The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 45

Alpha Bane's POV

I left the throne room, with Donald behind me as I headed straight to the dungeon where Sophia and her wicked mother were. It was about time. Something had to be done to those traitors in my Pack.

"Are you going to pass a verdict on them now?" Donald asked, sounding surprised that I was headed there.

"Yes."

We kept walking and Donald said nothing else afterwards and so we walked to the cell grounds in silence.

As we got to the dungeon, I decided to head over to Mrs Scott's cell first before going to see Sophia. I saw a few guards; about 7 in number and I called them to follow me.

We got in there and I immediately hissed at the sight of the woman. She looked at me with pitiable eyes but I wasn't moved by that. Anyone in her shoes would have done the same thing to get some pity. I wasn't foolish enough to buy all of that.

"Guards!" I called out to the guys behind me, pointing to three of them as soon as they got closer to me. "Grab this woman very tightly so that she won't do anything funny and bundle her to the throne room in her chains. I'm going to pass my verdict on her in the presence of Aurora and the Alpha and Luna of the Silver Moon Pack."

"Yes, Alpha," they chorused before walking down to where Mrs Scott was. The look on their faces showed that they were intent on following their instructions as they should and I was glad to see that.

As they grabbed her, she looked like she wanted to say something; an apology or a plea, but somehow, the words wouldn't come out of her mouth. She was teary-eyed and I wondered if she regretted her actions or was just that way because she had been caught.

I watched the guards lead her out of her cell and head to the throne room. Then I snapped my fingers at Donald who seemed so engrossed with what went on with Mrs Scott, so he could follow me as I moved.

We walked quickly to Sophia's cell which wasn't far away from her mother's cell and in about two minutes, we were right in front of the door of the dungeon.

As I opened the door, Sophia quickly turned to see who it was that entered the dungeon. The look on her face was priceless. It was more of a shock than anything else and it was written all over her. Clearly, she wasn't expecting to see me.

"You're here to release me, right?" She asked, forcing a subtle smile off her face but I just stared at her wondering how she could have conceived such a thought after all that she had done to me.

"Please, Alpha Bane," she begged. "I'm sorry for all I've done to you. Forgive me, please. I've suffered so much here."

"Stop!" I screamed at her, hearing enough of her nonsense. "Today is the day that I'll pass my verdict on you."

"But… You can't do that, Alpha Bane. There's no way that I'll…"

"Guards, take her away. If she resists, drag her to the throne room by any means necessary. "

Four guards rounded her and pulled her up despite her attempts to resist. I turned around and began to walk back to the throne room.

"Let me go! Leave me alone!" She screamed as the guards followed behind with her in their grasp.
