Chapter 44 A King On His Knees

• The king turned so pale I cried. I cried because I realized what I had just brought on myself. Everyone in that area gasped with their weeps getting even louder. My legs shook as if to buckled, Brum cursing over and over again behind me. I knew I did something stupid but I could not let them kill a pack member. As much as they hated me, I was the luna of the pack, I was a mother to all of them and I would not watch while any of my children got hurt. I would protect them to my death, that is what a luna does.
• I was panicking but I would not take my decision back. My fear came back, so scared I thought I would faint.
• The king turned, his whole body turning to me. The whip was already coated with nothing but blood, it dripping to the ground as Stern fought to stand up straight. My lips shook, my hands too. What a promising day it had been but that was gone.
