Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0242

Kaia POV

I didn't want to hand Alpha Marc over to the council, I didn't trust them enough to believe that their intentions were honourable, but Hector said it was the best option going forward.

I only agreed to it as long as I sat in the back of the van that transported our prisoner from the Nightshade Reformed back to the Council offices in the City next to the Dark Phantom pack.

For most part of the journey he was unconscious, my head doctor administering him a sedative that would ware off just before we reached the council building.

As Alpha Marc's eyes opened to find both Hector and I staring at him, his reaction wasn't what I thought it would be. I think he thought he would have been dead by now. Maybe that would have been the best option... "Where are you taking me?" He slurs as the sedative remains within his system.

"To your council hearing, they will decide your fate..." I grumble from my seat.

"You aren't going to kill me?" His eyes move around the van, most likely trying to find a way out. There isn't a chance in hell that either Hector or me would let him escape, plus the sedative was also for the main reason.

"No, I believe in justice...unlike you it seems. But, you will tell them the truth, you will tell them what you know of the White Moon pack and how Alpha Clay has assisted you..." I let my aura roll off me, let it suffocate the air around him.

"You have no proof of that!" He grunts, as his upper lip sneers at me. Hector makes a move towards Marc, getting into his space threateningly. Just a little reminder of who holds the power now.

"Not yet, but we can attain it. You will tell them that Clay is corrupt and I will let you live." I offer out, my hands clapping together with this option for him.

"You, you will let me live?" His tone is sarcastic.

"I will let you go into exile, as long as I never see you again. As long as you stay out of our way, I will let you live."

As we reach the council building, the armed council soldiers take Marc away, handcuffing him and taking him through the same lift I was only in a few days ago.

As we enter that same board room, the same faces look up at me as I enter. However this time, I was a spectator, not on trial.
