Chapter 136

• Morning arrived.
• I was taken from the prison and stood before the Elders of the council and the other pack members. I had wanted to scream at them but apparently, I couldn’t.
• The Gamma, a stern and imposing figure, read out my crime, his voice echoing through the hall. The weight of the accusation pressed down on me, suffocating in its severity. Witnesses were called out—three scouts, their eyes avoiding mine, and even my mother, her gaze cold and distant. Her testimony against me was a blade that had already cut too deep, leaving me numb to the pain.
