Chapter 280: Velaris

Killian’s POV

“Alpha, what should we do?” Ryder’s voice pulled me back from the brink of my spiraling thoughts.

His eyes bore into mine, tense with the weight of what we had just discovered. “What Giselle did… it’s worse than treason. We have proof of her betrayal. How should we deal with her?”

My heart raced, but I forced myself to stay calm. “Don’t alert her just yet,” I said firmly, my voice cutting through the tension like a knife.

Ryder looked at me, his eyes flickering with protest. “But, Alpha-”

I raised a hand to stop him, my voice low but unyielding. “We’re barely scratching the surface, Ryder. If Giselle could pull something like this off for years, then we’re dealing with something much bigger. There’s more to this than we realize.”
