ZINA
The Pack coroners came in to take away Freya's body that seemed to be setting with Rigor Mortis quicker than possible. They managed to pull out Zina's staff from where it was embedded in Freya's chest, and Marcus took it from them, examining the staff with narrowed eyes.
Before the thing could be any more out in the open, Zina grabbed it from his grasp although her success might be attributed to the fact that Marcus held it loosely.
He raised an eyebrow at her as if to ask her to explain why the staff she had deemed missing was now an instrument of murder… murder because even a blind man could tell from the manner in which the staff had been embedded in Freya's chest that it was far from suicide.
Her mother's warning simply repeated in her head, and it only filled her with dread.
