Aleena’s POV.“It’s the time.”, That warrior announced from outside my cell. I nodded my help and, mustering all my energy together, and I tried to stand up on my feet because they hardly provide a proper meal to the prisoners, and on the top, the small of the wolfsbane was added to the food, causing the wolf to sleep in deep slumber. That was why I was feeling extremely weak right now. Taking support from the wall, I somehow managed to stand on my feet and then walked out.There was only one difference between the other prisoner and me: I was not treated harshly yet. Not until I would be declared guilty.“We don’t have the whole day.”, That warrior reminded me of when I was taking small steps. He sighed and shook his head. He grabbed my arms, not tightly, and started dragging me out of there! “Why did you kill your parents? For this pack?” he asked me, maybe unable to control the questions that he had for me. “Not just that you even tried to kill your sister and the future Alpha of
Aleena's POV.One by one, all the witness testimonies were asked to drink holy water.“Now, we will start by hearing the witness testimonies and the evidence collected against these crimes. I will also give her a chance to Aleena to see what she wants to say against every piece of evidence. She can defend her own case here. Once done, I will make the final decision.”, The King announced. I swallowed the lump that had just magically appeared in my throat.‘Don’t worry, little sister. As long as I’m alive, nothing will happen to you. Just don’t say a word in your defense.’ I heard Eva’s words in my mind.How the hell did that happen?I tried not to look surprised after hearing her words. But how could she mind linking me without my wolf?I tried to talk to her but I couldn’t. Maybe this was only one-way communication. A little tiny amount of hope appeared in my heart. Until then, I had no idea what she would do, but if she had said so, then she would surely do something.But what if sh
Aleena's POV.“I had a doubt on her that she might do anything nasty to stop the Luna Ceremony. Because I had a feeling that she wasn’t what she shows.”“And your fear and doubt came true when you realized that all your feelings toward her changed all of a sudden when you announced choosing her as your chosen mate?”, The King asked.“No. That’s not true.”, He replied. I tried not to look surprised because of his sudden revelation. While everyone present there gasped in shock and surprise.What did he mean by that?“Can you explain your answer? Because no one is able to understand your answer ‘No. That’s not true.’”“Yes! I can.”, Stephen said. “I don’t know why Luna Penelope had written anything about love potion in the diary because I’m pretty sure that I was in the right mind and right sense when I had chosen Aleena as my chosen mate. Yes! This announcement was not less than a shock for every pack member in my pack, including my family members, but that’s true, and I believe that y
Aleena's POV.“This is the call recording of former Luna Penelope and Silas, a contracted vampire whom she had asked to kill Evangeline. And this is the real voice of both of them.”, he explained, providing a file. “Here is the forensic report of the call. As per the conversation and the evidence that I have collected until now, it looks like Luna Penelope was behind everything. And also, behind the plan to trap Aleena for her murder otherwise, what is the use of writing everything against her in a diary just a day before her death? I would like to call my mother, Luna Chloe, now.”“Sure, go ahead.”“So, Mom! The day when Aleena was stabbed, we were in the hospital. Where were you?”“Emma and I were with Luna Penelope because we were worried about her state of mind. But later, when she woke up, she was acting normal. She went to the study room in which Alpha Francis was killed and spent all her time over there and had asked us not to disturb her. We did just like she had asked us to
Aleena’s POV.“I must say, Aleena! You’re the one hell lucky woman to be blessed by such an amazing mate.”, The werewolf king commented.I saw her quickly rushing toward me, but Daniel grabbed her arms, removing his grip from her arms. She glared at him and then ran toward me with a smile.But I sensed something.Her scent… it had been changed again.It meant only one thing now.‘She is pregnant.’, Leia chirped. Immediately a vivid memory of me running around Mom came in front of me happily, shouting that I was going to big sister now.Then mom’s words came to my mind, ‘The weakest phase of any woman is when she is pregnant.’‘I hope you’re not thinking of hurting Eva and her unborn baby.’, Leia said, knowing very well how my mind works.‘No! I’m not thinking anything. At least, not now.’, I responded, and by that time, Eva hugged me tightly and kissed my head.Was she serious?I hadn’t taken a bath for the last five days, and she was kissing someone like me. While this was going on,
Aleena's POV.“Why did you apologize to me? And by thinking what all things, you apologized to me?” he asked, walking toward me.“That’s because I wanted you to know that ‘I’m sorry for what I did to you was wrong’ and ‘I feel bad that I tried to deceive you.”“A proper apologies have three parts. You have mentioned the first two. What is the third part?” he asked, coming closer toward me. Even though I was a hard time concentrating on his question because of his nakedness, I replied to him.“‘What can I do to make it right? OR How do I make this better?’”, I replied.“Don’t you think you miss this part? Because as far as I remember, you ran away from there instead of making things right. Whatever I have known about you, I can say that you’re a strong woman, Lina, who stands and deal instead of running away. And where were you going by leaving your dad’s pack members and your family in this situation?”Tears started brimming in my eyes hearing him, and before I didn’t realize it, the
Aleena’s POV.Next Morning!!When I woke up, I found myself under Stephen’s naked body.Don’t tell me that something happened between us.‘Leia’‘Even though that idea is tempting. No, nothing happened between us.’, She grumbled. ‘By the way, until when you’re going to stay a virgin?’‘Shut up.’At first, I thought to push Stephen harshly, but then the memories from the suite flashed in front of my eyes, and I knew if I didn’t want the same treatment from him, I shouldn't be doing the same with him. I tried to loosen his grip around me, but it looked like he was not going to leave me anytime sooner, maybe because he was scared that I would run away again, leaving them, and this time they wouldn’t be able to find out about us.“Stephen”“Hmm”“I have to go outside. Let go of me.”, I muttered because I was sure he could hear me loud and clear. He didn’t say anything for a while, and eventually, he removed his heavy body from my top and lay beside me. I was about to leave when all of a
Aleena's POV.“What kind of behaving is this?” I asked, sensing his anger. Whether he was mad because I didn’t come out of the river just after he asked me to do so?“My behavior is the result of your sluttish act.”, he growled. “What were you doing before you sensed me?” he questioned back, fuming in anger. My heart started pounding loudly against the ribcage when I realized what he was talking about.“The time I checked, pleasuring on their own is not a crime nor any sluttish act.”, I said confidently, not really understanding the reason what was making him this angry? But it looked like my answer pissed him a little more than he was earlier. He grabbed my jaw tightly, pulling my face closer to him.“Don’t try to play dumb, Lina.”, he warned. “If I found you are pleasuring yourself again by thinking about my brother, then I will make sure that you won’t be able to walk for a few days.”, he threatened with a growl.I looked at him for a while, wondering whether I should tell him or
