Chapter 52 Epilogue
- (Flashback: Kael is sixteen, six years before his father's death)
- Kael found his father in the unfinished basement of St. Aurora on a night he was supposed to be asleep. His father stood alone among exposed wires and concrete blocks, staring at blueprints on a makeshift table.
- "You should be in bed," his father said without looking back. Alpha Thornwood the elder always knew when his son was in the room.
