CHAPTER 110: FREE

ALEXANDER“I did not choose this for you,” I said. “Do not mistake it for pity. Do not mistake it for mercy you somehow earned. I chose it for the pack. For the people who deserve better than an Alpha driven only by vengeance after being ruled by a murderer and a fraud.”I crouched so that we were at eye level and held his gaze without blinking.“When you are taken upstairs, some of what you did will not be spoken. You will not speak of it either. You will accept the charges that are named, you will accept the sentence that follows, and then you will leave. If there was ever a time you cared about me—if there was ever a time you cared about the man we both called father—you will do this. You will not make it worse than it already is.”Greyson said nothing, his face remaining unreadable, and the question that had lived under my ribs since the truth first cracked open finally forced its way out.“Did he know?” I asked. “Did Father know you were not his son?”I had told myself that he co

CHAPTER 111: SAFETY

KATARINAEvening settled over the stronghold in long blue shadows.It had been a week since everything that had happened, and I stood in the quiet of Alexander’s suite, fixing the dark dress the women had brought for the ritual.

KATARINAI woke to the quiet weight of Alexander’s arm around me and the steady rhythm of his breathing against my back. For a long moment, I lay there, letting the peace of it settle. The rain had stopped, and I could feel that it was going to be a wonderful day—if not for anything else, then for the fact that it was my first day as a free woman again after months.When I shifted, Alexander stirred, his lips brushing my bare shoulder, then the side of my neck.I turned in his arms so I could see his face. Sleep still softened his features, but his eyes were clear and intent when they met mine as he told me he loved me.My heart flipped, despite it not being the first time he had said it, and I told him I loved him too. It was as we drew back that I lifted my hand to his chest and gasped, seeing the most beautiful diamond ring glistening on my ring finger.I gasped, eyes wide.“Marry me,” he said, the words soft and almost conversational but landing with the full weight that made my h
