POV: Vincent Capulet

I'd buried my daughter three weeks ago.

Standing in this conference room at Moonrise Academy, staring at evidence that her death was murder, I felt the grief crack open fresh. Raw. Like I was getting the news all over again.

But this time, anger burned underneath.

"This communication." I pointed to a document dated two months before Juliana's death. "Lady Macbeth is discussing my daughter like she's a problem to be solved."

Ronan Montague stood across the table, looking like he'd aged years in the weeks since the funeral. The mate bond severance had nearly killed him. I'd heard the stories about him howling for three days straight, unable to shift back to human form.

Part of me had been glad. The Montague boy had stolen my daughter's heart and gotten her killed.

Both facing judgment for fifty murders and decades of systematic corruption.The moment I'd been waiting for since Juliana's death. The chance to see her killers face consequences."The assembled pack leaders have reviewed the evidence," Vincent Capulet announced. His voice carried across the courtyard. "Communications. Financial records. Testimony from victims and witnesses. The conspiracy is proven beyond any doubt.""This is a farce," Lady Macbeth said calmly. "A trial conducted by traumatized children and grief-stricken parents. You have no authority to judge Council members.""The Council has no authority over us anymore," Marcus Montague replied. "You destroyed that authority when you used it to murder our children. This tribunal represents every pack you betrayed. Every family you destroyed. You'll answer to us."Ian laughed. "Answer to you?

    POV: Desi WhitmoreOtto's journal sat in my jacket pocket like a promise.I'd been carrying it since Cassio gave it to me. Reading his entries. Understanding how Ian had systematically destroyed someone I loved. Seeing the evidence of manipulation that had driven Otto to violence and then death.But I'd also seen something else in those pages. Moments where Otto had fought back. Recognized the manipulation. Tried to leave proof that would help others survive.His love for me had transcended the lies. Even when Ian's poisoned words made him doubt me, Otto had kept searching for truth. Had kept fighting to be better than the darkness wanted him to become.That was the Otto I needed to channel now. Not the broken victim. The fighter who'd refused to let manipulation define him."Desi!" Helena called from her position. "Ian's breaking containment! He's got a weapon!"I ran toward the commotion. Ben was down. Bea was with him. Ronan was coordinating defenses. Everyone stretched too thin an

    POV: Bea SharpeFighting beside Ben felt like breathing.We moved as one unit. His strategy covering my aggression. My strength protecting his vulnerabilities. Eight years of rivalry had taught us each other's patterns so completely that we didn't need words anymore.Ian's remaining guards attacked from three sides. Professional killers following their final orders.Ben went low. I went high. We cleared the first wave in seconds."Left!" Ben called.I was already moving. Blocked the strike meant for his ribs. Countered with an elbow that dropped the attacker."Behind you!"Ben ducked under my swing. Took out the guard who'd been circling for my back.Perfect coordination. Like we'd been fighting together our whole lives instead of against each other."We're good at this," Ben panted."We always were. Just pointed at the wrong targets."Another wave of guards. More desperate. More willing to use lethal force.We met them together.I'd spent years believing Ben was my enemy.The golden

The ritual chamber structurally compromised from earlier fighting. Explosives planted throughout the facility. Everyone exhausted from hours of combat.And Ian standing in the center of it all, holding our lives in his hand."Nobody moves," he repeated. "Or everyone dies."The mate bond's ghost ached in my chest. Juliana had died in a place like this. Sacrificed to fuel someone else's ambition. I'd failed to protect her.I wouldn't fail these students."Ronan." Bea's voice was low. "He's bluffing. Has to be. Blowing the facility kills him too.""He doesn't care. Look at his eyes. He's past self-preservation."Ian heard us. Smiled. "Your Alpha is correct. I'm perfectly willing to die if it means proving my point. That mercy is fatal. That trying to save me instead of kill me gave me this opportunity.""So what's your endgame?" I asked, buying time. "Kill

The conspiracy exposed.Fools.They didn't understand that I wasn't part of the conspiracy. I was the conspiracy. Every manipulation. Every death. Every broken bond was my art.
