They were introduced to the council members: Alpha Tyler of the Pale Moon Pack, Alpha Philip from the Winter Moon Pack, Alpha Cameron of the Glass Lake Pack, Luna Larissa of the Silver Moon Pack, Luna Gretta of the Darkened Sands Pack, and Luna Hailey of the Candescent Moon Pack.
He stood and identified himself and his unit when prompted, “Where is your Luna?” Alpha Philip enquired directly, his expression marked by a frown.
“Within the group, Alpha Philip.” She is accompanied by her puppy; I genuinely wished to spare her from distress or the necessity of recounting her traumatic experience. I was uncertain whether she would encounter Mia if I brought her here. It is not something I desire either.
“As a puppy, I was oblivious to this.”
“You likely have not communicated with Clara recently. I feel she is now cognisant.
“I have been present since Mia’s arrival,” he acknowledged. “Congratulations.”
He nodded in acknowledgement and resumed his seat, saying, “Thank you.”
Attention shifted to the sound of a door opening as Mia entered, adorned with silver cuffs yet elegantly attired. He observed that she was healthier than during their previous encounter, having seemingly received kind treatment from the Wolfen Council. Although he was well aware that Philip had informed him and Bellay of that.
She fixed him with a scowl, prompting him to divert his gaze from her back to the council. This was precisely why he did not want Bella in this room. I heard her being restrained to that table, but I disregarded her presence in the room. He shown little interest in seeing the she-wolf and was quite indifferent towards her.
“Mia Worthington, you are present today to receive your sentencing for the offences perpetrated against the Luna of the Red Moon Pack.”
“I am the Luna of the Red Moon Pack,” she declared with disdain.
“To my knowledge, she has never held that title,” Luke asserted; she has only ever been designated as the future Luna, not the actual Luna.
I am your Mate, bestowed by the Goddess Selena herself. “I am the legitimate Luna of the pack,” she retorted sharply.
His gaze shifted to her, “Bella is my divine, gifted mate.” I received another, which is exquisite both internally and externally. She is not a selected partner. Possesses the distinguished title of Luna within the Red Moon Pack. I am not only grateful for this, but also fortunate, to have someone like Bella embrace me in her heart.
I observed Mia’s eyes expand at this revelation, yet she remained silent, seemed to contemplate something deeply. He harboured a strong aversion to it and sensed that this information was not meant to be disclosed to her.
Luna Larissa exclaimed, “Enough now.” “Regarding you, young lady,”
She gazed directly at Mia, stating, “As the Luna of the Red Moon Pack, I assert that you rejected your Mate, Alpha Luke, prior to his rejection of you; thus, your claim is invalidated.” Alpha Philip has confirmed the legitimacy of the relationship between Luna Bella and Alpha Luke.
Mia observed Larissa’s look, only to see the lady’s Luna Aura emanate towards her, compelling Mia to stoop until her forehead made contact with the table, before the woman relented.
“You shall demonstrate respect, young lady,” she asserted bluntly. Your offences are extensive, and this is but one of the punitive judgements to be imposed against you. Express gratitude that the present Luna is absent. “I could have her project her aura towards you, which would likely be tenfold more intense than mine.”
Luke observed her resume her seat while contemplating Larissa’s remarks. Her offences are numerous. He pondered her recent activities. His gaze shifted to Alpha Philip, and he remained silent, presumably because the matter was not his concern. He was unlikely to discover anything beyond the consequences for her transgressions against Bella.
Alpha Tyler rose and enumerated her offences against the Blood.
Moon Pack.
One. The assassination of the current Luna utilising Wolfsbane
Two. The assassination of the current Gamma utilising Wolfsbane
Three. The incarceration of both Luna and Gamma in a cell constructed of silver.
Four. Colluding with criminals to utilise an illicit facility for the containment and subsequent sale of stolen she-wolves.
Five. The intention to sell Luna Bella for the purpose of being exploited and subjected to daily violent beatings and assaults by an alpha and his unit, in accordance with your desires. Components of the terms established during the negotiation.
- The desire to have Alpha Luke assassinated due to his rejection and expulsion of you from the Red Moon Pack, notwithstanding your prior rejection and infidelity towards your Mate, which precipitated Luke’s formal rejection of you.
