Elara returned to the Alpha’s residence the next morning, her steps quiet and careful. The training with Elder Cassandra had given her a small sense of purpose, but the pain from the previous night still lingered. She didn’t want to see Kai. Not yet.

She slipped inside through a side entrance, hoping to avoid everyone. A servant noticed her and bowed slightly.

“Luna, welcome back. Do you need anything?”

Elara shook her head. “No, thank you. I just came to pick up a

    They were still standing close on the inner path when Jax finally spoke.“You’re letting it eat you,” he said.Malinda’s eyes narrowed. “Excuse me?”“The anger.” He didn’t step back. “It’s getting louder than everything else. I watch you every time her name comes up. I watch you when we pass that cell. It’s sitting on you differently now.”“She earned it.”“I know she did.” Jax’s voice stayed steady. “That’s not the part I’m arguing. I’m saying if you hold it this tight for much longer, it’s going to start deciding things for you and that will destroy you faster than she ever could.”Malinda let out a sharp breath. “So what? You want me to forgive her?”“No.” He shook his head once. “I want you to stop carrying her like she’s the only thing left in your chest. There’s a difference between wanting justice and letting hatred become the thing that drives every step you take.”She stared at him. “You’re scared.”“Yes,” he said without hesitation. “I’m scared of watching you turn into some

    Kai closed the door to the small records room and turned to face Elara and Elder Mira. The space was narrow, lined with old shelves and ledgers that smelled of dust and age.“We keep this between us,” Kai said. “No wider circle yet.”Mira gave a short nod. “Agreed. If we start asking loudly, people will talk before we know what we’re holding.”Elara rested her hand on the nearest stack of bound records. “We need anything from the years Lila first arrived. Who brought her, what was said about her parents and any formal entry.”“I’ve already pulled the registers from that period,” Mira said. “They’re incomplete. Some pages were never filled. Others look like they were rewritten later.”Kai frowned. “Rewritten?”“Or carefully left blank,” Mira answered. “There are gaps where a parent’s name should be. In one entry she is listed only as ‘child under temporary protection.’ No father, no mother, no originating pack.”Elara looked up. “That can’t be normal.”“It isn’t,” Mira said. “Even orph

    Elara slept deeper and longer than she had in weeks. When she finally stirred, the light in the room had already shifted toward mid-morning. Her body felt heavy in a pleasant way a bit tired, tender between her legs, the dull ache in her side a quiet reminder of everything that had happened. She stretched carefully and found the space beside her empty.The door opened a moment later. Kai came in carrying a small tray.“You’re awake,” he said, voice still rough from sleep. “I was starting to think I’d have to come check if you were still breathing.”Elara pushed herself up against the pillows, wincing only a little. “What time is it?”“Late enough that most of the pack has already started the day.” He set the tray across her lap. He made a simple food—warm bread, a bit of fruit, soft cheese, and a cup of the tea she usually liked. “I made it myself. Don’t expect anything fancy.”She looked down at the tray, then back at him. “You cooked?”“I assembled,” he corrected, sitting on the edg

    Kai sat close enough that Elara could feel the heat of his body through the thin space separating them. Neither of them reached for the lamp. The low light from the window was enough.“Does it still hurt?” he asked, voice quiet. His eyes dropped to the binding at her side.“It’s manageable,” Elara said. “Cassandra said it’s clean. I can move as long as I’m careful.”Kai’s hand settled lightly just above the wound, not pressing, only resting there as if he needed the reminder that she was solid and alive. “I won’t hurt you. If anything feels wrong, you tell me. Immediately.”She covered his hand with hers. “I know. I trust you.”The mate bond pulsed between them steady, warm, and no longer only about protection. Desire moved underneath it now, clear and mutual.“I’ve wanted this for a long time,” Kai said. “Not just the bond but you. All of you. Every time we almost lost the chance, it got harder to keep waiting.”Elara’s thumb traced the edge of his wrist. “I was afraid if we crossed

    The door opened harder than necessary. Malinda walked in, eyes locked on Lila from the first step. Jax looked up from where he stood near the wall. Rosa remained in position on the other side of the chair. “Babe, I’m hungry,” Malinda said, not looking at Jax. “Can you come make something for me?” Jax exhaled. “Give me a few minutes. We’re still working.” Malinda did not wait. She crossed the room, stopped directly in front of Lila, and looked her over with open contempt. Then she drew her hand back and struck her hard across the face. Lila’s head snapped to the side. Blood rushed to the corner of her mouth. “That,” Malinda said, voice low and cold, “is for the injury you gave me.” She hit her again, harder. “And that is for Elara.” Lila spat blood onto the floor, breathing sharply through her nose as she forced the tears back.Jax and Rosa both straightened, surprised by the sudden violence, but neither interfered. Malinda leaned in. “You think you’re tough? Look around you. Th

    The private room near the Healing House was quiet except for the low voices of those who had carried the secret the longest. Elara sat propped against pillows, pale but clear-eyed. Kai stood beside her. Malinda, Jax, and Rosa formed a small half-circle. Elders Mira and Cassandra completed the group.Kai spoke first. “We cannot keep this inside the circle any longer. The pack fought and bled last night. They deserve the truth.”Malinda nodded. “If we stay silent, the rumors will do the damage for us. It is better they hear it from us than from fear.”“Agreed,” Jax said. “But we need to be clear about what happens to her. Some will demand her head before the sun sets.”Rosa’s voice was flat. “They have reason. She nearly killed the Luna and she brought an attack down on all of us.”Elara looked at each of them in turn. “I know what she did but if we execute her in the heat of the moment, we become exactly what she tried to turn us into a pack ruled by panic and blood. We interrogate her
