Chapter 90 Chapter 90

“There isn’t a person in this city more dangerous than a wolf whose mate is in danger.”

Patricia Briggs 7)

Although Griffin had no plans to negotiate with Liam, his “demands” came the next day. Those demands came in the

form of a boy, who couldn’t have been older than thirteen, showing up on the border of the royal territory.

He’d come with nothing but the clothes on his back and a message for Griffin: Alpha Liam will meet you in two days at

Lock Heart territory. Come alone. He’s prepared to hand over your mate and let you live in exchange for your willing

surrender of the crown.

That message had been laughable, even when Griffin heard it from the child’s own lips. Did Liam really think it would be

that easy? That he’d just show up, completely alone, and bend the knee to a tyrant? That might as well have been a

suicide mission.

If Liam had even half a brain cell, then he knew there was no surrender. Not for anyone. Perhaps Liam would try to

surrender when this was all said and done, when Griffin had taken out his entire army and those who supported him, but

it would be pointless. There was no possible outcome where Liam came out of this situation alive. Chapter 90

And those around Griffin seemed to agree ~ especially Lily and Alessia.

“Does he think we’re stupid?” Alessia scoffed. All three of them stood in one of Griffin’s meeting rooms. He’d call a

meeting with his advisors later, but for now, he only cared to update those who cared just as much about rescuing his mate as he did: her sister and her sister’s mate. .*

Not to mention, both women had proved themselves quite valuable these past few days. As resourceful as they were, he

didn’t mind using them as a sounding board for his ideas.

“Apparently,” Griffin growled.

“I can’t believe he used a little boy to deliver his message,” Lily added. “How sick is this guy?”

“It’s his own version of a fail-safe,” Griffin explained. “If he handed over one of his warriors, he’d be losing a soldier and

it’s possible we could torture him for information.”

“A child isn’t as ‘valuable’ to Liam’s cause,” Alessia continued, “Plus,

he’s counting on the fact that we wouldn’t hurt a child.”

And he was right. Griffin had no plans to hurt the child. That’s something his father might’ve done, but not him.

He was only a slip of a boy anyway, clearly terrified and just following orders. He’d put the boy up in one of the guest

bedrooms under guard, and sent Nadia in with something to eat. Chapter 90

If the child did have information, Griffin was sure he’d be much more

willing to give it to them under a few blankets than under a knife.

“What’s crazy,” Alessia said, her face twisted into a dark frown, “Is that Liam expects you to believe he’d follow through

on his demands. Even if you did go there alone and surrender in exchange for Clark’s life, there’s no way Liam would let

you walk out alive.”

“I know,” Griffin replied, “He’s trying to seize the crown by force but you don’t dethrone a king unless you Kill him. I

know that better than anyone. I have no doubt that Liam intends to kill me and my mate.”
