“I am not playing.” I answer the unspoken question that I know is on her mind.
She glances down the stairs, almost as if she wants to scream for help, but I can
already hear the sound of backup approaching.
“Gaultier, is he your son, Agatha?” I ask, wondering if my sudden assumption might
be true. After all, the rest of us were full siblings….
Her eyes flash as she glares at me. “I did not cheat on Aran if that is what you are
trying to insinuate!” She snarls.
“So, the answer is yes. Does Aran know? Or is he part of this all? Were you disloyal to
him?”
“I did nothing but be loyal to him!” she sneers. “But I picked the wrong King…for I
knew that I would be the one blessed to birth two of the most important people for
the future of the world.”
I have not heard anywhere that she had ever been pregnant aside from with
Sebastian…
I frown. “Are you and Gerard mates?” I ask, narrowing my eyes.
“Like I said, I have been loyal,” she hisses, her gaze dipping to the gun in my hand.
I frown deeply. “But I am correct, am I not? So only true mates can birth the
members of the Triquetras… Well, that answers something.” I say coldly.
“But you have no way to prove anything, and I am still the elder Luna. I hold power here…” she says
quietly before her eyes brim with tears just as the front door is brought down and several guards rush
inside.
“She doesn’t need to prove anything when I have heard enough.”
We both turn to see Aran standing behind us. Agatha’s heart thumps as she begins
shaking; this woman was an excellent actress.
The guards come to a halt, looking at me for their next order.

“Aran, don’t believe her!” she whispers, but despite her best efforts, she’s unable to
hide the fear in her voice. “She tried to kill me!”
“And yet… she is the one who is bleeding. What is going-”
“Aran, she’s lost her mind!” she cuts him off.
“I said, what is going on?! And I want Zaia to answer that question!” His eyes blaze as
he raises his hand as several of the guards rush through the door.
“Zaia!” Jai is at the front, his heart thundering as he looks up at me.
“Stand down, Zaia, let’s talk this out,” Aran says.
“How about I show you instead?” I say as I reach into my pocket, keeping my gun pointing at Agatha as
I pull out my phone, stopping the audio and playing it from the
beginning.
I forward it to the moment we entered her private lounge, letting every single person
here hear our entire conversation, only skipping the part where she tells the reason why she was
targeting Zion. That is something everyone doesn’t need to know.
Silence falls as Agatha stares at Aran as if trying to deduce his reaction and, with
every passing minute, I can sense his anger building.
I let go of Agatha moving back as I clutch at my waist. I’m bleeding, but it would be
far worse if the bullet wasn’t still lodged inside of me.
“Aran please, it’s not true, there’s more to it. Let me explain.”
“You have been on Sebastian’s side even after his departure! This is the final straw, I
have had enough!” His words are cold, and I just wish I could tell him that Sebastian
only did what he did to protect our daughter.
“Agatha King, on the charges of liaising with the enemy: Poisoning an unborn child,
poisoning me, so I could not conceive. Framing me for a false kidnapping by making
a fake transfer from my bank. Endangering the pack and its people by placing cameras for the enemy
and for being a traitor. You are found guilty and will be tried
and punished for every single crime you have committed.” I say, my voice strong in
the silent hall as I lean back against the rail.

Another traitor caught…
Agatha stares at me, but I have no remorse for her.
“You can’t do that…”
“Oh, I can, and I have. You will never be free. Not for what you have done.” I reply
coldly.
“Aran! No! Tell her. You know me!”
“The Alpha has spoken. It is up to her, Agatha… but I wish I knew why. Did I ever really know the real
you? Seems not.” Aran says. I see the pain in his eyes before he
turns his back on us.
“Take her away, Jai, and make sure she is given more wolfsbane just in case she
tries to mind link.”
“You got it Alpha, but you need to go to the hospital, alright?” he says, glancing at my hand, which is
now covered in blood.
“I’ll be fine. I’ll shift, it’ll push the bullet out and I’ll heal faster,” I say quietly. “Mr King, may I have a
word?”
Aran glances at me and nods. “I think it’s high time we have a proper talk.”
“I think so too.”
