Chapter 84 Shattered Brotherhood

Baron’s POV

The moment my words fell, Finn collapsed onto the floor.

Terror flooded his eyes.

Looking at the fury radiating from me, he suddenly understood.

The game was over… He was finally caught.

“You knew all along?” he whispered, his voice shaky.

“I gave you more than one chance, Finn,” I said, my voice shaking with a barely restrained rage that felt like it would tear my chest open.

My teeth clenched as I ground out, “If I’d known giving you those chances would cost Yvonne her life, I’d have ended you the first time I saw the lie in your scent.”

Finn’s body went slack.

He didn’t fight.

He didn’t reach for a weapon.

Instead, he began to laugh – a dry, choking sound

I didn’t stop him.

turned into a sob… He looked like a madman.

At this moment, I had no strength left for empty arguments, there was only the dead girl on the table and the traitor on the floor.

After a while, the laughter died out.

Finn crawled across the floor, his fingers dragging against the tiles until he reached the edge of the table where Yvonne’s body lay.

He knocked his head to the ground three times – the ancient sign of a wolf seeking a forgiveness that would never come. “Yvonne… I’m sorry! It’s my fault! The one who should be dead is me!”

He pressed his forehead to the cold floor and wailed.

I reached down, grabbing him by the back of his neck and yanking him away from the table.

The smell of his grief was offensive to me now.

“Don’t you dare sully her path to the afterlife with your fake repentance!” I snarled. “She respected you. She trusted you like a brother – no, she loved you like a mentor. Yet what did you do? You sent her to her death. She defended you even after seeing the evidence, you deserve to rot in hell.”

“I didn’t mean to! I had no choice!”

Finn’s face twisted as regret burned through him – I could see it in the way his pupils dilated

I sat in the main chair, trying to contain Raze’s anger.

“Talk… I want the timeline, Finn. When did you start betraying me? How did you control Phantom, forcing her to fail in her mission to protect Natalie? And why did you send Yvonne to that hotel today? What were you after?”

Finn’s eyes widened as he realized that I knew about everything and had been watching him for weeks.

He slumped against the floor, wiping away the blood from his now healed lips.

“Baron… I never wanted to betray you. Never. The pack… you… you were my life,”

“Useless words,” I said, my voice cold as a winter grave. “Look at Yvonne. How will you answer to her? You knew what Phantom meant to her. You knew she was the only family that girl had left, and yet you let Phantom die in that fire. Tell me, how did you face Yvonne’s trusting eyes every day, knowing you were the one who lit the match?”

Finn’s eyes flooded again, the tears spilling over his almost healed cheeks.

“I didn’t kill Phantom,” he gasped, his voice desperate. “I only… I only stopped her from protecting Natalie at that moment. I thought if Natalie was gone, the Pack would focus on the foreign threat. I thought I was protecting our interests-”

“But you knew,” I cut him off, my voice dropping to a whisper. “You knew Phantom would be punished for failing her mission. Whether or not she burned in that fire, she would not have survived the fallout of failing to guard a priority asset.”

Finn bit down so hard on his lip that blood trickled down his chin again, mixing with the tears.

He didn’t seem to care.

Finally, hoarse and broken, Finn whispered, “Do you think I wanted this? Do you think I wanted her harmed? I loved her more than anyone in this world.”

His shoulders shook, his forehead resting against the tile.

I said nothing.

I simply waited.

Finn drew a ragged breath. “Phantom and I… we were lovers. We never announced it to the Pack. I wanted to give her a name, to make her my mate legally, but she always said her rank was too low and you wouldn’t approve of a high–ranking officer mating with a field agent. She told me to wait until I had enough power to protect her, I never thought that wait would last forever.”

He glanced up at me, searching for a spark of surprise, of betrayal but he saw nothing.

1 stared right at him without a change in expression.

“You knew,” he realized, his voice hollowing out. “You knew about us.”

“Of course! knew,” I said. “I am the Alpha… Nothing happens in my pack without my knowledge. But didn’t ask you because it was your private life… who you loved wasn’t my business as long as you did your duty. As your brother, I only wished you happiness. I was waiting for you to come to me.”
