“How can she be the Alpha of two packs! It’s not fair you have to tell Dad to give me his pack!”
An nalise whines, looking at her mother. Does she know she is not Hugh’s daughter? I doubt it or she wouldn’t be so arrogant…
“Let the meeting commence.”
Someone says. I nod as silence falls in the room. There are seventeen of us in this room, as well as several guards posted at every corner of the hall and outside the doors. Yet it’s absolutely silent. “I will begin with questioning An nalise Toussaint on her apparent kidnapping and captivity several years ago. Tell me, An nalise, with every single detail that you can remember exactly what happened. From the day you were kidnapped, the time, how many people there were, the method, where you were taken. Everything.”
I say clearly. Annette looks uneasy. I’m certain she was in on it, and had both probably fed Dad a story or two… An nalise swallows, before she begins blabbering how terrified she was, how she was knocked unconscious, how she lost track of time and how she was locked in a dark place. +25 BONUS
I listen to her, not questioning her on anything. Although several of the people present asked her questions occasionally, I am waiting for her to finish. She’s a good actress, she’s in tears already, rocking in her chair and rubbing her belly. “Are you finished?”
I ask. “Y-yes…”
she says as I motion one of the guards to pass her a tissue. Once silence falls across the room, sit forward. “And in your time in confinement, they didn’t even allow you to talk to anyone?”
She shakes her head. I nod slowly. “You really are an awful mother, Annette, why did you never search for your daughter?”
They both tense before Annette sits up straight. “I thought she was just upset and needed time. Can you blame me? I never thought something like this would happen.”
She says, stroking- An nalise’s arm. “My child went through so much.”
“Hmm, indeed. So, you never tried to reach out to her or talk to her? For three years? Not hearing anything from her did not worry you?”
“I did! I left voice messages, hoping at some point she’ll answer or pick up or even reply to a text!”
Annette says. Bingo. I smile victoriously as An nalise looks at me suspiciously.
“Yet not once were you able to talk to her…”
I say calmly. Victory is mine. Annette nods and A nnalise pales as she turns to her mom, grabbing her wrist and trying to get her attention. Oh, she’s caught on… “I see, three years without being able to meet or talk to your daughter must have been hard, and then knowing what she’s been through.”
Annette nods vigorously before I pick up a file.
“Then explain to me these emails, photos, texts, and calls you two made to one another during her apparent kidnapping. I thought perhaps someone may have been replying for her. I mean to make it real, but then seeing all these proves it’s her, and did you forget about these? Luna Annette?”
I say as I pass everyone a copy. I got these thanks to Dad. He had gone through Annette’s computer and managed to find me the proof he needed. My aim is to free Dad from Annette too. “Those are fake!”
A nnalise screams “Oh? Then what of the phone calls? Thanks to you letting your mother know exactly where you were visiting, I was able to track down if you were staying in the area and you were. I’m so happy to hear you were not kidnapped. Also, I questioned Alpha Hugh, and he said he spoke to you on the phone a few times. Am I wrong?”
“That…”
An nalise looks at her Mom helplessly, almost as if for guidance. “We know he favours you!”
Annette accuses. “Does he? If records stand for anything, only recently in the last few years have we amended our relationship. However, when I asked him,
he didn’t even know that you had been kidnapped. Why would you keep such a thing from your own father? Please do enlighten me.”
“There’s… there’s no proof of that. I…”
An nalise mumbles. “I have Dad’s confirmation right here on video, however, the logical question is why would you hide your kidnapping from a powerful man who could bring your imaginary kidnappers to justice? If it was true, I mean.”
“1-“
“Because it’s a lie! It was a lie to drive Sebastian and me apart, am I wrong?”
“No, it’s just-“
“You cooked up a story and spread false claims. Not only were you the cause of my divorce, but alsothe one who put false accusations on me, correct?!”
I don’t let her speak, her face paling, but there’s also anger. “You are a liar who deserves to rot in prison and as you are still part of this pack, I will have you arrest-“
“No! No, I won’t go to prison! I did what I had to! I had to say that!”
she screams, her voice ringing in the room, and I sit back slowly. She broke as I predicted… “By who?”
I ask quietly as all colour drains from her face, realising what she has just done… but it’s too late now. +25 BONUS
ZAIA. Her face pales and her lips quiver as she stares at me, terror plastered on her face. What is she so afraid of? “I… can’t say.”
“Why not?”
I ask. Annette is frowning as she watches her daughter, but she does not look as scared but rather… confused. Does she not know? An nalise shakes her head as she drops onto her seat, her heart thumping. “I won’t. Just don’t ask me!”
