Dominic's POV
My father's weary eyes locked onto mine, dark and heavy with the weight of the truth he was about to reveal. It was as if a fire inside him had burned out, leaving only the ashes of a long-held burden. And in that moment, I understood.
I knew what I had to do.
Drawing on my Alpha power , I let my voice echo through the grand hall. "Everyone, leave. Now." My command left no room for argument.
Nick stepped forward, awaiting my orders. "Lock up every rogue who tried to kill me," I instructed. "And Eva… put her in the cells too, but in a separate one. I don't want the others to kill her."
Nick's face darkened, his jaw tightening. I knew this would hurt him, but it had to be done.
