After a while, Kiya told me to leave.

I didn’t want to, but I respected her wishes and left the kitchen after I cleaned up the shattered glass. Her soft sobbing started up again as I walked up the stairs.

Kiya’s right. No amount of apologies can erase the brutal past. It’s a failed Band–Aid trying to hold broken pieces together. Have we damaged Kiya beyond redemption? She’s destined to be a fantastic Luna. However, it doesn’t seem fair for her to rule over a pack that frayed her spirit.

Inha Neron

I need to speak to Alpha Neron, regardless of how late it is.

Wiping my tears, I worked up the courage to walk to his room. It’s on the farther end of the fourth floor. Brisk walking toward the thick mahogany door, I lightly knocked. Wolves hate being awoken from their sleep, but I’m taking my chances.

“Alpha Neron?” I whisper. “I’m sorry for disturbing you, but I need to talk to you.”

Silence.

I knocked harder. No response.

Giving up wasn’t an option. We need to discuss Tristan’s fate and Kiya’s well–being for the rest of her stay. Killing Tristan with my bare claws is an exciting thought–to make him feel all the agony he put my sister through. I’d sacrifice myself if it meant Kiya can genuinely smile again.

She doesn’t deserve any of this.

Frustrated, I resorted to the mind–link. “Alpha Neron? Are you awake?”

“Yes, Raina.” voice was hard and emotionless. Cyra whimpered in fear. “What is it?”

“I apologize, but I’m wondering if we can talk?”

“I’m busy.”

“Where are you?”

“In the dungeons.”

“…Can I come?”

“Suit yourself.”
