Trick hissed out a breath "Fuck I’ this motherfucker and his sorry excuse for a pack" He used his sleeve to wipe at the blood dripping down his face and then shoved open the dented door, leaving bloody fingerprints Glass tinkled as it dropped froround

The others slid out of the SUV too, but Trick kept his eyes on the wolves glaring at the steps The air was bone-dry and sray wolf let out a lol, as if calling for his Alpha Morelli appeared at the top of the quarrythe steps, he clapped "Damn, I wasn’t sure if you’d survive" He said it with admiration, like they’d crashed for the thrill "That’s one hell of a drop" He stopped halfway down the wall and petted the head of the closest wolf

"Hiding behind your pack, Morelli?" taunted Trey "Is that what Alphas do now?"

Douy’s no Alpha"

Trey’s lips pursed "Valid point"

Morelli’s face tightened, but then he smiled "Must we really resort to insults?"

"No," said Trey "You could fight rowled, not liking that idea He wanted to be the one to end the bastard

"Prove to me and your wolves here that you’re what you claim to be," continued Trey "Prove to the Prove to the for Because they will die if they co to protect them from that and let’s settle this, one to one"

Morelli’s s the the people who burned down their hoht you s down, pin it on us, and then propose to the others that you all lay low and come up with a plan Well, it’s not like you could tell theh, have you told them all that you ith an extrey and restless Trick knehy The animals wouldn’t understand the words, but the people within them would The huitated and confused

"Drake had plenty to say before he died," Trick told hiht in talking bullshit to you--it was really the only way to fuck with you at that point"

"He was telling the truth," said Trey "You know it We know it By working with an extremist, you’ve betrayed your kind You deserve to die for that alone"

"Such bravery from someone who’s outnumbered, weakened by injury, and has no chance of a rescue" Morelli sighed, pulled out a cigar, and lit it "I gotta hand it to you, Trey, you really do have balls I honestly do like you It saddens ht We could have been allies"

"We would never have been allies"

"But if you’d just agreed to give it a shot, you wouldn’t be about to die, your territory wouldn’t soon be invaded, and your other pack " Morelli shrugged "You only have yourself to bla forward to taking over that territory of yours"

A growl ruht," he warned as he and his pack mates shed their clothes, ready to shift Sure, they were outnumbered and injured But they were also filled with the need for vengeance For Trick and his wolf, this fight was personal And now that the motherfucker effectively stood between Trick and his mate when she needed him, there wasn’t a chance in hell that Morelli would survive this fight
