Breed Me. Daddy Alpha – Chapter 316

“If the letter is so damning, why not lead with that? Expose the threats from Silverpine Pack and tell them that they should stay indoors in case not submitting to Silverpine’s demands makes them trigger-happy and creates victims among the populace,” Gallinti asked. “Why the roundabout way? It feels convoluted.” Genuine curiosity colored his voice, as though he was actually giving me a chance to change his view on my plan.

I began to speak, just as Victoriana took over. “I will enlighten him, Luna. I see what you see,” her voice was assuring.

Victoriana turned to Gallinti fully, her presence filling the chamber more than it already had.

“There are two outcomes if we reveal those letters too soon,” she said, her tone even but edged like steel. “First, the people are already agitated. If we show them proof that Silverpine threatens us, they will scatter like startled birds, desperate to flee before the trap closes. And second, suspicion. Doubt. They will whisper the council forged the words—that we created fear to tighten our grip. Either way, panic and mistrust will spill into the streets.”

Her voice deepened, deliberate. “And while we are busy choking on that chaos, Silverpine will strike. They will not waste the opportunity—our civilians unshielded, our leaders distracted, reasoning corroded by fear. That is exactly when they will cut us open.”

The chamber stilled under her words.
