It died almost as immediately as it had appeared.
And all that happened next was Grey saying, “I’m going to fucking kill Tadhg.”
He disappeared in the next instant.
“Fuck,” Cael breathed. “Fuck!”
I caught his intentions in his mind just as he followed Grey.
“They’re going back to Blood Sector,” I told Lorcan. “I’ll message you as soon as I know something.”
“Likewise,” he said, referring to Night Sector.
I shadowed in a blink, going right to Kieran’s office.
Where I discovered it covered in shattered glass and blood.
Ivana’s terrified scent lingered in the air, causing my wolf to rage inside me.
I snarled her name, my mind instantly locating hers.Where are you?I growled.
Quinn and I are locked in a safe room in her nest.
A part of me relaxed. Not entirely, just marginally.Are you hurt?
I’m okay. But Kieran?—
Are you hurt?I repeated. Because I could smell her blood in the air.
I’m fine, Cillian. Go help Kieran!
My grin felt feral on my face. If Ivana was issuing demands, then she really was okay.
But someone had made her bleed.
Someone had to pay.
Who hurt you?I demanded.
Oh my Gods, Cillian, go?—
Who?I echoed, ensuring she felt the impatience underlining that single word.
Granger,she whispered, her submission a gift I cherished in that moment.
Because I’d needed that name.
He will die,I promised as I shadowed to the street outside.
Kieran stood in the middle of the road, his suit in tatters, his dark eyes glowing as he focused on Tadhg.
Fucking traitor, I thought, glaring at the bald Prince of Alpha Sector. Soon to be theformerPrince of Alpha Sector. Because Kieran looked ready to rip him apart.
If Tadhg noticed my arrival, he didn’t show it, his entire focus on Kieran.
“You dare attack me, the V-Clan King, in my own fucking home?” he seethed. “And you think to try to touch my Queen? My Omega?My fucking mate?”
The entire fucking sector shook beneath Kieran’s growl, his power emanating with such ferocity that it made it hard to breathe.
