Chapter 125-3
“Fine. I would like to get some sleep,” she muttered and turned and flounced out.
“And here I thought she loved guarding you,” Saul joked softly.
“I think everyone has been stretched a little thin since I fell into a coma and Troy turned into a
monster. Speaking of monsters…”
“You’re worried that you’re going to turn into one,” Finn finished. His eyes narrowed. “It wasn’t all
that hard to put two-and-two together when Troy gave Amelia the list of names to run. He thinks
someone out there still wants to use you.”
I shook my head. “Morven is dead. I’ve thought about it a hundred times. It has to be his pack.
How else would he and Ragor have known each other? Anyway, I’m worried that I’m not just a
weapon. I’m a little worried that it’s just…me. Someone powerful went through a lot of trouble to
lock up what’s inside of me.”
Saul turned from his desk, and Finn straightened. My heart skipped a beat as I stared at the two of
them. “You don’t owe me anything,” I whispered. A lump was forming in my throat, and I cleared it out. “You don’t owe me anything. If anything, I owe both of you. You’ve both saved my life…”
“No flattery needed, Kiana. Just come out and say what you want to say so we can get this
distasteful conversation over with,” Saul said flatly.
“You know?”
“I know you,” Saul sighed. “I know how much guilt you carry and how much fear. Troy came to
retrieve the journals I kept safe but did not read. I don’t want you to think that I’ve pushed too far into your boundaries. He’s told me a little bit about what you went through, and what the Crone
said.”
“If it comes to that…” my voice cracked.
Finn growled. “It won’t.”
“You don’t know that. You don’t. Maybe it was just jealousy or maybe she really can see the future. If it comes to that, I don’t think Troy can do it. I don’t think Troy can do anything to hurt me, and I’ve seen what happens if a wolf kills his mate. If I’m hurting people, then I’m not me anymore. I need the two of you to swear that if I become some kind of monster, you’ll put me down before I do too much damage. Please.”
Saul took a deep breath and nodded shortly. “Fine.”
I looked over at Finn. I could tell that he was struggling with it. “Finn, please.”

“It’s not going to come to that, Kiana, but if it does, and there is no other option, I’ll do it,” he said finally.
Relief swept through me. I had their word. It was as good as their bond. There was a safeguard.
It would have to be enough.
A knock sounded on the door, and Willa appeared. She didn’t look nearly as tired or pissed as before. “Cat nap?” I asked.
“I’ve already called Troy. Amelia has found something.”
