Chapter 20
The time for my trial had finally arrived.
The tribal elders and parliamentarians were seated already but Alpha Leo was nowhere to be found and it scared me.
What if these people before me decide to pass their judgements before he arrives? I would be certainly doomed. I kept my eyes on the door and at the last minute, it swung open.
Alpha Leo walked in with a man. The man walked to the witness box while Alpha Leo walked to his throne.
"Rita Lloyd." Alpha Leo began. "You have been brought before the pack council for the crime of treachery. On the sixteenth of August, twenty twenty-four, you gave me water poisoned with wolfsbane. How do you plead?" "Not guilty, my Alpha. I responded "Not guilty?" One of the pack elders scoffed. "You were red-handed."
"Do you have any proof or a witness to testify on your behalf?" Alpha Leo asked, ignoring the tribal elder.
"Alpha, I have a witness. He is a cafeteria staff member called Rio Alpha Leo had texted me the name of the witness earlier today.

"Mr Rio, you've been called by Rita Lloyd to give a testimony in court. Please tell the court what you know about the wolfsbane poisoning of the Alpha's water." "Rita was framed. The name of the person who framed her is Jude. He carelessly dropped his phone and he picked it up for him. Before I could return his phone, he got a strange text message. I took a picture of the message before giving his phone back without him knowing. I want I want to ask for permission to show everyone the message before I continue." Permission granted,

Alpha Leo said and Rio left this witness box, showed Alpha Leo, the parliamentarians and the elders. the message before he returned to the witness box. From the message, you all can see that Jude was asked to poison bottled water and give it to she-wolf whose image was attached. You all can see that the image belongs to Rita. From the message, we can see that Jude had no idea that Alpha Leo was going to be involved. Jude, guessing that I had seen his message, threatened me not to tell anybody and I went home immediately to be on the safer side." "And, where he is Jude.
"He is dead. He got shot this morning"
"Do you know who sent him the message?"
"One Mr Moure. He got shot this morning too. Whoever tried to frame Rita was able to cover his tracks well. I got shot too, but luckily I survived it"
I clenched my fists.

Sebastion was in the dungeon. If I stood up and told everyone what he told me and what he did to Janice, I could get into trouble. They will all ask me how Sebastian shot the people who died this morning from the dungeon. 14:52 Wed, Oct 23
37%.
Sebastian was the son of the Alpha's brother who I was sure had some of the elders on his side.
Alpha Leo would support me, but that will only bring him down in the eyes of his pack members. The last thing I wanted. was for Alpha Leo to lose control of his pack because of me.
I pursed my lips.
One day, Sebastian would get what he deserved. Today was just not the day. The person working with him would also get punished too, because Sebastian was obviously not working alone. Alpha Leo had locked Sebastian up to stop him from killing those who could expose him, but they still ended up getting shot.
I had to find a way to convince him to continue investigating this incident.
Soon the trial was over and I was acquitted. I walked over to Rio and thanked him for testifying in my favor despite getting
shot
snot.
"Everyone except Rita and my pack elders should leave, Alpha Leo announced, making my heart pound hard.
I could guess what he wanted to do next and I honestly did not know how to react to what was about to happen. I was fidgeting and from how the pack elders were looking at me, I knew they noticed that I was fidgeting.
"Alpha, is there anything wrong?" One of the elders asked.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Rita,
I want to introduce you to them as my Luna to be. What do you think? I looked up at Alpha Leo as I heard his voice in my head.
He raised an eyebrow as soon as our eyes locked.
I gave him a small nod. I signed the contract. He had done his part. It was time to do mine. "Yes, you
Alpha Leo smiled and then turned to the elders. I want to make Rita Lloyd my Luna." "Why?" A pack elder asked.
"Because I can," Alpha Leo responded with a frown in his face. He turned to the other pack elders, watching their faces. One of the pack elders got up. "Alpha," he began. "We have heard disturbing rumors about the she-wolves you want to make Luna. Wasn't she the mate of your nephew? Didn't he reject her because she slept around with other wolves? We refuse to accept a slut as our Luna" My blood began to boil.
I curse the day I met Sebastian.
Alpha Leo relaxed on his throne. "What nephew? Is it the same nephew that is always harassing my Luna to be? Old man, if you have no facts to spill, remain on your seat and don't try to embarrass yourself before me."
He turned to me and smiled. "I have made my decision already so I am not asking for permission to make her my Luna. I am telling you that she will be my Luna. In a few days from now Rita Lloyd will be the pack's Luna and that is final 2/2 SEND GIFT
