Blinking back my tears, I backed away from <b>Tristan</b><b>. </b>Shaking my head, I handed the de to <b>Neron</b>.
Like clockwork, the crowd whispers <b>behind </b>me at the sudden revtion. They whisper why I’m hesitating or granting mercy. I scoffed silently. Gossip is a treasured hobby because they love to make wild assumptions.
“I’m sorry, Neron,” I whispered shamefully, “I thought I could do it, but I can’t.”
“It’s okay, Kiya.” Aforting smile rests on his face. He took the de and used his free hand to smoothen my hair. He k*ssed the top of my curls, “I’ve asked too much of you in a short <b>time</b>. Executing someone is a hefty responsibility, and I’m d you backed out. You stayed true to yourself. I’m proud of you.”
Onyx growled softly in him, making his <b>presence </b>known to me. Standing on my moral ground awakened a dissimr sensation. I’m proud, but I feel ashamed. The crowd expected to watch me murder my assaulter, but things changed<b>.</b>
How many think I’m weak? How many haven’t changed their thinking from the dark days? Many faces in the crowd are the <b>same </b>faces back then. It’s been five years since my suicide and my arrival, and I foolishly hoped some had the heart to change.
But one thing’s for certain: I <b>can </b>count on my friends. Zircon Moon? I’m still hesitant on trusting anyone except for the Gammas, including Neron and Raina. I’m watching for changes but I’m also watching for slipups.
Neither <b>has </b>slipped up yet.
Relieved, I can retreat to my safety and watch the execution. Neron has the de, so he’ll kill Tristan for

“Stop <b>this</b>, immediately.” A voice echoed. “No crime has urred; <b>thus </b>this execution is to be null and void forck of evidence and misconduct.”
Everyone’s heads shot to the right to see Jonathan Prince marching toward us with an older man in robes beside him. His aging face contorted in what I think to be…satisfaction? My eyes widened at his promation andmotion erupted <b>again</b>, but not as much as the anger from Neron.
“Dad, Elder Sage, what the f*ck is this?!” Neron demanded as they cut through the crowd. “You have no right
to stop these proceedings!”
“I do when I recognize a gross miscarriage of justice.” Jonathan glowered at his son. “<b>While </b>I’m not <b>acting </b><b>as </b>Alpha<b>, </b>I have senior authority. You’re preparing <b>to </b>execute an innocent man over wild usations–and
without a trial!”
“Under his own volition. Tristan confessed to me and Raina!” Neron yelled. “He’s forfeited his right to a trial because of it. He harmed the Alpha’s mate, punishable by death! I told youst night that you won’t stop me!”
Wait, I remember this! Last night, I was heading to <b>my </b>room for the evening when I heard yelling from the

fourth floor. Two separate voices battled out with hints of ss breaking. Werewolf senses can pick up on the smallest noises, but I couldn’t make out what they spoke about. It came from the Alpha Office, so I knew 02:11 <b>Neron </b>was arguing with someone. His Dad!
“There are many errors to your deration, Alpha Neron.” Elder Sage spoke emotionlessly. I recognize him as one of the pack elders. Every pack has one or two. Where the f*ck was he five years ago?! “No rape took ce.”
“Yes, the f*ck it did!” I screamed, marching over in disgust. “He raped me for years! How <b>can </b>you stand there and say it never happened?!”
“Stop acting crazy, dumb child. Byw, you can’t rape a ve.”
Bile erupted from my mouth when Jonathan dropped that bomb. No! He cannot take this away from me! The crowd silenced, sucked into the conflict between us four. Is there a level above fury? Because Neron’s face is turning as red as fire. <b>And </b>given that he has a weapon in his hands, this can end badly.
Elder Sage took out a book from his robe and flipped open to a specific page, whereas Jonathan couldn’t hide his smug smile. Neron is about to rip his head off! But he’s looking at me with a look that says, “I always win.”
I’ll get straight to the point. ves are not considered whole beings. They’re property. They have no rights. normally granted to non–ves. Rape is the forced sexual acts between two people–the perpetrator and the victim. Applying this to your context, you im that Tristan Dudley <b>raped </b>you when you were a ve. You were merely an object, and one cannot rape an object. Whether or not you consented, isn’t the issue. <b>You’ve </b>misinterpreted your entire situation.<b>”</b>
“I was a child!” My painful scream tore through my throat, shrilling through the air. “Tristan brutalized me! You cannot tell me my rapes didn’t exist because Jonathan forced me to be a ve!”
“It’s thew.”
“You don’t get to pick and chose whatws to follow, Dad! Thatw is obsolete!” Neron shouted, <b>his </b>fists trembling with his fury. Many pack members cowered under the might of his voice. “This is your convoluted <b>way </b>of getting revenge for Mom and Nuria, and <b>you </b>know it!”
“No. This is my way of ensuring a friend doesn’t die.” Jonathan shrugged calmly, unfazed by his son’s anger. “And don’t act high and mighty, Neron. At the time of the alleged ‘rapes“, she wasn’t recognized as your mate. You didn’t know until your ceremony. Are you killing Tristan for her sake or to ease your guilt? Because, from the looks of it, you’re putting an innocent man on death’s door over baseless usations of a mentally–ill woman. Like <b>a </b>fool blinded by love.”
“Whoa, Jackie!” Turning behind me<b>, </b>I see the others restraining Jackie back from pouncing on and tearing Jonathan apart. Her eyes, formerly emerald green, are coal ck. “Don’t!”
“You can’t do this to my sister, Jonathan!” Raina shouted.
“Please, <b>don’t </b>act like you’re innocent in all of this.” I knew that grating voice anywhere. Odessa, standing beside Darien, had a smile full of glee at me but soured when facing Raina, “You brutalized the stupid bitch as much as anyone else here and you call for justice? Might as <b>well </b>kill yourself, <b>Raina</b>, because you’re just as guilty<b>.</b>”
“Watch your f*cking mouth, Odessa,” Raina <b>warned</b>.

