The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656: Pleas for The Innocent

[Third Person].

But then, one of the Royal Alphas stepped forward. Without hesitation, he dropped to one knee before the throne.

"Your Majesty." His voice carried a rare urgency.

Draven’s gaze shifted to him. "Speak."

The Alpha lowered his head further. "No matter the punishment you decide for the Fellowes family... I ask that you spare my daughter."

A faint stir passed through the hall.

"She is married into that family," he continued, "but she is not part of their sins." Then, his voice tightened slightly. "And their child... is innocent."

The implication was clear.

At the same time, Meredith remembered Vivian and how courteous she was to her during their first meeting, and thought it would be a pity for her and her child to get caught up in this mess. So, she turned and whispered something into Draven’s ear.

On the other hand, as silence lingered in the hall, another Alpha stepped forward. Then another. One by one, several of them bowed.

"We support this request, Your Majesty."

"Both mother and child have done no wrong."

"They should not suffer for this."

The pressure in the room shifted in appeal.

Draven watched them. Then, calmly, he said, "I will take their innocence into consideration."

His statement settled immediately, and relief spread across their faces.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Vivian’s father said, bowing deeply.

The other Alphas followed. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Draven gave a slight nod. "Rise. Return to your positions."

They obeyed at once, stepping back into place as the hall quieted again.

And just then, the grand doors swung open, and Reginald and Levi were ushered inside. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The moment they stepped into the hall, both men slowed at the presence of the entire council. Then, all eyes turned toward them.

Levi’s expression shifted immediately, unease creeping into his gaze. But Reginald saw something else entirely. An opportunity.

’Good.’ He thought to himself. If everyone were here, then everyone would witness what had been done to his daughter.

His confidence rose.

Levi and his father stepped forward and bowed. "Your Majesties," they greeted. But Reginald’s bow toward Meredith was shallow and reluctant.

Draven’s gaze rested on them. "Rise."

They obeyed. Then, his voice cut through the hall. "What would make you," he said slowly, "a commoner, dare to cause a commotion in my palace... and disrupt my assembly?"

The calmness in his tone only made the anger beneath it more apparent. Regardless, Reginald didn’t hesitate. As if waiting for this moment, he dropped to his knees.

"Your Majesty!" his voice rang out. "I seek justice!" Then he lifted his hand, pointing directly toward Meredith.

"The Queen—!" his voice shook with emotion. "She killed my daughter out of jealousy!"

A wave of murmurs rippled through the hall.

"She butchered her last night!" Reginald continued, his voice breaking. "What did my daughter do to deserve such cruelty?!"

His face twisted in pain. "She didn’t even leave her a whole corpse..."

The words echoed. Immediately, voices rose, but not in accord.

"How dare he—"

"This man—!"

’Something is wrong. Very wrong.’

A cold realization crept in. ’Whatever Wanda did must have been severe.’

Levi blinked, almost doubting himself. ’That... can’t be right.’
