Chapter 201

• Alpha Rolan's POV
• It wasn’t supposed to end this way. For days, I had turned it over and over in my mind, hoping that somewhere there was a version of events where I didn’t have to stand in judgment over someone I once called my closest confidant.
• But there wasn’t. The pieces had been set long before I realized the extent of the betrayal. I paced in the dim light of my chambers, the dull hum of the council gathering in the Great Hall beneath me.
