3rd person’s POV
Dimitri growled in anger as he paced round his room in anger,
Louis was with him, trying to keep him calm,
Who would dare touch my sword let alone taking it out of my room, he lashed out.
He is not only angry about the missing sword,
he is also angry that someone in the pack could enter is room and steal from him.
Anna was shaking where she was standing,
She had been summoned immediately Dimitri noticed the sword is missing,
since she is the only servant that has access to his room.
Arrest her, he ordered.
Perhaps she would confess after she spent some days in the dungeon.
One of the guards who are frantically searching the room grabbed her immediately.
She struggled with the guard, and turned back pleading not to be taken to the dungeon.
I dare not touch your sword, perhaps you can ask the Luna, I saw her touching the sword some days ago.
Don’t know dare accuse my Luna of stealing.
The guard dragged her out of Dimitri’s room,
Go search the entire servant yard, Dimitri ordered the rest of the guards and they stopped searching his room,
You need to calm down, the sword will be found, Louis said as the guards left,
I have instruct the guards at the border and the guards on patrol to search every soul and package going out of the pack, he added.
Good, that’s good, thank you Dimitri responded with a calm voice.
Kate attention was drawn by the screams of Anna who was being dragged away by the guard.
She came out of her room and went to Dimitri’s room.
What is going on, she asked.
The Alpha’s sword is missing, Louis said.
Wh-what, she gasped.
How did that happen, she said.
Who would dare come inside the pack house to steal.
Outside the pack house,
As Anna was being dragged to the dungeon by the guard, she kept screaming and pleading to be innocent and then recounting on how she had saw the Luna some days ago helding the sword some days ago.
Then the attention of the pack members starts getting drawn.
The attention of the pack elders were also drawn.
And a meeting was called immediately.
Stealing in the pack house has never occurred.
Let alone in the Alpha’s room, Sir Lucas a respected member of the pack elders council said
It’s quite disheartening stealing in the Alpha’s room took place in our pack, Sir Leonard Sarah’s uncle who is also a member of the pack elders said,
And it’s only a matter of time before news about it start spreading to the neighbouring packs, he added.
Immediate search of every house in the house should be done, Madam Eli said
I don’t think searching everyone houses would be necessary, Sir Leonard interjected.
Why don’t we look into those who had came in contact with the sword in the last few days.
Or the people that would want to possess this sword.
Just like the servant had said, she said she had seen the Luna helding on to the sword some days ago. He continues
And the only have outsider we have who lives in the pack house is also the Luna, Sir Leonard landed.
And how dare you call my Luna an outsider, Dimitri snapped.
Well you haven’t claimed her yet neither have you introduced her as the Luna to us in the pack officially, Sir Leonard retorted.
Dimitri kept mute, he didn’t know what to say because he knew Sir Leonard was right and there is a limit to which he can give them order, even though he is the Alpha and he is feared by many,
He must respect the pack elders, if he want to be able to keep peace within the pack.
Calm down, Louis mind-linked him.
We will figure this out, let just focus on finding the sword for now, he added.
Dimitri sat down looking at all the elders silently.
Okay then, if the Luna’s room will be searched then everyone sitting on this table will have their Cabi searched as well, he said
Fine, Sir Leonard responded.
The guards are then ordered to go begin the search.
Follow those guards going to Kate’s room, I could sense something is fishy, he told Louis through mind-linking.
Alright, Louis responded.
The guards sprang into action immediately,
They stormed the pack house.
Back in Kate’s room.
She was confused, what could be going on.
Is someone trying to frame her,
Ruby had come to inform her about the rumor flying around amidst the servants and the pack members.
They were insinuating that Kate has her eyes on the Alpha’s sword that she was caught some days ago helding the sword.
Kate was confused by the news, I was only admiring the sword and I didn’t even lift it from where it was placed.
As they were discussing,
They heard footsteps climbing up the stairs and then a knock on Kate’s room door.
The door opened before Ruby could get to the door.
The guards stepped in and Louis followed them closely behind.
At the sight of the guards, Kate stood up immediately,
What is going on, Kate asked.
Louis came forward to her side,
My Luna, they are just here to search around, he said.
Am I being accused, she asked.
No no Luna, Everyone including myself is having our room checked right now, Louis said.
Okay then, no problem.
The guards begin the search.
They searched the whole room including the closet and found nothing.
Louis was relieved,
And instruct the guards to put back everything they moved back to where they were supposed to be.
As they are arranging the room
One of the two guards arranging the closet spot the sword where it was hidden.
I think I found it, he called out.
Everyone paused.
Wh-what
You found what, Kate asked
Moved closer to the closet and watch the guard draw out the sword.
This can’t be possible
How did it get there
Ruby what is going on.
Louis was standing in shock, he couldn’t say anything, he couldn’t look at Kate,
He trusted her but right now, he just doesn’t know what to think.
