Kael's POV.
The electric jolts were nothing compared to the pain I felt having Elara break my trust. My eyes watered for the first time in ages, realizing that I had doomed my pack. The very pack I swore to protect with my life.
Ravenna warned me, yet I chose to believe a human. I felt the pain of the forest, the havoc they caused, the soldiers I lost. I felt everything.
The unrest and cries of my people. Everything was terrible. Nobody deserved to suffer because I trusted a woman who conducted experiments on me. I should have thought harder before letting myself fall for her charms.
"Damn you, fate!" I jabbed, my voice almost inaudible. "It's your fault that I couldn't look past her, it's your fault that I was drawn to her, a human!" I sniffled.
I blinked my tears away as footsteps echoed forward. I couldn't even get enough time to feel terrible and guilty for my actions without a guard showing up to worsen my day.
