The Alpha's Cruel Trial
"You make me question if you were ever fit to be our Luna. Perhaps you need a chance to prove it."
My blood ran cold. "What… what are you going to do?"
"The Moonlight Trial."
A collective gasp rippled through the pack members who had gathered around us.
The Moonlight Trial was a death sentence.
It was an ancient, brutal ritual for the strongest warriors, not for the Luna. Not for me.
"Ethan, that's… that's too dangerous," I said, my voice low.
"Is it?" His voice was devoid of warmth, final and cold. "If you can't pass a simple trial, how can you protect this pack? Or, you could get on your knees, apologize to Bella right now, and give up your title as Luna."
