Stunned and infuriated, Merrell showed Jullien and Chrisen the footage from the pit where they’d dumped Batur. Bodies were strewn about like the killing fields left behind after a vicious battle.

His breathing ragged, Talyn, alone, stood.

Barely.

Though he was wobbly, he was on his feet while the rest were either dead, unconscious, or begging for help as they tried to crawl away from Talyn’s reach. In all the years of military service, Merrell had never seen anything like this. It terrified him just how easily Batur had plowed through dozens of ruthless killers and predators. The most vicious criminals Andaria had.

Batur wiped at the blood on his face as he moved to stand in front of the camera to glare at them. When he spoke, it was a raw, feral growl that was even more terrifying than his reckless stance that dared them to come after him. It was also the words that had been spoken by the male who had founded Batur’s paternal lineage almost four thousand years ago at the beginning of Andarion civilization. “A Hauk is not a politician. There is no room in our hearts to sit in peace with those who would do any Andarion harm. We are, and will forever be, protectors of our brethren, family, and homeworld. So long as a single War Hauk lives, no nation will defeat us. No race will dare to invade our air, lands, or sea. We will stand and we will defend. For we are not bred of mercy and we are not bred for peace.

“We are born of fury.

“Forever fear the Warring Blood Clan of Hauk.” Talyn spat blood on the ground. “But most of all, you better fear me, you quivering quims! For every drop of War Hauk blood flowing in my veins, I am of the Winged Blood Clan of Batur and we are born of defiance. When I get out of here, and I will, I’m coming for you. And no one will be able to save any of your putrid lives from my vengeance.”

Chrisen gasped. “We are in deep Andarion shite.”

Jullien rolled his eyes. “You think? Saint Zaran, why didn’t you tell us what he was capable of?”

Chrisen choked as he watched Talyn sit down to tend his wounds. “I had no idea he could do this. He’s always been subservient.”

“No,” Merrell said between clenched teeth. “He was a conscientious soldier, taking orders from his CO. And a vicious Ring champion. Our mistake was to forget all that in our arrogance.” He looked from his brother to Jullien. “We can’t control him. He is the only fucking War Hauk of his generation, with all the insane skill and strength that goes with that untainted bloodline.”

Jullien lifted his chin. “We’re still tizirani. And I am tahrs.”

Merrell gestured at the bodies scattered around Talyn, who sat with a terrifying calmness. “Yeah, that so stopped him. You’re lucky he didn’t make it to you before your guards stunned him unconscious.”

Chrisen let out a heavy sigh. “As
