Chapter 92 – The Guilt That Doesn't Let Him Rest
POV: Kael
I had spent years learning how to identify threats.
Some announced themselves openly. They arrived with bared teeth, drawn weapons, and clear intentions. Others hid beneath smiles and false promises, waiting for the right moment to strike. Regardless of the form they took, I had always trusted my instincts to recognize danger when it appeared.
That certainty was becoming increasingly difficult to rely on.
Because the threat I sensed now wasn't standing beyond our borders.
It wasn't hiding among rival packs.
It wasn't an enemy preparing for war.
It was something happening to Liora.
And I had no idea how to stop it.
The realization had followed me for days.
