Chapter Four: Banished from the Pack

“That girl named Lyra is getting on my nerves, I'll have to deal with her.” Natasha grumbled.

At that moment, a devilish smile appeared on her face and her words came back to her mind.

“Diana will surely help me with this plan, just as she has promised.”

Natasha excitedly put on her clothes and headed for Diana's room.

“Diana, I hope you haven't forgotten your words.” Natasha said, smiling with a smirk on her face.

“What words?” Diana asked, her brows furrowed confused.

“Have you forgotten so soon, you promised me you deal with Lyra remember, the guards are supposed to whip her.” Natasha explained.

“Oh, I understand now, but it'll be difficult to just whip her without her committing any offense.” Diana replied.

“Of course, she'll commit an offense. Leave that to me.” Natasha said, beaming, at least some part of her plan is working.

“Okay, sure.” Diana answered.

“Your only job is to make sure, Aaron, our Gamma is in support and everything will work out.” Diana said before leaving.

At the Gamma's office.

“Aaron, I've come to make a request.” Diana said with a serious face.

“Stop stalling and go straight to the point, I'm not in a good mood for talking.” Aaron replied frowning.

“Okay, it's about Lyra, Natasha and I have a little plan of dealing with her, all we need is your support.” Diana said, expectantly waiting for what he will say.

Aaron sneered, then a sly but wicked smile appeared on his face, replacing his earlier frown. “You have my full support.”

Meanwhile, poor Lyra was trying to sleep when a series of bang were heard.

“Bang! Bang!” The bang continued, she had no choice but to open the door.

Diana, Natasha, Kael and some group of guards bashed into Lyra's room, the guards were strong and looked fierce while Kael was angry as it was written all over his face.

“Lyra, you think you can get away after killing one of my man.” Kael yelled angrily, his jaw tightened as he slapped her hardly.

SMACK!!

Tears began to fall as Lyra cried out loud.

“Alpha, I don't know what you're talking about?” Lyra managed to say through her sobs.

“Alpha, don't listen to her, she stabbed Ollie, I'm sure there's a proof.” Natasha said slandering Lyra.

“Guards! Search her room immediately.” Kael thundered, his hands curling into a fist.

“Alpha, I truly don't know what you're talking about, you won't find anything in room.” Lyra begged but as soon as she finished, a bloody knife was found under, she wished she could rephrase her words.

“How did that knife get here.” Lyra questioned her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Take her to the middle of the pack, this matter must be addressed properly.” Diana instructed, looking at me with disgust in her eyes.

Lyra knelt in front of the whole pack, her knee cold making her shiver, her wrist ached because of the force the warriors had used to jerk her.

Her cheeks were swollen from the slap she received earlier.

The entire pack gathered her, making a circle. Their eyes showed so much hatred and indifference.

“She's a little Omega, desperate for power, she's certainly not worthy of our Alpha.”

“She's an imposter, a betrayer, and a hypocrite!”

“Trying to kill a guard to vent her anger, this is madness.”

Lyra tried to cover ears from all their rumbling, but she couldn't, her eyes scrutinized the surrounding crowd then landed on Kael, the man who supposed to be her mate and defender, stood in front her glaring at her with his beautiful golden eyes.

Natasha stood beside him, her arms crossed with his, she whispered something to Kael making his face darken.

The pack healer, Natasha's father came forward with the injured guard Ollie, wrapped with bandage, his shirt was stained with blood.

“Alpha.” Ollie groaned holding on to his injury, wincing as his face twisted in pain.

“I saw her trying to run away from the pack, –” He paused then continued.

“I tried to stop her then she stabbed me.”

This was a scheme to tarnish Lyra's name before Kael the alpha.

Mustering courage, Lyra defended herself.

“Alpha, no it's a lie. I didn't touch him, I've been in my room all night. Please I'm innocent.” Lyra pleaded sobs gasping from her mouth.

Natasha sneered walking towards Lyra. “If it's a lie, then explain why a bloody knife was found in your room?” She laughed sarcastically staring at Lyra with mocking eyes.

“Lyra, being rejected might have been painful but venting it all out my murder it's just disappointing.”

The rumors began, everyone started chitchatting and whispers to those around them.

“Alpha, I'm innocent of this accusation, I was framed.”

“Silence!” Kael's voice reverberated through the air like a warning, cold and merciless.

Lyra looked up at him, her eyes teary as she stared with her last hope.

“Did you stab him or not?” He questioned his voice distant.

“I… I.. I didn't.” Lyra stammered.

She didn't stab Ollie or own a knife, but there was no way to prove it. The blood on the knife matched Ollie's blood there's no way to escape the accusation.

Kael breathe in sharply. "So you want me to believe that someone planted a bloody knife and your room and framed you for stabbing Ollie."

Lyra opened her to speak, but no words came out, her words were stacked in her throat.

“We all know the punishment for betrayal right?” Kael asked facing the crowd.

Lyra felt a sharp pain in her chest, his words hit her so hard.

Echoes surrounded the atmosphere, but no one refuted, they all agreed to his words.

“Please, I beg you don't banish me.” Lyra pleaded tears flooding her eyes, her shook uncontrollably trembling.

Kael took a quick glance at Lyra and quickly averted his gaze, without hesitation he pronounced. “Lyra is thereby banished from the Silver Moon pack.”

Lyra life shattered at that moment, tears flew down her cheeks, the place she called home was gone, everything was over.

She collapsed into the mud, as the pack bond severed, painful and piercing, it burned through her whole body leaving her weak.

Two warriors stood beside her and yanked her forward gripping her hands like iron chains.

This is a dream, I just have to wake up from, this can't be real.

“Alpha please!” She managed to scream as the dragged out of the pack

Kael walked away never looking back.

Natasha beaming victoriously, with the pride of accomplishing her plans.
