The Luna Trials by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 58 

**What do you mean they alcung lo dictionner leihenhest bider?!” Savannah was trying to el air inside of her lungs in sharp angry guips. This was outrageous! After rything she had been though this seemed to knock the ground from under her leet nou Petra… She wasn’t cut out forble among bras. Hell, she’d barely managed herself among wolves! 

“Apparently, several of the high nking wanors were si intabualed with Pera when they brought her here that they all asked theit King to give her to them. A few Alphawre also present and they look an interest in her as well. And now everyone wants her.” Chloc internet her profesjonally as if she was still in lont olcanici.is, They wanted to light each other, but. Bjorn couldn’t have this, of COUN, yo he told them to make their offers, he would make a la decision.” 

i me guck” Saww frated out, “and absolutely none of them wanted to ask what Petra wants!” 

“She was sobbing hysterically at this point, wiping away her tears with her tulle dress, so yeah, they didn’t bother,” Chloe affirmed,” They are rough men here. I think seeing this tiny little lower trembling before them was appealing to them. She bears are either feisty warriors or take the roughness quietly. It is a novelty in this place.” 

She is not a toy, though!” S.v.innal practically exploded bul bit her tongue in time. She couldn’t allow herself to make a scene. Not before her plan formed. Not before she knew what to do next. “We need to get her out,” she said in a much quicter tone. 

“Iamallaan” Chloc closed the distance between them. This is exactly what I am here for. Tell me what to do.” 

The weight of responsibility was heavy. Savvy was a mess, having people count on her now was complicating things. However, she know one thing. She couldn’t leave them. She couldn’t leave Petra and Aspen. The thought of Gamma’s destiny made her shiver. 

“What do you know about Aspen7” she asked Chloe. 

“He is chained to the wall in front of the main entrance in the courtyard. They want to show him off. Anyone who passes by can hit him or do whatever they want to him. The only thing prohibited is anything that can kill him,” the blonde lowered her eyes. “They want people to see the Gamma defeated. However, the show is only for the bears. They prohibited us from broadcasting about what is being done to him.” 

“And what can you broadcast exactly?” Savvy pierced the reporter with her gaze, but the latter stayed quiet and swallowed, het fingers fidgeting over the embellishment on her dress. 

Impatient, Savannah charged for the door, jerking the door open, scaring the maid behind it. “Give me your phone!” she demanded. “L… I can’t!” The girl protested. 

“Give it to me, or I swear, I am going to kill you on the spot.” Savvy made sure her eyes gleamed gold, showing off her lycan power, and then added an Alpha tone to her voice to amplify the effect. “Give it to me now!” 

The maid trembled and got an old phone out of the pocket of her knitted jumper. She probably already hated Savannah more than Bjorn, but the Western Princess wasn’t here to make friends. In fact, she couldn’t care less. She went back to Chloe, opening up the most famous news website in the North. 

Her heart dropped when she saw the headlines. “The New Times, The New King?”, “Long Live Darius Bjom”, “Love Conquers All”. Angry tears burned her eyes. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. 

*1 arti sorry,” Chloe sounded sincere. “He prepared himself very well, and we didn’t have much choice.” 

Savvy ignored her. Whether she had a choice or not was questionable. She couldn’t move because she saw a picture of hersell on Bjorn’s back, it was one of the things that was now etched into her memory, one of the worst moments of her life. And it was front page 

The photo was taken in a way that no one could see the chains on her hands. The blue cape and her hair Iluttered in the wind, and Bjorn’s