“Or what? This so–called love you have now. Where was it back then? Your crazy sister is an attention whorer Abusing a ve doesn’t exist, so no one did anything wrong. She’s the abusive one! She’s hit <b>me </b>and 02:0 threatened me countless times, but guess you didn’t know that, huh? That’s what this pack wants as a Luna?! The slut is a liar <b>and </b>you’re a hypocrite!”
Hell broke loose, Roaring, Baina tore away from her parents and tackled Odessa to the ground, savagely punching her in the face and throat. Darien <b>tried </b>to stop her, but because of the differences between his rank and strength, it was <b>hard</b>. Nothing will stop her from beating the shit <b>out </b>of her former best friend–not even <b>her </b>husband or parents,
Pack members backed away while some tossed insults and degradation my way until Neron’s lethal re silenced <b>them</b>.
“You’re a <b>piece </b>of shit!” Jackie shouted in her <b>rage</b>, still restrained. “A sick man! I’ll tear you apart for defecating on Kiya’s <b>name</b>!”
Jonathan ignored Jackie with an eye–roll, focusing back on Neron and me. “However, a crime urred today. Because of your <b>lies </b>and hysteria, <b>you </b>almost got a <b>man </b>killed. <b>And </b>you have a history of assaulting <b>pack </b>members, not just Tristan. That vites the deal between your pack and mine. I should <b>have </b>you in the dungeons for this.”
“Touch her and I’ll kill you.”
I’ve never seen <b>Jonathan’s </b>eyes so wide. Neron caged me in his arms, pressing my <b>face </b><b>into </b>his chest. My world crumbled. The justice I wanted is taken by the same man who ruined my life. Unlike Neron, he refuses to change. Deep down in his ck heart, he still mes me for his wife and daughter’s demise.
“You’re threatening me, son?”
“F*ck off! You won’t hurt Kiya or take her <b>away </b>from me! If you so <b>much </b>as f*cking try, I’ll <b>send </b>you to hell myself!” He bellows. “Senior authority does mean torturing my mate, selfish prick!”
“You <b>won’t </b>mate or end this ridiculous execution, and you dare to talk back to me? I raised an Alpha, <b>not </b><b>a </b>weak man! You’re a failure, Neron, and you’re taking this glorious pack down with you!”
“I’ll dly be a failure if it meant never be someone like you!”
My body lost all its warmth. I became so cold, not even Neron’s <b>arms </b>can warm me up. No matter what I do, I always get the short end of the stick.
My eyes scan the crowd, spotting many angry faces aimed at me. It seared into my flesh, sinking deep into <b>nerves</b>. I’ve ruined their peace. Daggers from their eyes <b>pierced </b>my heart in calcted ways to cause me the most pain.
The hinges preventing me from going insane are bing loose.
I’ve been called a liar and made out to be an attention–seeking whore. This <b>pack </b>never fails to disgust me. Why did Ie out here? Why did I agree to train the pups? Above all, am I stupid for setting foot upon and that held pain for me at every corner<b>?</b>
I made <b>a </b>mistake<b>.</b>
my
If this was <b>what </b>I’m repaid for my work–repugnance, andck of justice–I should’ve stayed my ass at home.

