Emma's POV

My whole body froze.

Death sentence? Did she really just say the council is planning to give me the death sentence?

"What are you talking about? Give the phone to Alex."

"Okay." Natalie stepped aside and handed the receiver to Alex. I asked, "Alex, what is she saying?"

The man let out a deep sigh and said, "It's true, Emma. Since Stella was supposed to be the Luna of this pack, you are accused of attempting to murder her and threatening the Pack's safety.

Alexander said.I looked at my kids who were fast asleep; they didn't know who their father was.When they were born, I did not stress myself. I knew there would be a point where they would ask me about him and I was sure I would have a well-constructed story by then. But to my surprise, they asked me the question sooner than expected.

You even solved some rogue issue.”“Yeah, I did.” I said, “It was just a two-day pomp and joy. After the sand settled, I was back to being the plain, old, wolfless girl hated by the entire pack.”Xavier did not say anything about the fact that I was wolfless.
