Chapter 12 Last Day

• Elena POV
• During the meeting, I remained silent up until Serene came in and I saw how Alpha Ned was towards her. I am so afraid that when I leave, she will be forced to stay behind and endure the same punishments I had to for years. However, when Gamma Nate claimed her as his mate, I was so relieved, all I could do was silently cry. Roland must have sensed my rising stress and I also wanted to hear what she wanted to say. She wanted to tell Roland what they did to me. I was so scared she would be putting an even worse target on her back from this shitty pack, but I knew she was right. He had to know, and I wasn't able to tell him. Even thinking about it, made so much anger start to rise. Serene took my hand and Roland's and just he through my memories. I could feel his reaction to them. However, when he got to my memories of the moon goddess, I saw Serene start to convulse and shake. I started to pull away but both she and Roland held my hands tighter, and I was brought back to my memory, but the moon goddess was looking at me.
• " Choose your decision wisely," she says to me, and I'm brought back to reality. I reflected on her words, trying to determine what they meant, while Roland gazed at me. My thoughts were interrupted by Roland's growling, causing Alpha Ned's side to jump in a defensive position, which reflected Roland's side doing the same. The moon goddess's words came into my mind, and I growled for them all to stop, which instantly made everyone drop their heads in submission. I somehow was able to hear Roland's Mindlink to his pack and I knew that wasn't his decision to make for me. It was mine. Alpha Ned was mine. This whole pack needed to pay the cost of their actions and I needed time to decide how. However, I was sure of one thing. So, I beat Roland to it.
