“Everyone, today we are gathered here to judge Luna Aurora for committing adultery with her guard Steven.”

..What?!

Aurora snapped her head up in disbelief, glaring at the blonde, beautiful woman sitting on the throne with a sm smile.

That was her husband’s move beloved mistress, Chloe.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

And she was the Luna of Silver Blade Pack. Her husband was Alpha Damien.

This morning, while Damien was out patrolling the borders, Chloe ordered soldiers to escort her to this courtroo

She walked in and found the room full of ministers and servants and maids from the packhouse.

Aurora knew that nothing good was going to happen at the courthouse today…But adultery?!

Chloe was crazy framing her for that! Nobody was going to believe it!

“Nonsense!” Aurora snapped, shocked and angry. “I know you want to replace me as Luna, but you need to find a better excuse! Steven was assigned to me by Alpha Damien as my guard. We are innocent! The whole court can testify for me!”

“Oh really? Like…

Chloe giggled, her voice sweet yet mocking.

Aurora motioned her maid Jenny to step forward, “Jenny, you have been my maid for nearly 5 years. So tell them- have I ever been unfaithful to Alpha Damien?!”

Jenny cautiously moved forward, her head bowed and eyes darting nervously.

“…Luna Aurora…is indeed cheating on the Alpha…” she whispered.

“WHAT?” Aurora let out a cry.

There was an upsurge of noise among the ministers and attendants. They whispered amongst themselves, all eyes fixed on them.

Aurora grabbed Jenny’s hand, her face very pale, “Jenny! What are you talking about? You know that I have never

Jenny dropped to her knees abruptly, tears pouring out of her eyes:

“Of course. You will be honored for your bravery, Jenny. Chion smiled.

Aurora felt dizzy with disbelief.

She couldn’t believe her most trusted maid would betray her.

“Lies…LIAR!” She cried, trembling out of anger. “I didn’t-”

Chloe smirked, triumph gleaming in her eyes, “Lie? Were you in Steven’s room yesterday, Luna

“Yes! But..”

But she only went to Steven’s room to check on him!

Steven was injured during a patrol not long ago. Yesterday, she went to see if Steven had recovere his bandages for him, which was why he was half-naked.

But nothing weird happened between them!

Yet Chloe didn’t give Aurora a chance to defend herself.

She waved her hand and said in a booming voice, “Not just Jenny, there are others who can testify!”

She gestured for a few servants to step forward. They exchanged glances but ultimately nodded:

“We saw it too, Luna with Steven…”

“Yeah I heard them giggling in Steven’s room yesterday…They sounded intimate…”

“They have been doing this for a while…”

Aurora staggered back.

…All these people had been threatened or bribed by Chloe!

“I want to see Steven!”

Aurora cried, determination shining in her eyes. “Bring Steven out and we will straighten the whole thing out in front of everyone!”

Steven was

like a big brother to her, always looking out for her. Aurora was sure that Steven would tell everyone the truth and clear her name!

“Already then.”

Chloe snickered. Weirdly, she didn’t look afraid or panicked at all

“Luna Aurora wants to see Steven. Then bring Steven to her!” she ordered the soldiers.

Aurora eyed her suspiciously. Why didn’t she look afraid?

Did she bribe Steven as well?

No, it couldn’t be.

Steven would never betray her!

Moments later, the soldiers came into the courtroom. But they didn’t have Steven with them but were in: carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth.

Aurora’s heart plummeted.

“What… what is this?” her voice trembled, disbelief in her eyes.

Chloe stood up, wearing a smug smile. “Oh, Luna Aurora, it seems you don’t know yet. Steven committed su out of guilt this morning!”

The courtroom erupted in chaos, everyone’s eyes fixed on the stretcher.

Aurora felt dizzy, grief almost knocking her down.

Steven was…DIED?!

But he could never have committed suicide out of guilt because there was absolutely nothing between them!

So there was left with only one explanation-Chloe killed Steven to frame her! To make sure that she lost her only Twitness!

Yesterday, when she met Steven, he was fine, even comforting her, saying that Alpha Damien would eventually understand her love and come around.

But today, Steven’s body lay here…cold and lifeless…

He was dead… because of her!

“YOU KILLED HIM!!!”

Aurora jerked around and roared at Chloe, her eyes bloodshot because of grief and indignation, “He didi anything! He was kind and loyal! You killed an innocent person Chloe!”

gled, “I killed him? That is

ment he might face when everyone finds out abou

“BULLSHIT!” Aurora’s voice trembled, tears filling her eyes. “You are a murd throne and chain her up!!!”

Her furious voice echoed in the courtroom.

Yet nobody made a move.

Almost every minister, servant and soldier was looking at Chloe instead, waitin

With a pleasant laugh, Chloe elegantly stood up, gazing down at Aurora:

“Your Majesty, are you denying the facts? Steven’s body is here. And I have a larg have?”

…Nothing.

Aurora had nothing.

Her maid had betrayed her. The only person who could prove her innocent was deal her with suspicion and disgust.

“Strip Aurora

out of her Luna attire!” Chloe said loudly, “And throw her into prison!”

The soldiers jumped at Aurora instantly.

Sobbing, Aurora cried to the ministers, “I am still your Luna! PLEASD-don’t let Chloe d

One minister coldly remarked, “You’ve been married to Alpha Damien for almost an year Maybe it’s time for Alpha Damien to have a new Luna.”

Aurora felt like her heart was being torn apart.

This statement struck at the

deepest wound within her.

She had been striving to bear a child for Damien. But Damien was very cold to her. They hac the past 3 months! There was no way she could give birth to a child that way.

She fell to her knees, tears blurring her vision.

“And you are a commoner! You didn’t deserve Alpha Damien in the first place!” the minister ta mating with Alpha Damien, you had a reputation of being disobedient! Not even your parents single man in the city wanted to marry you! Your mate bond with the alt

“NO!I DIDN’T-”

“What are you waiting for?!” Chloe shrieked, “Take her to prison! NOW!!!”

The soldiers rushed forward, grabbing Aurora despite her struggles and cries, dragging her towards the door-

ANG!
