The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

“I Nathaniel Puche, member of the Council of Elders, and judge during this trial have come to a conclusion. Hannah Oaken, there is no doubt in regard to the heinous crimes you committed. While I have no doubt you solely wanted to target Her Royal Highness Princess Ayla Hemming. Any wolf, especially one coming 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 if 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 become 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 become a rogue meant we would take away her pup’s future. Pleading to be allowed as a Silver Moon pack member. A se rvant, 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 had committed treason. An offense punishable by death. So there was no telling what they would decide.

punishment. The Council of Elders has decided to judge in your favor. Hannah Oak former rankless of the BloodMoon Pack, I hereby declare you rogue. You have exactly two hours to pack all your belongings, by the last 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’s laws and regulations. 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
