Chapter 487
3rd Person’s POV
“We heard about what happened in Lunera.” Thane’s expression was solemn, the usual calm he carried was nowhere to be found. “What Jude did was inexcusable, and we don’t support his actions in any way. He acted recklessly. His choices could have led to consequences none of us would have been able to undo.
His gaze shifted briefly toward Lylah.
“You could have been seriously hurt p>
Isaac’s shoulders tightened. “And this situation can’t be separated from Cora’s involvement.” The words seemed difficult for him to say. “She still chose to target Lylah. Whether we intended it or not, we share some responsibility for that p>
The admission left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Every misplaced loyalty had become another weapon she eventually turned against Lylah.
“Cora’s obsession didn’t come from nowhere,” Isaac said quietly. “The resentment she carried only grew because of us. Because we kept giving her reasons to believe she mattered more than she did p>
Ezra looked entirely unimpressed.
Apologies changed nothing.
The Alpha was already wondering how quickly he could end this conversation and get them away from his mate when another voice cut through the gathering.
“This time, I completely agree with you, Sir Grey and Sir Blackridge p>
Everyone turned.
Tiara marched across the courtyard like a storm given she-wolf form.
Despite her pregnancy, she moved with alarming speed, one hand planted on her hip and determination blazing in her eyes.
“Tiara-” Lylah barely got the name out before her friend continued.
“Let
“Let me finish.” She stopped directly in front of Isaac and Thane, looking ready to personally drag both of them across Lunaris if necessary.
“Why is Cora like this? Because for months, you all kept feeding her delusions p>
Neither male spoke.
“She was jealous the moment your attention started shifting away from her and toward Lylah.” Tiara pointed toward her best friend.
“The person who actually deserved it p>

Isaac winced.
Thane lowered his gaze.
“If you hadn’t spent months being manipulated by her story about being your savior’s daughter, none of this would have escalated this far p>
“Tiara, that’s enough,” Lylah said gently.
But Iris surprised everyone by stepping forward.
Instead of defending her brother, she crossed her arms and nodded in approval.
“Keep going, Tiara p>
Isaac looked horrified.
“Iris p>
“What?” she shot back. “She’s right. If someone keeps setting fires, maybe stop apologizing to the victims and start dealing with the arsonist p>
Isaac looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him.
“If Lylah chooses to accept your apology, that’s her decision,” Tiara continued. “But if you really feel guilty, then do something useful. Make Cora face the consequences of her actions p>
Her wolf wasn’t strong enough to challenge them, but her protective instincts burned just as fiercely.
“My best friend has suffered enough.” Her voice lowered. “And fires don’t stop spreading while the embers are still alive p>
For the first time since the conversation began, something resembling approval flickered across Ezra’s face.
His eyes glinted.
Before anyone could continue the discussion, Tiara decisively grabbed Lylah’s wrist. “Come on p>
“Tiara p>
“Nope. Conversation over.” She began pulling Lylah toward the building entrance.
Lylah shot an apologetic glance over her shoulder as she was practically escorted away.
The group entered the private elevator and ascended toward the penthouse.
The moment the doors opened, a familiar scent greeted them.
Moonclaw pine and crisp winds.
Lylah’s eyes widened.
Before she could process it, a booming voice echoed through the penthouse.

“My dear granddaughter!” Warmth filled every corner of the room. “You’re finally back p>
Disbelief flashed across her face before excitement quickly followed.
“Grandpa Vargan p>
