Joan's POV

I looked up at Rex's blurry image due to the tears that filled my eyes.

"I don't care if anyone here tells me I'm a traitor or liar but it hurts more when the only one that was meant to stand by me left me to sink, I hope you see the truth soon" with those words I squinted my eyes as the tears slipped through.

"Make it quick" I said bracing myself for the impact.

Bang!

A gunshot flared through the air making my soul leave my body.

A scream screeched through the air then the chaos erupted.

I clutched my chest, opening my eyes. Rex was searching for the source of the sound.

"Everyone take cover, guards be alert!" he yelled, holding the sword ready to pounce on anything.

The guards by my side left to put the crowd into order as they ran helter-skelter.

Then multiple shots fired in the air as men in masks ran in the arena.

They advanced towards Rex who didn't bat an eye though he held a sword and they were equipped with machine guns.

The men stopped shooting as they got closer

I yelled, scanning the faces of my pack members, I noticed a few cuts and bruises. My heart tightened with worry. I couldn't bear to see them hurt because of my poor choice of women."No one had been shot but due to the running and pushing of one another we have a few minor injuries"A guard reported I nodded relieved."My people I am at a loss of words on what to say I ask you to forgive me for letting the enemy breach our security bear with me so together we will build a safe and secure home,Everyone injured in this encounter will be surely treated and given a small token it can't get rid of the pain but I hope it will make it feel better now proceed to your homes thank you" I said forcing myself to be strong, they cheered and clapped then I looked towards Tyler."You're in charge of this" I pointed at him, once I was

    Joan's povMy throat tickled, and I began coughing uncontrollably. Concerned, Jerome rushed to my side, handing me a glass of water. Hesitantely I accepted it, taking a few sips to soothe my irritated throat. I couldn't believe my ears he had proposed that I become his Luna. The words hung in the air leaving me stunned and breathless. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat rubbing my throat, I gazed at him hoping he was joking and he would laugh out but he looked dead serious."You don't have to decide now I just wanted you to know""Oh thank goddess" I released the breathe I didn't realize I was holding."Please just consider" he placed his hand gently on top mine slowly I pulled away."I will" I nodded still shaken by his request."Please don't let this stop you from eating" he waved at the food in front of me.I had lost my appetite but to make the place less awkward I picked up the spoon then began eating.We dined together surrounded by an air of formality that made my heart race.

    Joan's povI held my breath feeling the slightest movement could break the tension between us.It was like a staring contest with no one daring to say a word."Joan... I don't know how to say this" Rex began nervously."I'm sorry about earlier I should have listened to you""Rex what do you mean?" I asked, unsure of what he was talking about.I was expecting him to yell or scold me but here he was apologizing."Elder Leo had shown me his observations on the video of you and Joreme" he was the only one who don't raise his hand when I was convicted."The video must have been altered the lip sync and audio was different. I am so sorry" he pleaded.Rex's apology hit me like a punch to the gut. I couldn't believe he was actually saying the words I'd been longing to hear.I exhaled a shaky breath and nodded. "I forgive you I'm just happy you realized sooner."A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips, and he took a step closer. Rex's hand reached out to touch my shoulder, the warmth

    Joan's pov"Joan!" Joreme knocked behind the door, I had already locked it but I pressed my weight against it holding my breath."Joan I'm sorry please" Joreme kept begging but I couldn't let him in.Not now my heart was racing so much I felt he could hear it through the door.After a few bags and wiggling of the doorknob, he gave up and everything went quiet.I left my hold on the door then walked to the bed taking a deep breath.Just a few days and I'll get out of here Rex was going to find a way to get me out of here I convinced myself.The thought of Rex reminded me of the phone but it wasn't with me I must have forgotten it when I rushed out of the car earlier.Fuck! I yelled frustrated.I tugged at the dress, frustrated I couldn't sleep in it, searching the closet. There were a few clothes I grabbed, sweatpants and a plain white t-shirt that was a size bigger.I changed into it and laid on the bed the last memory of Rex replaying in my mind.--------I woke up early the next day

    There goes my chance of contacting Rex. I wondered if I could request a phone from Joreme but then how would I be able to get Rex's number?With a sigh, I stepped away from the car,"Thank you" I said to the man who had helped me. He nodded, locking the door with its keys.The maid had gone which left me to find my way back alone, I took the stairs finding my way back to the kitchen."Joreme isn't doing anything" someone scoffed, It was a woman's voice, hushed and filled with urgency. She held a mug of steaming coffee as she left the kitchen, I was straining to catch the words feeling there was something familiar about her voice. "I understand your tension ma'am" the man beside her said but she waved him off."Leave me be I'm heading to the study" she responded which hit me where I had heard her voice before the night when Joreme had spoken about Gwen.This was my chance to find something, her heels click-clacked on the marble tiles directing me through the corridors to where she was

    Joan's povI glanced around the room, feeling my heart was caught in my throat.The files were real, the exact same one I scanned through everyone of them recognizing each one.Holy shit!I rushed to lock my room wondering why I never locked it in the first place.Walking carefully towards the bathroom just to ensure I was alone and no one was playing a prank on me, to my relief it was empty.Nothing in the room looked out of place, the windows looked the same way I left it though I didn't have to bother about it.Climbing through the window was sucide yet the files were on my bed.How was that possible?Was it the lady on heels who was behind this?Why would she help me? Or was this some kind of elaborate plan to show my true intentions?I laid back on the bed checking each one carefully for some kind of warning, a message, note anything but they all looked perfectly intact.She even threw in the picture of the Russian, a bald man with a scar running from the top of his eye down to

    Rex's POV"Gentlemen" I began, "uhm" I cleared my throat tugging at my shirt."It's understandable if you want to take a leave from the pack affairs it must be hard knowing your mate is a traitor" an Elder interjected.That was not why I was apprehensive, the thought of Joan with Joreme pushed me on the edge and the worst part of it all was that I caused it."Ehmm thank you so much for bringing that up Elder Leo" I waved in his direction wanting him to explain to the Elders what he said to me because my mind was unsettled."Gentlemen we all know the mm recent matters that have caused our pack a lot of turmoil but we were misinformed, fooled into thinking Joan is a traitor" Elder Leo voiced confidently."That's impossible all the facts-""Were circumstantial and the main evidence the video was alternated" The elders looked at one another confused, murmuring lightly."Please explain" I urged, Leo nodded then brought out his phone."This is the video with the fake audio, look behind the

I checked out the pictures she had sent.I scoffed, this was exactly something Joreme would get involved in, shipping opium to Russians and trying to dupe them too bad karma had caught up to him and his plan failed.I dialed Tyler's number wanting to tell him to do some research on the man but it went straight to voicemail.I tried three more times.

There was finally enough evidence I could use this to get Joan out of prison. “Why did you get your hands on such dirty deeds when you also had your own child” i asked Collins who didn't say anything in return.
