Chapter 8

A hiss escaped through my clenched teeth. Lager's cabin. The man who'd taken everything from me and would kill me without hesitation, whether there were now four fingers on his hand or not.

"How do you know?" I asked in a voice much calmer than I felt.

"I can smell him, for one," Archer said.

That sickly sweet honey scent. Wolves likely smelled it much stronger than I did.

"And for two?"

"There's a child's drawing on the desk inside the northwest window. It very clearly states all the members of the family. The Lager family."

The map we'd taken from Old Man's Den had led us right to Lager's family. Did he even know we had it?

"He's a fucking fool, then," Grady rumbled, reading my thoughts exactly. "What kind of man circles a target over their family?"

"He's new here. My baba said he came from the south and decided to settle in once he heard about our poison." I adjusted the quiver on my back and headed downhill, my muscles tensed for battle, my fingers itching to loose an arrow straight into Lager's eye. "Still, though. He’s a fucking fool."

"Whoa." Archer dodged in front of me and slipped his hand around my waist, pulling me to a stop. "His family is there, Aika."

"And what about my family?" I wrenched myself free, fury ripping up my throat. "Jade and Lee… Would he have sold his own goddamn family into slavery? He had no right. He had no right to do everything he did, and I wish I could take the bullet he shot Baba with and shoot his cock right the fuck off."

"We know," Archer said. "We know exactly how you feel, but it wasn't Lager's wife or kid who did this to you."

“Then they need to know what he's really like," I fired back.

"Don't be blinded by your vengeance," Grady told me.

"I can see it plain as day,” I shouted. “This is what you thought of me, isn't it? Baba's daughter, the poisoner. You wanted to kill me, too, didn't you? As soon as you found out what I was. How is me going to Lager’s cabin any different?"

"You're no killer," he said through gritted teeth.

"Watch me." I jerked out of Archer’s grip and slipped my way down another hill, tapping the snow with the end of my bow.

My wolves didn’t try to stop me, but I felt them nearby, always present.

My bow smacked the edge of a cabin, and I hit it softly against it until I found the door. I banged my fist against it then stepped back to nock my arrow and aim. Rage steamed from my nostrils as I waited, oblivious to any storm but the one raging inside me. I'd get the shot. I didn't need eyes to kill Lager. I needed just me.

My heart blasted into my rib cage, a familiar sensation when I was the prey. Only this time I was the predator.

The door creaked open.

The bow string bit into my raw fingertips and slicked them with blood.
