Chapter 87
Kane’s POV
The door shrieked open on reluctant hinges, the sound too loud in the thick silence of the night
The second the gap widened, the scent hit me like a wall…
Blood, Sweat.
Him!
He was here!
F**king finally!
I lunged inside first, Kion right behind me
—
fangs bared, muscles tight, rage consuming all else.
Dimitri turned to us wide eyed.
but it didn’t matter now.
Naked and completely vulnerable.
He had been sprawled out on a mattress of filthy blankets in the corner of the container, his pale, scar–smeared skin glistening in the dim flicker of the oil
lamp.
When the door first opened, his back was half–turned to us, and the moment he heard the door being forced open, he shot up like a startled animal.
His eyes met my wolf’s, wide and disbelieving.
“Chto eto? Kion, eto ty?!” He began, his hands flying toward the floor where a pile of clothing lay.
But I was already airborne.
My paws struck him square in the chest with the full force of my wolf’s weight behind them, slamming him backwards so hard that the mattress skidded across the metal floor. He let out a choked grunt, the air blasted from his lungs as he hit the wall with a dull clang.
He tried to shift – his eyes glowing, bones twitching beneath skin – but I snarled loudly and brought my jaws down hard, clamping across his shoulder and sinking in deep to distract him – dislocating his shoulder.
There would be no escape this time…
Kion shifted back, his heavy breaths fogging up the already stifling air inside the container.
“Chto eto znachit? Ty sovershil ser’yeznuyu oshibku, vtorgnuvshis‘ v moyu stayu, Kion!” Dimitri hurled around and yelled out from the pain, as Kion just watched on.
“Let’s not be rude to our friend, Dimitri! Use your English tongue to keep him in the loop here?!” Kion hummed mockingly, as Dimitri’s wild eyes found mine again.
“Who is this bastard you’ve brought with you to fight your own damn battle? Get him the fuck off me!‘ Dimitri snarled loudly, as I pressed my paw in to the

fresh bite mark I had left–reminding him that I could cause far worse if tested.
Dimitri screamed out again in Russian, then in English- his voice breaking as he thrashed from underneath my hold.
“This bastard Dimitri, is the strongest Alpha from his home land, and you only had to go and piss him off there too, didn’t you?!‘ Kion continues, as Dimitri
stares back at him in disbelief as though he was the one who had lost his mind in all of this…
“I do not know what you mean!” He argues, teeth snared in a fury.
How could such a large man look so small? I thought to myself, staring over him as I waited for Kion to fill in the blanks for him.
“You took his human from him… Because you just had to send your scouts out to other parts of the world to find new victims, didn’t you? Becoming greedy? That’s always been your problem – fucking greed!” Kion retorted, his accent thick but his words landing in perfect English nonetheless.
Dimitri looked stunned at first, but before he could utter a word, Kion stepped in again:
“You better believe this Alpha made it his mission to track you down Dimitri, and luckily for me, he offered the support of his entire pack to help us take you down for your crimes here on Russian soil! You’ve practically ruined the entire system of this country – all for your own greed!” Kion waved his arms around as he spoke, before Dimitri yelled loudly-
“Bullshit! That is all bullshit! Whatever this man has told you, is a lie! I do not know your human either!” Dimitri attempted next, growing desperate now having probably realised that none of his men were coming to help him…
Kion began rambling again – this time going between Russian and English, bringing up the ghosts of their past together in a vicious rant.
–
My adrenaline began to ease ever so slightly knowing that we had him cornered, as I relaxed just enough to pick up on a sniffling sound coming from the far
corner…
I flickered my gaze sideways for a split second- and my stomach convulsed at the sight.
There, hunched up and trembling, was another woman- over her head like a civilian during a bombing raid.
completely covered in bruises and blood, her face turned fully to the wall, arms locked tightly up
My chest burned. Not with fury this time, but with grief.
She was hiding from him and now from us too. Terrified of what would become of her next.
How many innocent females had he done this to? How many had he broken down like this?
But then, the thought suddenly dawned on me…
How close was he to doing this to my Tessa?
My human?
My love…
With that thought, a rippling growl left me, causing Dimitri’s mouth to fall open in shock horror at the sound – cutting them both off.
My wolf encouraged me to rip him apart, to savour his head as a war trophy of what would happen to men like him – here or back home – for taking my
mate!

Chapter 87
I have done nothing to this man or any human he knows! Dimitri spat, attempting again to get me off of him but it was uselest, as I sliced my pew accums his bare chest earning another agony filled yell.
Another voice crackled through in my mind next
Seth.
Four down. Two left. Was he in there?! He questions through our mind–link, as I push him aside for now.
I knew they were doing ok, as I focused my ears on the sounds of violence being spilled from outside of the container – inaris and flesh being ripped
apart…
If Seth had a spare minute to send me a link, then he has shit under control!
‘When my allies catch wind of this pathetic attack of yours, your pack will be done for Kion! As goes for this mutt too I will destroy every last park of yours back home, mark my words!” he hissed, his temper snapping completely as he attempted to shift but couldn’t due to the loss of blood spilled from
hìm…
Right now, he was weak, probably something he wasn’t used to being… and I couldn’t help but thrive on the feeling of causing it.
“Shift back now, Kane,” Kion said through gritted teeth, stepping forward with barely controlled restraint. “Let me have him – brother to brother.”
But I struggled at first to give him up, knowing how close he had come to ruining my fucking life the second he took Tessa from me.
I could rip out his throat right now.
Take vengeance for myself like the true Alpha I am.
But I didn’t.
I let him go.
I had to.
I knew that this man had done far worse to Kion and his people.
This wasn’t my fight to end.
It was his…
