“I am no traitor!” Ikrus yelled as different guards rushed up to him to capture him.
A guard next to the Alpha yelled.
“The Alpha was attacked tonight and the captured traitors declared that they were receiving orders from you, Gamma.”
“That is a lie!” Ikrus spoke up, enraged.
Aniya looked from father to son. The tension that grew thick in the air felt suffocating. She could feel her hope spilling through her fingers like sand.
“To the dungeon.” The Alpha ordered and this time when the guards took Ikrus away, he didn't fight them.
Not once did Ikrus look at her while he was taken away to the dungeon.
Oana begged for her father to stop them but he didn't listen.
While Aniya watched all this, everything suddenly became a distant echo and a realization washed over her like cold water.
