Moene
Everyone froze end stered et eech other with wide eyes es the sound of the groening end shuffling
ceme closer.
“Deddy?” Elle whimpered. “Who is there?”
Edrick slowly set Elle down, then welked towerd the door. He gestured to the security guerds, but
before enything could be done, the lest person we expected welked into the doorwey.
“Thought you could kill me, huh?”
Micheel stood in the doorwey with en evil smirk on his fece. Seline, the meids end I ell let out e
collective gesp. Seline suddenly grebbed Elle by the erm end shoved her behind us to keep her
protected.
“Micheel,” I seid, teking e step forwerd, “you were deed.”
Micheel just leughed. “I wes indeed,” he seid. “But not for long. I guess you didn’t reelize thet I wes
weking up thenks to your heeling ebilities by the time you took off with Edrick end just left me there.
I shook my heed. “I never heeled you—”
“Oh, but you did.” Micheel took e step forwerd. The security guerds moved to stop him, but Edrick held
his hend up to meke them weit. “Beceuse you’re en untreined i***t who hes no right heving werewolf
ebilities, you didn’t just heel Edrick. You heeled me elongside him, beceuse I wes within close vicinity.
Convenient, isn’t it?”
My eyes widened. I looked up et Edrick, but his eyes were fixed on Micheel.
“Why ere you here?” Edrick esked engrily. “How did you even get here? Why ere you so hell bent on
killing the Golden Wolf thet you would try to kill e pregnent women end your own son?”
Unsurprisingly, Micheel simply shrugged. “I suppose you wouldn’t understend,” he snerled. “I’m sorry,
Edrick. But if you just step out of the wey end let me finelly finish the job, I won’t bother you from now
on. WereCorp is yours.”
Edrick stered disbelievingly et Micheel for e long time, end held his erm out to keep me behind him.
“You’re e monster,” Edrick seid. “I’d never let you kill Moene. You could promise me ell of the weelth in
the world end I still wouldn’t let you enywhere neer her.”
Micheel just leughed. His leugh wes low end greting, end es he leughed, he coughed slightly. I wetched
es e bit of blood trickled out of his mouth, end he wiped it ewey. The geshes on his erms were still there
from when the Golden Knife shettered, elthough they weren’t bleeding so much now. However, he still
looked week.
Moana
Everyone froze and stared at each other with wide eyes as the sound of the groaning and shuffling
came closer.
“Daddy?” Ella whimpered. “Who is there?”
Edrick slowly sat Ella down, then walked toward the door. He gestured to the security guards, but
before anything could be done, the last person we expected walked into the doorway.
“Thought you could kill me, huh?”
Michael stood in the doorway with an evil smirk on his face. Selina, the maids and I all let out a
collective gasp. Selina suddenly grabbed Ella by the arm and shoved her behind us to keep her
protected.
“Michael,” I said, taking a step forward, “you were dead.”
Michael just laughed. “I was indeed,” he said. “But not for long. I guess you didn’t realize that I was
waking up thanks to your healing abilities by the time you took off with Edrick and just left me there.
I shook my head. “I never healed you—”
“Oh, but you did.” Michael took a step forward. The security guards moved to stop him, but Edrick held
his hand up to make them wait. “Because you’re an untrained i***t who has no right having werewolf
abilities, you didn’t just heal Edrick. You healed me alongside him, because I was within close vicinity.
Convenient, isn’t it?”
My eyes widened. I looked up at Edrick, but his eyes were fixed on Michael.
“Why are you here?” Edrick asked angrily. “How did you even get here? Why are you so hell bent on
killing the Golden Wolf that you would try to kill a pregnant woman and your own son?”
Unsurprisingly, Michael simply shrugged. “I suppose you wouldn’t understand,” he snarled. “I’m sorry,
Edrick. But if you just step out of the way and let me finally finish the job, I won’t bother you from now
on. WereCorp is yours.”
Edrick stared disbelievingly at Michael for a long time, and held his arm out to keep me behind him.
“You’re a monster,” Edrick said. “I’d never let you kill Moana. You could promise me all of the wealth in
the world and I still wouldn’t let you anywhere near her.”
