~ Kai's Study
Kai slammed the scroll onto the table, the heavy thud echoing through his study like a war drum. His blood simmered with fury. No matter how hard he tried to maintain a composed front figure for Ren, the truth seethed beneath his skin, his entire body was burning with rage.
His eyes gleamed with something feral, the anger sharpening them until they looked like those of a predator cornered and provoked.
"Someone tried to kill my wife while I was there," he growled, voice edged in steel. "That couldn't be Luther. He doesn't want her dead. They unlocked the shackle, and the monster didn't harm them. That traitor was either a shifter or a vampire."
'Find the bastard, or I will, and it'll be bloody,' Shadow snarled in his mind.
"I doubt Luther would let a vampire roam this land freely," Coran offered, his tone carrying a steady calm level. "Besides, they can't endure sunlight. We all saw that during the battle."
"That means it had to be a shifter," Rail said grimly.
