Lewis reached out and brushed my hair back, slow and careful, like he was calming something wild inside me.
"Elena," he said quietly, "I know you're angry. I know it feels unfair. But if force can't fix this, then we wait. We watch. Camilla planned everything too carefully."
I stared ahead, my thoughts tangled.
"So Nolan…" My voice wavered. "He died for nothing?"
That dream still clung to me, heavy and sharp. Nolan had his flaws, but he didn't deserve that ending.
"Not for nothing," Lewis said. " Camilla lured him there, but she covered her tracks well. Yenik backed her story. Harris sensed something was off, but without proof, they couldn't hold her."
I turned to him. "Then what changed?"
"Lincy," he replied. "She was behind the plan to take Camilla out. The real question is who leaked the details. That trail led me to Mr. Wave."
The name sent a chill through me. "Mr. Wave?"
