THE ALPHA'S BETRAYAL

<p>Gabriel stood at the edge of the war tent, staring at the horizon where it was about to be the dawn of the day. The day had been spent staring at the horizon for answers as if it created it. The night felt suffocating, the weight of his decision pressing down on him like a big shackle around his waist. Cassian's ultimatum kept playing in his mind, surrender his leadership and allow the enemy to claim everything he had fought for, everything he had sacrificed for, or watch Aveline die at dawn.</p>

<p>Inside the dark, wet prison cell, Aveline sat motionless exhausted while also attending to her injuries both physical and mental., her hands bound by silver chains. The burning pain from the restraint moved into her bones, but she refused to show weakness. Across from her, Cassian leaned against the cell bars, his expression was arrogant. He was ready to wait out the ultimatum and enjoy his dealings with both Gabriel and Aveline.</p>
