Elena’s POV

James‘ right… It could never be forgotten. The pain and the wounds that those deaths brought to us will always be engraved in our hearts. It would be like a thorn in our hearts that would make us bleed every now and then.

But all we could do was live with it.

A bitter smirk formed on my lips as my eyes glistened with suppressed tears. “I guess we aren’t so different, are we?”

Shrugging my shoulders, I shook my head slowly as I bit the inside of my cheek and clenched my fist. “You lost your brother, and I… I lost everyone. The pain may never fade, but it has shaped us both.”

Seeing the pain and sorrow building up in his eyes, his body tensed, and his shoulders slouched, I opened my lips with hesitation and softened my tone as I spoke with empathy, “I know that I am not qualified to apologize for what happened to Kurt. But know this, the agony you and I feel today is something we will always carry. As much as it broke us, it molded us to be stronger.”

Those words seemed to have broken down his walls as his eyes glistened and his chin trembled, trying to contain his emotions. A small smile formed on his lips as he took a deep breath. “Your words… as ironic as it may seem, but they comforted me. Not for myself but for my pack. Your acknowledgment means more than you realize, Elena Dooely.”

He somehow always ended up calling me by my full name, but as weird as it might be if I heard it from others, it sounded great coming from him. Whenever he called me by that, it seemingly laced with admiration and respect.

Prince Deacon then squeezed my hand again before he let it go and stepped forward. Glancing back and forth between me and James, he emphatically and authoritatively uttered, “The pain of the past cannot be undone, but actions in the present matter. This war was not just about territory or pride but about justice.”

Looking at James, Prince Deacon stared at him for a while and asked seriously, “Tell us, what does your pack intend to do now?”

When we heard that, all the emotions swirling around us earlier disappeared, suddenly, it all came back to political conversation.

James stood up properly and stretched his slouched shoulders earlier. Looking back at Prince Deacon, he spoke steadily, “Our pack will only reconcile in respect and with the memory of Elena’s family and pack.”

He said that while glancing at me. After that, he shrugged and looked back at Prince Deacon, shaking his head in emphasis, “Aside from her, owe no one else–neither the Rogues nor the kingdom–our allegiance. We will never interfere with the war again.”

James then shifted his gaze, his eyes sharpening. Looking at Bryson with narrowed eyes, he said, “This war for us ends with Glenda’s punishment being served.”

Upon hearing that, Bryson took a breath, his jaws clenched. He was about to take a step forward, but Prince Deacon gave him a sharp gaze, which he immediately recognized, causing him to freeze on his spot.

After a slight pause, James smirked victoriously and continued with words provoking Bryson.

“Humiliating her was our sole purpose for joining this war. Since justice has been served, we will now return to the kingdom to face the punishment we deserve.”

To say that I wasn’t surprised a little by that would be a lie. I couldn’t believe that he was very rational about all of this. He didn’t even try to hide what he did, nor did he try to make an excuse. He knew it was against the law but

still did it anyway for justice and their family’s grievances.

And he did all that with the knowledge and preparation to face punishment once he accomplished his purpose. But as much as his words and actions increased my respect for him, they only heightened Bryson’s anger. Losing control, he stepped forward and recklessly pushed James, which didn’t affect him much. With golden eyes, his wolf and he combined with rage as he growled, “You fucking bastard! I’ll make you pay for what you did to Glenda! She isn’t the wrong one here! Stop putting the blame on her for your mistakes!”

I looked at Bryson, utterly dumbfounded, and shook my heal. He’s hopeless.

James shook his head and let out a sneer. “You really need to have your brain and eyes checked on, Alpha Bryson.” “Bryson, stop! You’re not helping!” I intervened just before he struck a punch on James.
