Author's POV...It has been more like what he has been going through as he assumed the position as the Beta just became amplified. How could he begin to phantom how to come up with solutions for each of the problems that had been started.Now he was before his desk, caught up in his thoughts, trying so hard to think that the trial would be tomorrow, and there was nothing worse than being unprepared.He glared at his screen for the umpteenth time and still hadn't figured out what to do. Then he heard a knock on the door which made him almost kick start from his chair, and he knew whoever was at the door just saved him from being buried in his thoughts. It was crazy to be immense and locked up in a prison of your thoughts. He headed towards the door and opened it. A part of him was hoping and praying it would be Ramona. Maybe another office sex would set his mind straight or confuse him the more.He headed for the door, and as soon as he opened it, he sighed because it was Becca. She he
Edwina's POV...I have always been the one who gets to go and visit Sonia, but today for the first time since I started the journey of trying to build my relationship with her again from scratch, she called me.I was shocked when I heard my mobile phone ringing. People rarely called me on that line. It was only Ben and Sonia that had the number. Ben got me the phone to get in touch with me when he was out on long trips and come to think of it, it was probably him fucking my sister and maybe calling me while she was in his arms, I don't want to think of all these things, but anytime I do, there is this growing rage in me that wants to revenge and make them pay for all the pain I had gone through because of them, but on the other hand, I had chosen the path to forgiveness and even if it's hard, I would have to stick by it for the long run.And the phone rang for the second time that day. I was afraid to pick up because I had already concluded in my heart that the call was going to be co
Author's POV...It was a day that brought this natural feeling of anxiety. One didn't have to do much or even say much to be anxious. There was no feeling worse than the one that had to do with lies. The feeling that came with not being completely honest with the one you claim to want to make things better with.But that was the case for Edwina right now; she was in a state of total and utmost dismay, confused to the brim of her knowledge on how to go about things and lacking the strength to do them.There was no way a trial was to be held, and she wouldn't be in attendance. Her being in attendance would mean that her sister would find out the reason why she had not agreed to be her witness and all the secrets and lies she had been keeping away from her. She knew this was an impossible case."Why can't I just stay behind and not go?" She had asked Becca when she was still struggling with her thoughts. Becca was in the full picture of all that was going on and why Edwina didn't want to
Author's POV..."Things are not really good with us," she replied with a fake smile that could only be translated as sadness on her face. She knew that look so well."Really? What's wrong? Is it still because he is in love with Ramona?" She asked, concerned. Over the month that Edwina had stayed in the pack house, a lot of the female pack members disrespected her, and she knew it. Sometimes she needed to enforce some tough punishment attached to it before something could be done. But Becca had shown her a high level of respect and sometimes even defended her. She had come to grow to love Becca not because of who she was to her but because of who she was to herself."He told me that he slept with her, like they just casually had sex,"Edwina could feel the pain in her voice. It always hurts to see the one you love or at least claim to love to cheat on you with someone else."That's bad," she consoled her."Not really, after all, he and I aren't dating and there is no way he could leave
Author's POV...It was a day she wasn't prepared for, but she knew she needed to brace herself up for anything that might come her way. She sat alone in the empty room, reminiscing of all the things she had done that had led her to this very day.She used to be the one sitting on that high throne, deciding the fate of the people. That was one part of the job description of being a Luna she liked because it made her feel powerful and like the fate of others were dependent on her, and she loved how that felt.But here she was now, waiting for her fate to be decided by the man she cheated on alongside a group of elders she might have insulted at one point in her time spent as Luna. Her life was both complicated and sorrowful at this point.She and Ben were supposed to be facing trial together, but now she stood alone with no one to turn to. Not even her sister, who she thought she was making headway with, wanted to stand for her or by her."Don't worry, baby, mama got you," she said to h
Edwina's POV...Sonia walked into the courtroom. She looked pale and heavy. Well, her being heavy was understandable, but I thought she would have a little bit of glow since she was finally getting what she wanted. A chance at a fair trial, but I understood that she would be not just lonely but anxious, she had been so used to taking control of her life and right now it feels strange to her not being able to control it.I could see her struggling to take the steps she needed to move further.The hall wasn't crowded. It was filled with people from different clans in the night howlers pack. As she walked past them, they muttered unkind words to her, and I could see her trying to shut them out so she wouldn't get affected by them. It would have been easier for me to shut out words from them because I have been used to mockery all my life, but it would be harder for her because she has been used to people singing her praise and bowing down to her feet.I wonder the kind of struggles she w
Edwina's POV...Maybe she was looking at Alpha Alex or at me, but I am sure she was wondering who was behind the veil. This would have come as a shock to her when she finds out that the Alpha has another Luna, had she figured it out to be me."I plead guilty," she muttered, and another uproar inundated the hall like it was the first time they were hearing about it.Bunch of hypocrites, we all knew she was guilty; why act surprised, I muttered, and I could see Alex, who sat close to me, smile.She continued"And for the charge on crime against throne as an act of treason," she paused, and I could see her making a last-minute decision, "I plead not guilty,"More noise saturated the hall.I nodded my head gently. Even if guilty, one was never to plead guilty to treason, for there would be no use for a trial anymore. They would just pass out a judgment, which we all know the penalty to be death, and that would be it. She knew better."Okay, with that being said, we can proceed with the tr
Author's POV...At this point, Sonia had done a single act that was going to help her case and to prove herself not to be a traitor to the crown. When she saw the guard, he introduced himself to her. She saw an avenue to prove which side she was on. He wasn't an escape plan for her. She was lonely and hopeless, and she saw in the man's eyes a route to vindicate herself. If she was loyal to Benedict, she wouldn't have done that.Sonia glared at Alpha Alex, hoping to see some kind of pleasing smile, but he still looked as indifferent as he did when the case started. She knew it would take more than just whistleblowing to get him to know she was on his side and on the side of the throne, and whoever is the Luna sitting beside him must be feeding him with lies about her."She must be a new bride," she thought to herself."So may we continue," Caleb announced. At this point, he prides himself on knowing all the faces of the omega wolves and their names. When he had made it a mandate for hi
