The Alpha King And His Chosen Luna novel Chapter 239

A moment of peace

(Caius)

Isla’s gifts were remarkable. They had uncovered truths no witness could ever reveal.

Each vision pulled away another layer of deception, revealing a conspiracy far larger than any of us had imagined.

The truth had finally reached the surface. The lies Rodan and Evander had protected for years could no longer survive the light.

The hearing had ended.

Justice had not.

Evander would answer for every order he had given and every lie he had protected. The Council would see to that.

I had no intention of allowing anything to be overlooked.

Every record would be examined.

Every decision made during Evander’s years on the Council would be questioned.

If the truth had been hidden once, it would never be hidden again.

Some victories ended battles. This one demanded responsibility, and every decision made after today would shape the future.

Today’s judgment would be remembered, but the choices that followed would define the legacy of this Council.

My thoughts shifted beyond the hearing.

Today’s judgment closed one chapter, but the work waiting ahead would demand far more than a single decision. The Council would need to restore confidence in every law it enforced and every promise it made beneath the Crown.

Trust was not restored through words.

It was restored through action.

Every choice made after today would prove whether the Council had truly learned from its own mistakes.

I intended to make certain it had.

I looked toward isla again. Enough time had passed that I found myself wondering whether she was ready to return to her human form.

I remained where I was.

There was no reason to rush her. Whatever she decided, I would accept it without question.

“Are you ready now?”

asked the question quietly.

She didn’t answer immediately. I waited without speaking, knowing this decision belonged to her and no one else.

A quiet feeling passed through our bond I smiled and waited for the shift to begin.

Vaela stepped back with quiet acceptance, allowing Isla to take control as the shift slowly began.

I stepped toward the chair and gathered the clothing. When I returned to her, ! held them out without saying a word.

Isla accepted the clothing from my hands.

“Thank you,” she said.

I smiled.

“You’re welcome.”

She unfolded the shirt before pulling it over her head. A moment later, she stepped into the trousers and fastened them before brushing her hair back from her face.

I waited until she finished.

“Better?”

She looked down at herself before smiling.

“Much.”

I held out my hand.

She placed hers in mine without hesitation.

I smiled.

“We should head back to our quarters.”

She looked at me.

“You need to rest after today.”

A small smile touched her lips.

“And what about you?”

I closed my fingers around hers.

“I’ll rest once I know you are.”

She laughed quietly.

“I think that’s the first order you’ve given me all day.”

Ismiled.

“And will you obey it?”

She pretended to think about it.

“I suppose I can.”

I chuckled before leading her from the chamber.

The corridor outside had grown quiet.

25 Points

Most of the guards had returned to their posts while servants moved quietly through the halls, making way the moment they saw us.

No one tried to stop us.

No one asked about the hearing.

The news would spread soon enough.

For now, they gave us the privacy we needed.

I looked at Isla.

“Are you alright?”

She nodded.

“I will be.”

I believed her.

Together, we continued through the long corridor until our quarters came into view. I opened the door, letting her step inside before following behind her.

The moment the door closed, the silence around us became a welcome one.

I released her hand once we were inside.

The fire still burned in the hearth exactly as we had left it earlier that morning. Our quarters felt exactly as we had left them, untouched by everything that had happened beyond those walls.

I looked at Isla.

“Would you like something to eat?”

She considered the question before answering.

“Yes.”

The answer came without hesitation.

‘Dena.’

‘Yes, Alpha King?’
