Chapter 76
Do my ears mislead me? The tables have turned now I'm the one shocked with my mouth hanging.
The cheering crowd matches my aching heart.
Riley Luna? That's preposterous!
That vicious bitch! How dare she snatch my position, how dare she!
The anger shoots through me and I literally feel the heat from me.
I walk towards the stage shoving and pushing my way through the crowd till I get to where Riley is standing smiling proudly.
She spots me and her smile grows.
"You stupid butch" I vent yelling at her.
Climbing the stage thinking of a million ways to kill her.
"You're nothing but a clout chaser, how dare you try to take my position!" I yell trying to hit her but get obstructed by the guards who hold me back.
"Let me go!" I yell. "How can you appoint a new Luna, where's Jaden he will set this straight Riley I despise you so much, you have an ounce of conscience ?" I yell trying to break from the guards' grip.
Looking around I find Lord Perry sitting beside Madam Von Grey.
I'm sure they all plotted against me, smiling proudly at one another.
"Hailey please stop your drama your days of deception are over, we've all seen who you really are you can't fool this pack anymore" She replies calmly as if I am the mad person here. If you are not reading this novel on Jobni b.com, some sentences are incomplete. What the hell is she blabbering about?
"If there's anyone who that should be referred to, it is you, how can this great injustice be done so candidly and no one has a thing to say" I project to the crowd, where is their sense of right and wrong, a pack this huge should have principles.
I barely eluded fighting for my life and here they are replacing me like I meant nothing.
"Lord Perry warned us about you and we all paid deaf ears to his claim I'm glad the moon goddess bestows a second chance on her children and today we are here rectifying that mistake"
"I can't even possibly speak to a devil like you, where is Jaden? I want to see Jaden Perry!"
"Do not be deterred I am here Hailey " Jaden calls from behind Riley.
"Jaden thank goodness you're here please tell this bitch that she has no place here" I scream trying to stretch further intending to yank her head off her head but the guards hold me in place. "I'm so glad you are here. We need to set things straight once and for all" Jaden says calmly. I give a nod fully convinced he has my back.
"I can't believe I fell for your trap Hailey, I'm so happy Riley saved me from your charms" Jaden says, holding Riley smiling down at her in appreciation.
I am appalled and a bit hurt.
"Jaden what...what are you saying? Jaden, look at me, why are you saying such things" I say briefly, unable to comprehend the unexpected change, Riley must have done something to him.
"Hailey it's over I thought you had gotten to your senses and decided to flee before you were caught but looks like you have no shame whatsoever" Riley discerns.
"How ironic, a pot calling charcoal black!"
"Well then let me tell everyone present what truly you are" "What-"
"Hailey Stewarts is a witch!" Riley announces and the crowds gasp and burst into murmurs.
"She cast a spell on Jaden bewitching him to think he was her mate for her selfish reasons to escape the world of slavery and ensure she is Luna she has no shame whatsoever showing up here and acting like she is innocent" "That is a lie, Jaden is my mate you're the mistress here, stop all these false accusations please Jaden speak up" I plead, my vision blurry with tears.
"All that Riley proclaim is true this witch," Jaden says pointing at me "she tricked me into believing her lies but today that's all over"
She should be punished!
Annihilate her!
She fooled us all!
Kill her!
The crowd shouts, if the guards weren't holding onto me so tight I'm sure my legs will conk out underneath me.
Teardrops from my eyes as I try to comprehend what foul play is this, my tongue feels twisted as I am unable to speak or defend myself. Even if I could, there isn't anything I can say to make them believe me when Jaden has proclaimed with his own mouth that I am a witch. "She has fed us with lies she should be killed for this" Riley says and the crowd supports her.
"That is absurd! There's no such thing-
"Silent
you witch!" Jaden shouts severing my heart, does he truly believe I tricked him?
When I never wanted to be his mate to begin with, the mate bond is too complex to be fake.
Jaden must be drugged there's no way he could say all this in his right senses.
"Yes Hailey will be punished, Alpha Jaden Perry hereby banishes Hailey Stewarts, you're obliged to leave this pack and never return if you do you will face the consequences"
"Jaden what are you saying I know Riley did something to you please don't let her win Jaden don't do this please"
"She's trying to bewitch him once more, you should be happy Jasen showed great compassion and let you go instead of killing you, go find another pack to ruin a d feed with your lies we don't want you here" "You are the witch here Riley you are the one feeding him lies Jasen is clearly not your mate"
"Yes I agree Jaden and I aren't makee to one another but we have found love with one another" she says holding the side of Jaden's face.
Finding the strength I break free from their grip and sprint forward right as I'm about to grip Riley they hold me back once more.
"You can't do this Riley, Jaden belongs with me"
"Take her away and lock her up" Jaden orders.
"Jaden please fight for us, don't let them win, Jaden... I shout as the guards drag me into the pack house.
