Jensen’s POV

The flickering blue and red lights had faded into the distance, taking Sharon with them, but the weight they left behind was crushing.

I stared at the spot where the tires had kicked up gravel.

If I had known that accepting Sharon’s help all those years ago would lead to this moment… would I still have agreed to it?

I wasn’t the type to waste time on such pointless hypotheticals.

Every choice I had made since that fire felt like a domino falling.

“Hansel,” I said, my voice sounding hollow even to my own ears.

“Yes, Alpha Jensen?”

My Beta was standing a few paces back.

I didn’t need to look at him to know his expression.

Hansel had been with me through everything.

He had seen Natalie’s quiet devotion for five years.

In those five years, there had never been this kind of chaos. Natalie had been the anchor I didn’t realize was holding the entire pack together.

But Sharon? She had been the official Luna of the pack for only a few weeks, and already the foundations were rotting,

To Hansel, Sharon had always been my downfall.

Still, he knew his place as a Beta.

“Find a lawyer to follow her to the station,” I ordered, my eyes fixed on the empty road. “The best one in the pack and no matter what happens during the interrogation, make sure Sharon doesn’t end up in prison.”

The enforcers who took her were from the Accord, I had no say in the arrest.

The look on her face as I let them take her was something that might haunt me for days.

If the Luna of the Nightfang pack ended up in a cell for attempted murder, the Accord would use it as an excuse to dismantle my authority entirely.

I was protecting the pack, I told myself

But Cairn, my wolf, let out a low, cynical growl in the back of my mind. ‘You are protecting a criminal, Jensen.

you one.

That also makes

Hansel nodded, his jaw tight.

Il contact the legal team immediately, Alpha.”

When I had been with Natalie, none of this insanity-had ever happened.

There were no black-market poisons, no beggars in lounges, no flashing blue tights at my gate.

There was only the scent of old paper, the scratch of her pen, and the feeling that as long as she was there, the world made sense.

But then, that man’s face rose in my mind like a dark omen.

That man.

The way he held her.

The way he looked at me hatred as if I were an insect he had already decided to drush.

Who exactly was he?

I pulled out my phone and sent a message to Hansel, even though he was only ten feet away.

[Investigate the man at Natalie’s side. I want everything. His pack, his holdings, his criminal record, and the source of his influence in the South. Do not leave a single stone unturned.]

After receiving the brief confirmation chime from Hansel, I turned and walked back into the cold, silent halls of the villa.

The house felt like a tomb.

I went to my dressing room, stripped off the clothes that still smelled of Sharon’s filth, and changed into a fresh suit.

I had no time for grief.

My pack was bleeding.

The Pack Elders were restless and smelling blood in the water,

As Alpha, I had no choice but to face the storm.

I had to go to the office and spin a lie that would save my reputation, even if I no longer believed the lie mysetí.

And yet, as I stepped back into my car to head for the pack office, a knot of feelings tightened my chest.

What do I do now?

Cairn didn’t answer immediately.

Then-

“You already know,’ he said finally, his voice low and heavy. ‘You just don’t like the answer.

My grip tightened on the steering wheel

“I will not destroy my own Luna based on a single confession,” I said coldly

Even to my own ears, it sounded like a defense relicarsed too many times

Cairn tet out a dark chuckle.

‘Luna?’ he repeated. ‘Is that what you still call her?

My jaw locked.

‘You saw her tonight,’ Cairn continued. ‘Truly saw her’

A slow, suffocating pressure built in my chest.

I exhaled sharply, forcing it down.

“She’s irrelevant to this investigation,” I said.

Cairn didn’t bother arguing and that was somehow worse.

By the time I reached the pack office, the building was already lit like a war council.

I walked through the doors without slowing.
