The Alyahas delivered justice for my attack of another pack member.
The whole pack has pathered to watch, my mother’s eyes weeping tears, for me, my father’s brad Fung in shane. I try looking at my mate, but he jeni holds ma competition in his arms, rubbing him back ins comfort, her face still bruised and swollen from the beating I gave her. Star’s lucky somente polled me off on else I think Trould have ruled let life with my leap into inuidity.
The Alpha, my mate’s father, is looking around to all the parkmembers while the whip hangs lightly in his hand, as if it doesn’t hold a bony weight. The Fabric of my shirt is cut down the back, exposing skin that is about to be scared with the cruel touch of the last.
“I called you all here today toe winness Hea’s punishment, Shelus cked another member of this park without provocation.” 11’s speading the truth for the wind to bring to the wars of all those listening, I did attack her, an escalation of words turning into violence between two females wanting the
Except I am his mate, and she is his everything.
I went to him as soon as I shifted, knowing who he was to me. She was thirre, she has always been there since they could walk. He must have known I was his even before I shifted, yet he continued on with her. I begged him, pleaded with him to just give me a chance, making a scene for all to witness. He told me to go, levwce. That she might not be his true mate, but she is the ime be wants, regardless of what the moon thinks.
She stood there, not saying anything, as I made a tool out of myself, her perfect face staying stake the entire time as he dealt with me, a crazy she wolf Tighting for what she thought was hers
In a moment et absolute rage, I took that step into insanity, with the intent to kill her, my woll wanting to eliminate the competition. And I, I decided to embrace the darkness my nature provided. He stopped me. He protected his chosen female from his mate’s wrath.
The first stroke of the whip tastes my back, greedily devouring my prastine flesh. I don’t look away from my mate, his hand crushing hers. I notice how white her fingertips look as they are deprived of blood. I try to be brave, griting my jaw against the pain. The next stroke takes me off–guard, and I cry out in agony. A young juvenile female is no match against the justice the whip provides, Even full–grown males beg and plead for mercy given enough
hits from the lahi.
Embedding its lethal kiss into by son, I will always wear my shame for others to see. Another sickening crack screams through the air, cutting another furrowed groove deep into the skin. Blood splatters on the ground, tonning a carpet of red.
I can no longer keep his eyes; my head bows, salt tears trail off checks, falling to the ground, mixing with my blood. It’s as if I’m the other jealous female, and she’s his true mate. That’s how I am being treated like: the psycho crazy female.
Black shoes come into my line of sight. “Rya, you know why I’m doing this?”
ing my head yes to the Alphad respond quietly, “I understand.” “What do you understand, Rya?”
I’m crying now with what I love to say. “Itried to kill another packt member.”
“That’s right. You can’t go around trying to kill another female because your mate does not want you.” My head hangs even lower, my body shaking from my sobs.
“You have to respect choice, Rya, he doesn’t choose you. He chooses her. You need to p respect this and accept this.” His voice is very stern, authority ringing out for everyone to hear
“Do you understand this, Rya, that he doesn’t want you?”
My shoulders are shaking with the inath I am bearing “Yes, I understand.”
“You’re to leave them alone, you cannot speak to them unless spoken to, and you cannot follow him around anymore no contact. Do you understand?
Ido.”
“You have three more lashes. From now on, you are to eat last. You will be at the back of the pack until I tell you otherwise. Do you understand?” The Alpha souds pained to say this, but it is the usual punishment that is doled out for misbehaving she wolves who can’t get over their lovers. Except: unsilly, these she wolves are replaced by mates, not mates who are rejected.
“Lunderstand “I grip my hands together, and he makes the whip sing through the air, raining down hard and fast, robbing me of breath. The second strike has sounded, and I scream between gritted teeth. The final strike of the silver lashis meant to be remembered. It drops me to my knives in front of my pack, my parents, and him—my mate. The pain is so great, yet it doesn’t compare to the way my heart has just been tom away. The bealer is there | Instantly, taking the binding from my wrists. Leolding up, I see Clayton kissing Kennedy’s forehead, turning their backs on me, walking away hand in
