Present day

“Are you sure?” I asked, standing up. My mood had already lifted, and I felt much better.

Something passed in Micah’s eyes, but it was gone before I could read it.

“Yes,” he gritted out through clenched teeth. “Someone has confirmed that it is indeed her”

I remain quiet, studying my g**a. Why the hell did I sense some hostility from him? Anyway, it didn’t f**g matter. Not when the woman who had caused me so much pain had been eradicated from the world.

I hear a s**b behind me. I turn, finding Piper sobbing softly. I’d completely forgotten that she’s there. That this was a dear friend we were talking about.

“Please tell me it isn’t true, Micah,” she begs as tears silently fall down her face.

I feel for her, but not as much as I should. I’d wanted Sadie dead for her crimes against me. I’d wanted her to pay for costing me my mate and the solution to my pack. For me, this was the best f**g news. I felt vindicated.

My only **g regret is that I’m not the one who got to put the b**h down. It would have been so f**g nice if I’d been the last face she saw before she died.

“I’m sorry, Pip, but it’s true,” Micah answers, his eyes downcast.

Piper cries more, her heart breaking right in front of me. “She betrayed Alec, but I didn’t want her dead.”

pull her into my arms and hold her as she continues crying. I felt like a f**g hypocrite. I was holding my sister while trying to comfort her, yet deep down I was rejoicing that the f***g b**h is dead.

“You didn’t want her dead, but Alec did, and since his word is law in our world, the others jumped to fulfill it,” Micah snarls, completely shocking me.

He seemed angry, and I couldn’t understand why. Sure, he wasn’t among the ones that tortured Sadie, but he’s my f**g G**a. He should be on my f**g side.

With that, he turns around and stomps away.
