“Why should I bear your pain? Going to the sanctum was your choice. I had nothing to do with it.”
Holt tried to pull his hand away.
I gritted my teeth. “You’re my mate. You promised you’d always protect me. Have you forgotten?”
“I already took the whipping for you. My back still aches. Isn’t that enough?”
“Ah… It hurts like hell… Holt, are you seriously just going to watch me die?
“If you share even half of it, I can survive these five years! Holt, help me, please!”
The silence stretched.
Holt stared at me for a long beat, then said slowly, “Maris, I’m your mate. I promise I won’t leave you. But…
“You should think of me, too.
“You’re already in this state, and you can’t earn any more merit. But I can’t stop. I still have to fight for the pack.
“If I endure this every full moon, Alpha King won’t assign me anymore.

Soldiers who wanted to stay could remain in Vagen.
Those who didn’t could go home.
Reinforcements from other regions marched back the same way they came.

For years, the Rydar Kingdom’s werewolves had wanted Vagen brought home, and now it had happened.
A month later, the legion finally reached the Royal Court.
The capital gates towered above, crowds pressing in.
Alpha King stood beneath the arch, a living shadow splitting the sky.
