Alpha's Regret After Her Rebirth by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0431

Noah

Noah sighed and leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking quietly under his weight as he shifted.

His green eyes scanned the cluttered desk in front of him, which was currently piled higher than ever with documents and evidence for the upcoming trials–not to mention all of the other tasks that came along with being Alpha.

Noah had no Luna. No Beta. And he had fired Leonard months ago when he tried to force Hannah to drink

Noah was basically a lone Alpha.

He hadn’t even hired a bloody assistant to answer phone calls for him yet.

And hopefully, Zoe would soon join him there. The thought of seeing her behind bars, that pretty manicure of hers ruined and mascara streaked down her face, brought a grim satisfaction to Noah’s heart.

But the road to justice wasn’t as simple as it had once been. Hannah had put it pretty well at the Full Moon Festival: “If only it were like the movies.”

Yes… If only.

Many years ago, an Alpha’s word was absolute law on their pack lands. If Noah had lived during those times, he could have thrown Zoe and Scott into a dungeon and thrown away the key without so much as

a trial if he wanted.

But times had changed, and with them, the laws that governed their world.

Now, the Alpha Council would ultimately have to decide if Zoe was guilty enough to go to prison for life. Noah could jail her temporarily, but without a proper trial, he would have to release her eventually.