“I told you.” The surrounding chaos slowly faded into silence, but the action continued like a television show on mute. I felt nothing. Instead, I could only hear a singr voice in the deafening silence. “See <b>how </b>quickly they turned against you? No one truly cares about you, Little Moon. All of them <b>are </b>little monsters waiting to hurt you again, and they did! They sided with the abusers! Didn’t I tell you the <b>darkness </b>will show their true selves?”
Neron held me, but his arms did nothing to dispel the chill <b>from </b>Osiris‘ ghostly touch on my shoulders. How could I be <b>blind </b>to the truth? This was supposed to be the start of my healing! I’ve suffered enough!
“That disgusting man, Jonathan Prince, is no better than the men before him. Vileness is an innate trait within his bloodline. Stop believing that you’ll get retribution from this hellscape. It’ll nevere. Zircon Moon has been very lucky to avoid punishment for your torment. One execution won’t change them.”
One man dies today, but many still live. Cut one head off, three more appear. That’s how everything works with <b>Zircon</b>. Tristan is a single man in a sea of hatred. They’ve hidden behind an outdatedw that permitted my abuse. All because of a f*cking status.

I’ll never get justice. No one will ever be held responsible for my pain.
I HATE IT!
“You can do something about it, Little Moon. You can be the striking gavel of retribution. The right way no longer applies, so why not take matters into <b>your </b><b>own </b>hands? Don’t wait for justice; take it.”
An internal conflict emerges–a battle between right and wrong. <b>Righteousness </b>always <b>prevails</b><b>, </b>right? But it’s not always fair. I’ve walked down that path–and karma still has yet to make its appearance.
I’m done.
I’m tired of having my pain disregarded for the sake of love and forgiveness. I’m tired of having to be the better person and hold back my anger for some nonexistent moral ground. This pack won’t suffer on their own, no matter whose in charge<b>.</b>
My eyes turn to Tristan, leaning back against the bark with a broken, smug smile on his face. Jonathan will bail him out. I shouldn’t expect anything less–they’re buddies, after all.
“Want to hear what he’s thinking?” Osiris‘ sharine voice asked me. “<i>I </i>can give that to you.”
I heard it all the vile thoughts he has about me andments over my weakness.
“Poor thing. Coming all this way just to <b>lose</b><b>.</b>”
“As if anyone would believe a f*cking whore.”
“I wonder if she’s sweet now as she was back then. This time, I’d have some meat to hold on to.”
I snapped. Darkness billowed into my mind in a sh, tossing me over the edge into the abyss. And it’s <b>f*cking </b>euphoric.
“End his pathetic existence!”
My surrounding world faded to pitch–<b>ckness</b>. Void of warmth and light. I was alone with my target illuminated in my path–bound and smirking. Freedom etches closer to him like a futile rescue effort, wanting him unbound.

Tristan’s smile faded as he sensed my approach, ready for his next onught of vile words. But he never got the chance to say them. Because the de buried deep in his crotch expelled nothing but pathetic wheezes of pain.
“Don’t bury your dick in ces where it doesn’t belong,” I whisper sweetly, cracking a sinister smile of my own. I must look like a psychopath, but I didn’t care. This is my time to shine!
Blood spurted on my hands and clothes; the metallic scent pushing for more exposure<b>.</b>
Of <b>all </b>the ces he touched my body, I marked on his. The thighs, legs, stomach, chest, arms, and shoulders. He touched me everywhere, so I cut him everywhere. So much blood escaped, and it was glorious. Since the de is silver dipped with wolfbane, he isn’t <b>healing </b>from this.
Everywhere I strike is symbolic. It tells a wonderful story of years of vition. Ready or not, everyone will f*cking hear me today!
Next to be detached are <b>his </b>hands. “For all the times you touched me against my will.” I snap each finger along with his wrist. Then tore it off and threw them on the ground.
“For the times <b>I </b>screamed for you to stop.” Tilting his head up as he gasped for pain relief, I grabbed his canines and ripped them out of their gums. Scream, motherf*cker! Off with his tongue!
Literally.
I was far from done. With all my avatar power, I stomped on both his feet, relishing in the sweet breakage of his bones. He’ll never run again.
“For the times‘ everyone ignored my cries. The de buried it in one of his ears, obliterating his hearing. I still need the other.
Tristan couldn’t speak. Only scream like a pathetic puppy like how I <b>once </b><b>did</b>. Now, he knows what it feels like to have no one to rescue him.
“I’ll be thest person you’ll ever see.” I hissed darkly in his good ear before I shed his good eye. “And I’ll be thest person you’ll ever hear. Say hello to Selene for <b>me</b><b>, </b>motherf*cker.”
Poor bastard choked on his blood when I buried the de into one of his lungs. I watched in silent glee as. slumped to his cut–up knees and fell face–first to the ground, taking hisst breath of life. His blood pooled around him<b>, </b>already spoiling.
And for me? I feel no regret. Blood soaked and breathing, I finally felt unstoppable. Killing Tristan was only the beginning of the hell I’ll see this pack writhe under.
“Good girl. Such a good girl.”
Darkness finally faded; light broke through the world to reveal thewn of Zircon Moon. Silence reigned. <b>supreme</b>, but I felt it. The fear. The astonishment. No one dared to utter a single word.
Slowly turning my head, I locked eyes with Jonathan and cackled like a viin. He’s heard me loud and clear
