Alpha Orion
"You can't go to the capital alone, Alpha. Seth commands the entire legion, with the council's consent."
Orion turned his head slightly, his voice low and dangerous. "Are you suggesting I hide while my people are led by a traitor?"
"He's right," Rey interjected.
Orion's eyes snapped to her, confusion flickering in their depths.
"This was Seth's plan all along," she whispered, voice trembling. "I was so stupid to believe he was trying to help me."
"What are you talking about?" Orion asked quietly.
Rey lifted her chin to meet his eyes. "He was the one who helped me escape. And in the facility, I overheard my father saying it was their plan to get you into the Outlands by using me as bait."
