EPILOGUE
In all the centuries, Velkan had never bothered with the Order. He'd left them alone to run
amok without his interference. But all that was about to end.
They'd threatened Esperetta and had almost killed her. Now that he had his wife back, he
wasn't about to let anyone take her from him again.
Without preamble, he used his powers to open the door to Dieter's home. Velkan strode
through the doorway as if he owned it. Dieter and Stephen looked up with a gasp, as did
five other men.
And before Velkan could move, an arrow was shot at his chest. He caught it in his fist and
tossed it to the floor. "Don't even try that again," he snarled.
"W-what are you doing here?" Dieter said as a fine sheet of sweat appeared on his
forehead.
Velkan pinned each member there with a hostile glare that should adequately cow them. "I'm
here to bury the proverbial ax. Where exactly I bury it is entirely up to you. Either we can bury
it in the ground and let bygones be bygones or I can bury it in the heart and head of every
one of you here. Either way, the persecution of my wife and her friend stops now."
Dieter stiffened. "You don't come in here and order us about."
Velkan shot a blast that knocked him off his feet. "Be smart. Take the out I'm offering you. I
promised Esperetta that I wouldn't be a barbarian anymore. So I'm trying to be civilized
about this and let you live even though the warlord inside me would rather I bathe in all your
entrails."
"We are swornâ"
"Save it," Velkan snapped, cutting Dieter off. "I was one of the members of this Order five
hundred years ago and I know the oath you've all taken. And I've taken a new one. The next
man or beast who threatens my wife or my servants will not live to regret that stupidity. Is that
understood?"
He waited until each man had nodded.
Velkan took a deep breath. "Good. Now that we have an accord, I'll leave you in peace."
Turning toward the door, Velkan caught sight of something from the corner of his eye.
Before he could react, a single gunshot rang out.
He snapped his head toward a corner of the room where Esperetta stood with Raluca,
Francesca, Viktor, and Andrei.
Esperetta was holding the gun in her hands. Her eyes were narrowed on the men in the
room. "Anyone else want to try and go for my husband's back?"
Velkan looked to see Dieter lying on the floor with a single gunshot in his chest. Stunned,
Velkan met Esperetta's gaze.
She didn't speak as she moved forward to take his hand while the wolves stood their
ground. "Gentlemen," she said quietly. "I think most of you have met Illie's family and I
believe they'd like a word with you. Alone."
Stephen came to his feet. "Rettaâ¦"
"Save it, Stephen. You already told me what I needed to know."
Velkan wasn't sure what he should do, but as Esperetta pulled him from the house, he
followed. And as soon as the door was closed behind him, he heard the screams of the
