids vanished.

Now Arthur’s pleasant demeanor had completely disappeared.

“I get that you’re not used to being told no,” Rye said. “But you’ll never get one of your fucking greasy fingers on Lola, or any other one of our kids. Ever. Now it’s up to you. You can turn back, and stay out of our way, or we can end this here and now.”

She was pretty certain the man would actually choose the second option, before Rye added, “You might want to know, though, we also have a hundred people ready to burn the fuck out of your territory. That’s what you’d planned to do with ours, isn’t it?”

The Alpha blanched, making him smile.

“You’re welcome to burn our empty, fully insured house. We’ll settle down elsewhere. But moving five hundred and twenty seven adults, as well as three hundred and four kids from the home they’ve inhabited for seven generations might be a little bit more of an issue, I’m sure.”

Coveney had come through with plenty of intel.

The Vergas Alpha walked forward, but his sons grabbed his arms, and leaned in to whisper, evidently attempting to reason with him.

Finally, he turned to them, rage evident in his eyes.

“This isn’t over.”

“Isn’t it?” Byron asked, his beaming voice full of humor. “Because I’m telling you right now: you attack my son again? I’ll take it as a personal offense against our crown. I’ll come down on you with everything I’ve got.”

Yeah… he might seem a little gruff and all, but Ace didn’t mind her mate’s father.

But if she loved the dad, she completely adored the grandmother.

“Excuse me?” a sweet little frail voice interjected, as the Alpha wolf began to retreat.

They all turned to the petite old lady with long silver hair, who was pointing past the Alpha, towards Kim.

“That filthy piece of shit. We want it. Consider it our due for letting you go without declaring war on your ass, will you?”

The wolf growled, but he nodded towards Hunter, who went to grab the traitor, and pushed her their way.

“Why, thank you so much, you pack of savages.” Then, she smiled up to Ace and said, “I have a brilliant idea. We can chain her to a tree and get everyone to piss on her before letting her twin rip her throat out.”

See? The lady was brilliant. But as entertaining as the visual might have been, Ace had a better idea in mind.

“Actually, I think we should let her go.”

Everyone turned to her, staring like she might have lost her mind.

She just smirked, recalling how hard it had been to make it out there on her own.

“We will, of course, notify the human authorities, and the shifter Council that she’s been accused of treason in her pride.”

In other words, she would been seen as a piece of trash by shifters, and as a convict by human authorities. The woman was majorly screwed for the rest of her days, just like she deserved to be.

A quick death would have been too kind.

Epilogue

Mates

Rye didn’t thinkanything could smooth down the issues he had with his family. They’d been too quick to dismiss him during his childhood, and too quick to turn their back on one of their own later in life.

He hadn’t realized that when Coveney was proven innocent, they’d all felt like shit. They’d spent the last six years trying to find a way to reach out to him, without success. His asking for help had come as a surprise, and they’d jumped on the chance.
