I asked seriously. It's not that I was jealous over them fucking and whispering useless promises in each other's ears. I was asking to keep a check on his loyalty. I needed him to remember who he was serving with his whole being. If I felt that his loyalty was being dragged to her I wasn't going to hesitate in ripping him apart. "I'm your beta alpha, one of my jobs is to advise you correctly. Forgive me if I gave you doubts over my loyalty." He answered with a slight bow.

I paused, letting the words settle, watching them take in this piece of my past I’d never shared with them before. “Besides the family business, one thing that taught me loyalty was how the church portrayed Jesus and his disciples.” I saw a flicker of interest in Lorenzo’s eyes. Alessandro shifted slightly in his seat, and I could tell he was on edge—even if he didn’t show it outright. All of a sudden, it made sense to me why discussions on loyalty always seemed to make him uncomfortable. Guilt they said, was hard to hide. I waited, letting the silence stretch again. I wanted every word I said to sink in deeply.

"The things you say to me don hold me for work o, That you would ride with me till the wheels fall off. Oh, fall off... She don't want my money,She don't want nobody She just want Loyalty,she wants my Loyalty.

“I just want to make sure of something. Your loyalty.” Liora clenched her teeth. “Loyalty? I’ve done everything you asked. I went on media appearances, answered those ridiculous questions, let people speculate about me and Arga. What more do you want?” Devandra slammed his hand on the glass table between them. Bang!

Lena noticed how the city felt less like a maze now and more like a landscape, something to move through with awareness rather than strategy. Eli slipped his hand into hers, the gesture unremarkable in its familiarity and yet newly appreciated. “You know,” he said, “I think I used to believe that keeping things people, habits, plans meant staying loyal.” “And now?” she asked. “And now I think loyalty is choosing what still fits,” he said. “Not out of obligation, but out of truth.” She squeezed his hand. “I agree.” Back home, Lena returned to her notebook.
