CHAPTER 36

KADEN’S P.O.V

It took every ounce of self control that I had mastered over the years to stop me from responding to Gregory. I sat there immobile trying to figure out if I had heard properly when he branded his own daughter a traitor. I could tell that Caleb was holding his breath and waiting for my reaction but I stayed perfectly silent not saying a word.

I tried to reconcile the narrative he had just painted of Amelia to the scared girl who stumbled across my border and I just couldn’t see it. I could not see a reality where Amelia was a traitor or anything even related to being a traitor. I may not have known her for long but I knew and so did my wolf that she was not what Gregory said she was.
