Richard’s words hung in the air between us, his expression unusually gentle as he looked at me.
“I misjudged you before, and I caused you pain,” he said, his voice lower than I’d ever heard it. “I want to apologize and ask
for your forgiveness.”
My throat tightened. The Alpha King of the Northwest territories was apologizing to me.

This isn’t your fault,” I said quickly. “It never was.”

Richard moved closer, his imposing frame somehow less intimidating than before. “I used to think like many others–that white wolves were dangerous, unpredictable, a threat to humans. Three years ago, relations between humans and our kind were particularly unstable. I felt I had no choice but to support the decision to exile you.” He sighed heavily. “But Devon has told me who you really are. I’ve chosen to believe him, and I’ve spent months searching for evidence. Finally, I found

He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small USB drive, offering it to me. “This contains proof that you weren’t

My hand trembled as I took the drive. In that moment, I realized I didn’t care as much about the evidence itself as I did about what it represented. The Alpha King of the Northwest packs–the most powerful werewolf in this part of the country -was treating me like I mattered. Like I belonged.

Devon, the feeling was overwhelming.
Devon stepped forward, placing his hand gently on my back. “I think we should go,” he said softly. “Give Evelyn some time to process this.”
I nodded, still unable to form words around the lump in my throat.
As we walked to the car, I found my voice again. “I want to see my grandfather,” I said. “Can we go to the care facility?”
Devon’s eyes softened. “Of course.”

sound of our footsteps, he tried to stand, his movements stiff and labored.
“Don’t get up!” I rushed forward, helping him back into his seat. “Your heart hasn’t fully recovered from the last episode.
You shouldn’t be moving around so much.”
William’s eyes crinkled as he smiled at me, then shifted his gaze to Devon, his expression hardening. “What is he doing
here?”
“Grandpa, it’s just Devon. You’ve met him before,” I said, placing my hand on his arm. “He’s helped me a lot.”
Devon stepped forward, his posture straight but not challenging. “I came to speak with you, sir.”
“What about?” My grandfather’s voice was gruff.
