“Are you going to…” Gideon grabs the keys and heads off toward the path to the car.

He doesn’t want them to know—Nix had chosen not to be the instrument of Hayes’s last moments, and it was the right one for him.

“Tell them? Fuck no. That’s for you.” Whether Leo means it’s for him to tell or the whole thing was for him, Gideon isn’t sure.

Maybe it doesn’t matter, and maybe it’s both.

Leo grabs his wrist, asking, “Wasit…what you wanted?”

“Fuck, no. But it will have to do.”

It wasn’t the vengeance Gideon’s wolf had demanded, but watching Hayes die and being sure he couldn’t come for his pack was enough.

It would have to be enough, and at the very least, it was all over now.
