Chapter 71

The moment Aurora saw Caelum Grafton stride into the terminal hall, she surged forward and threw herself into his arms. Her wolf trembled beneath her skin, eyes glistening as she looked up at him.

“Caelum… you’re angry with me too, aren’t you? You think I was reckless today?” Her voice was low, almost pleading. “But I swear, it wasn’t about Freya Thorne. I was only thinking of pack security, of safety. That’s all.”

Her grip on him tightened. “I know… I misjudged, I didn’t hold back when I should have, and things spun out of control.”

Then, as if her fangs could only sink into one scapegoat, she hissed, “But if Freya had spoken up sooner–if she had told everyone those ashes were her parents‘, war martyrs of the Iron Fang Recon Unit–none of this would’ve happened! She wanted me to stumble. She wanted to see me humiliated.”

Aurora placed the blame neatly on Freya’s shoulders, her wolf snarling softly behind the words.

Caelum looked down at the woman in his arms, his Alpha gaze steady. “But Aurora, didn’t Freya’s friend call out, right there, that the ashes were from fallen warriors? You just… didn’t believe them.”
