Morning sunlight streamed through the dining room windows of the Valois villa as I picked at my breakfast. The news played softly in the background until a particular story caught my attention.
"Breaking news: Victor Sinclair, son of prominent Alpha Harold Sinclair, has been arrested in connection with the assault of Aurelia Monroe, former Luna of the Silvercrest Pack. Sources confirm substantial evidence links him to the attack that occurred outside Moonlight Restaurant three nights ago."
My fork clattered against my plate. The reporter continued detailing how Victor was being held without bail, his father's influence unable to secure his release.
A strange feeling washed over me – relief mixed with vindication. Someone had actually been held accountable for hurting me. It felt foreign, almost unbelievable.
"You look pleased," Julian's cold voice cut through my thoughts.
