Groveling Alpha

Rhydian follows Vessa desperately through the great hall, pouring out endless apologies and vivid memories of his betrayal while she treats their cursed son Kael and the rest of the suffering pack with icy professionalism and deliberate silence. Heat simmers as old explicit passions surface in his pleas and her reluctant memories, but the episode ends when Soren corners her alone and threatens to expose fabricated crimes from her past if she dares to stay and claim the pack.
