Brian Pov
I looked at Thorn and I knew he was in pain but he was taking it out on the wrong people. I watched Georgina and saw evil in her eyes. She was different and not the same girl I had grown up with. The hall was quiet and nobody said anything. " Now back to why we are here." Thorn said,taking a seat on his father's throne. " She killed my father and I have the evidence to show you all. Get that off my sight!" he roared as the guards walked in to clear the carcass of the dead elders. " What do you want to do,Alpha Thorn?" Another elder asked from the crowd. " It looks like you made up your mind anyways." " My best friend here was with her all through the night before she disappeared. I am sure she wanted to kill the Alpha and rule the kingdom." Thor said with disdain in my voice " We follow the rules. Anyone who kills a member of the pack must die!" Elder Hardy said looking at me Georgina walked toward him and said some words into his ears. I wonder why Thorn wasn't thinking, it was unlike him to follow every single word from Georgina. Something was wrong,off. But I don't have enough time to figure out what. I knew Lyla was innocent but I don't have time to prove it. Elder Hardy was Georgina's father, I knew he wanted to become the Alpha and with his daughter getting married to Thorn, it was becoming easier. " Bring the prisoner here." Thorn declared I walked out of sight to get Lyla. My mind,racing on what to do and how to prove her innocence. For some reason, I knew down inside my gut that she was innocent. I walked closer to the dark cell and I saw her lying down on the cold floor, looking pale. Lyla flinched as she looked up to see my face. " Brian, what do I do? Does Thorn believe me now?" She asked slowly " We don't have time for any of this, Lyla. I know you are innocent but we need proof. I think Georgina is behind all of this and she wants you gone. Do you remember anything about any of this?" Lyla scratched her head, " I don't...one minute I was drinking with her and her friends and the next,I was in the pool of blood." " I am sorry but Thorn wants you dead and I don't see you getting out of this alive." I said truthfully Lyla burst into tears. " I don't want to die. Please save me!" She clenched my clothes. I pitied her, It was her words against Thorn and Georgina who wanted her spot as the Luna. " I am going to divert the guards. You run when I ask you too." I said,opening the cell. I went back and killed the guards making sure there's no one to tell Thorn what I had done. " Now!" I quickly shout to Lyla but I heard a bang at the back of my head. As I felt drowsy, I saw a figure standing before me with a wide grin. My eyes flicked open and I felt myself stiffened. I looked at my body and I saw I was tied to Lyla. " What is this?" I shouted looking at Thorn who sat down enjoying the show. " You tried to release the woman who killed my father. He was your father too,Brian just not by birth. I can't believe you will dishonour is memory like this." Thorn shouted with anger " Dishonor? Did I hear you say that? You didn't give Lyla a chance to defend herself,you are fucking your best friend who isn't even your mate and you dare talk about dishonour." I shouted back at him I knew I was out of place, Alpha Thorn was fierce. He turned me and I could feel his rage most time. Thorn stood up from his seat, his muscles catching the ray of the sun that penetrated through the unthatched roof top. " Since you are so willing to die to proof her innocence then I am going to grant your wish." I knew we share a bond and I believe Thorn won't be so quick to severe the bond between an alpha and his beta but with the way things was unfolding,my heart was beating fast against my chest. " You need to give her a chance and for a second stop listening to her words." I pointed at Georgina who was seated beside Thorn's seat, already claiming the post of the Luna. " Since we are on this topic,I have an announcement to make." Thorn said,walking back into the midst of the elders. They all looked at him, none could challenge him. Not after what happened. " She killed my father and she has to die." " No, I didn't. Please belive me,Thorn. I would never do that. She did." Lyla's voiced at the top of her voice Thorn dropped the knife on the table and it was proven that Lyla's fingerprint was all over it. The elders immediately gathered and talked. I looked at them and knew what the outcome would be. "Brace yourself, Lyla," I said with a sad voice. "TThe judgment is death," Elder Hardy proclaimed. I looked at Georgina, and I saw her smile. " I Alpha Thorn of the silver moon pack here reject you, Lyla Henderson as my mate and sentence you to death." Thorn said without mercy. " Please, Thorn. I have loved you. Give me time to prove my innocence." Lyla pleaded as a sword was raised up to her face. The sound of the thud was all I heard as her head came rolling down to my feet. " With that settled, shall we move forward with my coronation?"Thorn said slowly walking back to his seat. " What about him?" Georgina said in anger. "He wanted your father's killer released." Thorn looked back at me and I could see the look I haven't seen in a long time. My friend was gone and all that was left was a monster. I knew what he was going to say as that moment al I heard was the muffled noise of the elders. Some trying to save him while others..god knows what they were talking about. The last statement I heard sent chills down my body And with my breath held, I felt my head slowly detached from my body.Billy's Pov " I told you to look after her! She is the only daughter I have in the whole world." Alpha Carlos shouted at his Luna " I don't know if she was going to the club house with her friend." Luna said with tears. The doctor walked in and met both parents in a sober mood. " Talk to my doctor,what is going to happen to my daughter." Alpha Carlos asked with fright " I am sorry, Alpha but I need to tell you the truth. Billy's heart collapsed. I am sorry to tell you this but she is just having a few minutes left to live." The doctor replied and walked away i opened my eyes and saw my parents with tears on their faces. I wanted to talk, tell them I regretted my actions but all that I could do was shed tears. I suddenly felt my heart collapse and life flew from my body." ****************************************************************** I opened my eyes slowly and I looked around. I grabbed my neck like I was just waking up from a bad dream. " Are you alright princess?" I
