Playing The Shorter Game

There's revenge really, and there's taking from your enemy until there's nothing left of him.

ZINA

The words barely registered with Zina as she was too far lost in her head to even process them. But when they did sink in, Zina was truly stunned at Modrich's idiocy.

The man had barged into the North, flagrantly showing off his wealth and then finally offering some woman to become Daemon's wife. In that attempt, not only had he insulted Zina by calling her all but an outcast that paraded the WolfKnight's name, but he had also brushed the mate bond between her and Daemon as something that could be so easily bought with money.

That was something even the far bigger packs had never attempted, and yet, Modrich was bold enough to attempt so.
