Chapter 45: Your Death Wish Is Granted

Cyran POV

His shoulder still stung, but he couldn’t feel it.

He couldn’t feel anything through the shock that squeezed the breath out of him, and the heart that shattered. His entire body froze.

“WHAT?”

Garnet howled with fury. “I wondered! I wondered all along. I thought someone was behind it.”

Every Crimsontail stood in shock. Dane was ashen. Kyon looked like you could tap him and he’d fall over. Tulaska’s eyes glittered with outrage. Dirge and Patch unsheathed their claws and their teeth sharpened. They all felt the violation as if it had happened to them. They were all shifters. 

To deliberately assassinate a beloved Alpha and Luna was unthinkable. That was the sort of thing other kingdoms did–that HUMANS did. Shifters had evolved beyond that kind of cold-blooded brutality. Even family members who wanted the throne would never dare because justice would be swift and merciless. 

It was nothing less than an act of war against all shifters, and so justice would be served.
