~Heidi's Point Of View~
The move from the courtyard to the mansion after Lira's skull is cracked open is a blur of shouting and silk. Luna Rayne is a force of nature; her screams for the head healer echo off the vaulted ceilings. Servants scramble to carry Lira's limp, bleeding form inside.
Heidi stumbles after them, still wrapped in Amias's cloak, her bare feet numb against the cold marble. She is hollowed out. She comes here to avenge Grayson, to scream the truth about Tobias to the heavens, but now she is just... lost.
CRACK.
The sound of Amias's fist connecting with Morgan's jaw makes everyone jump.
Amias roars, his chest heaving, "How could you? She is your brother's wife! She is embracing you, and you break her like she is nothing!"
Morgan doesn't even fall. He just turns his head back, wiping a smear of blood from his lip with a terrifyingly calm expression. Darien, Isolde, Daphne, and the Lunas—Rayne and Ines—close in on him like a pack of wolves cornering a rogue.
