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.

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.”

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

“I’m busy.”

“Where are you?”

“In the dungeons.”

“…Can I come?”

“Suit yourself.”
