Third Person POV
Gamma Sylas, always sensitive to her emotions as her bonded Gamma, the one meant to stand beside the Luna when her mate fell short, could feel how deeply Victoria was sinking into herself again.
He noticed the way she withdrew more each day, how her presence felt quieter, like she was slowly fading into the background of her own life. Each time Beta Marcus entered her office with that cruel little smirk, anger rose in Sylas’s chest. Still, he could not act on it. Victoria would not allow him to.
She always stepped in before things went too far, especially when Marcus made it clear he was not afraid to get physical. In trying to shield her Gamma from harm, Victoria ended up taking everything instead. Every insult, every humiliation, every sharp word meant for Sylas land
