Chapter 131

With a sudden surge of determination, she raised her chin, her eyes blazing with defiance. “You stand here alone, Alpha,” she declared, her voice steady and unwavering. “You require someone from the pack at your side. Even if I am not your Luna, it is undeniable that I hold a significant place within the pack and, by extension, within the kingdom. To abandon you in this moment would be a betrayal of sorts. No, I refuse to leave without you.”

Her reasoning struck me as utterly absurd. I was more than capable of standing alone in this situation. A chaperone was not a necessity for me. Yet, as I pondered her words, a flicker of doubt crept into my mind. Perhaps I could be persuaded after all. Not because I craved company, but rather because I sensed that Amelia would prefer I not be here at all.

The weight of the event loomed large, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that my presence would complicate things for her. Amelia deserved a flawless occasion, a celebration in her honor, free from any turmoil or distraction.

I realized I couldn’t allow Claire to believe my decision to leave stemmed from her insistence. No, the truth was far more complicated. It was Amelia’s quiet influence that guided me to this conclusion.

“I will go,” I stated firmly, my voice steady, “And you, too, will leave. We shall do this not for any other reason but to grant Amelia the space she rightfully deserves.”

Claire’s expression shifted, her brow furrowing as she processed my words. Though she remained silent, the tension in her posture spoke volumes. “Whatever you think,” she replied, her tone laced with resignation.

The air between us felt thick with unspoken thoughts, and I couldn’t help but wonder how this decision would ripple through the pack. Would they understand? Would they see the wisdom in giving Amelia the solitude she needed? I glanced at Claire, her defiance still flickering in her eyes, and felt a pang of regret. I wished things could be different, that my choices didn’t have to hurt those I cared about. But in this moment, my loyalty lay with Amelia, and I had to follow that instinct, no matter how difficult the path ahead might be.
