THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Eight
Aegis's POVThe tribunal deliberated for two hours. I sat in the temporary holding area off the main square and ate a sandwich Noah had produced from somewhere.Kira sat across from me, pretending to read something on her phone even though she hadn't scrolled in twenty minutes."You can just sit," I told her.She put the phone down. "How are you this calm." She shrieked."I'm not calm," I said. "I'm eating.""That's the same thing with you."I shook my head and took another bite. "It really isn't."She stared at me for a moment. "It's going to be fine.""I know.""The evidence was—""I know," I said again. "I built the evidence. I know what it is."She remained quiet until I finished the sandwich.The tribunal bell rang at the two hour mark exactly.We walked back out into the square and the noise shifted. The wolves were out for blood and they wanted it from the people who dared to murder their people.Langford stood up hurriedly clearing his throat, "In the matter of Beta Solice of
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Seven
Aegis's POV Beta Solice whimpered lying on the floor clutching his left leg while Jaxon the Royal Beta stood beside the king patting a silver gun by his side.The tribunal reconvened before Langford stood up and announced."The tribunal will hear from the former Luna Mara s a voluntary witness."Mara walked to the testimony position with careful, deliberate steps. She faced the tribunal, and then —"I'm here to say what I should have said years ago," she started. Her voice was smaller than mine but the speakers carried it cleanly. "Beta Solice and his wife noticed early that little Aegis was — different." She paused. "She was being drawn on. Regularly. In amounts that a child should never—" She stopped and restarted. "My husband put an end to it when he found out how far it had gone. She was nine at the time. He threatened consequences. It stopped. For a while." Her jaw tightened. "It started again when his attention was elsewhere. We found out again when she was twelve, half-dead
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Six
Aegis's POVThey used the square because the Royal Castle wasn't big enough.That was the first sign that this was going to be different from any proceeding this kingdom had seen in recent memory. By the time I arrived, every available surface was packed with people— the steps, the fountain edges, the low walls along the perimeter. The surrounding streets were packed with people watching on screens that had been set up at every major intersection in every territory.The stream was live.The kingdom was watching.I stood at the entrance to the square for exactly three seconds, took it all in, and walked forward.Beta Solice was already contained on the opposite side — seated between two of the king's men.Noah and Kira were in the front row of the public seating.The tribunal panel was seated at the elevated table — five council members, robed, arranged in the formal configuration of the old proceedings. And at the center, as was his right as king over any tribunal convened in his ter
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Five
Aegis's POVI woke up to the smell of damp stone and old metal.My eyes scanned around me quickly. Stone floor. Iron bars. A room that had been underground long enough that the walls had grown their own ecosystem of moss and water stains.I was in some sort of a cage.Like I'd planned, I pulled out my phone and dialed the one person I knew would this phone next to him. I sat up slowly after the call.My head ached where something had connected with it during the taking. My wrists were unmarked as they hadn't bothered with restraints beyond the bars, which told me something about how much they thought the bars would hold.Good morning, my dragon grunted.Where are we.Underground in Solice's eastern property. I recognized the smell on the way in.I looked around the space beyond the bars to the stone corridor. Torches, which was a theatrical choice. Two guards at the far end who hadn't noticed I was awake yet.How long was I out.Four hours. Maybe five.The trial.I calculated from t
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Four
Alpha Damian's POV"She's not here." Noah drawled.My eyes scanned around the room I was in last night. The dried blood on the floor pounded my heart against my chest. "How many entry points to her room, we need to start investigating at once," I gritted out. The room full of people turned to each other in confusion. Noah turned to me, "We're not doing that, your Highness."He must have seen the look on my face because he continued, "Our Alpha can handle herself. She'll reach out when she's ready."My fingers clenched by my sides, "She was taken from her room in the middle of the night," I started.He nodded, "Yes."I pointed around the room to the bloody footprints in front of us. "By multiple people."He nodded again, with a smirk, "We're aware.""And you're—" I glared at the people around me. They all looked so calm and unbothered. "You're just—""Going about our day," the elder closest to me drawled. "Yes."I stared at her. Blood began to pound in my head. Jaxon made a quiet
THE REVENGE OF THE DEAD LUNA Chapter One Hundred And Three
Aegis's POVIt was the night before the trial and I couldn't sleep. I had imagined this night differently.In the version I'd run in my head, I would be calm. I was after all prepared.The actual version had me sitting on the edge of my bed at nine in the evening staring at the wall and running the opening statement for the fourteenth time.A loud knocked rattled against the door. Brianna walked in without waiting for an answer.She folded herself into a chair by the window with two cups of tea and a loud sigh.I took one of the cups and we sat in silence. The view of the pack outside the window was quiet. No lights could be seen in the pack homes scattered outside."How are you actually feeling," Brianna whispered, taking a sip of her own cup.Warmth wrapped around my heart. She was one of the reasons this life had been so easy to live. I would surely miss her when I leave.You don't have to leave though, right?I ignored her.Aegis.We can't stay dragon. A sharp pain against the
