"No, this isn’t fair," Zelda mumbled, " I fought with him, trying to protect our pack." she shattered, finding nobody could hear her.
"Grayson, they are trying to frame me; you should not let that. Am I not your luna?!" She screams at him.
"As the elders said, I have tried my very best for this pack. I gave it my all; why…why in the world would I want to ruin it," She says, her voice breaking as tears flow down her eyes.
"Delilah, I am aware that there have been conflicts between us; nonetheless, we have to believe that I would not do something like this; could you please tell everyone that you asked me to go there?" She pleaded.
"Why would Luna do something like this, "An elder had asked halfway down.
"She had fooled us, pretending to be nice while hiding her true nature," another said in anger.
"How dare she mock our pack and accept a wonderful funeral," other members of the pack began to murmur.
"Alpha," the wolf who had brought the false claim called out. "From the conversation I heard, she had done it out of jealousy," he went on.
"She wanted Delilah out of the way; she was not happy about her getting close to you," He reported.
With this, she watches Delilah's face turn pale. "I guess the explanation we gave her was not ok," Grayson let out.
" But I did apologize, despite her threatening me to avoid you," Delilah said.
"Alpha, what is going on?" the elders asked.
"My Luna had been uncomfortable with me getting help from Delilah. She frowns when Delilah offers a helping hand. Like this morning, she had woken up late and was late in preparing breakfast; seeing how tired she was, Delilah had made cake in her stead,".
"It was awful; I tried more to convince her that she would only be my Luna," he explains, earning sympathy from everyone.
Zelda stood there, shocked at the change of information. Why was he lying? Why did he twist things? Why is Delilah not defending her?
"Look, Delilah, I know we have issues, but it's not enough for me to murder you. Come on, Delilah; we have been close since day one; you were more like a sister; why would I want to murder you, "She says, crying.
"Grayson, why are you not defending me? You said you love me, but you let them slander my name; how could you," She cried, hitting his body, but her hands kept passing through. "
"Zelda is not fit to be called our Luna, she is not fit to be given the honor of a Luna, she jeopardizes her pack for mere jealousy, she should be stripped of her title as the Luna, "An elder spoke out with the whole pack chanting in agreement to his words.
"Quiet, " Grayson said, slowly walking to the casket Zelda was in."I love you, my love; you were my first in everything; you were brave, you were beautiful, and you are the only one who made this strong alpha weak, "he says, as tears flow down his eyes.
"And I am sorry I failed my role as your husband; I should have made you less insecure, I should have been more transparent with you, I should never have to scold you for being jealous but work on it. "
"But my love, you did wrong, and I should not let it pass, "He went on, cleaning his eyes which had now turned red.
"Here is my judgment to you, you shall no longer be called Luna, however, due to the other sacrifice that you had made, especially in securing my rightful place as Alpha, you will be buried in the royal tomb, but your grave shall be unknown,"
"No one will mourn her death except her, " He says, watching his pack become overjoyed.
"Grayson, are you okay, "Delilah called, catching him before he fell." I am okay," he assured.
"I will go to rest now, "He announces, leaving them. Zelda felt irritated by this; she looked at everyone, feeling betrayed by what had been done to her.
She had helped everyone standing here, yet they had done this to her. Impossible, she was going to prove to them that she was innocent.
She was so determined that she hurried out the door. If the evidence in the dungeon pointed against her, perhaps the site of her death would provide evidence of her innocence.
She was surprised to see the place. Her effort here proved useless as the only thing there was blood and fur.
The scent of the rogue wolf was gone, it was only her scent, and this left her puzzles.
"How could our Luna do this, "A man said, passing her way. She could tell the men were already returning from the meeting.
"She was so nice to me, she helped me move on after my parents died, so what went wrong," he complained further.
"Jealousy changes a woman, and not all times it goes positively, " another says.
Being not heard and seen annoyed her, and screaming, she ran away from them, going anywhere her feet took her.
