Three days had passed since Elder Gita revealed the truth about Negan.
Three days of silence and trying to move forward. The shackles of the betrayal refused to break, setting us free.
Phoebe and I bore the heavy weight of the betrayal with no one else except ourselves. I couldn't bring myself to tell Sir Alan and the others.
I kept thinking of what their reactions would be. Would they laugh behind my back? Or feel pity for me? Or blame me for not seeing the betrayal miles away?
The last question would probably be what Sir Elijah would think of. I had hated him for willing to give Negan up without a protest.
Telling him Negan was a betrayer now would look like he had been right all along.
I felt that they at least needed to know but I didn't want them to mock me, to see me as an incapable Alpha who was betrayed by his Beta twice.
I was torn between telling them and keeping them in the dark so I asked Phoebe for what to do.
