“I Nathaniel Puche, member of the Council of Elders, and judge during this trial havee to a
conclusion. Hannah Oaken, there is no doubt in regard to the heinous crimes youmitted. While I
have no doubt you solely wanted to target Her Royal Highness Princess A Hemming. Any wolf,
especially oneing from an old and high–ranking bloodline such as yourself. Should be aware of the
major consequences would have not just on the Princess who has been innocent. But to her mate, the
rest of her family, and even the involved packs. You aided in crimes. that could be and are considered
an act of war. To both the White Oak and the Silver Moon pack. Committing an act of war against the
latter is seen as treason.” The elder paused taking a deep breath.
I don’t know if he was a little short of breath because of his speech or he just paused for a dramatic
effect. The Elder’s of the council are normally not one for theatrics but who knows? Maybe Elder
Nathaniel is the odd one out. The one that loved Showmanship. And if he did, and if this was a silence
just for show it had its desired effect. He had made it clear that Hannah was found guilty of all the
crimes she was indicted for. Now everyone in the meeting room was waiting with batted breath, what
the verdict was going to be.
When I requested Hannah would be a rogue some pack members had protested out loud,
screaming that she deserved a harsher punishment. Hannah on the other hand had pleaded that
forcing her to be a rogue meant we would take away her pup’s future. Pleading to be allowed as a
Silver Moon pack member. A servant, with no rights just.

work to earn a roof above her head, and being allowed to eat pack meals. As long as we would not
treat her pup any differently. The Council had mentioned how she hadmitted treason. An offense
punishable by death. So there was no telling what they would decide.
“Princess A you have suggested a punishment, and I have topliment you on the fairness of the
requested punishment. The Council of Elders has decided to judge in your favor. Hannah Oak former
rankless of the BloodMoon Pack, I hereby dere you rogue. You have exactly two hours to pack all
your belongings, by thest things you might need. At five pm exactly royal guards will escort you off
the premises so you can live out the rest of your days as a rogue with your unborn pup. Keep in mind
that this still means you need to uphold the country’sws and regtions. Such as not contacting
former Alpha David Birch and alerting the authorities if he contacts you.” The second. Elder Nathaniel
stopped talking Hannah stepped away from her desk and ran to me, falling to her knees in front of me.
In a second Griffin, Dillion, Colin, Daniel, and the guards were surrounding us ready to shift and
pounce. Even if all Hannah did was hold my ankle crying asking me to please spare her. To request at
different punishment and not ruin her pup’s life over the mistakes made by their parents. I could barely
over the growling of the others and Elder Richard asking for someone to take Hannah away and help
her get herst bearings.
Everyone had reacted to the judgment and the punishment following. All but Cynthia who had hardly
moved a muscle for the entirety of the trial. So the fact that now she was the one to get up to help
Hannah was

a little unnerving. I had to convince myself that I was paranoid. That she just didn’t hate Hannah as
much as all the others did. Because she did not want to ept me as her Princess let alone her future
Luna and Queen. There was nothing she could do anymore, it was not like Hannah would be the Silver
Moon background.

The two hours Hannah had before she was escorted off the pack ground had flown by. Milo being kind
as ever had made us a cake to celebrate Hannah getting what she hading to her. A celebration to
end at period of worry and stress and a lot of extra work and precautions. I smiled, joked, andughed
along with the rest of them. I helped Rodrick and Griffin, alerting the other packs. As did Isabe.
Nobody not even Griffin seemed to be aware of the turmoil in my mind. Not even now that we walked in
front of Hannah and the four guards that were escorting her. The only thing I didment on was the
fact that having not just one or two but four guards escorting her off the pack territory seemed a bit
excessive.
But when Rodrick had exined that even if the chance was extremely small, this could be an excuse
for David toe and visit her. To take her home to wherever home was for him now. And that the four
guards. were a simple precaution to ensure everyone’s safety. I had just nodded and agreed with them.

my brain understood that Hannah has always been and forever will be a threat to me and everyone that
I love. It even understood that to so many of my friends and family seeing her would just be a trigger.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure it wouldn’t be a trigger to me either. It was just thest words she said to me
when she clung to the seems of my pants legs.
“Please, A you can hate me I get that, but what if it was your pup? Would you not do anything to
give it the best life you can offer it?” I don’t even know if she somehow knew I had been in heat and
might very well be pregnant now.
And it didn’t matter because she was right, I would do everything I could to give my pup the best life I
could. I wanted to exin to her that. if she had not been pregnant I would have requested for her to be
executed. How I had been kind to her and her unborn child. Like she had been kind to me while I was
kidnapped. Just giving her the bare minimum so she could survive. But where she did things like that
because sometimes my basic needs aligned with her ns for herself. I made this decision purely out
of the goodness of my heart. Or that was what I told myself. Now herst desperate plea had my head
spinning Unsure if I had been selfish, making myself believe what I came up with was the kindest thing
I could do for her and her child. Or if I had just been too much of a coward to make a real decision. To
either disregard her childpletely. Or let her get away with it all because she was pregnant.
Maybe if it wasn’t for everyone being so proud of me I would have talked about what was on my mind.
Now I felt I had toe to terms with this on my own. And not bother the others with it.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
