On the Ragged Edge of the World

“When an Argenti agent needs to take out a wolf, the wolf very rarely is thoughtful enough to come out in the open. Usually, they’re holed up and laying low. If you can’t flush them out, then you’ve got to go in and get them. It’s not exactly easy, but that’s why those sort of covert operations were usually assigned to the same people.”


In spite of his injuries, Leo was looking increasingly dangerous as his features hardened. “How do you know so much about Argenti?”


“I can show you, or you can focus on what’s important here. Or do you want to be the reason we lose two pack members tonight?” Darren asked.


“We’re not losing anyone else,” Enzo snarled.


“You can leave if you’re going to waste our time, Leo,” Aden said. “But if you go, you can forget about any kind of alliance.”


Leo tensed as if to stand, then pointed a warning finger at Aden. “You’re going to explain all of this when Oliver’s dead.”
