Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 608: Pack Of Wolves

"How dare you treat me like this!" Alpha Marlow bellowed as the two wolf guards hauled him through the packhouse, his wrists cinched in suppressor’s cuffs. The metal was cold, and he couldn’t call on his wolf’s strength even if he could.

He spat and thrashed, but the guards were not moved at all. They shoved him down the corridor toward the cells, past the echo of the celebration that still droned in the courtyard.

Marlow’s face was livid, veins bulging on his temples, "Once I’m free from this place, I’ll make sure you —"

One guard pushed the heavy iron door to the dungeon open while the other stepped back, even as Marlow continued to curse them.

But a sudden yelp cut him off.

The guard who had his back staggered, hand flying to his mouth. Blood slicked his fingers while a silver dagger protruded from his chest. He dropped to the ground, dead.

The second guard turned with horror on his face. They were under attack!

But before he could send any order through the pack link, a blade came flying and sank into his neck.

Then one of the assassins stepped into the limelight and ripped his heart from his chest, blood spilling to the ground.

Marlow’s heart thudded in his chest. For a beat he was frozen, disbelief twisting his features. He suddenly wished the cuff were off so he could fight for his life. This was such a cowardly way to die.

The assassins were three in number, fully cloaked with their faces half hidden in the darkness.

Marlow’s stomach turned cold when he saw the leader step forward, his boots soundless on the ground. The man’s grin was casual, and contemptuous.
