The summer heat lost the war to the gradual chill encompassing the foyer–the chill that enforced the thunderous shock booming through the entrance hall. Seconds that trickled by felt like hours with Kiya’s lingering absence. The red–fiery rage of my mate burned brightly yet was snuffed out upon her tearful revelation. Her words are the iron, her anguish is the flame, and they’re forever branded in my mind.

“He raped me, Neron.”

Averting my eyes from where Kiya once stood is punishing. I’m not blinking or breathing. Hell, it’s like I’m in an alternative dimension; a dimension riddled with sorrow. Everything is so heavy, but I don’t have the right to complain. I’m standing on the floorboards above the torturous prisons. Her rape happened below my feet.

Bile entered my mouth as nausea sucker punched me in the gut.

“I never expected a superhero,”

Kiya revealed the darkest secret she kept for years. My chest threatened to tighten like a knot with every inhale. The possibility of rape never crossed my mind; it was unheard of in my pack. We merrily walked through these halls unbeknownst to the heinous crime happening underneath us. Who are the monsters here; the rapist or us?

How many signs passed between us, but went ignored? How many times had Kiya walked the halls after the assaults, but we didn’t care to notice the changes? Goddess, how many times had she tried to reach out for help, but was shoved away?

The amount of courage it took her to speak the unspeakable is astounding. Her bravery is to be admired, but at what cost? Something tells me that if she had a choice, she’d tell no one about Tristan out of self- preservation.

Everything about this place is and always will be a trigger. How can I be proud to call this place my own? Every step she takes across my lands reminds her of the assault and how nobody helped her. And she shielded her pain behind a mask. No one knew the burden of hiding it for so long…

I wanted to scream, break glass, and burn this place to the ground. I’d toss my sorry ass in the flames as well because we’re all are responsible for Kiya’s pain–directly and indirectly. And I’m her mate, so it makes it

worse.

My head slowly turned to Tristan’s broken form and the growing red pool under his head. An unfathomable amount of rage rushed through me like an erupted volcano. He deserves to melt in the scorching lava.

This was the man I trusted with my life. I thought he was a man with an unshakable moral compass. Tristan was the type to obey an Alpha’s orders without question. He’s a long–standing guard, passed to me from my father! I’ve patted this man on the back, smiled with him, drank with him, and let him around children. I
