Chapter 71: A Simple Plan

*Zariah*

“It’s pretty simple,” Alpha Kradick says to me as I walk out behind him. My hands are still cuffed together, but my legs are free, so at least I’m not tripping every few steps as we head out of the little cottage and into the main part of town. “I lost my mate, so now, Alpha Micah is going to watch his die, and then he’s going to die, too.”

“Right,” I say as I meet his eyes. He keeps turning around to look at me as he talks, like he thinks I’m stupid enough to try and outrun him. Even if my front paws wouldn’t still be linked together and I hadn’t been drugged up and hit in the head recently, I’m not stupid enough to think I could outrun an Alpha. “That is simple.”

He twerks and eyebrow at me, like he thinks it’s astonishing that I’ve agreed with him.

“What?” I ask him. “You’re right. Simple. And I wouldn’t expect anything more from you either.” I say the words with confidence, almost as if they are a compliment.
