Started to burn hotter with every second of her defiant silence. But his voice stayed quiet. Controlled. The silence stretched unbearably. Heavy. Oppressive. Dangerous. "I'm waiting," he said softly. Behind him, Carmina shifted. Her cane tapped against the floor. Then she spoke. "No one." Her voice was tight. Hard. "No one gave me permission."

The entire pack hall fell instantly silent. The doors burst open with a bang, and Nolan stormed in, the full weight of the Silverglade Pack’s leadership trailing nervously behind him. The moment he threw me a heartbeat's glance, Janine, who was still holding the knife aloft, was flung violently across the hall by an invisible force. She smashed through three support pillars and landed embedded deep in the far wall. Despite being Silverglade’s top warrior, Aiden had already collapsed into a trembling heap on the floor.

Not a dismissal. Not even contempt. Just… nothing. A door shut without explanation. Promise had learned long ago that silence could wound worse than words. It was Mama’s weapon, the village’s verdict, the city’s answer. Still, silence could also be space. A pause to decide what came next.