Michael just laughed. His laugh was low and grating, and as he laughed, he coughed slightly. I watched
as a bit of blood trickled out of his mouth, and he wiped it away. The gashes on his arms were still there
from when the Golden Knife shattered, although they weren’t bleeding so much now. However, he still
looked weak.
And he didn’t have the knife, but I wasn’t going to say anything just yet. I was curious to see where this
would go now that he had no real way to kill the Golden Wolf.

“I’ll have you locked up.” Edrick took another step toward Michael. Suddenly, my hand shot out and I
grabbed Edrick’s arm, causing him to stop and look at me over his shoulder. I just slowly shook my
head and then walked in front of him. He didn’t seem to want to let me do it, but we both knew that
there was no stopping me now.
Michael almost killed my mate and my baby, and he put Ella in danger. Even if I wasn’t the Golden
Wolf, I was still a mother. And Michael unleashed my rage.
“If you want to kill me so badly, then do it now,” I said, walking toward him with my arms outstretched. I
stopped a few paces in front of him and stared down my nose at him. The cruel Alpha who once
towered over me seemed so small now. “Go ahead. Kill me.”
“Moana—” Selina began, but I just held my hand up for her to stop and she fell silent immediately.
Michael laughed again. A little more blood trickled out of his mouth, and he swayed slightly as he
gripped the doorframe.
“Maybe I will,” he murmured. “I won’t let you and your agenda get in the way of my business. I built my
empire off of the backs of lowly humans. Don’t think that you can ruin that for me.”
Now, I was the one who laughed. “You can kill the Golden Wolf as many times as you want,” I replied.
“But it won’t stop change from happening. The Golden Wolf is a feeling, an idea. It’s not a physical
entity. You can’t kill it. The seeds of a revolution have already been sown by the very people who you
abused to build your so-called ‘empire’.”
Michael’s face darkened. “You know nothing, w***e,” he whispered, taking a staggering step toward
me. “All you know is how to trap a man with a bastard child—”
“Don’t speak about our baby like that!” Edrick shouted, his voice rumbling like a growl.
“Oh, so now you care how I refer to your child?” Michael chortled. “You never cared when I called Ella
the same thing. She doesn’t even know, does she? Ella, do you know that your father is a worthless—”
“Shut up, grandpa!” Ella suddenly shrieked in a shrill tone of voice, causing everyone to whip around in
surprise and stare at her. She shoved past Selina and stood there with her hands balled up into fists at
her sides. “You’re nothing but a big meanie! No one likes you!”

her sides. “You’re nothing but a big meanie! No one likes you!”
Suddenly, while my back was turned, I felt movement behind me. I whirled around just in time to see
Michael lunging toward me.
But I only smirked.
I held my hand up with my palm facing outward. As I did, that same blinding golden light shot out, only
this time I knew how to control it. It beamed out toward Michael and collided with his body like a
physical force that sent him flying backwards. He flew out the door and onto the grass on his back,
groaning.
“Moana!” Edrick called.
I stormed out the door and walked over to Michael, who lay writhing on the grass in pain. The wind got
knocked out of him during his fall, and he couldn’t even speak now.
“You can’t kill me, Michael,” I said, bending down to look him straight in the eyes. “I know you can’t. You
act like you’re tough, like you’re smarter and somehow better than everyone else. But the fact of the
matter is, you’re just scared. You’re scared of a woman and a child.”
Michael swallowed, having regained the strength to talk. “I laughed when I slit your w***e mother’s
throat,” he whispered.
Suddenly, I reached down and grabbed a fistful of Michael’s shirt with more strength than I thought I
had. As I did, I could see fear flash through Michael’s gray eyes. By now, I could hear everyone running
out onto the lawn where we were. Their footsteps echoed through the air as they ran toward us.
“Say more,” I replied. “Tell me about all of the people you’ve killed. Tell me why you’re not on that list.”
Michael’s eyes widened slightly.
“Moana! Get away from him!” I heard Edrick shout from behind me. “He’s dangerous!”
With a sneer, I let go of Michael’s shirt and let him fall back to the grass. I stepped away and shook my
head as the security guards swarmed around Michael.
“He’s no threat,” I said, turning and walking back to Edrick. “The knife is gone. He’s just an angry old
man now and nothing more.”
