Chapter 128: Mating Match--Siren’s Wrath
A boom went inside Killian’s head as a terrifying silence stretched in the office. Killian had thought of many possibilities, and this one was at the bottom of his list. Even though he had considered it, he thought that the possibilities would be really low. Thus, even though he expected it, he was still surprised.
Ajax, who had followed Killian, paused and said, "Can you repeat that?"
"A hit list." Killian’s voice hardened. He was quick to accept the fact, as he had been expecting it ever since they started hunting down the witches and their clients in the shifter community; even if they didn’t know that they had tracked down N.M.H., they must have found out that they were nosing into their business. "It seems like the witches want us dead."
"Not just us," Finn corrected. "They are after the Venus pack as well. There is also a hit on the Venus pack."
This time around, Killian frowned because he didn’t expect the Venus pack to be put on the hit list as well. Was it because Dominic was with him when he was interrogating Remy?
A series of curses rang out in the office.
"Does Dominic know of this?" Matt asked.
"I don’t think he does," remarked Killian with a hint of annoyance in his tone. "He has been looking for his mate, whom he chased out; I don’t believe he is on track with things at the moment."
"Now I understand what’s going on," muttered Henley. He was looking at the floor as he spoke, "The reason the entire mall was blown up by the witches was because they didn’t want Selene and Laxus to escape. They wanted the two of them to die together with the other shifters because that would definitely deal a blow to our pack."