"I know my lady; she would not do such a thing; she wouldn't let mere jealousy get to her head. Have you forgotten how she helped you all?" Lisa questioned, crying.
"My lady didn't wake up late; she was in the kitchen preparing Alpha's favorite cake," She defended.
"Are you now saying the Alpha is lying? " another maid questioned her.
"I'm just saying that if Luna wants to end Delilah, it won't be out of jealousy; maybe she saw something we missed," Lisa rephrased.
Zelda smiled at Lisa; at least she found someone on her side. As much as she wanted to follow Lisa, she also felt like staying in the palace.
She decided to check on Grayson, going straight to their room. She was surprised to find Delilah sneaking into the room and shutting the door.
Delilah slammed the door and murmured, "Hey, love." It's not in anyone's best interest for you to commit yourself out of shame, yet they care about you very much. While pulling off her jacket and whispering seductively, she.
"And you, what do you think," he whispered.
"I'm the one in your heart, so why would you be concerned, " she says, sitting on his lap while facing him.
"I do not cause misery but desire, " she says, kissing him. He returns the kiss, pulling her close to him.
"My precious desire, "He mumbles, letting her push him to the bed while his hand works his way to her body.
"Did she make you feel this way, "Delilah mumbles while taking off her dress, revealing her body. She had made sure that she was not wearing another layer of dress inside.
"No one made me feel this way of love, only you, " He whispered in her ear while one hand played with her body. Kissing her from the ears and only stopping at her neck.
”She saw my face that day.” He places his mouth, sucking it and using his tongue to tease her sensitive points, causing her to let out a soft moan.
Using one hand to block her mouth, he proceeded to the other, teasing her more.
"It’s okay; she was already dead now; you don’t need to worry about it anymore.” She grumbles, “And our plans are successful; no one will believe her even if she is alive now.”
"Yes, it’s all thanks to your smartness," he says softly.
“And the wolf bane you put into her food every day helps a lot, as well.” she smirks, “I never knew that a small dose of wolf bane would make people have the same symptom like angina.”
“Do you miss her?” she suddenly asked jealously.
"You know I only used her to get rid of my brother; she was foolish, always wanting attention, and forcing herself into places she did not belong to, "
"But you, my love, are sneaky, sexy, and beautiful. Soon I would not have to make excuses just to see your lovely body. Soon I would not hide my affection for you. Soon, your scream will fill the palace. Soon, you will carry my cubs," he confesses.
She smirks, her hand trailing to his trouser, gently removing his hardened part." Daddy deserves praise for this, " she whispers, using her hands to massage him.
"And he will get it the best way I can, " she went on, putting it in her mouth. He moans as she sucks it; placing his hand on her hair, he guides her, teasing her by going too deep.
"Bad boy," She says, smacking him after she had sucked it. "How do you like mine" He asked, but she pretended to leave and let him warm his hands around her waist.
"Oh, my love, "He mumbles, "take a little joke, " he says, pushing her down.
Zelda could not believe what she was watching. And didn’t want to believe what she heard.
Plans? Wolf bane? Foolish? Fated mate?! All the words mixed in Zelda’s mind, and she didn’t even know how to react.
At first, she thought, "so the figure she saw that day was truly Grayson," then she wanted to laugh because she had been a fool, fooled by her Alpha and best friends from the start, and then she yelled out.
“How could you do that to me?! I gave my heart to you, and you just stepped it under your feet?” She yelled. “Why didn’t you tell me you are fated mate, at first? Why didn’t you reject me at first?!”
“You used me, tricked me, murdered me, and now saying I am foolish? How can you do that?!” she wanted to throw out but found again that she was dead; dead people can’t vomit.
She tried opening the door insanely to show the people outside, but her hand kept sliding off the doorknob.
With her eyes turning red in anger, she stood in front of them."I swear to God, I will have my revenge; I will end you all, " she screamed.
Grayson paused; he turned around before stopping in her direction. His face turned pale as she made eye contact with him.
"Can he see me?" Zelda murmured,” that’s nice; I will end him now!”
