Chapter 347

“I don’t need to hide behind anyone. Now that I’m finally getting the medical treatment that I need, now that my wolf is finally getting strong enough that I can feel her presence again, I d need to hide. What I need is for you to get out of my life. I never wanted you as a mate. You never intended to be my mate. I would never have willingly accepted you as my mate and neit would my wolf”

“What will it take, Jocelyn? What will it take for you to return to our home with me?” he says. looking at her. “No matter how it happened, you are our mate. Kortan and I want you at our sid You are our Luna.”

Jocelyn smiles sadly. “Do you know, I’ve learned a lot lately about what it means to be a true Luna, the way they interact with their pack, the way they care about their pack, how their mates treat them and respect them. Being around this group of women has taught me a lot about the lif that I want for myself. I don’t ever see myself having that life with you.”

“You are my mate!” he snarls, standing up before the warriors close in on him, putting their hand on his shoulders and holding him back. I can feel Hunter, ready to attack if Zahn makes a move toward Jocelyn.

“Have a seat, Alpha Zahn,” Jake says forcefully.

When everyone is seated, I look up at Alpha Jake.

“May I make a suggestion?”

“Of course, Luna,” he says. I stand and look at Alpha Zahn as Hunter gets Jocelyn’s seat for her.

“Alpha, if you want to make an impact on your mate. I think you should get on your knees and beg her forgiveness.” I say.

“Excuse me?” he scoffs at me.

“Get on your knees, strip yourself bare in front of your peers, the other ranked members in this room. then publicly shame yourself for others to see by apologizing to your mate,” I say

“You see what I’m dealing with?” he asks the council as Jocelyn looks up at me frowning and I feel Hunter gomg through my mind, trying to understand the purpose behind my words. When he finds it, he nods at me

“And why would I do that, Luna?” Zahn asks, as if my title means less than the dirt on his s

“Because it’s what you did to her, Alpha,” I say with as much condescension in my tone as h

used

“I was there. I saw you in the woods. I saw how you shoved Jocelyn to her knees, stripped he bare in front of your pack members and shamed her by mating her and forcefully marking her she sobbed and begged you to stop. If it’s good enough for your Luna,” I snarl, getting angry a over again. “it should be good enough for you.”

I watch as my words sink in. Jocelyn didn’t know I was there. I may have just lost a friend, bu needed to let the council know what he did.

“Public matings were not against the law,” he says quietly, but looks away from Jocelyn.

“That’s what you’re going to stand behind?” Nikki asks. “The law?”

“The law is what we live by,” he insists.

“And what law says it’s okay for you to force your mark on someone who doesn’t want it?” Margot asks. I was glad to see her here. She’s not technically Ezra’s mate, but she was a Luna, so everyone agreed that she should have a place on the trial.

“The ranked members were on the run. None of us could find our mates,” he snarls.

“But you did find

did find your mate,

your mate, didn’t you Alpha Zahn? You found her and she chose to end her life rather than be with you. Isn’t that correct?” Robin asks him.

“Caralyn was ill,” he says.
