Chapter 109: At the Cost of Her Own Life

Troy

Hayden was sitting on a rock, chewing loudly as he snacked on what looked like a piece of jerky. I grimaced at the sound, shifting my weight to sit more comfortably on the cold dirt floor of the tunnel.

“You’re welcome for the clothes,” Hayden quipped, “I fig ured I could offer you one last kindness by not having your balls dragging in the dirt while we wait for, uh, whatever hap pens.”

“And what exactly is going to happen?” I asked tersely. Hayden shrugged. “Why are you here, exactly?” | asked, gen uinely confused. Hayden was a dumbass, as thick as they come. I found it highly unlikely he had much, if anything, to offer Tasia.

“Carl took a liking to me, I think. I’m not so bad once you get to know me.”

“You’re a rapist and murderer-” | bit out. Hayden chuck led.

“Yeah, well. Whatever world Tasia and Carl are gonna make once they have the stones… it won’t matter. Everyone l’

ve wronged will be dead. A clean slate.”

“You’re the worst,” | mumbled, biting the inside of my cheek as I tried to come up with a plan.

0001 “I had been working with Damian, you know. I knew every

thing he was planning on doing with that map everyone was Tooking for. Damian sent me to Valoria to meet with Carl after you and the princess took off on that pirate ship. I figured Carl and Tasia had more to offer me than Damian did. They said I’d be an Alpha, that I could live in the castle. Stuff like that.”

“In exchange for what?”

“Betraying Damian. Killing him when he returned to Valo ria with whatever the God’s name is… Lyon, whatever-”

“Lycaon,” I corrected.

“Yeah, that’s what I said. Anyway, Damian never came back, and then we got word that the princess had returned to Winter Forest, so… I just hung out with them. Like I said be fore, I did have sex with Tasia-”

“Cool,” I replied dryly. “You realize these people are going to kill you, right? You’re not like them. You’ll be useless to them when this is all over.”

He ignored me, biting into another piece of jerky he had fished out of his jacket pocket.

“I bet they’ || spare Maeve, you know? They’ll need her blood, or whatever.”

| swallowed against the fury, willing myself to keep my mouth shut.

“I bet if I asked, they’d give her to me, you know, as a prize for helping them,”

I bucked against my restraints, the rope binding my hands

behind my back going taunt and biting into my skin.
