DANIEL

“To whom?” I asked.

“An external contact linked to Southern trade routes,” Cole replied. “No direct name yet.”

I exhaled slowly. “So Mark is getting restless.”

“Yes,” Cole said. “He’s been quiet for too long.”

“Keep him contained,” I said. “No escalation.”

That night, Amy and I walked the inner grounds again. “Do you ever think about how different things could have been?” she asked quietly.

“I do,” I admitted. “But I don’t regret where we are now.”

She stopped and looked at me. “Neither do I.”

I placed my hand over hers. “Whatever comes next, we face it together.”

Before I left, I sat with her while she ate. She moved slower than usual, but her eyes were steady.

“You don’t have to carry all of this alone,” she said quietly.

“I know,” I replied. “But today is about watching, not acting.”

She reached for my hand. Our bond hummed low and steady. My wolf acknowledged hers without tension. That balance mattered.

“I’ll be here when you’re done,” she said.

I nodded and leaned down to press my forehead to hers. “Rest. If anything changes, Cole will alert me.”

The tribunal chamber was already filled when I arrived. Clara was brought in moments later. She looked thinner. Not weak, but worn. She had slept little. That kind of strain showed even when someone tried to hide it.

The lead examiner opened with a summary of the previous findings. Financial discrepancies. munication gaps. Indirect contacts. Nothing new, but the framing was sharper. The

enior auditor from the neutral territories took the floor. “During an independent review,” he ud, “we identified a classified transport route used during the period of Amy’s disappearance. The route was inactive publicly but operational privately.”

Clara’s eyes flicked up.

The auditor continued. “This route does not link directly to the Southern Alpha. However, it intersects with a shell entity previously associated with Elias.”

A murmur ran through the chamber.

The examiner turned to Clara. “Were you aware of this route?”

Clara took a breath. “I was aware of several inactive routes,” she said. “Many were maintained as contingencies. I did not manage them directly.”

“Did Elias?” the examiner asked.

“He handled external contingencies,” Clara replied. “That was his role.”

“So you deferred operational control to him,” the examiner said.

“Yes,” Clara said. “Within limits.”

That answer didn’t help her.

As the questioning continued, I noticed movement among the observers. Two delegates exchanged looks. One quietly left the chamber. Cole noticed it too. He stepped closer to the wall unit, already communicating with his team.

This was the new conflict I had been expecting. Not Clara’s guilt, but the exposure of hidden infrastructure. Routes, funds, and systems built for situations no one admitted preparing for.

After the session recessed, Cole approached me. “We intercepted activity on that route,” he said. “Not recent. But someone accessed archived logs last night.”

“Who?” I asked.

“Unknown,” he replied. “But it wasn’t Clara. She doesn’t have clearance anymore.”
