Chapter 28 Captured Hearts

The night had fallen silent again, the heavy sounds of the hunt now replaced with the stillness of a forest caught between worlds. The rogue had been taken back to the pack, bound and confined, but his words continued to echo in Lyra’s mind. He hadn’t betrayed them, hadn’t been the threat they thought. She couldn’t shake the sense of guilt that clung to her—the choice between duty and compassion had never felt so heavy. As they walked back to the camp, Lyra's thoughts remained clouded, a battle of emotions she didn’t know how to process. Kaidën walked at her side, his presence a solid comfort amidst the chaos within her.
