Sable's POV The hall emptied slowly after the guards led Ophelia away, wolves lingering in small clusters, murmuring about everything the trial had just laid bare. I stayed near the back, watching Alaric remain seated at the council table long after everyone else had started filing out, his shoulders set with a rigid kind of exhaustion that worried me more than I wanted to admit. "You held together well tonight," I said, approaching once the hall had mostly cleared. "Barely." He rubbed a hand across his face, and for the first time since the battle, I noticed how badly his fingers trembled, worse than before, a tremor that ran clean through his whole arm now. "I kept myself upright through sheer stubbornness. That's about the extent of it." "You should rest." "I will. Once the wounded are properly accounted for, once the border patrols are reorganized, once…." "Alaric." I cut him off, my own exhaustion sharpening my voice more than I intended. "You just fought Bastian Vaelo

Sable's POVI didn't have an answer for Rook. Nobody in that room did, and the silence stretched long enough that Yarrow finally broke it, her voice pulling us all back to the only thing that actually mattered right now."We don't have time for this conversation," she said. "Sable, I need you beside him. Now."I moved fast, kneeling close enough that my knees pressed against Alaric's side, his breathing shallower than it had been even a few minutes earlier. Yarrow positioned herself opposite me, her hands hovering over his chest without touching, guiding rather than performing."Take his hand," she said. "Both of yours around his one. You need contact, direct and unbroken, through the whole thing."I did as she said, wrapping my trembling fingers around his cold, unresponsive palm."What do I actually say?" I asked. "The text, does it give exact words?""It gives the shape of them. The rest has to come from you, genuine,

Sable's POVThe hall didn't empty easily. Wolves lingered near the doorways, whispering, unwilling to leave until someone in authority actually told them what had just happened meant for the pack going forward. Halric finally called for the Elders to withdraw to the smaller council chamber, and Alaric, steadier now than he'd been in weeks, insisted on joining them despite Yarrow's clear disapproval."You should rest," she said, following us both toward the chamber. "Whatever just happened, your body still needs recovery time.""I feel better than I have in months," Alaric said, and I could hear the truth of it in his voice, no strain, no forced steadiness covering something failing underneath."Feeling better doesn't mean fully healed," Yarrow shot back. "The reversal fixed the source of the damage. It didn't undo weeks of your body running on fumes."He didn't argue further, he kept walking anyway, and I fell into step beside him, s

Corwin's POVThe council finalized her sentence two days after Alaric's address to the pack, and I volunteered to lead the escort myself. Partly duty, given my rank. Partly something more personal, a need to see this through to the end after everything her actions had cost me, cost all of us.She'd been held in a modest room near the eastern wing since the trial, guarded but not chained, a small mercy Halric had insisted on despite several Elders arguing she deserved worse. When I arrived to collect her, she was already dressed for travel, a single bag packed with whatever belongings the council had allowed her to keep."Corwin." Her voice carried none of its old warmth, none of the careful, practiced charm she used so effectively for months. Just flat resignation now. "Come to see me off personally?""Council's orders." I kept my voice neutral, professional,but something tight sat in my chest looking at her, remembering Bern's bruised face in tha

Sable's POVReva left within the hour, our conversation ending without resolution,but something had shifted regardless, some old weight loosening even without full forgiveness attached to it. I didn't promise her anything beyond agreeing to write occasionally, and she seemed to understand that was more than she actually earned.Petra stayed behind.She approached me the evening after Reva's visit, hesitant in a way that felt different from her usual composure, asking if she could remain in Ironclaw a while longer, help settle her mother's debts through honest work instead of desperate negotiation."You don't need my permission," I told her."I know. I just wanted you to hear it from me directly, not secondhand through the household staff."She found steady work with one of the trading houses within the territory, and over the following weeks, something unexpected started building between us, slow and cautious at first, then easie
