The Prince’s Unwilling mate by Mutya

“I Nathaniel Puche, member of the Council of Elders, and judge during this trial
have come to a conclusion. Hannah Oaken, there is no doubt in regard to the
heinous crimes you committed. While I have no doubt you solely wanted to target
Her Royal Highness Princess Ayla Hemming. Any wolf, especially one coming
from an old and high- ranking bloodline such as yourself. Should be aware of the
major consequences would have not just on the Princess who has been
innocent. But to her mate, the rest of her family, and even the involved packs.
You aided in crimes that could be and are considered an act of war. To both the
White Oak and the Silver Moon pack. Committing an act of war against the latter
is seen as treason.” The elder paused taking a deep breath.
I don't know if he was a little short of breath because of his speech or if he just
paused for a dramatic effect. The Elder’s of the council are normally not one for
theatrics but who knows? Maybe Elder Nathaniel is the odd one out. The one
that loved Showmanship. And if he did, and if this was a silence just for show it
had its desired effect. He had made it clear that Hannah was found guilty of all
the crimes she was indicted for. Now everyone in the meeting room was waiting
with batted breath, what the verdict was going to be.
When I requested Hannah would become a rogue some pack members had
protested out loud, screaming that she deserved a harsher punishment. Hannah
on the other hand had pleaded that forcing her to become a rogue meant we
would take away her pup’s future. Pleading to be allowed as a Silver Moon pack
member. A se rvant, with no rights just work to earn a roof above her head, and
being allowed to eat pack meals. As long as we would not treat her pup any
differently. The Council had mentioned how she had committed treason. An
offense punishable by death. So there was no telling what they would decide.

“Princess Ayla you have suggested a punishment, and I have to compliment you
on the fairness of the requested punishment. The Council of Elders has decided
to judge in your favor. Hannah Oak former rankless of the BloodMoon Pack, I
hereby declare you rogue. You have exactly two hours to pack all your
belongings, by the last things you might need. At five pm exactly royal guards will
escort you off the premises so you can live out the rest of your days as a rogue
with your unborn pup. Keep in mind that this still means you need to uphold the
country’s laws and regulations. Such as not contacting former Alpha David Birch
and alerting the authorities if he contacts you.” The second Elder Nathaniel
stopped talking Hannah stepped away from her desk and ran to me, falling to her
knees in front of me.
In a second Griffin, Dillion, Colin, Daniel, and the guards were surrounding us
ready to shift and pounce. Even if all Hannah did was hold my ankle crying
asking me to please spare her. To request a different punishment and not ruin her
pup's life over the mistakes made by their parents. I could barely over the
growling of the others and Elder Richard asking for someone to take Hannah
away and help her get her last bearings.
Everyone had reacted to the judgment and the punishment following. All but
Cynthia who had hardly moved a muscle for the entirety of the trial. So the fact
that now she was the one to get up to help Hannah was a little unnerving. I had
to convince myself that I was paranoid. That she just didn’t hate Hannah as much
as all the others did. Because she did not want to accept me as her Princess let
alone her future Luna and Queen. There was nothing she could do anymore, it
was not like Hannah would be the Silver Moon background,
The two hours Hannah had before she was escorted off the pack ground had
flown by. Milo being kind as ever had made us a cake to celebrate Hannah
getting what she had coming to her. A celebration to end a period of worry and
stress and a lot of extra work and

precautions. I smiled, joked, and laughed along with the rest of them. I helped
Rodrick and Griffin, alerting the other packs. As did Isabella. Nobody not even
Griffin seemed to be aware of the turmoil in my mind. Not even now that we
walked in front of Hannah and the four guards that were escorting her. The only
thing I did comment on was the fact that having not just one or two but four
guards escorting her off the pack territory seemed a bit excessive.
But when Rodrick had explained that even if the chance was extremely small,
this could be an excuse for David to come and visit her. To take her home to
wherever home was for him now. And that the four guards were a simple
precaution to ensure everyone's safety. I had just nodded and agreed with them.

Telling them what was on my mind,
that I had second doubts about this

punishment wouldn't benefit anyone.
The rational part of my brain knew
that Hannah made her own bed and
should lie in it. The rational part of my
brain understood that Hannah has
always been and forever will be a
threat to me and everyone that I love.
It even understood that to so many of
my friends and family seeing her
would just be a trigger. Honestly, I

wasn't sure it wouldn't be a trigger to
me either. It was just the last words

“Please, Ayla you can hate me I get that, but what if it was your pup? Would you
not do anything to give it the best life you can offer it?” I don’t even know if she
somehow knew I had been in heat and might very well be pregnant now.

And it didn't matter because she was
right, I would do everything I could to
give my pup the best life I could. I
wanted to explain to her that if she
had not been pregnant I would have
requested for her to be executed.
How I had been kind to her and her
unborn child. Like she had been kind
to me while I was kidnapped. Just
giving her the bare minimum so she
could survive. But where she did

because sometimes my basic needs
aligned with her plans for herself. I
made this decision purely out of the
goodness of my heart. Or that was
what I told myself. Now her last
desperate plea had my head
spinning. Unsure if I had been selfish,
making myself believe what I came
up with was the kindest thing I could
do for her and her child. Or if I had
just been too much of a coward to
make a real decision. To either
disregard her child completely. Or let
her get away with it all because she
was pregnant. The content is on

Maybe if it wasn't for everyone being so proud of me I would have talked about
what was on my mind. Now I felt I had to come to terms with this on my own. And
not bother the others with it.
