Chapter 108: Sights
When the last Crow fell dead, the Snow Wolves rejoined Elian and Bianca, who were resting on a bench in silence.
"Daughter, it is done. There are many who saw us; should I end them all?"
"No, Mom—what you did was plenty. Thank you."
Silent approached and nuzzled her daughter tenderly, "Child, Whisper told me of the hardship you endured thanks to these vile people. Give me the word, I will not rest till each one of them is destroyed." She then turned to Elian, "You’ll help me, won’t you, son-in-law?"
"Of course, Mother-in-law. Should we get started?"
Pleased, Silent licked Elian’s cheek in gratitude, "Not yet. Let them stew for a bit. With you terrorizing them, let them feel my daughter’s suffering. I personally will make it my mission to eradicate them."
"Mom, we need them..."
"Do we?" Silent asked. She then shook her head, "No, we do not. We only need what they can give you. Give me time, Daughter. I will learn everything needed to protect you from these sinister plots. And when I gain that knowledge, none shall hurt you ever again," she growled.
Silent was by far the kindest of their party. So, when Elian saw the rage in her eyes, he knew these Crow bastards were beyond saving. Which suited him just fine.
Bianca’s eyes glazed as she nodded. It was a mixture of gratitude and affection—despite what she considered a colossal blunder, none of them faulted her. If anything, her family thirsted for more blood.
Elian rubbed Bianca’s back as he smiled, "Thank you, Mother-in-law. I’ll leave it to you. Let me know if you need anything."
