The pack warriors froze at the cave mouth when they saw the twins staring at them with hungry eyes.
"What are those things?" Beta Rivers whispered, his hand shaking on his sword. Alpha Marcus pushed past his men, his face dark with rage.
"Abominations. Just like I feared." Kael stepped forward, ice cracking around his feet. "They're your grandchildren, Father."
"No grandchildren of mine would look at pack members like prey." Alpha Marcus pointed at the babies. "Look at their eyes!"
Everyone looked. The twins were still looking at the warriors with that strange, hungry expression. The quiet one tilted its head like it was studying them.
The other one smiled. Babies weren't supposed to smile like that. "We need to destroy them before they grow stronger," Alpha Marcus stated. "No!" Elara screamed, trying to grab the babies from Darian's arms. Ronan's berserker rage burst.
