Chapter 291

• Aurélie POV
• “I don’t know what my parents would have done,” I say, my voice shaking despite my effort to steady it. “They’re dead—dead because of power-hungry traitors like you. I won’t put my family or my pack at risk the same way.”
• I step back from him, my entire body trembling with fury. The audacity of him using my parents, their brutal, cold-blooded murders, as leverage to sway me. As if invoking their deaths could weaken my resolve.
