Chapter 158


    158 A


    I was at a loss for words at Isabe’s kind gesture, there was no way I would say no to this. Not just


    because it is a tradition I would love to share with my daughter if I will be blessed with one. But


    because Isabe feels like a second mother to me. Not just my mother-inw. And as excited as I


    am to start my future with Griffin here. As much as I enjoy living here and getting to know the pack.


    It feels good to still have a bit of family here. So with Daniel living here, and Griffin’s family, I feel


    more at home than I thought I would.


    Funny how when Dillion asked me the first time I met him if I would be willing to leave my pack.


    Leave my family and go and live in another pack. I gave him the most nomittal answers.


    Because A I was so sure I would never be chosen by Griffin and, B had not felt like a part of the


    pack for so long. Now his pack feels like my pack, even without the transition being finalized. And


    the family of the Crown Prince I was so set to avoid feels like family, too.


    That’s why I did not hesitate when Rodrick showed up at our doorstep. I had a responsibility


    towards my new family and my pack. What I told Griffin was the truth, I was finally convinced him


    and I would have a whole lifetime of making memories ahead of us. And I was sure Isabe’s kind


    and thoughtful gift was not the reason they needed to speak with us.


    After hugging Isabe, I sat down and passed around the food I brought with me, Looking at


    Rodrick, waiting for him to tell is the bad


    news.


    “The Elder council has decided not to wait until we find David. They want to put Hannah on trial in


    two weeks” Rodrick got the hint and

    immediately exined why we were gathered there.


    It didn’t register with me why this would be bad news at first. Or why it meant Griffin and I had to


    interrupt our date to discuss this. Slowly, like I tried to block it out but lost against my own mind, theTêxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    realization dawned on me. Going to trial means there would be a court, I would have to testify. Tell


    the city of Elder Wolves and everyone remotely interested in what happened to my experiences


    during that horrible time in my life. A time in my life that caused me to visit a therapist almost every


    weekday because of how much it had hurt me. How much it still hurts me.


    I would have to talk about how badly this whole ordeal influenced my life. All while showing the


    people I still was the strong and kind Princess. In most cases, the victims are asked for an idea


    about the punishment too. As the Princess and future Queen, what I say will be scrutinized. No


    matter what they did to me as the future ruler of the entire nation, I would need to make sure to be


    just in whatever punishment I requested. Even if there was no guarantee that the Elder Council


    would agree with what I asked for.


    Nation,


    “Are you sure you can handle that, Darling, is there anything, anything at all we can help you with?”


    I had drowned out the other’s talking as I wasing to terms with what this news meant for me.


    But Griffin’s worried voice pulled me back to the conversation.


    He was sweet to want to help me, but there was not much he could do. Nothing other than be there


    for me and to just be himself. So that is what I told him. Rodrick and Isabe told me they would be


    there for me with whatever I needed. Suggesting that I should invite my family over to give me even


    more moral support.


    “Well A was still a member of the White Oak pack when she was kidnapped, so Alpha Cedric is


    going to need to be here for the trial

    regardless” Griffin mushed.


    And he was right at the time I was a wolf kidnapped from his pack property. A wolf under his


    protection, so in kidnapping me, David and his helpers hadmitted an act of war against the


    White Oak pack and the Silver Moon pack in one big swoop.


    “That is another topic we need to address, A, you are still not officially a member of the pack.


    Most wolves in our pack are understanding, of what you have been through and the effect it has on


    you. But as you know, some pack members are not as open to having you as Griffin’s mate. More


    so out of personal reasons than because of you. The thing is, with you seemingly notmitting to


    each other, they had grounds to spread rumors. You and Griffin being marked will help with the


    rumors a bit but…” Isabe sighed like she was unsure of how to go on.


    When the four of us knew exactly what she was hinting at. If I was to make sure that the pack would


    love and ept me as their own. I needed to be epted into the pack sooner rather thanter.


    Which didn’t bother me at all, it made perfect sense and I was ready to fully be a member of


    the Silver Moon pack. There had been only one thing stopping me, and that was wanting to


    complete the mating process with Griffin first.


    Now that had finallye through I was ready to be an official member of the pack where I


    found my happiness again and the pack where I had been living for weeks now.


    “So you are saying we need to n an extra event, so I can cut my bond with the White Oak pack


    to form one with the Silver Moon pack?” I asked, just to be sure that was what Isabe had been so


    worried about.


    “You do, and I do not want to rush you but sadly I think there is a bit of rush” She answered me


    without any hesitation.

    I smiled because if this was thest thing we needed to discuss, Griffin and I would still have some


    time to go out and eat some more. Maybe it would be ate dinner since I still wanted to try to shift


    too. Regardless of how we would n the rest of the night though this wouldn’t take much longer.


    “I don’t mind the rush, I needed to heal a bit more but we can start nning something and sending


    out invites this Monday if that works for you?” My answer surprised both Rodrick and Isabe.


    Griffin just smiled at me, which made sense. I was undoubtedly close to his parents. But no one


    would ever get me the way Griffin did. He must have known or felt I was ready to permanently


    be a part of his pack. Or he was just smiling because he could sense me wrapping this up


    because we had other things to do.


    “Then do not let me stop you kids from celebrating,” Isabe said with a bright smile on her face.


    She didn’t have to say it we all knew she was happy I was going to officially be a part of her pack. I


    just hope she knows how happy I am about it too. And more importantly, I hope the other pack


    members do


    too.
