#2 Chapter 30
Chapter 30.
Luna Morgan got settled on the floor, she was sitting on her legs, silently praying that the judgment should not take long, so that she would know her fate.
Not quite long, alpha Castiano began his speech.
“I welcome you all great citizens of the Crystal pack!” Alpha Castiano began after clearing his throat.
“Thank you oh alpha Castiano!” They all muttered in their ancient languages while some groaned in their wolves way of greeting in response.
“The reason for this sudden call is the great abomination that was found in the rear today!” Alpha Castiano said, leaning forward from his seat.
There erupt a great muttering throughout the room, some people were trying to guess what the great abomination was all about and even though it was obvious that it was Luna who committed it, some still asked themselves that, “Who committed the offense.”
“Silent!” The alpha thundered and the room was left in perfect decorum.
“I am having a few questions for the culprit before I start my judgment.” He said causing everybody to look on in anxiety.
Luna stared up to stared at everyone she knew, her gaze first went to that of her stepmother’s, Rebecca was staring with a smile on her lips, “Your end is near.” She mouthed to Luna when she realized that she was staring at her.
Luna stared away from her and her eyes went to Amelia, who was sitting beside her mother. Amelia was just all over Carl, who was sitting down beside her.
“She must be so happy, she is finally getting rid of me.” Luna thought with a sigh, “Its not her fault, I will be happy too if I happen to be her.” She concluded in her mind.
Luna stared at Carl next, she was frighten with the look on his face, disappointment and anger are glaring on his face, which caused him to frown really bad and he was staring back at her, not giving any attention to Amelia.
Luna stared away immediately, she stopped herself from going further, she had not strength to go further.
“Hey!!!” A sudden yell brought Luna back from her reverie, and the yell was made by Alpha Castiano.
“I am asking you a question and you are busy thinking of random things? Do you know that that is a great offense?” The alpha asked angrily.
“I’m so sorry my alpha.” She muttered, bowing her head.
“Your sorry is nothing and you will be getting punished for that.” The alpha declared.
“That is another great offense!” One of the ones around said, while others nodded to his speech.
“Yes, she have to be punished!” Another said.
“She just showed to us all how much of a disrespectful wolf she is, so disrespectful to the alpha!” Another said and all the others began to make one comment or the other.
“Enough!” The luna cautioned them, then faced the alpha. “Calm down my love, she is only a child, she don’t know of the offensive things in here, she is recently trying to learn.” She pacified her husband.
“Fine!” The alpha said to please his wife before he faced Luna, “Who is the goddamn father of the child in you?” He asked, his anger still glaring.
Luna sighed, “I am so sorry your highness, but I can’t tell, I can’t say out who the father of my baby is.”
Silence descended in the room again.
“I thought you said she knows the man who put her in this condition?” The luna asked madam Sandra in a whisper.
“Of course I did, she didn’t said that she don’t know who, she only said that she can’t tell.” Madam Sandra responded back in a whisper.
“What is she doing then? Is she trying to get herself and child killed.” The luna asked back.
Madam Sandra only dropped her shoulder in resistant, “I don’t know.”
“Why do you said that you don’t know? Didn’t you plan this with her?” The luna asked in disbelief.
“Obviously, we didn’t. I only gave her a little piece of advice and it had nothing to do with this.”
The luna sighed but didn’t gave any other reply.
“What did you meant when you said that you can’t tell? Do you know he that fathers that thing in you?” The alpha asked, thinking that Luna was taking him for a fool and sadly, Luna was not thinking about anything relating to the father for her baby, in fact, she had nothing in her mind.
“Seems she knew that I can read her mind to get my answer out of there.” The alpha thought angrily.
“My baby is not a thing my alpha, and I know the father, I know the one who slept with me, though it was a drunk night, I am not regretting it now.” Luna said, praying that everything should be done with.
“What do you meant by a drunk night? When did it happened?” The luna asked.
Luna raised her head, which she had glued to the floor since and her face was red due to excess crying, “During the last heat, I was drunk, he was drunk and it happened.” She explained.
“That is a lie! She have never for ones drink liquor!” Rebecca shouted from her seat, spanking up.
“Shut the hell up Rebecca! I never asked you a question, allow the girl to answer my questions without fear!” The luna yelled at Rebecca.
“I’m sorry your majesty.” Rebecca was beyond angry for getting cautioned in front of the whom pack, she only forced the words out to be on the saver side.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Beware Rebecca, I’m not always nice.” The luna told Rebecca before facing Luna.
“You were having a mate already during heat, you should have managed to get to him.” The Luna said.
“He rejected me. I was so sad and hurt. I left the palace, got drunk and was coming back home but started feeling weird and I immediately understood what was happening because I saw other people in the street too, behaving weird as me. I didn’t want to get raped, so I entered the wood, and there I met him and it happened.”
The Luna stared at Carl, “I am sure he was with that girl in that night, even as he told not to go out with the girl anymore, he won’t listen and now, his mate is slipping away from him.”
“What is the name of the man my dear, just mention a name, and you leave the rest for me.” The luna tried to pacified Luna into mentioning the man’s name but she wasn’t having it.
“He doesn’t seems like someone who will want a child. I don’t want to burden him either, this is my fault and I will take full responsibility for it.” Luna declared.
Alpha Castiano suddenly spoke up his throne, “She has committed a lot of offenses and getting ready to take full responsibility of a bastard is the height of it. Stone her to death!” He commanded.
