Chapter 125
Betrayed by Blood
The air was thick with tension. The gathered warriors stood before Cain, their eyes hard with determination. The battlefield hadn’t been chosen yet, but the war had already begun the moment Matt made the mistake of going against him.
Cain stood at the front, his presence alone commanding absolute silence. He scanned the faces before him—men and women who had fought for him, killed for him, bled for him. And tonight, they would do it again.
"This is not a fight for mercy," Cain began, his voice carrying across the courtyard, steady and sharp. "This is a war of vengeance. A war of dominance. Matt tried to have me killed, and in doing so, he sealed the fate of every man and woman who stands with him."
A growl of agreement rumbled through the warriors.
"Anyone who stands in our way dies," Cain continued, his voice dropping lower, deadlier. "Burn everything. Spill their blood. Leave no survivors unless I say otherwise."
Another growl, this one louder, more savage. The warriors banged their weapons against their armor, fangs flashing.
"Move out."
At his command, the warriors shifted instantly, bones cracking, bodies contorting as thick fur took over their human forms. The air filled with deep growls as the pack fell into formation, ready to descend upon Silver-moon like a storm.
Cain shifted in an instant, his massive black wolf towering over the rest. His blood-red eyes gleamed dangerously as he threw back his head and let out a bone-chilling howl.
The war had begun.
