The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna (Amorah and Holmes) novel Chapter 84

CONRAD

Messages flooded every Alpha network after Bethany’s statement spread publicly, and by morning several parks had array started questioning whether Amorah had been connected to the twins long before Obsidian Hollow

I stood inside the command hall reviewing incoming reports while wolves moved quickly around the carrying tables and council updates.

“They are pushing the same accusation repeatedly,” my beta reported while placing another file onto the table. Mos di traces back to Silvercrest supporters.”

“They want uncertainty,” I answered coldly. “Uncertainty spreads faster than proof

My beta hesitated briefly before continuing. “Several Alphas are requesting darification about Arora’s involvement directly.”

I looked up slowly. “Then they can ask me publicly.”

Amorah entered the hall several minutes later with tension already visible in her expression. She stopped beside mae scanning the scattered reports covering the table.

“It spread further than I expected,” she murmured.

“That was Bethany’s intention,” I replied. “She cannot attack you physically anymore, so now she attacks perception”

Amorah folded her arms loosely. “And Holmes benefits from it.”

“He benefits from anything that weakens my position before succession judgment.”

She stayed silent for a moment before finally asking, “How bad is it?”

I met her gaze directly. “Bad enough that several Alphas requested emergency discussion rights before noon. Her jaw tightened slightly. I could see the frustration building beneath the calm expression she tried ma “This is ridiculous,” she muttered. “Bethany created the rituals herself”

r “And now she wants everyone questioning why the twins connected to you instead of her.” I answered

The anger in her eyes sharpened immediately after that, She understood exactly what Bethany was don “She is trying to make me look involved from the beginning”

“She is trying to isolate you politically.” i corrected. “That way, when Holmes pushes success stand beside either of us.”

Amorah exhaled slowly before reaching for another report. Then we deal with it directly

Several hours later, the emergency Alpha gathering began through secured counca crannch hall while representatives from multiple territories appeared one after ancaber

“That accusation is false” I answered immediately.

Holmes leaned back slightly before speaking for the first time. “Fake according to who?”

The room shifter instantly.

“According to me.” I replied coldly,

Holmes smiled faintly. “Your judgment is exactly what this council has started questioning”

One female Alpha finally spoke. “If there truly is no connection, then why did the twins attach themselves to her spectically?

“Because Bethany manipulated them,” Amorah answered sharply beside me.

Several Alphas looked toward her immediately.

Amorah stepped closer to the center table without backing down. “Those children were used repeatedly for rituals tied to bloodline manipulation. Bethany failed to control the result afterward, and now she wants someone else blamed for it.”

Holmes gave a quiet laugh. “Convenient explanation.”

I turned toward him fully then. “Questioning Amorah’s integrity is equivalent to questioning my authority directly.”

I did not look away from Holmes while continuing. “She stands beside me under my protection and my word. Any accusation against her becomes an accusation against this territory itself.”

Holmes‘ expression hardened slightly after that.

“You are placing a great deal of trust in her publicly,” he observed.

“I am placing her where she belongs,” I replied.

The moment we returned to my private chambers, the strain hit harder.

“Conrad?”

I tried answering, but the pressure worsened too quickly. The next thing I knew, my hand slammed agains the edge of the desk to keep myself upright.

1 closed my eyes briefly while forcing my breathing back under control. Her hand remained against my arm the entire time.

After several moments. I finally looked toward her again.

“The bloodline instability is progressing faster now,” I admitted quietly. “The succession challenge accelerated it.”

Amorah stayed crouched beside me without moving away. “What happens if it keeps getting worse?”

Her expression shifted immediately. “Conrad.”

“If I lose control during formal succession judgment, the council can strip authority from me completely.” I answered. “And if the instability fully breaks through before stabilization…

I stopped there.

Amorah stared at me carefully before finishing the thought herself. “It could kill you.”

I looked away instead of answering directly.

“You have been carrying this alone the entire time,” she murmured.

“That was my responsibility.”

“No” she replied firmly. “That was your
