The only thing that kept me company was the dim light coming from that small barred window. Cold, just like my cell, unyielding, just like those choices that landed me here.

Alina’s smirk flashes again in my mind, her words of mockery loud in my mind: “You’re finally where you belong.”

In the first moments, my anger had overwhelmed me; I had wanted to fight back, fight to show everyone that I was not the traitor they had made me out to be.

After those hours changed into another, that oppressive silence started to seep in and make the anger give way to something heavier regret.

I had let down not just myself, but also my pack. Astonishingly clear was the fact that my ambition and resentment had blinded me, that Alina used me as a pawn in some twisted game of hers.

A sound of boots echoed down the hallway. My heart pounded with every passing second as I saw Aurora step into view, her face unreadable.

“Now I want to make it right,” I said, stepping closer to the bars.

“I’ll tell you everything, every plan, every conversation I had with her. I don’t care what happens to me, but she can’t keep hurting the pack.”

I told Aurora everything, the ways in which Alina had planted doubt, the words she had whispered to ignite my jealousy, the note she had told me she passed to Miles when she came here last night.

By the end, her lips were pressed into a thin line, fists clenched.
