My eyes blurred with tears. "I'm sorry… I never intended for things to end up like this."
"Get her out of my sight! Take her to her quarters!" he shouted.
Without a shred of kindness, two guards seized me, their grip harsh and unforgiving, treating me like some criminal off the street. Not like the Alpha’s daughter. Not even like a person.
They threw me into my room, and I collapsed onto the floor with a heavy thud. I didn’t move. I simply stared at the ceiling, detached from everything.
Why did I return at all?
The ache inside me was suffocating—an unbearable weight.
Why was I still breathing? Just to be called a killer? To be rejected by my own family? Betrayed by the one person I had given my heart to?
Moon Goddess, what sin did I commit to deserve this torment?
My wolf whimpered quietly within me, sensing my torment and heartbreak. She urged me to endure, to fight for what was right.
But what remained worth fighting for?
I forced myself to sit up and glanced down at my trembling hands—bloodied and torn, the wounds refusing to close quickly.
I had nothing left to give.
