She barred her teeth at him and lunged against her silver-laced tethers.

“We have been through this thirty times,” Hix said tolerantly. His shirt was torn, and he had some bloody bite marks from where she had managed to squirm and rip into his skin with her teeth, but he now had her tied up nicely in a little bow. She could just squirm and snap at him from her place in the passenger seat.

“Twenty-seven,” she growled. She flipped hair out of her face. Her head pounded, and her brain was a little foggy. “You gave me a concussion, you piece of shit.”

Hix ignored her.

“Why are you taking me to SableFur’s heart?” she asked around her split lips. “There’s no reward coming your way.”

Hix ignored her.

Lulu scrunched herself against the car door. “Come on, big guy, what’s this about? Nobody’s going to care you found me. Marcus is already dead as a traitor.”

“Your testimony was what the Oracles used to dishonor Luna Gianna,” Hix said calmly. “If everyone in SableFur knows you’re a Hunter implanted into MarchMoon that’s exactly what I need.”

“So what? Everyone knows I was there.” She shoved her feet up onto the dash and rolled her eyes.

“Exactly. I know Marcus served two masters. Alpha Aaron of IceMaw had him send the petitioner to IronMoon, and once the petitioner returned with his fake question—because he was just there to test how easily Alpha Gabel would grant access to Luna Gianna—and you sent all that information back to Magnes. Alpha Magnes used you to ensnare and discredit an enemy Luna, knowing it would weaken his rival. I cannot free my Luna, but I can shame your Alpha.”

“They’ll never let you leave alive.”

“No, they won’t. But you’ll be dead before then,” Hix said.

“Don’t threaten me, big boy.”

“The only reason you are not dead is that having a dead body in the truck bed would be conspicuous. I do not actually need nor want you alive.”

Lulu pushed back more against the car door. “You’re serious.”

Hix did not reply.

“How about I start telling you what I know?”

“It does not matter. I will be killed and never be able to give the information back to IronMoon.”

“You crazy fuck, you think Magnes will let you die? You’ll get tortured for every piece of information you’ve got in that thick skull of yours!”

“I have seen Alpha Gabel wield pain like a weapon,” Hix said. “Your Magnes cannot possibly be worse than the Moon’s Dark Comet.”

“Is that what he’s calling himself now?”

“That is what he is, and that’s why Magnes is so afraid to face him openly.”

“That’s a lie! Magnes doesn’t give two shits about that snaggle-toothed pup.”

“Ask the Moon Herself. I will send you to Her quite soon.”

“You don’t have the balls,” Lulu sneered.

“I promise to make it quick and painless. Your suffering doesn’t interest me.”

“Whatever you say.”

Hix kept driving.
