The tension in the camp was palpable as the pack members processed the betrayal. Marinetta and Harley led Zara back to the main area, where the others awaited with grim expressions. It was a bitter moment, realizing that someone they had trusted so completely had been working against them, even if it was under duress.
Silas was the first to break the silence. "What are we going to do with her?" His voice was hard, but underneath was a trace of the deep pain he felt. Zara had been like a sister to them all, and the wound her betrayal left was deep.
"We can't afford to trust her," Zack said, his voice rough. "But we can't kill her either. Not when she was coerced."
Marinetta nodded, her mind racing through the options. "We'll keep her here, under guard. We'll question her, find out everything she knows about Lysander's plans. After that… we'll have to decide what to do."
