Chapter 28

• 16 YEARS AGO
• “Nani ga okotte iru no ka,” A woman with icy white hair asked her husband as she stared into the burning building that stood not so far from them. The flames that leaped off the building, giving their all with pirouetting sparks and crackles warned the woman that danger might be close. She looked down at her son and proceeded to unsheathe the katana that dangled by her hips. “They have found us!”
• Her husband, an Asian American man who looked thirty and had platinum blonde hair similar to his wife however remained calm. His hands were wrapped tightly on a katana that hanged around his waist but he continued to observe. The pack-house was desolate. Someone had arrived and attacked before their arrival. While it was in his nature to believe that the Crow pack had been attacked because information had reached the wrong ears that three relics would be seeking asylum in Crow territory, the man’s mind still remained clear. No bounty hunter would attack blindly if they were unaware that the prizes they were looking for was not even there in the first place. This was not about them and that meant it was something much worse.
