~CASSELBA'S POV
"HELL NO!" Caden booms from my side. When I turn to him, his lovely brown eyes speak volumes.
"Cassie," he continues. "...please, you don't need to do anything he says. You don't need to stand by archaic traditions of werewolf combat."
"Yeah," Ryan adds from beside him. "Just say the word and we'll blast this murderer's head to pieces."
Inwardly, as I stare at both Caden and Ryan, I know they speak the truth. I didn't need to accept Hiram's challenge to fight one on one with him. A single fired bullet could end the bastard where he stood. Once and for all.
But...
My wolf doesn't agree. She wants pure revenge. She wants me...us to be the one that sink our teeth into Hiram's neck. She wants to be the one to hear his blood rush out as he takes his final breath.
