Hannah
The crowd fell into a low murmur as | walked into the Alpha Council chambers, my all-female security team
flankingand Viona close behind.
As we made our way down the aisle, | could hear the whispers and sneers from sof the males in the
audience. Their eyes raked overand my team in the most unabashed of ways, no matter that we were in a
court of law.
“Look at that, a girl's night out,” one muttered, eliciting chuckles from his nearby companions.
Another voice carried across the room, “I wonder if she’s here to bake us all cookies.”
| gritted my teeth but held my head high, resisting the urge to say something nasty in return. Their words were
just pathetic attempts at getting a rise out ofjust to say they could, and | had more important matters to
focus on today.
After all, today was the day of my cousin’s trial before the Alpha Council.

As we approached the front of the chamber, | saw Alvin already sitting beside his lawyer, looking just as
smug as ever.
But then his eyes met mine, and | saw a flicker of something-fear-pass his face for the briefest of moments
before his arrogant mask quickly slipped back into place.
Good.
Taking a deep breath, | passed by him and stopped in the center of the room, where the Alpha Council was
seated around a semicircular panel facing the crowd.
Every Alpha on the Council was here today. All except one; Drake, of course, given his personal history with me,
was exempt from sitting on the Council today.
As | stood in front of the Council, the room seemed to go deafeningly silent. One of the Alphas at the center of
the table leaned forward, his cold gray eyes raking overas if appraising me.
“Luna Hannah,” he said, gesturing to me. “Welcome-"
“It’s Alpha Hannah now,” | corrected without missing a beat. | felt Viona stiffen beside me, a snicker rippling
across the audience.
The Alpha set his jaw, but nodded. “My apologies, Alpha Hannah. Let us continue.”
Taking a deep breath, | turned to face the rest of the Council. “Honorable members of the Alpha Council, | stand
before you today to accuse my cousin, Alvin, of intentionally poisoningin an attempt to kill the Silvermoon
heir. With your permission, | would like to call my first witness to the stand. Jen, please step
forward.”
Jen approached, looking nervous and so much smaller in her neat button-down and trousers-an outfit that I'd
had to provide for her just hours before, seeing as how she pretty much only owned enormous hoodies.
“Jen, can you please tell the Council the nof your online alias?”

She swallowed hard, big eyes darting around the Council. “WhiteRabbit,” she finally said.
I think | saw Alvin's shoulders tense.

“Thank you, Jen,” | said with a warm smile. “Now, could you please tell the Council of your history with Alvin?
Starting from the beginning.”
She nodded, her voice trembling as she spoke. “Alvin reached out toa few years back-said he had a job for
me. He providedwith diet pills and instructedto sell them to Alpha Hannah.”
Jen paused, sucking in a deep breath, then continued, “I really needed the money, so | took the job. It wasn’t
until two years later that | tested one of the pills and found contraceptives inside.” She shook her head, her pale
face somehow going even paler. “I didn’t know, at the time, why he wanted to give his cousin contraceptives. |
knew it was wrong, though; and I told him as such. But he toldto keep selling, otherwise he would report me
to the Alpha of Darkmoon.”
“And did you keep any record of your interactions with my cousin?” | prompted.
“Yes,” Jen replied, pulling out her phone. “I saved all of our text messages. | knew... | knew what we were doing
was wrong, and | wanted to have proof in case things went south.”
“Keep selling or I'll make sure you get locked up in the grimiest cell there is in Darkmoon,” she read. And that’s
assuming | don’t decide to take you as my own prisoner. | wonder which would be worse...” Jen paused, glancing
up atand then at Alvin before continuing meekly. “To becmy slave, or for a pretty little thing like you to
be thrown in a Darkmoon prison with lots of other males to fight over you.”
| suppressed a shudder at that; even the crowd murmured nervously. Turning to the Council-and ignoring my
cousin’s piercing stare-I said, “I believe the evidence my witness just presented speaks for itself, ‘Alphas.”
