"Cute. You actually think you can do that." Roan smirked. "But let's talk about why I have weapons instead of just hanging your sorry asses out to dry." He grabbed a rifle from a chest along the wall and yanked out the magazine. "See these? The bullets hurt like hell. So guess what: bullets with a touch of magic? They're not even hell. They won't just maybe kill you in a shot. They'll blow your tiny little mind to bits and every other part of you. Once it goes in, you come out dead. And if you're extra lucky, you'll get one that makes you burn, every nerve melting away while you're conscious. It kills soldiers real nice."

Roan reattached the magazine and returned the gun to the chest. "And, oh yeah, I can make any weapon hurt a hundred times more than it usually does, and that much more lethal." His voice grew louder as he waved a finger at them. "But sure, go on, just piss all over the freak. Make him into an enemy. Throw him out. Bash his head in. Make it abundantly clear that he's a piece of shit who doesn't deserve to exist. Then you can go fuck yourselves."

Before anyone could retort, Roan walked away.

"Roan!" Jace rushed from the tent.

Cayra caught Jace's arm, jerking him to a stop. "Wait. Don't." Behind her, Dixon and Gin watched from several feet away, pointing at Jace.

Jace struggled to escape Cayra. Roan disappeared around a tent and out of his sight. "Cay, I have to—"

"Shh, I know." Cayra pulled him into her. "Don't. You're pissed. He's pissed. You'll get nothing but a shouting match. It won't make either of you feel better. Let me talk to him." She gripped his shoulders. "We've been getting to know each other better. I think I can calm him down. You can talk to him later once you've calmed down." Peering around him into the tent, she scowled. "Without killing the rest of them, of course."

"But he—"

"Is being devoured by the wolves. I know. I told you it wasn't going to be easy." Cayra grasped his chin, keeping his face close to hers. "I'll go. I have to tell him I want to talk to him, anyway. I'm serious. We need to talk, all of us, tonight. This doesn't change that."

Jace stopped struggling. The cold feeling washed over him again, tempering the heat of his anger. He felt sick, fighting to stand. Suddenly it all made sense.

The sentries wanted him to get rid of Roan. With Cayra's help, they could soon get their wish.
