The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

Chapter 181

Chapter 181

Yesterday, lunch went by without a hitch. The entire pack was invited as always. Only the high-ranking

wolves have an obligation to go. Even with them, we cannot force them. Cynthia not coming to lunch

was odd for her. The people who knew her would know something was off. The Elders of the Council

did not notice her absence. I did and to me, it was a reassurance. Behaving like the prim and proper

Princess was easier to do without having to worry about what Cynthia would do.

After what I thought was a successful lunch, we followed Griffin’s plan. All in all, it was the perfect day. I

took my mind off the burden of needing to go to trial the next day. Now however I woke us to Griffin

getting out of bed to make us our coffee. For a few seconds, I lay back enjoying the view of Griffin

walking off in his boxer shorts until it dawned on me what the reason was he got out of bed this early.

Because it wasn’t so that we could go to work in time. It wasn’t’ t because we had fun plans we needed

to be on time for. It was because an hour from now, I would have to relive the worst period of my life.

On trial for everyone and their mother to see. All so that in the end I could request punishment. So that

the Council of Elders could decide if what I wanted was a fair request. I would be judged if my suffering

had been enough to warrant whatever punishment I would request.

I hate all of it, I understand it is necessary. And that I cannot be the person to decide on Hannah’s

punishment myself. Nor could the people around me who loved me. Their love for me would cloud their

judgment. The only thing that I hated was the fact that my story would be on display for all to see.

When I walked into the meeting room where the trial would be held. Dressed to feel good. Dressed in

clothes I normally wouldn’t wear but clothes that showed my rank. That made me look professional and

powerful. It almost was like an armor for me, and I knew I needed it. My eyes roamed around the room.

Most of the people I saw were the people I figured would be there, Isabella and Rodrick, Daniel and

Kirsten, Griff, my parents, and of course the Elders. Dillion, Jessa, and some of the others were not in

the stands but closer to the desk that would serve as the stands. They would be called on as

witnesses. Some random pack members showed up. I appreciated what they did because it was

because they supported me. The only one I was truly surprised to see, was Cynthia it was hard to

believe that she was here because she wanted to support me.

She has done nothing but cause me trouble, she was hellbent on not accepting me as Griffin’s mate

and all that came with that. After hearing Hannah tell me why she did all that she has done. Not just the

kidnapping, but everything she did before that too. It was for the exact same reasons as Cynthia did

what she was doing now. Causing all that trouble, it made me wonder if Cynthia would one day

escalate like that too.

Until I realized that they might have had the same reasoning behind what they were doing. All the rest

was completely different. Her father had told her how disappointed he was in her more than once. He

has apologized to us and disciplined her several times. Hannah’s parents had fed her obsessiveness

because, to them, it was warranted. David did not try to stop Hannah’s behavior for a little while he did.

Back when he figured I might be his mate. When he figured I might change and become his obedient

mate. He never fully stopped because it stroked his ego and when it became clear he and I would

never be mates he stopped defending me at all.

Griffin was different, he protected me even before he was sure I would accept him as my mate. I would

never want to leave him, but still, I

know he would never stop protecting me even if I did. Because that is how he was, and that is why

Cynthia would never get as bad as Hannah. And that is why I despite everything pity Hannah.

“All may be seated” The Elder who would lead the trial was strict.

Everyone rushed to their seat, not wanting to annoy her. First order of business as King Roderick was

the one who needed to give an official statement as to why we wanted Hannah to be punished. What

we accused her of and in her case why we had only arrested her. He winked at me as if he wanted to

reassure me and then he began his opening statement.

“The she-wolf we want punished has committed numerous crimes not just against me or my family. But

against the entire country on top of aiding several other heinous crimes. Like the murder of Alpha Philip

Birch and Luna Isabella Birch and their underage daughter.”
