Corvin's words stayed with me long after he left. His condition was something so deeply calculated and vicious that it made even me pause. Back when I was Alpha, Corvin had always been ambitious. He had a mind built for strategy, politics, and moving pieces across a board that most people could not even see. But I also believed he was loyal, perhaps not blindly loyal, but loyal enough to the structure of power and the Alpha he served.
When I ruled, Corvin had been an efficient Beta. So how had he transformed into a man who stood in a dark prison chamber and calmly suggested something so cold-blooded that even I had hesitated?
If Corvin was willing to betray Lilith like this, had he ever truly been loyal to anyone? Had he even been loyal to me when I was Alpha? Or had he simply been waiting for the right opportunity all along?
