†Noca's POV†
I paced to and fro in my chambers, lost in thoughts, lost in disbelief. There were too many things crowding my mind that I could barely think straight. My thoughts spun in circles, circles I knew I could never pull myself out from.
It wasn't until my beta reminded me of the promise I had made before my pack, days ago when chaos had nearly torn the courtyard apart, that my head began to throb even more. To stop their riot and calm their anger, I had promised to abolish the law.
I had given them my word before the moon and before their eyes that any male who found his mate in another male, any female who found hers in another woman, would be allowed to remain bonded without execution or punishment.
I had only made that vow to end the bloodshed that wanted to happen, to stop them from tearing down their alpha. I had said those words under duress, never meaning to let them take root.
