Chapter 81: The Reckoning

Edric POV I sat in the center of the great hall with my hands bound in front of me. The stone bench felt cold beneath my legs. Pack elders lined on both sides of the long table, their faces set like carved masks. Guards stood at every exit. The air smelled of old wood and tension. I kept my back straight as I would not give them the satisfaction of seeing me break.I heard the doors open at the far end. Nyx walked in with her snotty Alpha behind her. She wore dark green again, the same shade she had worn the night before. Her chin was lifted and her steps were steady. When her eyes met mine across the room, something hot and ugly twisted in my chest.*I could have killed her when I had the chance.*The thought burned through me. One clean strike years ago and none of this would be happening but instead I had kept her alive. I had used her and sold her. Now she stood here as Luna of Ironfang, looking at me like I was already dead.Kane rose from his seat at the center of the table. Hi

Chapter 82: The Execution Day

I felt the weight of it settle in my chest. It was not grief. I had already moved through that in the northern ruins but it was not triumph either. Triumph felt too small for this.

Lucian’s POVI rode at the front of the column with Nyx in front of me, my horse moving hard beneath us. The wind cut across my face as we pushed toward the estate. Guards flanked both sides. I kept my voice low but sharp as I gave orders. No one was to leave their post. Every gate was to be doubled. Scouts were to ride the roads immediately. I did not raise my voice. I did not need to. The men moved faster when I spoke like this.My chest felt tight. I had promised Nyx justice. I had promised her Edric would not walk free but now he was gone. I had underestimated the reach of the man behind this. The thought sat like iron in my stomach. I had let her down.We reached the estate in under an hour. I dismounted before the horse fully stopped. Thorne was already waiting. Elara stood beside him. Nyx was further back, her face pale but steady. I met her eyes for only a second before I turned to the others.“Council room. Now,” I said.The emergency meeting was already forming when I entere