He mind-linked Dimitri,
There is a problem he said.
The guards then moved close to Kate to arrest her.
Wait this needs to be investigated, I don’t know how the sword gets there.
Tears rolled down her face,
She felt the whole ground shaking beneath her feet as though it’s about to open and swallow her.
Her head spinning and she feels dizzy.
Calm down, I am here with you, Lyka said comforting Kate.
We will sort this out,
Don’t let them treat you like a prisoner.
As one of the guard want to held onto her.
Don’t touch me, she snapped
I can walk, she said.
Louis signal the guards to back off.
They step aside allowing her to walk by herself.
Sarah was able to convince Seth’s wife who has personal hatred for Kate as she still believes her husband was killed because of Kate’s pack.
Together with Sarah they were able to get some pack members together.
Immediately the guards alert the other guards to stop the search that the sword has been found in the Luna’s room.
They stormed the pack house chanting in front of the pack house.
We can’t have a weak half breed omega who is also a thief as the Luna.
Kate cried profusely as she hears the chanting of the pack members.
What kind of life is this, she lamented
Will this be my end in this life again,
Why do I keep facing injustice, she continue lamenting silently.
Where do I go wrong this time around, she said.
The guards lead her to the dungeon.
In Dimitri’s room
He was sitting on his couch silently,
He didn’t know what to do,
He felt as though, they had drawn out life out of him.
The chanting from the pack members outside make him and Drey go crazy…
He knows this was someone trying to get rid of Kate, but who, and why.
He shouldn’t have agreed to Kate, when she pleaded on behalf of Anna.
He knew she has hands in this but who could have put her up to this.
Louis came into the room, to meet Dimitri who is down.
He knows exactly how he is feeling,
And he can’t watch him go through the pain of loosing his Mate again.
Just when he starts to feel alive again after his whole demise,
He can’t watch him go back to that state again.
You will to get up and let’s tackle this right now, he said.
Who doesn’t want to see me happy and pull this off,
I have put everything I have in line to ensure the safety of this pack and it’s people.
And what do I get in return, Betrayal? he lamented.
This isn’t the time to lament, Louis said.
Stand up and let get to the bottom of this, he added.
Okay, where should we start, Dimitri asked.
But first I was those people chanting dispersed right now, he said.
Louis mind-linked Melinda,
I want you to get the guards and disperse those chanting out there, he instructed.
Alright, Melinda replied.
The elders are waiting in the hall, let’s go hear what they have to say, Louis inform Dimitri.
Dimitri stood up and both him and Louis stepped out of the room and climb down the stairs then to the pack hall.
He could sense, Kate’s pain.
Drey is panting as he pace around in his head.
He wants to go crazy as usual but, he knows they have to fix this calmly.
As he took his sit,
Thanks to the Moon goddess the sword was found before being taken out of the pack, Sir Lucas begins.
That means Kate of Twilight Fang has a mission to steal the sword from the Alpha.
We need to banish her from our pack, we can’t have a thief as our Luna, He could.
Sir Leonard has manage to convince some of the pack elders to demand that Kate is banished.
Dimitri remain silent as he watch the elders discussing amidst each other,
Some agreeing to banishing Kate, while some are disagreeing.
Perhaps we could investigate this matter carefully,
Sir Gareth who knew Kate can never do such said.
And do you think that half breed will ever speak the truth, Sir Leonard said.
Well probably if she is tortured she will confess.
Drey growled as though he should pull out his head off his neck.
Thank you all your concerns have been noted, Dimitri said
I and my Beta will continue from here, he added.
And we would ensure the right punishment is served to the perpetrator, he concluded.
As he was about to stand up.
This is an pack affairs and you don’t get to side line us in the decision making, Sir Leonard.
Those who he had been able to convince also joined him.
We should banish her immediately,
She shouldn’t spend a night in our pack.
Nobody dares talk about banishing my Mate, Dimitri snapped.
Like I have said I and my Beta will get to the root of the matter and make our judgement, he said.
And I want you all to keep it in your mind, I am the Alpha here, and I make the other and if anyone dares go against my order, such person should be ready to face my punishment, he said and strode out of the hall.
In the dungeon,
Kate has cried her eyes out, and was just lying on the floor.
The Almighty Luna, is now lying helplessly in the dungeon,
A voice came from the cell beside, her cell, with in loud laughter filled with sarcasm.
I’m sure by now the Elders would have agreed to banishing you from our pack,
And guess what, the Alpha won’t be able to stop them
Kate stood up angrily as she realizes it was Anna the servant that had attacked her in Dimitri’s room.
How dare you do this, you low life servant, she growled.
We would see who is low-life between me and you, she retorted.
I will not spare you, the truth will be revealed, and I will not spare you, Kate snarled.
Let’s wait and see then, Anna responded.
