Coran's rage radiated like fire, melting the lingering cold that gripped the room. This was his sister that caused such a catastrophe. The second heir of the Mountain clan. A wolf! A wolf betrayed her Alpha. The pride and honor now was all gone.
Elaika didn't fight back this time. She didn't argue. Didn't curse Ren's name again.
"You knew I wouldn't forgive you," Kai said, his voice laced with cold finality. He didn't even glance back as he turned and strode out of the cell.
Behind him, Elaika broke. A scream tore from her throat, raw and guttural, a sound of pure desperation. But her brother didn't stop. Didn't flinch. He didn't need to see her collapse to know it was done. This wasn't just about the princess. This was about Thegara, about the lives she had stolen in the name of envy and treason.
