Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth
One of the Alphas stood, tapping a gavel on the panel to quiet the murmuring crowd.
“After careful consideration of all evidence presented,” the Alpha began, “we find Zoe guilty of treason against an Alpha. She is hereby sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility of parole.”
The room erupted into chaos, but I barely heard it. All I could see was Zoe’s trembling, beet red face, her mask of perfection finally shattering as the reality of her situation set in.
As Zoe was led away in handcuffs, silent and seething with barely-contained rage, I made my way to Noah. He opened his arms, and I fell into them, feeling the last of my tension melt away.
