176 Ayla
As expected Griffin did not like me going to see Hannah. I was scared it would bring back unwanted
memories. He didn’t trust her either, he had no reason to. The fact that I was adamant about going
tonight did not help either, he wanted to prepare me before meeting her. I hadn’t seen her ever since I
was kidnapped, I knew she was carrying David’s pup but I had no idea how far along she was. She
might even show already. The thing is there was no time left, if the Elder Council would be here
tomorrow morning there was no telling how late they would start the trial. I would need to get some
rest, write my statement, come up with a punishment, and have breakfast with the pack all before 10
AM tomorrow.
Griffin knowing I was right agreed, and mind–linked one of the guards to bring Hannah to one of the
interrogation rooms. By the time we got there, Hannah was already waiting for us. Without her
expensive clothes and make–up, she looked different. The fact that she was indeed showing, even if it
was just a little bump did not help either. Her eyes were not filled with equal parts fear and defeat. It
had replaced the hate and arrogance her eyes had always held when she looked at me.
“You’re lucky you know” Were the first words that fell from her lips before I had truly sat down.
I was lucky, there was no use in denying that. Still, I was unsure why Hannah mentioned how lucky I
was. Especially with all that I went through because of her
“I know I am but why tell me that now?” I asked as I settled in my
chair.
“Because I did it all for him, I hated you for being his mate. But he has proven he isn’t worthy of either
of us. Yet you found your second chance mate, and it’s clear how much he loves you. Yet I rejected my
true mate, in the hopes of him eventually loving me. Now all I have is our pup as he left me behind.
Now you are here to decide what kind of punishment you are about to give me aren’t you?” She sighed
clearly defeated.
Again I had no reason to deny what she was telling me. I am not one to lie not even to her. So I agreed
explaining more of why I was here.
“Well, the Council of Elders will have the final say. Since I am your victim though they want me to
suggest a punishment. I know what you did to me, I know the moments when David had me kidnapped
when you helped me. And I want to know why you did what you did. I want to know what you were
hoping to get out of this. Of course, I have some ideas as to what drove you. But unlike you, I am not
one, to ruin someone’s lives based on what I think of them.” I couldn’t help adding in the last part.
I was not planning on screaming and shouting at her. Likewise, I was not going to be violent to her.
That didn’t mean I was not angry with her, that I did not hate her for what she had done to me and my
family.
“You know why I did it, I love David, even after everything that he did to everyone I still love him. All I
wanted to do was to make him see I was a better fit for him than you are. Even when you didn’t want
him anymore. I was never the one who wanted to mate with Griffin.” She started explaining.
Causing Griffin, to wrap his arm around me. Like he was staking his claim showing her that he had no
intention of mating with her either. I smiled up at him, I was not worried about him being attracted to
Hannah at all. I didn’t even believe her when she tried to convince me
Griffin was about to pick her as her chosen mate. Let alone now that we marked each other, were
trying to conceive and engaged to be married. Still, his reassurance was sweet.
Hannah just glared at us, angry and sad, but it didn’t bother me. She tried to ruin my life she could deal
with seeing how happy I was despite her.
“Even if you loved him, which I sorta understand. You didn’t have to go that far. Like did you never
realize he did not love you back? Was there never a moment, where you realized he wasn’t that into
you? What made him the better option than your fated mate, you know the man who died because you
rejected him” I couldn’t keep the cold judgmental tone out of my voice.
It was mind–blowing to me that she never stopped trying to win over the man who ruined everyone and
everything in his path. Even in the face of true love, with the man the Moon Goddess had created
especially for her. My question was the first time that I saw a real emotion on her face. Other than
missing David, or what I read as her emotion on her face. missing David.
“Maybe it was not just love. My parents told me that a she–wolf of my stature. My lineage should try to
grow. Get higher up, of course, they realized I was in love with David. And they supported me. They
told me that I was a better match for David. His parents did too, my Alpha and Luna. So what was I
about to do, everyone convinced me David and I would be together in the end. That pack leaders
sometimes make hard decisions because their happiness is what keeps the pack thriving. And we all
need a thriving pack.” She sighed and I was unsure if it was because she realized that what she said
was absolute bullshit.

dreams were viable and that she was entitled to see them come through.
“Baby I know enough, let’s go to bed okay?” I turned away from Hannah, and she told me enough.
