A white-faced Freya rises slowly, her cheek flaming where her husband struck her. Alexandre glares at her, breathing hard. Without a word, she spins and leaves, pausing only to lock eyes for a moment with Ulysses, who sits at Alexandre's right hand. After a moment, her son looks away, but makes no move from his seat. Starkar Mace intercepts Freya and escorts her from the room.
Camera returns to pan back along the table.
The Blood Eagle remain frozen-faced. Several Starwolf are on their feet, their expressions grim, fists clenched. Alexandre sits and motions for the music to resume. It was the last straw for the proud Starwolf warrior. Freya left Alexandre two days later, disappearing in the middle of the night.