LILY'S POV I looked at myself in Billy's body. A part of me felt sorry for her, but I was happy that the moo goddess had given me the chance to avenge my ghastly death. I was going to make Georgian and Thorn pay for what they have done to me. I remembered how Brian had given his life for me. I wasn't going to allow that to go in vain. I wonder why the moon goddess had picked Billy's body. I stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at the body I was going to be in for the rest of my life. The fear of Billy's parents knowing the truth about me gnawed at me. How do I make them believe I was their daughter? I barely know who Billy was. I was a nobody in the Silver Moon pack, but here I was in the body of one of the prominent packs in the kingdom. I heard a gentle knock at my door, and I wondered who it was. "Princess," the voice called out slowly. The word "princess." was foreign in my ears. Back at the silver moon pack, I was nobody. I was only respected by Thorn's father
LYLA POV I looked back, and I saw that it was my handmaiden. "Sure, but promise me you aren't going to tell my father whatever happens tonight." I said with a stern look on my face."Can you please tell me what is going to happen?" She asked back, and I could see she was scared. "You can go back if you think you don't have the stomach for it. What is your name again?" I looked at her face. " Keira." She spoke slowly with fear. "I am not asking you to come with me, Keira. You can stay back if you wish too." I replied and walked straight towards the guards. Keira strolled by my side as I walked fast. "Slow down, princess." I heard Keira calling to me. I was stopped by one of the guards who was stationed just outside the door into the silver moon palace. "This place is off limits." One of the guards said, blocking my path with the torch he was holding. "Do you even know who this is?" Keira shouted at them, raising her voice. I was shocked. I looked at her and wondered what had come o
THORN'S POV I was mesmerized by the woman standing right in front of me, but I dare not show it. Not with Georgina beside me. I could feel my inner wolf drawn to the lady right in front of me. " Mate!" My inner wolf shouted out loud.I had never taken Bradley seriously. I wasn't going to be like my father, who was just married to a Luna. I wanted as many beautiful women as I could find. "Who is she?" I looked at Georgina, who sensed something might be wrong. "This is Billy, the daughter of the Crescent Moon Pack." She replied, her gaze fixed on Thorn. "What is she doing here?" Thorn asked still, his gaze not leaving Lyla, who was having a scared look. "She came to give you your Alpha coronation gift." Keira said with a smile and looked back at her. "Where is it?" She stretched out her hand to receive it, but the look on Lyla's face made her face her front. "If you are not here to give me my coronation gift, then what are you here for?" I asked with anger. I looked at my wristwatc
LYLA POV I looked at Alpha Carlos face, and I could see the anticipation in his eyes. I bit my lips, and I gave Keira a stern look that meant I was going to kill him if we ever returned home. "Will someone tell me what is going on?" Alpha Carlos said again amidst the noise of jubilation. "She has wolfed out, and I think her mate is Alpha Thorn." Kiera said with her head bowed to the floor. " What? Are you saying Billy is mated to the crowned Alpha?" Luna asked with a glint if happiness in her eyes Kiera nodded her head without looking at my face. She knew I was angry. "I can't believe you have finally found your mate after several years. I think we should start to plan your marriage with Alpha Thorn." Alpha Carlos said with a smile on his face. "What is this? After everything I went through, how do I explain any of this?" I, soliloquy to myself. "Was this the Moon goddess plan yet again? I had managed to come back to life only to be mate to the same man who had me killed in my p
THORN POV For the first time in my life, I felt my inner wolf cry out in pain. The words "no." stung my heart as I looked at my CHOOSEN mate walk out on me. "Was this how Lyla felt when I said I didn't want her as a mate?" The thought flooded my mind. Billy had not only disgraced me but also weakened my position as the new Alpha of the three kingdoms, and I wasn't going to let it slide."We are sorry, Alpha Thorn. I don't know what came over her. I am going to talk to her and have her dragged down if I must." Alpha Carlos said trying to be nice. I looked around, and I saw the look of horror on the people's faces. The shame was just too much. "You had better tell her that if she doesn't come back here of her own will by the end of the week, she is going to give me no choice, and I would have to act of my own free will." I shouted and walked out of the coronation room with people staring at me. I think was the first Alpha that was going to be rejected by his mate. I saw the look on
LYLA'S POV "That smell—what is that?" I said slowly getting up from the floor. I tried to look around, but everywhere was dark. "Where the hell am I?" I asked again. My head hurts. I winced as I tried to remember what happened. "I was drinking with..." My brain went into a frenzy mode as I tried to recall what I was doing before all of this. The more I tried to remember, the more my head hurt. I finally decided to switch the light on, and then what I saw made me puke. I threw up all over the floor as I looked at the horror right before my eyes. I remembered a young girl killing a lot of people on the first day she wolfed out. I wasn't ready yet; I still have a few months before I finally wolf out, but here I was, in the pool of blood with my kills as I believed it to be. "I can't...it is not possible." I fidget with the words. I looked at my white clothes, and I saw they were soaked with blood. With trembling feet, I walked towards the corpses, trying to see who they wereI froz
LYLA'S POV Georgina looked at me and she Iaughed. She had managed to play the good friend, No, the best friend actually. I was so gullible that I didn't see through her. Georgina had always had eyes for Thorn since they were kids but she was surprised when Alpha Derrick chose me over her, ignoring her feelings for Thorn. Georgina has always dreamt of that day she will become the Luna of the Silver moon pack. I even heard that she had a dress made for the coronation and here was a lowlife like me stealing her spot. She looked at me again and smirked. " I am not going to let you have him. Over my dead body." Georgina spat with venom in her voice " Please Georgina.I am sorry. Can you tell me what this is all about." I pleaded " What? You killed them. Your finger prints are all over the crime scene and it is only a matter of time before your head is chopped off. You should have known your place,Lyla. You are a nobody and you will always will. Nobody is going to remember you."
