"Why not?" Michael asks, confused. "You're his mate, aren't you?" "I am, but he never treatedas one. Alpha Reagan knew from the first day he set his eyes onthat I was his mate yet he didn't say anything. He letstay in the Harem and watchedget bullied tand again by the other girls. I've been through so much in his hands and to top it all, his subjects hate me! They'd rather start a war than letbectheir Luna. They think I poisoned Alina." "Not anymore." Mum chimes in and my brain scatters within. I look at her with raised brows and she nods her head.
"I... I don't understand." "A few days ago, a trial was held and Alina's crimes were exposed. Alpha Reagan provided strong evidence to prove that Alina murdered two adults and poisoned herself in order to kill the baby in her womb and blit on you. A whole lot of other crimes she committed were exposed and Alpha Reagan gave her a death sentence. She was hanged yesterday. Alina is dead and the Crescent Moon Pack subjects are all ready to go down on their knees and beg for your forgiveness." I am completely dumbfounded after hearing those words.

Alina has been hanged for her crimes.
Alina is dead.
The pack subjects want to apologise for pointing accusing fingers at me.
I secretly pinch myself very hard and take a moment to appreciate the pain that I feel coursing through the assaulted spot. This is not a dream. This is reality. Alina has finally paid for her crimes. I want to smile, but my mood turns sour again when Alpha Reagan crosses my mind.
It's true that he fulfilled his promise toby bringing Alina to justice, but I still don't want to get back with him. I'm his mate, meaning I'm his aqual, but he has never treatedas such. I don't want to be with a man who'll always wantto be under his wings. I have my own life to live, goals to accomplish. If I go back to Alpha Reagan, my goals will be nothing but thoughts that I will never be able to act upon. I don't want that.
"I uh..." I croak. Clear my throat. "I'm truly happy to hear that. It was about tAlina atoned for her crimes. I'm happy Alpha Reagan finally saw to that, but that doesn't change how I feel. I don't want to go back to that pack. Please don't giveto them when they cfor me." My teary voice pleads as I look from Michael to my mother with tear-filled eyes.
"Great!" The sound of cutlery clattering against a I plate fills the entire dining room and I shoot Sheila a scared look. "Just great!" She exclaims yet again as she angrily bangs her fist on the table and rises. "First, a complete stranger is brought into our hand now we can't even eat dinner without it turning into a pity party." She shootsa deadly glare that burns right through my face to the back of my head. Her wide eyes scareto the core. "All thanks to you!" With that, she storms out of the dinner and the tears in my eyes break loose as I look at Michael and my mother who looked absolutely horrified by her sudden outburst.

God, my life is a hot mess!
"Do you want more chicken?" A masculine voice interrupts my m thoughts and I jump upin fright. I almost faint when I look up and see that Ryan is the one who just asked the question.

Ryan says as he places the plate of food before me. "Enjoy your meal." Then he turns back to continue with his meal.
