Silas ignored me and continued talking to Laila. Everyone in my country respects General Conlay. He fought our army, but he always played by the rules and never hurt our civilians.”
His voice got hoarser. “What happened to the Conlays … I’m truly sorry. Solantian owes you for that.”
He looked straight at Laila.
“But only you-the Conlays.”
Laila’s eyes instantly turned red, glowing like a wolf’s in the dark.
I could smell the grief coming off her-it was heavy and bitter.
So, it was true?
Maris broke the warrior’s oath? Every Rydar soldier swore to the Moon Goddess. “I swear to protect my people with claw and fang, to never spill innocent blood, and to never disgrace the defeated.”
The screams from the Conlays that night, the bodies everywhere—was all of that because of her cruelty?
“By the Moon,” Victor growled in my mind. “No wonder they came to Vagen to hunt her down. Damn it! She’s disgraced the Moon Goddess. She’s disgraced the honor of the Rydar Kingdom.”
He let out a whimpering sound. It was rare for a wolf spirit to feel this much shame. And we dumped our fate mate for a snake like her?”
My stomach twisted. I could barely stand.
Laila’s POV:
He still didn’t mention the Solantian crown prince killing himself after being humiliated.
He only talked about the town massacre.
Solantian didn’t owe the Rydar Kingdom. They only owed the Conlays.
After my father and brothers died, the Conlays of Silvermoon Pack was left with only females and pups. All the male warriors were gone.

Silas couldn’t accept what happened to their prince, but he also couldn’t deal with the fact that innocent women and kids were slaughtered because of it.
He apologized to me.
But their crown prince … would never get an apology from Maris.
On the Vagen Battlefield, Solantian soldiers had taken revenge on the Rydar Kingdom. Even though they lost more blood in the end.
Still, this had to end.
Two powerful neighboring countries couldn’t stay enemies forever.
The border needed trade. The packs needed contact. Wounds needed time to heal.
That was Silas’s bigger picture.
It was also Samuel’s.
Otherwise, this conversation wouldn’t be happening today.
I stayed silent for a long time.
My eyes were stinging, but I finally looked up at him.
“Maris and her hundreds of soldiers are probably dead or crippled by now. You got your revenge,” I said, my voice hoarse and almost lost in the wind. “But the Solantian assassins who wiped out my family made it back alive. My revenge isn’t over. They owe me their lives.”
Silas stared at me.
Those usually strong eyes now held deep sorrow
“If that’s the case…” he said slowly, “Then nothing is owed anymore. I personally executed every assassin who made it back.”
He paused for a long time before continuing. “But our grief will never go away. It’s a shame carved into our bones. Killing Maris and everyone involved can’t erase it.”
I nodded quietly.
I got it.
“I don’t have the right to apologize for anyone,” said, looking him in the eye. “But this … shame carried by everyone in Rydar Kingdom who knows the truth.”
