But I knew one thing with absolute certainty:
When I found her, I would claim her.
Mark her.
Make her bleed the way Kenji made Nyomi bleed.
And she would do the same to me.
Kitty shifted against my chest, murmuring something in her sleep.
I pressed a kiss to her hair—gentle, grateful, slowly prepping her for the eventual goodbye.
Then, I landed a kiss on Puppy’s cheek as he slept.
Soon, I would have to let them go. Both of them. It would be kind to do it cleanly, to set them free to find someone who could give them what they deserved.
But that was a problem for another day.
Tonight, I would rest.
Tonight, I would let myself be held.
And tomorrow. . .
Soon.
Tomorrow, the hunt for the Fox would begin.
I closed my eyes, and for the second time that night, sleep came easily.
No dreams this time.
Just darkness.
Just rest.
Just the quiet certainty that everything was about to change.
The Fox had taken so much from us.
Our mothers.
Our peace.
Nura.
But he hadn't taken everything.
He hadn't taken Kenji's Tiger.
He hadn't taken my hope.
And when we finally cornered him—when we finally made him pay for every drop of blood he'd spilled—I would be the one to deliver the killing blow.
For Nura.
For my brother.
For his Tiger.
For my family.
For the man I was becoming.
The man who would one day find his person and bite.
Watch out, Fox. The hunt is coming. And I am hungry for your fucking blood.