“Then I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do but demand your imprisonment. With the witnesses present, who also heard your admittance. That you, A nnalise Toussaint, did in fact lie about your abduction and”- “Please stop it, Zaia! Please, we are sisters, aren’t we? I’m pregnant. How can you throw me into prison?! Please have mercy, I am carrying your nephew!”
I frown. We have never been raised as sisters…. “Who is the real father of your child, An nalise?”
I ask quietly. “We both know that it is not Sebastian. Drop the act or you will be the one suffering, regardless of who is pulling the strings from behind.”huff. “I’m waiting, An nalise,”
I say coldly. Her jaw clenches, and she looks at me, realising I am not going to budge. “Fine. Sebastian is not the father! Happy?”
The court members exchange looks, but I’m not surprised by her answer and simply look at her. “I see… Thank you for telling the truth. Now, I understand that you won’t share the ones who put you up to the kidnapping, but An nalise, remember right now, you are at my mercy. Your safety and punishment is in my hands… so the choice is yours. Will you protect those who put you up to this, or yourself and your unborn child?”
Our eyes meet and there’s anger in hers, but beyond that, I can see the fear that she’s trying so desperately to hide. When she doesn’t speak, I sigh, strumming my fingers on the arm of my chair. My patience has worn thin, and I can’t afford for her not to answer. I stand up, sighing as I walk over to where she’s sitting, motioning for Annette to move back. “Alpha Zaia, please-“.
“Stand back,”
I command, my eyes blazing. Instantly, two guards step forward and Annette obeys much quicker, stepping away and glaring at the guards. A wave of unease rushes through the room and I bend down, placing my hands on the arms of An nalise’s seat. I reach within me for the strength I know I hold. I feel my eyes blaze, knowing they are burning orange. “A nalise, as your Alpha, I command you to answer the question. Who is the father of your child?”
I ask, my voice powerful, and I feel the power simmer around me. Her eyes widen, and for a moment I see her confusion before her mouth opens. “Gaspard Durand!”
She bursts out, gasping for air, her heart pounding as she realises she just told me the truth.
My eyes widen slightly, but I mask my surprise quickly. Gaspard? “That was… a true Alpha command.”
I hear someone whisper. “I never thought it existed…”
I stand up straight, ignoring their awe. “Gaspard is a member of the Crystal Shadow Pack… you have been a part of…”
Is he involved? I look back at A nn alise, frowning deeply. “And does he know you are pregnant with his child?”
I ask. “Yes,”
she answers sullenly. “And does he know that you have been parading it around as Sebastian?”
I ask sharply.
She tenses before her head snaps up to me, and she glares at me. “Stop it! Just stop it!”
she screams, but how do I do that when she has lied? I take out my phone, texting Jai. Zaia: Gaspard Durand, the member of my security from the Crystal Shadow Pack, needs to be brought in for questioning immediately. I hit send and turn back to An n alise who looks pale. “And now, back to who put you up to lying about being kidnapped?”
“I don’t know! I just did what I had to!”
she screeches. “For who?!”
I snarl. +25 BONUS
“I can’t! It’ll kill me and my baby!”
she screams as she jumps up, gripping her stomach. “What will?”
“The magic!”
she begins sobbing, covering her face with her hands. “What lies!”
someone scoffs but I frown, something mom had said… “Magic does not exist,”
one of the court members sneers. “It does… or elements of it do…”
I say quietly. “Very well, since you cannot say, that will be enough. You have admitted to lying, causing distress and trouble. You will be punished for your crimes after your child is born… but for now you will be kept in isolation with someone to take care of you. However, I don’t trust you An nalise, and I can’t be lenient.”
I say, trying to control my anger. She is pregnant, and the baby is not at fault in this. I have pushed her enough for one day. An nalise gasps covering her mouth. “No! How can you do this? She’s pregnant! What about her baby!”
Annette shouts. “That is enough,”
I say quietly. “No! I refuse to allow you to take her!”
Annette rushes to me, grabbing my arm. “Enough Annette! I was pregnant when Sebastian and I rejected one another! No one cared for my children then! Enough is enough! If the court has no objection or questions, then we may proceed. Does anyone?”
I glance at the members, who shake their heads.message from Jai. Jai: Understood. Perfect, I will question him. I’m sure I’ll get more answers. “You may bid your mother goodbye,”
I say to An nalise, who looks panicked. “Please Zaia, don’t do this! Please!”
“It’s too late to ask for forgiveness,”
say quietly. “I will have your father free you, don’t worry.”
I hear Annette whisper as she hugs her tightly, but I don’t say anything, allowing them to have their goodbye. “Take her,”
