Chained By The Alpha Jessica Hall

Dane, however, 1s pale as a ghost and appears to be in shock as he peers at his wife holding their son. Silence falls as everyone looks at Dane, who seems to gather some of his wits as he staggers forward

"You just killed a council member's son," he bellows. He looks to the officers, who seem unsure of what they've just witnessed. Everyone was 1n shock that Zayn had just killed someone on a live broadcast

Greyson steps forward, his authority 1s undeniable as everyone turns to look at him

"Officers, stand down. You are witnessing the righting of wrongs."

The tension in the room is palpable as Zayn takes center stage, an air of finality surrounding him. Vance moves toward him, passing him a stack of Documents. His eyes scan the crowd with fierce determination. The murmurs die down as he begins to speak, his voice echoing through the hushed tent

"Today, we expose truths long buried," Zayn declares, his gaze settling on Alpha Dane, who shifts uncomfortably under the scrutiny. Zayn turns slightly, acknowledging Alpha Greyson, who steps forward and holds a weathered document high for all to see

"This," Greyson announces, "is a declaration from Clara herself, entrusting her pack to her daughter, Cleo, upon her coming of age," he tells them before turning to me. "This pack was always meant to be yours, Cleo. It was never your father's, he stole it." His eyes meet mine

The revelation sends a murmur through the crowd, eyes wide with shock. Zayn doesn't let a pause happen, instead he steps forward, his momentum building as he unveils more

"We have undeniable evidence of the coercion Clara faced. This video footage shows Joseph forcing Clara's hand to sign over her pack." he tosses it to one of the anchormen

"But there's more," Zayn says, his voice hardening. "Alpha Samuel, here's where you come into play." He turns to Samuel, who looks increasingly uncomfortable. "Documents and transfers to hidden accounts, evidence of council vote tampering all linking back to you, with the help of Alpha Dane."

Samuel's face, once filled with confidence and smugness, drains of color. His eyes widen in shock, and his mouth hangs open in disbelief

Whispers ripple through the crowd, the pieces of the puzzle falling into place for everyone present

"And now, to the most damning piece of all." Zayn's eyes find my father, a mix of pity and anger in his gaze. "Joseph did more than betray his wife; he planned her murder when he learned she had reinstated the pack under Cleo's name," he says, and Zayn's eyes dart to meContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

No.... This isn't happening. My heart clenches in disbelief, desperately hoping this nightmare isn't real

A chorus of gasps and hushed whispers fills the space, amplifying the tension that crackles between Zayn and my father. In a surge of raw emotion, my father rises, his face contorted by a fiery mix of fury and desperation. His voice reverberates with anguish as he vehemently denies the accusations

The room erupts in gasps and murmurs. My father stands up, fury contorting his features

"Why would I kill Clara? I loved her!" he

shouts, desperation tingeing his voice

"Love?" Zayn scoffs, pulling out another document. Zayn's tone turns icy as he presents damning evidence, each word dripping with incredulity and scorn. "Is that why you called Samuel the day before she was killed, asking if he knew any rogues who could handle a problem? Or why you transferred the money to him the same day? All council calls are recorded, Joseph. You tried to delete them but couldn't access the backup drive."

"Horse shit, where's your proof?" my father exclaims

"Right here," comes one of the rogues, stepping forward. One of my mother's old pack members

"You kicked us out when we confronted you about it." the woman says

"You're a rogue. What good is your word? You'd say anything for a chance to join the packs!" my father roars. Samuel laughs, drawing everyone's attention. He shakes his head

"I can't believe this shit, and I can't believe you are actually trying to talk your way out of this," Samuel comments before standing

"Fine fuck it. If] am going down, I am taking him with me. I wouldn't even be in this mess if it weren't for you asking me to get them rogues for you." he snarls at my father, and everyone's collective gasp is audible, people staring at my father as they step away from him, showing their distaste
