Caden’s POV
My shirt is sticking to my skin and the stench from the room is starting to be unbearable but he
still isn’t talking. I’m not done with him so I’m not giving up yet. Sooner orter, he’s going to sing like a
bird.
I take the rod that is burning in the fire the same one that Alex was using on him and close up the
wound, scrunching my nose as the smell of burning flesh feels the air. Doing this helps the bleeding to
stop and makes the wound heal faster.
Done with the knife, I walk back to the table and dispose of the b lo o d y knife, knowing that someone
is going toe in here once I’m done and all these items will be cleaned up for my next visit. We can’t
risk him getting an infection and dying before I’m ready to end his life. That won’t be good.
Running my fingers through the weapons again, I smile as my eyes catch a chainsaw. Picking it up. I
hold it in my hand to get a feel of it and smile again when it fits perfectly in my hand. It’s like it was
made just for
me.
Decision made, I start walking back to the chair and his eyes bulge out once he catches the new
present I have for him. “N-no,” he cries out but still doesn’t bolt out of his chair or try to escape out of
the door that isn’t locked. “I-I can’t take any more of this. His eyes hold mine, pleading with me to put
him out of his misery. “Please, just kill me. Kill me!”
I click my tongue, shaking my head at him. “My mate is still lying on my bed and as long as she’s
unconscious, there’s no death for you. There’s no harm in telling the man what exactly lies in his future.
“I’m notpletely unreasonable though. If you were to give me what I want, I might just consider
letting you rest for the rest of the day without another visit for me.”
His eyes widen at those words and I see the wheels turning in his head. Not having another visit from
me for the whole day is probably the definition of paradise for him.
“I’ll t-talk,” he says, his shoulder dropping in defeat. “Please, just stop hurting me.”
Chuckling, I walk closer to him. “The information you give to me is what is going to determine that?” I’m
not so stu p d to believe whateveres out of his mouth. I’m going to have my investigation
conducted and if what he says is true then I might just consider letting him rest for the day. “Start
talking” I stand in front of him, the chainsaw still in my hand to remind him of what’s at stake here. If I
get a whiff of deceit for him then this chainsaw is going into his bones.
“We got our orders from. Jude.” The fear in his eyes is clear as day when he utters that name.
“Who is Jude?” I’vee across several persons bearing that name. There’s no way for us to know
who he is with such amon name and if that’s the only leverage that this man has then this day is
about to be a very long day for him.
“He’s the Beta of Silver Wood Pack”
Silver Wood Pack. It’s one of the few packs that we haven’t visited yet. It was meant to be the next

our list.
My blood runs cold. “The Beta?” 1 echo, wondering if I might have heard him wrong. Could this Beta be
the one that we’re been searching for all these days? Could Alessia and my life be linked in some sort
of way?
He nods, looking sick and I tentatively step back, not wanting to get in the crossroad of another hauling.
“Alessia’s father is the Alpha of the pack and Jude wants that position. He’s willing to do anything to get
it.” His fear increases tremendously, enough for me to smell the stench of it on him. He’s such a
weakling.
My mind is racing from all this new information. So many pieces of the puzzle are falling into ce, but
I have a few questions for him. Questions that will determine just how much this Jude deserves the hell
that’sing his way.
“Has this Jude ever sent out a rogue attack on any pack in the past?” My heart stills as I wait for an
answer that I already know.
“Yes.” He nods frantically, now eager to give the information that he was previously holding onto so
tightly. “He nned to attack the neighboring packs, take over control and with the fighters that he a m
a s e s, he nned to then attack his pack and kill the Alpha.”
The Silver Wood Pack had previously been thergest and most powerful pack in the region. Not
anymore though. My pack has taken over that position recently and as I think over it, I understand
Jude’s reasoning. Take out the little packs first and then use his army to take out the big pack. Except
that his n failed. He didn’t take out my pack. He tried his d a m n e s t but we fought hard until the
very end and are still bearing the losses. Losses that were caused by him.
I breathe harshly through my nose, forcing the memories to not resurface. “Why does he keeping
after Alessia?” I know she’s the Alpha’s daughter but if his ns didn’t work out before then how does
killing Alessia feature into any other n that he has?
“She’s the only thing standing in his way.” A pause. “He’s slowly poisoning her father and the only thing
that will stop him from iming the Alpha position is Alessiaing back to im her birthright.”
