Chapter Four

They moved quickly and efficiently. In five minutes, Viktor had managed to secure the most important items in his house: the papers from his safe and a gun he rarely used. Kai also scanned the house and took a small, sharp knife from the kitchen, claiming he preferred to be prepared for anything that might happen.

Heading towards the broken alarm, Viktor attempted to fix it.

After several failed attempts, Kai pushed Viktor away, smiling and muttering under his breath about incapable werewolves. It was endearing, and it made Viktor feel a little more optimistic about what he needed to do.

The garage door opened with a smooth sound as they climbed into Viktor’s blue truck. In spite of the fact that he preferred his bike as a mode of transport, Viktor did own a Chevrolet Silverado. He knew it wasn’t the beautiful sports car preferred by most, but it suited his needs. On this particular occasion, the Silverado proved to be particularly useful, especially seeing as his bike remained out for the count.

Reversing into the cool evening air, he realized the violent torrential rain from earlier faded to a drizzle. As they drove, the dented metal and broken glass of the buildings and vehicles around them reminded Viktor of how cruel nature could be. Ice pellets on the ground crunched beneath the wheels of the car as they drove over them. It was almost unnerving to see how the world practically disappeared under the onslaught of nature. Viktor had too much on his mind to really care about that.

His mate seemed to have lost himself deep in thought again, his eyes distant and vacant. “You were supposed to be my last kill,” Kai whispered almost inaudibly. The comment came so out of the blue that Viktor almost jumped in reaction to it.

“Jamari promised me that if I killed you, he’d let me leave the Guild. I have wanted to leave the Guild for so long it seemed like a dream come true, and I was so close to achieving it. But I couldn’t do it.”

Kai seemed so frustrated it made Viktor’s blood chill in his veins.

His inner wolf knew that Kai had been a killer and didn’t care, but it didn’t change the fact that there were still things between them, things that needed to be talked about, sorted out.

“Are you sorry for that?” he whispered, unable to keep the hurt from his voice.

“Of courssse not. How can you sssay that? ” Kai’s gold-onyx eyes glared at him filled with heated fury, and Viktor’s inner wolf stirred, yearning to stoke a fire of an entirely different nature. Before he could act on the impulse surging within him, Kai’s shoulders slumped and his voice turned broken and dejected. “I jussst…I jussst wish thingsss were different.”

Yet again, Viktor found himself struggling to find words of comfort. Unlike in Flame’s case, they somehow came, flowing from the love he felt for his mate. “Kai, it’s all right. We’re together now. I won’t ever—”

“No! I’m not sssorry I killed him, Viktor.
