My eyes widened in shock. I hadn't really considered the full impact this would have on Colt. "No, Your Majesty," I stammered, my voice tinged with panic. "My brother has nothing to do with this. He's already engaged to be married to one of the members of our pack. It's only Sage who hasn't given up her feelings for my brother."

Her Majesty's gaze remained steady, her eyes boring into mine. I could feel the weight of her scrutiny, as if she were dissecting every word I said, searching for any hint of deception. The silence stretched on, heavy and oppressive, until I felt compelled to speak again. "Your Majesty, I assure you," I continued, my voice trembling slightly. "My brother is entirely devoted to his fiancée. This is solely about Sage's misplaced affections and her disloyalty. Colt is innocent in all of this."

Her Majesty leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers as she considered my words. The flickering candlelight cast shadows across her face, making her appear even more formidable. "Very well," she said finally, her tone thoughtful. "If what you say is true, then Sage's feelings for your brother can indeed be used against her. But be warned; if this backfires, it will reflect poorly on you as well."

I swallowed hard, feeling a knot of anxiety tighten in my stomach. "I understand, Your Majesty. I will do whatever it takes to ensure this plan succeeds."

She gave a slight nod, a small smile playing on her lips. "Good. Now, leave me. I have much to consider."
