"How many casualties?" I ask Roy and sit next to him. He leans over his seat to get to the cooler next to him. He offers me a beer and sits back. "Eighty-six and we have twenty-two missing. The vamps took the bodies,"

"One oh eight then," I correct him.

"You f*****g didn't, Jo," he glares at me.

"They're traitors,". I repeat Perry's words. "We were going to kill them anyway. They're useful this way. Where's James?"

"On his way back to the tower with Silas and Jordan. Whatever you had them give him-" "She." I cut him off. Hmm?"

"She had the vamps give them something so they wouldn't damage the product. I saw her give that shit to the Bellaire girl. She was out for a while before she handed her over to their master. James isn't going to wake up for a couple of days,"

"Do you hear yourself?" he growls.

"Yeah," I laugh remembering Perry asking me the same thing. Only then she was referring to the way we treat other wolves "We've come full circle," "What does that t mean?"

"It means we're no longer at the top of the food chain, Royce. If we're going to survive this new world, we're going to have to make some changes. Once we get everything in order, we can address the civil issues. For now, we have to finish hunting down the remainder of those who helped James and replace their positions. I'm assuming your eagerness to help me means you expect compensation,"

"I'm

"James is

is my brother," I remind him. "And he's currently on his way to live in the Hightower prison for the rest of his life. If you want nothing in return, tell me so I can thank you properly,"

"I don't want anything in return, b****h. I've earned my right to be in my position," he scoffs and s***hes the beer out of my hand. "Beers for celebrating,"

"What are you celebrating?" I laugh.
