The Alpha’s Bane
General Thorne, no, Beta Thorne, stood proudly to Kael’s right, his uniform freshly pressed, though the scars of his imprisonment still showed faintly on his hands.
Kael turned toward the crowd. “Nightfang has endured loss and betrayal,” he said, his voice carrying over the hush.
“But tonight, we rise again, stronger, united, and at peace. It is my honor to crown our Luna, not as the Alpha’s mate alone, but as the heart of this pack.”
The elder stepped forward, lifting the silver crown lined with moonstones. He placed it gently on Aria’s head.
The wolves howled, one after another, until the night trembled with joy.
