Chapter 243 SONIAS POV The small room was cloaked in shadow , the flickering candlelight doing little to dispel the oppressive darkness that seemed to close in around us .
I stood near the door , my arms crossed tightly against my chest , watching Daniel as he sat at the table , his head bowed .
The man before me looked like a ghost of the trusted Omega Id once known .
His shoulders slumped , his face hollow with guilt and exhaustion .
But it wasnt pity that churned in my chest , it was anger .
Anger at him , at Lorena , and at the impossible situation we found ourselves in .
Ramon stood at the far side of the room , his presence a quiet storm of barely y restrained fury .
His hands were balled into fists , his jaw tight as he stared at Daniel , waiting for him to speak .
The silence streiched between us , heavy and suffocating , until I couldnt take it anymore .
Say something 1 demanded , my voice sharp Daniel flinched but didnt lift his head .
What do you want me to say , Luna he asked , his voice hoarse .
That Im sorry ! That I regret what Ive donc Because I do .
I regret every second of it .
Regret doesnt fix this , I snapped , my nails digging into my palms , Regret doesnt bring back the lives that have been lost because doesnt undo the damage youve caused .

I know , he said quietly .
But I dont know how to make it right .
You make it right by helping us , Ramon said , his voice low but edged with steel .
Damel finally lifted his head , his eyes meeting Ramons .
How ? he asked , his voice trembling .
How do I help you after everything Ive done ? You cant trust me Youre right .
Ramon said coldly .
I dont trust you , any longer .
And I never will .
But that doesnt mean youre useless .
Daniel flinched again , the words hitting him like a blow .
I glanced at Ramon , seeing the anger simmering just beneath the surface , He was holding himself together for my sake , for the packs sake , but I knew it was taking everything he had not to lash out .
We need you to act as a spy , I said , my voice softer now .
Feed Lorena false information .
Make her think youre still working Daniels eyes widened , his face You want me to go back to her ? for her .
Yes , Ramon said bluntly Daniel shook his head , panic flickering across his face .
Shell kill me if she even suspects Im lying to her .
You dont know what shes like … what she had turned into what shes capable of .
I know exactly what shes capable of , I said , my voice rising .
Shes been trying to destroy everything weve built for years .
But if youre too afraid to stand up to her , then maybe you dont deserve the second chance were offering you .

You owe Cade , the pack , and every person youve betrayed .
Your dont get to hide behind fear anymore .

The room fell ulent again , my words hanging in the air .

Okay , he said finally , his voice barely y above a whisper .
Til do it The agreement settled heavily in the room , but it didnt bring relief .
Instead , it felt like a fragile thread , ready to snap at any moment Ramon let out a sharp breath , running a hand through his hair as he stepped back .
Youll follow our orders to the letter , he said , his tone leaving no room for argument .
One misstep , one sign of betrayal , and you wont get another chance .
Daniel nodded , his hands trembling as he clutched the edge of the table .
I understand .
Good Raman said curtly .
Because your life depends on it us as palpable as the stone Lets go .
I said .
As the door to the holding cell closed behind us , Ramon and I stood in the hallway , the tension between us as walls surrounding us .
Do you think hell do it ? Ramon asked , his voice quiet but laced with doubt .
I hesitated , my gaze fixed on the floor .
I dont know , I admitted .
But I think hes scared enough to try .
Scared isnt the same as trustworthy , he said bitterly .
No , its not , I said , meeting his gaze .
But its all we have right now .
And if it gives us a chance to stop Lorena , then we have to take it , He sighed , his shoulders slumping as he leaned against the wall .
I hate this , he muttered .
So do 1.
I said softly .

I hope youre right , he said quietly touching my stomach .
