Chapter 68
FREDA WHITLOCK
My eyes were fixed on Kaiden. He looked like he was in as fix, a very tight one. The regret on his
face and the way he clenched his jaw told me that he did not want to do this, that he did not want to
make me apologize in front of everyone.
I pressed my lips together as I felt coldness, pain and anger fill my blood. I knew he was going to
have to make me do it. He did not care about me enough to give up his Alpha title. He was going to
have to give it up if he did not make me apologize to Safiya.
He clenched his teeth together harder and an impassive, unreadable expression filled his eyes
before his expression. wentpletely nk.
“Freda Whitlock, you are to kneel and apologize to the Luna now,” he said, looking me straight in
my eyes.
I clenched my teeth together and blinked rapidly, hating the fact that disappointment rushed through
my blood despite the fact that I had been expecting him to make me apologize.
He blinked and I saw the regret sh in his eyes despite the hard front he was trying so hard to put
up in front of everyone.
I took a deep breath. All eyes in the room were in me now. They were looking at me expectantly,
probably expecting that I would hesitate orpletely refuse to do it.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I lowered myself to my knees. This was so wrong and it hurt so
much. I should not havee back here. I was not supposed to havee back to the cursed,
hateful ce. Francisco was not supposed to see this. He was not supposed to witness us being
punished for
something he had not done. He was not supposed to encounter any unfairness.
I had failed. I had failed woefully to protect him as his mother and it pained me soo much.
I managed to blink back the tears and looked back up at Kaiden, Safiya and the members of the
council. Safiya had a big smirk. on her face and hatred sizzled through me like boiling oil. I had tried
not to hate her. I had tried to keep us together, to keep away from arguments with her and she
would always find the littlest means to get me in trouble.
Embarrassment, anger, pain and sadness burnt mercilessly through my chest and my hatred for the
world and the way it was treating me unfairly grew exponentially.
“I am sorry for my son’s misconduct, Luna.” I said much to the displeasure of my wolf. She was the
Luna. That did not really matter now, but it annoyed her that I, the Luna, had to apologize to
someone who was not the Luna while calling her the Luna.
After I said the words, wanting this to be over as quickly as possible so I could take my son and
leave, I hurried to my feet with my eyes locked in Safiya’s. I hated her. The goddess knew I hated
her to the very core of my soul. Not only did she hate me, she hated my son. And that was
something I could never forgive.
I grasped Francisco’s hand in mine and looked down at him.

Tears are running down his face and it broke my heart. “It’s okay, baby,” I whispered, leaving down
to kiss his cheek and wipe his eyes. “I love you. Let’s go,” I whispered again and he sniffled tearfully
before nodding
It broke my heart that he was involved in this and I was the reason he was in the pack in the first
ce.
I walked towards the entrance, moving at Francisco’s pace. He was mostly recovered, but I did not
want to cause him any pain in the ces he was still healing.
“You and your son needs to stay away from my husband. Stoping between us,” I heard Safiya
speak from behind me and I froze. I knew I should not have, but my wolf and I were filled with so
much fury at the same time that we had to stop. I was angry that she had the guts to assume I was
the one going after Kaiden. I wanted nothing to do with him. He was the oneing after my son
and I!
My wolf was angry at the fact that she wasying ims to her mate as her husband. The pressure
from my wolf releasing her anger burst from me in the form of an aura and it seemed to reach
everyone in the room.
I turned around to look at Safiya. The smile I had heard in her voice was no longer there but she
was ring at me. The other people in the room, including Kaiden seemed to be stunned by the
anger of my wolf, Gia. I was sure that my eyes werepletely golden now and the members of
the werewolf council seems intimidated.
I chuckled before I allowed my wolf to speak. “I hate to remind you, but you seem to have forgotten
that Kaiden was mine first. I am his mate, the one chosen by the moon goddess. He has

always been mine. He is still mine now and that is why he ising after me,” I said through gritted
teeth.
Her lips pressed together tightly as anger filled her facial features. Kaiden and the members of the
werewolf council seemed ufortable at the words I had spoken but none of them dared to
mention anything about punishment, not when I was in this state.
“If you can not handle this truth, Safiya, then I am not surprised. You have always been vain and
foolish. But if you offend me again, you will have to face my anger.” I said in the most calmly lethal
tone I had ever spoken.
Embarrassment and pure fury were etched on her face but she did not say a word.
Seemed like she did have a bit of sense, because if she had said. something that offended Gia, I
was not going to hold her back from attacking her.
I let out a small breath, picked up Francisco’s hand and headed out of the meeting room with a
small smile on my face. Despite the pain and anger I was still feeling, it was good to let some of
it out.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
