The Secui’s words were almost surprising. This was Vigilante! This was Jaden’s Target! Despite his impact of this realization, the assassin didn’t hesitate. He leveled the bow and poisoned arrow and put Vigilante directly in the middle of his aim.
suddenly, Jaden froze. Perfect form for a near perfect shot held Jaden’s body, but he couldn’t let the arrow go. It was like his fingers wouldn’t slip form the feather tail of the weapon, like they held on with a mind all their own. In reality it was Jaden’s mind that wouldn’t release the arrow. He had been undecided about killing this more than likely innocent wolf for months now. When Vigilante asked if he could help and armed stranger, the assassin was reassured he was taking a good man’s life. That was too much. He had renounced meaningless killing. He was no longer part of Uva Atka and he truly wished to believe himself a changed wolf. Ending another life upon simple request and wish to uphold honor with a wolf Jaden would most likely never meet again would do nothing to repel the assassin’s belief he had no good within himself. Images of countless others who had died at Jaden’s hands lit his blue eyes. Then the images of his dying mate at the hands of his brother. Is this what she would want? Surely she hadn’t given her life just so he could go one taking lives from others. No, she wanted him to have a life, not one of a hunted assassin, but one of a free wolf. She wished him to experience a normal life. Something neither he nor she had experienced together. “Live for me.” Her request had meant so much more then he had realized until now.
A sudden movement snapped Jaden from his thoughts. He let the arrow go, but it was too late. Vigilante wouldn’t die tonight. The wolf was no longer an Assassin. He would not be able to bring himself to kill Vigilante even in he had the chance again.
Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
