Chapter 241 SONIAS POV What should we do .
1 question my wolf who was already fast asleep but no response came from her .
She must be really tired from all the c stress knowing fully well we are pregnant .
across the The moon hung high in the night sky , its light spilling through the large windows of the council room .
The shadows stretched long across polished floor , a quiet reminder of the darkness that seemed to surround us on all sides .
I stood near the window , arms crossed tightly over my chest , my thoughts as turbulent as the storm threatening to break outside .
Behind me , Ramon paced , his movements agitated , his breaths uneven .
We hadnt spoken since Id told him about Daniel .
Not really .
We had shared words , yes , sharp ones , bitter ones , but nothing that brought us closer to understanding or resolution .
Now , in the heavy silence of this room , the weight of what we had to decide loomed like a guillotine .
He betrayed us , Sonia , Ramon said finally , breaking the silence .
His voice was low , raw with anger and hurt .
He betrayed me .
I dont know how you can even consider letting him live .
1 turned to face him , my own frustration bubbling just beneath the surface , Because ifave kill him , we lose any chance we have of turning this against Lorena .
I said , keeping my voice steady despite the tremor in my hands .
And if we lose that chance , more lives are at risk lies , and hope His pacing stopped , and he looked at me , his eyes dark with anger and confusion .
So , what ? We keep him alive , let him feed Lorena lies she doesnt catch on ! Do you really trust him not to betray us again ? I flinched at the question , the truth cutting deeper than I wanted to admit .
No , I said quietly .
I dont trust him .
But this isnt about trust , Ramon , Its about strategy .
About doing what we have to , even when it feels wrong He shook his head , his jaw tightening .
Youre asking me to gamble the lives of this pack on a man whos already proven he cant be trusted .
Thats not strategy .
Sonia .
Thats desperation .
And whats the alternative ? I snapped , my voice rising .
We execute him ! Make an example of him ? How does that help us stop Lorena ? How does that protect the pack ? It sends a message he said , his voice cold .
It shows everyone , Lorena included , that betrayal wont be tolerated.
And what message does it send to the people who are afraid ? The ones who might be tempted to turn against us because they think we cant protect them ! Killing him doesnt make us stronger , Ramon .
It makes us weaker , Youre asking me to His fists clenched at his sides , his frustration boiling over .
Youre asking me to put my faith in a man whos already shattered it .
Y put this packs survival in the hands of someone who nearly destroyed it .
Do you know how insane that sounds ? I know .
I said , my voice breaking I know how it sounds .
But I also know that if we let our anger guide us , well lose sight of whats important .
This [ snt about Daniel , Ramon , Its about Lorena .
Its always been about Lorena .
The silence that followed was deafening , the kind that made every second stretch into an eternity .
I turned back to the window , my reflection staring back at me , pale and tired .
I hate this , I said softly , more to myself than to him .
I hate that were even having this conversation .
That someone we trusted , someone we cared alut , did this to us think it Karon stepped closer , his presence a licavy warmth at my doesnt tear me apart to know that the man I trusted with my life betrayed me ? That he betrayed us ? back .
You think I dont feel the same ? he asked , his voice quieter now .
You thin I turned to face him , and for the first time that night , I saw the pain in his eyes , the hurt buried beneath the anger .
Then you know why we have to use him , I said , my voice trembling .
Hecause if we let this anger consume us , want to destroy u .
if we let it dictate our choices , were no better than the people who y with emotion .
Do you think hes telling He didnt respond right away , his gaze dropping to the floor .
When he finally spoke , his voice was heavy the truth About why he did it I hesitated , my thoughts a whirlwind .
I dont know , Ladmitted .
Bast enough to make him trustworthy- I shook my head .
I dont know at I think hes scared .

And I think he regrets what hes done .
Whether thats And what if were wrong ? he asked , his voice barely above a whisper , What if keeping him alive costs us everything ! 11:04 AM ₫ σ = Chapter 211 Then thats a risk we have to take , I said , my heart aching with the weight of the words .
Because if we dont , were no closer to stopping Lorena than we were yesterday .
And we cant afford to stand still Ramon turned away, running a hand through his hair as he let out a frustrated sigh .
Youre asking me to set aside everything I feel .
To ignore what hes done and focus on the bigger picture .
Do you have any idea how hard that is ? Yes , I said , stepping closer .
Because Im asking myself to do the same thing He looked at me then , and for a moment , I saw the man I had fallen in love with the man who carried the weight of the world on his shoulders but still found a way to move forward Youre stronger than you think , Ramon .
I said softly .
Stronger than me , even .
And I need you to be strong now , because I cant do this alone .
His gaze softened , and he reached out , his hand brushing against mine .
Youre not alone , he said , his voice steady .
You never will be .
For a moment , we stood there , the weight of our decision hanging between us .
Fine , he said finally , his tone reluctant but resolute .
Well use him .
But the second he steps out of line , the second he gives me a reason to doubt him hes done .
I nodded , my heart heavy .
Agreed .
Later that night , I sat alone in the nursery , watching the night sky from the room that has already been decorated for my pups that are to be born to this world .
Im sorry , I whispered , my voice barely audible .
Im sorry for wanting to bring you into this .
For not being able to protect you Tears pricked my eyes , but I blinked them away , refusing to let them fall .
I had to be strong , for them , for Ramon , for the pack .
As I sat there , the weight of our decision pressed down on me, suffocating and relentless .
Keeping Daniel alive felt like the right choice , but the doubt lingered , gnawing at the edges of my resolve … the way I should .
What if Ramon was right ? What if I was wrong ! Well figure this out , I whispered , more to myself than to my already exhausted wolf .
We have to .
