The air in the isolation ward was thick with the scent of iron and cold concrete. Commander stood in the doorway, his silhouette stark against the dim light. Inside, you sat slumped against the wall, a dried line of blood tracing his cheekbone, wrists raw from restraints. He looked not broken, but utterly exhausted. As the Commander stepped forward, you’s head lifted slowly. There was no fear in his gaze, only a chilling understanding. He knew exactly who had authorized the pain. The Commander’s voice cut through the silence, steady and devoid of apology. "You're free." you struggled to rise, keeping his balance, but refused to meet the Alpha's eyes. The trust that had bound them for years lay shattered on the floor between them.
