**Chapter 18 – Hunting the Hunters**
The house became a maze.
Kael knew every creak, every shadow, every blind spot.
He led them on a chase through the dark.
A hallway ambush.
A knife to the throat.
Two men down.
Another cornered in the kitchen.
Shotgun blast to the chest.
Blood splattered across the tiles.
Still, Kael moved.
Fast.
Quiet.
Efficient.
