Chapter 54: The Weight of Loss
The walk back to the packhouse was silent.
White Moon warriors flanked them, their eyes filled with a mixture of shock and grief.
Gavin had been one of their own.
And now, he was dead by their Alpha's hands.
When they reached the packhouse, Sage was already waiting at the entrance, her expression tight.
"It's done?"
Dante nodded once.
Sage exhaled slowly, rubbing a hand over her face.
"Fuck."
Bella felt the same.
Because while Gavin had betrayed them—his death wasn't a victory.
It was a warning.
Mikhail's influence had already spread inside White Moon.
And if Gavin had fallen to it…
Who else had?
