Chapter 87
Auren POV
My breath hitched as the world tilted beneath my feet
Murder!
The word crashed into me, robbing me of air. My pulse thundered in my ears as I searched the faces of the wolves from the High Council. “What are you saying?” I said in a raspy voice. “I didn’t kill Sable. Instead, she attacked me.” But their faces were painted with grim certainty. It was like they had made up their mind that I was the murder.
He wanted to rip
these men to shreds.
Remus snarled, baring his fangs, warning them to not come closer. I could feel his fury inside mc.
Seeing his demeanor, the High Council wolf said, “You better come with his Auren Vaslof. If you won’t come amicably, we will be forced to use
Magic? My eyes flicked to the two women standing behind the High Council wolves at the door of the arena. They had glowing purple eyes and a mysterious aura around them. An ceric chill went down my spine. There was a sudden shift in the air and I knew that it was their magic which was trying to reach me, probe me. It serined like they were ready to subdue Remus if Lucien resisted.
Once again Remus snarled. This time Tarian came forward and stood in front of us with his arms crossed across his chest, like he would fight them if need tre
“How do you even know that Sable is dead?” he asked in a voice

The lead High Council wolf showed that he was unfazed by his words, but his fear was palpable. “Sable and four other wolves have been missing for three days. While your Alpha ordered to launch a manhunt for him, on Elder Peter’s request, the High Council warriors were also dispatched to find her. But there was no trace—no spent, no bodies. Only blood. Scattered across the dense forest,”
Eemus’s fur bristled as he removed his paws from me and stood up, his claws digging into the ground. It looked like Remus wasn’t letting Lucien
Tarian said, “And that’s enough to accuse our Luna?” His voice was deadly calm but I knew that he was talking to Lucien through mind link.

“For
Suddenly, with a dangerous snarl, Rernus gave way to Lucien, but only half way. Like his arms rippled with fur and his voice was animalistic. He
bared his teeth, stepping closer. “We all know that Elder Peter is from Salle’s family!” His golden eyes darkened with rage simmering in them. S
his doing. This isn’t justice. It looks like a ploy. A calculated move!”
The High Council wolf remained impassive. “Sable Brown is missing”
“It was me who attacked her,” Lucien cut him off in a lethal voice. “She ran away right in front of me. Rather than Auren, it is Sable who is the culprit. She had no right to step into my pack and attack Auren with ten other wolves because I had expelled her.”
The High Council wolf didn’t even blink. “We have already investigated. You were not prosent when Auren attacked her and other wolves”
“I came to her rescue! Moreover, Auren is an omegal” Lucien growled. “How can she attack anal kill so many trained warriors?” His hands curled
Even though Laurien fought for me, I could feel the trap closing around me. I knew I was being framed
“Like I said, we have already investigated. Many have witnessed Auren’s special ability to fight on earlier occasions. She is no ordinary wolf and she can no longer lure under the disguise of invocence. We are going to take her with us. If you won’t allow it amicably, we will use force.”
Lucien looked at Tarian, who appeared tense. They both began talking via mind link again. I stood up and walked behind Lucien, a shiver running down me Goang to the prison in the High Council meant that one could never come out alive. And even if they did, they were not fit to live in parks, because they went moon trazy. Thuid heard of several who were put to sleep after coming out from the Council’s prison.

I shook my firad “No, I won’t let you fight them because i know it will turn into a bloodbath.”
“No” He protested “You are going without a figlari i will oppose every fucking wolf out there before I let you gu

A shudder ran down his body as Lucien stared at me. He knew that I was determined. So he looked at the High Council wolf and said, “I’ll go with her” His words were final. Then, without another word, he jumped out of the ring and shifted. He lowered his massive form for me to climb onto
