Luca's expression sobered instantly. He shifted her a little higher in his lap so he could see her face clearly.
"I'm listening."
Nyx took a slow breath.
"I've already contacted all the other clans, just like you suggested" She began. "I informed them of the passing of the Matriarchs. I read out the letters of evidence in full—every detail, every proof that what happened was real."
"I explained everything that occurred...and confirmed the deaths."
Luca's brow furrowed with concern.
"And...how did they react?"
Nyx's expression turned somber.
"They were devastated, of course. Many refused to believe it at first. They couldn't accept that their Matriarchs were truly gone."
"But once the evidence was presented. The letters, the timelines, the missing presence, they had no choice but to accept it."
"Funeral rites have already begun in several clans. They're mourning. Deeply."
She paused.
"But despite everything...they're holding strong. Resilient. That much was clear."
