Molaki was pleading now with his opponent, who was becoming more frantic and more weak at the same time. The silence from the village stayed, barely anyone even daring to breath, except for two stifled sobbing voices.
He knew they had to be Zylo's mate and daughter. It was enough for the wolf to almost let Zylo go, and if he didn't have Asta, he would have. The knowledge that there were two souls in his own pack that were having their hearts ripped in two because of him, that all he had to do was let their loved one take a breath before it was too late, almost clouded his objective. His training.
But he then snapped back into the cold reality - Zylo had tried to kill his own mate. He ambushed Molaki instead of starting the challenge on even footing. The chance that mercy shown to the silver wolf would be turned into a further betrayal was too high.
