"We made our way there as fast as we could, but we didn't make it in time." His voice falters. "The assassins had already done away with the wolves that were shadowing you."
He pauses for a second, a second that felt like an eternity to me.
"By the time we got there, we found Darius amongst the assassins, and, he had already killed... your brother...and, your mother." He pauses again, and this time, I actually needed it.
Hearing all this is a knife to my heart, repeatedly.
I lack the strength to speak, but I force a whisper out of my lips.
"why?" I ask, desperately seeking the answer.
"Your pack Abigail, your pack, has the incredible Instinct, to reach within any person. And do a number of things, most people say the power of the Charon pack is limitless."
"And that is why Darius had us killed off like rats? Because of some fairytale?"
I get up, walking away from Elias, so he won't see the tears flowing down my eyes.
