My Secret Life (New Edition)
Chapter 330 Trial
Deimos
Finisher
Zalia lets me listen to everything that happens through our mind-link, and I am still amazed that we can actually use it without having marked one another. I listen as she talks to Luna Hester about Benjamin finding Alpha Brad, that he probably put a block up to avoid getting disturbed, and that he just lost track of time.
She even reminds Luna Hester of a few occasions where Alpha Brad actually did that and that he would probably be apologizing for the next two weeks. Luna Hester seems to calm down a bit after that, and both of them drink their coffee while Zalia tells me that Luna Hester seems nervous to her.
“She doesn’t have anything with her, but I don’t want to turn my back on her for a second. How much longer before they get here?” Zalia asks me.
I look at my watch and see that they can be here any minute. I ask Leander to link Eryx while I tell Zalia that they are almost here. Leander gives me two thumbs up, and I know that they are at the gate.
“Dad just linked me that the Warrior at the gate informed him of the King’s arrival. I will inform Luna Hester and tell her I will meet her downstairs. I can’t face the King in my sweats, now can I?” I hear her say before she tells Luna Hester about the arrival of the King.
Zalia is right that Luna Hester doesn’t want her to face the King dressed as she is. The moment the door closes behind Luna Hester, Leander and I walk out of her bedroom, and she rushes past us to get changed into a bit more appropriate attire. Leander and I pay our prisoners a visit, but all three of them are still unconscious. As we walk out, Zalia exits her room. She smiles at me before she walks into my arms, and I guide her out of the door.
Leander walks on her other side as we head down the stairs, and the moment we step onto the front porch, the King’s convoy stops in front of the Pack-house. Luna Hester is looking rather nervous, and if she knew what I know, she had every right to be nervous. But right now, I think she is nervous because her Mate isn’t here to welcome the King.
“Benjamin, where is Brad?” Luna Hester whisper-yells as King Alwin steps out of his SUV. I chuckle when Eryx falls on his ass when Sila pushes him because she wants to get out of the SUV. Luna Hester’s face pales when she sees me standing behind her.
“Any idea where your Mate might be now, Luna?” Zalia asks her with a sweet smile.
Leander calls out to a few of our Warriors to follow him, and Luna Hester looks from Zalia to Leander, but neither one of them says a word.
“What is going on, Mom?” I hear Elinor say from behind me, and I know she will be in for the shock of her life.
Luna Hester seems unable to answer her question, and I doubt Alwin wants me to tell her too much.
“There will be a trial at the Palace soon, and unfortunately, your Father and your Brother will be the ones on trial,” I reply.
“Whether anyone else in this Pack will be joining them or not, it depends on what we uncover in the next few days. From this day until King Alwin decides otherwise, Moon Stone Pack belongs to the Royal Family.

No one is allowed in or out without permission from King Alwin.” I continue, not only to answer Elinor’s question but also to answer any questions the Pack-members might have.
I watch as Dad passes me into the Pack-house, and I know that within five minutes, no one can enter the Alpha Office or the Alpha floor.
“King Alwin, what are my Father and Brother accused of?” Elinor asks, and I can tell she has paid more attention during her training than most future Alphas do.
King Alwin looks at Elinor as he thinks about how to respond to her question. “Elinor, your Father and Brother discovered something at the Palace, and they made three attempts to forcefully mark someone. We are going to investigate what they did exactly and who was involved, but also who was aware of their plans,” he answers her.
Elinor looks at her Mother, but Luna Hester seems to be deep in thought, and Elinor continues to look at her Mother, but she doesn’t react to the stares she gets from her Daughter.
“Why are Pack-members telling me that you were here before the King arrived?” Elinor asks as she looks at
“None of your business,” is my short response to her question, and it is clear to see that she doesn’t like my
answer.
“Zalia, care to explain?” Elinor asks.
“No,” is Zalia’s very short answer, and before Elinor can ask anything else, Sila asks where they will be staying.
“With us, of course,” Zalia says, smiling before she turns her back on Elinor-not because she hates or dislikes Elinor. No, she just doesn’t want to answer any questions regarding this investigation. She knows better than to give Elinor a peek into her cards.
Leander walks out of the Pack-house, followed by six Warriors. Each pair is carrying a male between them, and I see Elinor staring at her Father and Brother.
“Get them to the Palace, place them three cells apart, and have guards around the clock down there. I want to know about every word they say, no matter how insignificant it might seem,” King Alwin commands, and the Warriors place the three males in three different vans with guards.
I stay outside with Leander on the front porch while Zalia takes Sila and Asha up to the Gamma floor, and Eryx follows them because he will be removing the bugs from their floor. He will also check the Beta and Alpha floors for bugs because I doubt Brad or Donovan placed them, and something tells me that our mystery guest from last night knows more about them.
The moment the vans pull away from the Pack-house, Luna Hester seems to get pulled out of her thoughts, and Elinor has the honor of telling her what happened.
“What trial are you talking about?” Luna Hester asks when Elinor finished talking, and we tell her that we can’t say anything about it until the investigation is over, but that it involves forceful marking.
