Summary
It never should have happened. That was all Alec could think as he knelt on the floor of the Ops Center and felt the cold metal of the adamas cuffs that closed around his wrists. Even as Aldertree stood there in front of him, smirking down at Alec with that smug superiority that Alec ached to knock off his face, part of Alec couldn’t move beyond stunned.
He’d known things were getting worse, that the Clave was going too far in their fear to stop Valentine and control everything, but he hadn’t thought they’d go this far.
When Alec finds himself arrested and tried under the crime of treason, he realizes that the Clave isn't going to change. Not unless he forces their hand. Unfortunately for them, he's not afraid to do just that. By any means necessary.
