Bab 86: Chapter 86: Traitor

I don't know what I was expecting, but that answer wasn't it. Sure, the arrests and charges of drug trafficking and human sales were damning, but I never considered Danilo might do something so reprehensible. Partnership, sure. Slavery? Never.

Guess I was wrong. Charlotte's reaction happened so fast, and I was so stunned by the revelation Oleksander shared, she was already beating her brother with her fists by the time I understood what happened.

"YOU BASTARD!" Charlotte's wolf emerged, her voice dropping from a shout to a gravelly cry, claws appearing, tearing through the velvet robe Danilo wore. I suppose I should have been shocked he didn't fight her, instead just stood there and let her attack him. Nor that his mother and Oleksander simply stared, mute, hurt as Charlotte's body twisted in the need to turn wolf.
