the surface started to slip out in the form of a curled lip.
“Combined with my half-brother’s confession about their plot as well as the words that Zoe spoke at our
wedding-talking about killing Hannah-Tbelleve that the truth becomes clear,” Noah said. “Zoe was planning to
plant Adam as my heir and get rid of me, eventually using his birthright as Scott's biological son to gain even
more claim to Nightcrest. This was a long-term plan to overthrowand take control of my pack.”

The room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop. | was practically on the edge of my seat, my knuckles white
around the arms of my chair as | watched Zoe's perfect mask crack just a little bit more.
With that, the Council members retreated to deliberate, leaving the rest of us to wait in tense silence.
They were in there for hours this time.
The courtroom grew restless, people murmuring amongst themselves, pacing, seven leaving. | could hardly
move from my seat, my body frozen as | stared back and forth between Noah and Zoe.
Zoe remained stiff. Impassive.
But | could practically smell her fear from here.

gavel on the panel to quiet the murmuring crowd.
“After careful consideration of all evidence presented,” the Alpha began, “we find Zoe guilty of treason against
an Alpha. She is hereby sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility of parole.”
The room erupted into chaos, but | barely heard it. All | could see was Zoe's trembling, beet red face, her mask of
perfection finally shattering as the reality of her situation set in.
As Zoe was led away in handcuffs, silent and seething with barely-contained rage, | made my way to Noah. He
opened his arms, and | fell into them, feeling the last of my tension melt away.
“It's over,” | whispered, my voice muffled against his chest. “They're really gone. All of them.”
Noah heldtightly, his chin resting on top of my head. “Yes, they are. We can finally move forward.”

Something | should have told you the truth about a long tago.”
His face fell, and the expression broke my heart. “What is it?” he all but whispered.
| closed my eyes for a moment, gathering my courage. When | opened them again, it wasn’t easy, but somehow

Noah nodded slowly, realization dawning in his eyes. “Yes...”
I swallowed hard.
“I wasn’t joking, Noah,” | said softly. “What | said that night is true... A year and schange ago, | died and
cback to life. And | can’t go another day without telling you my story.”
