“What would be the point?” Talon countered. “From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t matter if he’s the alpha’s son. If he’s weak enough to be captured, he deserves death. They wouldn’t want him back.”
“My son has a point.” Kastner pressed his foot against the werewolf’s back. He collapsed against the dirt. “Roll over.”
After a long moment, the werewolf did. He spat at Kastner’s shoe.
The alpha flicked it off, back at him. “Do you have anything to share for us other than saliva?”
The werewolf jumped up, staggered, and lunged toward Talon. Before he could take another step, Misti picked up a large rock, so big she had to use two hands, and slammed it on the top of his head. The Shadowed Star collapsed again, his body twitching then stilling.
Talon stared at her, his face unreadable. Then he smiled widely. “You do have a knife on you.”
Tia had provided her and Anders with knives before they had left the camp.
She shrugged. “I didn’t want to bloody the blade already,” she said airily. Actually, she had forgotten about it.
She dropped the rock onto the ground. Her hands were dirty. The first wound almost looked like hers, except smaller. Definitely not a knife cut. Talon’s hands were clean, though. He hadn’t been the one to fight the werewolf.
Before she could ask what had happened, the two werewolves who had departed at Kastner’s growl returned, dragging a woman between them. She was breathing as they laid her at their alpha’s feet, but she died before he could get his first question out.
“Spies.” Talon spat.
Kastner glanced at Misti. “Marching was the right course. Either we would have brought the fight to them, or they would have brought the fight to us.”
If that was the case, wouldn’t it have been smarting to force them to march to their compound? But Misti wasn’t about to argue. Her heart was still racing from the high of killing. Wolves were predators, and killing stirred their blood.
It also made them horny.
Her first thought was of Anders. No. She had to forget him.
Still, she glanced behind. To her surprise, Anders was in sight. He nodded toward her and waved.
His hands were dirty.
She waved back.
His grin told her he knew what she had done, and she answered with a smile to let him know she guessed what he had done.
They were still on the same wavelength.
Misti forced herself to turn back around. Yes, she would rather have Anders at her back than Talon. Fair or not, her heart already belonged to another.
Once she was claimed by Talon, though, her heart wouldn’t matter. Her body would belong to him.
