Damon’s POV
The attack should have satisfied me. It didn't. That alone told me something was wrong. Very wrong. I stood in the war chamber staring at the latest reports spread across the table. The accusations against Nathan were spreading exactly as expected.
Border villages were angry. Several Alphas were demanding action. The kingdom was beginning to unite behind a common enemy. Everything was unfolding perfectly.
Too perfectly.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Because life rarely worked that way.
Not for kings.
Not for wolves.
Not for anyone.
The realization had been bothering me for two days.
Ever since the survivors started telling conflicting stories.
The inconsistency irritated me.
Because lies were easier to believe when they were simple.
These weren't.
A knock interr
