Darius was perfectly outlined above him. But still, Koenraad didn’t charge. A feeling of unease was taking hold of him. But why? The reason sprang vividly to the front of his mind: Monroe. It didn’t make sense. She was his mate, and she was in danger from Victoria. That was the main reason they were in hiding. But what would Monroe’s reaction be if he murdered another shifter? Darius might be making their life hell in his own special way, but he’d never threatened them. That was all Victoria’s doing. And Koenraad didn’t have proof that Darius had hired Bamboo Menendez. For all he knew, that could have been Victoria as well. Killing Darius to be rid of Victoria was efficient, but Monroe might not see it that way. Of course, he could just not tell her. That was always an option. And if she were just his girlfriend, maybe he could go that route. But she was his mate, and he’d sworn not to keep secrets from her. At least, not huge secrets like murder. Could he convince her that it was an absolute necessity?
