“I am sorry, Love. Please.”
“Don’t you ever get tired of saying those words?” he asked, sounding angry.
“Be mad at me. I know it was wrong. I should have turned around the minute you said so. But I could not stop. My protective instincts kicked in, and I had to save her. And you know I fought well. I am a strong wolf.”
I wrapped my hands tightly around his arms, as I looked up into his eyes. He looked irritated and tired.
“You were very brave, as well as very foolish, love. And you disobeyed me. What
am I supposed to do with you?” He sighed.
“I don’t know, punish me again?” I asked.
He smiled. He slowly came at me and wrapped me in his arms.
“I would have died if something happened to you. Do not do such stunts again.”
He nuzzled into my hair.
“Lucian, I can’t sit around doing nothing, I am an Alpha, I will fight along with you. I was extremely upset, my parents died because of me. I just needed to vent out,
so I ran, then when I saw Meg. I had to protect her. Killing those wolves gave me
a release, a purpose. I am sorry for being reckless.”
His face softened, and he kissed my tear marked cheeks.
“Don’t blame yourself for whatever happened in the past, none of it was your fault.
If you did not exist, how would I have got such a lovely, brave, and kind mate?”
He smiled his dimpled smile.
“So, will you forgive Meg as well?”
“Forgiveness for trying to kill you?” He growled.
“She is the victim here, Lucian, she was being manipulated by her boyfriend.
Can’t you see it?” I explained, trying to think of something to save her.
“No, I don’t see it, as per pack rules. She has to die.” He declared.
“But I want to forgive her, I said stubbornly.”
“That’s not your decision.”
“Why not? I am Luna; I would like to forgive her. She has paid for her crimes.”
His eyes turned steely and his countenance changed.
“No”
I sighed.
“Well, if we kill her, we’ll never find the rest of the rogues.” I shrugged.
“What do you mean?” He asked narrowing his eyes.
“Her boyfriend was exploiting her and making her do things, maybe she knows
more about them like where they are hiding. Who is helping them? That kind of stuff. We can use her to get to them.” I tried to reason. Praying that he would get convinced.
He was thoughtful for several seconds.
“Alright, let’s see what she knows.”
Alice’s POV –
A shivering Meg arrived in my suit with a rather stern-looking Savannah. I had requested Lucian to let me interrogate her alone. He would just frighten her more. Hence, he had left to attend to his business.
“How are you feeling now?” I asked, smiling pleasantly.
“She tried to kill herself,” Savannah said, irritated.
“Is it’s true, Meg?” I asked.
She was tearful, “Madam Luna, I am ashamed of what I did, I don’t deserve to stay alive anymore. My family has disowned me. I have nothing worth living for.” She cried.
“Your punishment is for me to decide, take this as your trial.”
I turned towards Savannah,” thanks for your help. I would like to speak with her in private.”
Savannah looked a bit startled.
“Are you certain? She tried to kill you. It is not advisable to be alone with her. She might try to harm you again.”
I rolled my eyes.
“I am capable of protecting myself from an injured Omega, so you don’t need to worry about me, Savannah.”
Savannah looked reluctant to leave, but she could not defy my command. Once we were alone, I turned towards Meg and passed her a tissue box.
“Meg, I know you have suffered a lot, and it’s not your fault. You were being abused and manipulated. I want to help you, but it is only possible if you help me out. Will you answer my questions?”
She nodded.
“Good, now open your mind to me, you can show me your thoughts if you cannot talk about them?”
She nodded.
“So, Taylor was your mate, I suppose?”
“No, he wasn’t my mate, I never found my mate, he was good to me and I thought we could be together. Then he changed. He wanted to rise in the ranks. He hated being bossed around. Furthermore, he believed he was better than the Alphas and the Betas. They were born with privileges. He made some new friends outside the pack. They filled him with all sorts of weird ideas. I asked him to stay away from them, but he hit me instead. He forced me to do things which I didn’t like.”
“Things like?”
“Spying on the Alpha, he wanted to know about the pack activities, the security, everything. I tried not to help him, then he used to abuse me.”
“Why didn’t you just break up with him?”
“I thought I loved him, and he promised me he would take care of me. I fell for his lies, then he made me burn the cabin. I refused, then he said he would kill my family if I did not help. He ordered me to implicate Eliza so that I would not get caught. He asked me to meet again and wanted me to poison you and the Alpha, but I refused. So, they raped me………” She broke down again.
