Rejected His Miracle Luna (Dorothy and Ignatius) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54
-Dorothy-
The girl from college and the man I assumed was Dameon backed me all the way down the hall and into an empty office. The girl locked the door behind her and spoke into the darkness “We got her, darl. Now what?”
She flicked the light on to reveal the council member from before, the short bulky man who had stood up to Ignatius. His ryes still bore the same angry expression and he looked like he wanted to order Dameon to murder me on the spot.
“She’s good leverage. Ignatius will do anything we ask so long as we have his precious little mate.”
“F uck you
Ispat at his feet and Dameon pressed the blade a linke tighter aguns my m I felt a small trickle of blood ooze down my neck. I was terrified, sure, but I was also infuriated that they plained to use me in order to control Ignatius.
I refused to let them use me to manipulate my mate. “Ignatius will do what’s right for the pack regardless of what you do to me. Your plan is futile.”
“She’s lying the girl spoke next to me. Tve seen the way he looks at her. He would put his mate over everything. And even if he wouldn’t, she’s too precious to them. With her little gift of hers, she’s the perfect weapon for the Bielke people”
I stared her down, rage boiling my blood, I had no time for any of them. It was infuriating to think that my mate was out there fighting for his life while I was trapped in some dark room listening to people speculate on my worth
If they wanted to believe I was some evil witch then that was alright with me. I would prove their fears right if I had to
“I didn’t mean to hurt you back at the college. You shouldn’t have come for me in the first place. And you should know better than to f uck with me now,”
The girl stepped closer and bared her teeth. The resentment in her eyes was familiar but I had no patience or empathy left to care about exactly why she hated me so much. She blamed me for the loss of her brother, that much was clear.
I growled back at her, leaning into the knife that Dameon still held to my throat. It cut deeper into my skin but I was determined to show no fear. I wanted them to fear me. I morplied my face into an evil-looking sneer as I hissed at the girl and she leaned away from me.
“Enough Olivia,” the elder spoke, stepping between us and glaring down at me himself. “Don’t get too close to her
He pushed his daughter back and looked down at me. “You have been a thom in our side from the moment you arrived here, little witch. Since before that actually. You are the cause for the Tally attacks as well as Ignatius incompetence. You will never be Luna of the Bielke Pack. I will see to that myself. Both you and your mate will be exiled for what you’ve done.”
I was ready to deliver a scathing remark when something at the window caught my eye. I blinked twice, wondering if I had been imagining it. A creak at the door confirmed my suspicions however and I grinned.
“It takes a lot of nerve to hijack the new Alpha’s Luna in the middle of an uprising. You might find yourselves severely Outnumbered
Before the man could respond, the window to our right shattered and the door to the small room flew open at the same time Three wolves entered at once, the large brown one came through the window while the other two barreled through the door
Both the girl and the man were pied down before they could react and the third wolf bed its teeth at Dameon who loosened his grip on me at the sudden surprise
I used this to my advantage and rammed my head back against the man who held me. I heard an awful crunch as his nose broke against the back of my skull and a seating pam shot through my head.
Dameon howled and I let my legs buckle beneath me, dropping to my knees and rolling away before he could press the

knife against me again. It mi cked my neck on the way down however and sliced into the skin of my jaw,
Cupping my bleeding face with one hand I stood behind the three wolves- my friends, Angie, Far, and Gideon growled an the boy called Dameon who promptly dropped his knife and ran for the window. I leaped forward to stop him back Angie gripped the fabric of my shirt with her teeth.
We watched The Inghtened boy go as he leaped over the window all only to be met with four other wolves waiting for him on the other side. Dameon whined as he was detained, clutching his streaming nose in the process.
Ola and her father fought to get to their feet under Fae and Glenn but were quickly contained by more shifters who poured in through the door. Angie shifted back to her human form and checked the slice on my face, concern written on
“Are you alright? 1 saw them take you, I’m sorry I couldn’t get to you
“I’m fine.” I reassured her, taking her hand from my face and presing it to my heart instead Thanks for showing up”
My eyes widened when I remembered the tight going on outude Where’s Ignan Ind he win what’s happening!”
My question was answered almost ammeshately by the man who burst through the door next. Ignates was bare-chested and evered in blood His forearm had been torn to ribbons and the en a deep gas

He was breathing heavily and his one eye was almost swollen shut. Bruises littered his b*dy along with other nasty cuts rashes. But he was alive. His eyes fell on me and he rushed to my side, scooping me up in hi

“No” Igramas stopped me from pressing my hand to his chest, he held my wrist gently and put my arm buck down at my side. 11l be fine. It’s not as bad as it looks.”
He was shaking all over and he leaned on me more heavily than I had expected
“Are you sure you’re alright I asked almost buckling under the weight of him “Ignatius you don’t seem okay!”

Chapter 54
“I think I’m getting the hang of this,” I said quietly as he breathed a sigh of relief when it was clear that I was alright. “Did you
win?
Ignatius stood up and pulled me to my feet with him. He picked me up off the flour entirely and carried me in his arms. “T did – we did. It’s over now.”
“What about Elliot”
“Elliot along with some of the elders who joined in the fight will be dealt with. I needed to make sure you were okay. And as for those three”
Ignatius gleaned with anger as he glared down at Olivia and her father. Her older brother was pinned down outside by the other shifters. I assumed it was the younger brother then, who hail been killed by the Tally
Ignatius hissed at the man on the ground who writhed under Gideon’s weight. “You deserve a punishment worse than exile. You tried to use my mate as a bargaining tool. For that, you will pay.”
He nodded to Angle who switched to business mode immediately. “Take them away,” she said to Gideon and the others. “See to it that they’re locked up until we can decide what is to be done with them,”
I wrapped my arms tightly around Ignatius’ neck as he carried me from the room and out of the councilor hall. On the front steps, I was able to see Elliot along with a few other council members on their knees and in silver cuffs.
Elliot’s face was almost unrecognizable, long claw marks had scratched so deeply I wondered if he was doomed to lose his eyesight entirely. He was still fighting his imprisonment and it took five shifters to hold him in place.
Ignatius stood before his father with me in his arms. The two of us looked down at Elliot me with pity and Ignatius with a quiet resentment..
I am the true Alpha now, Ignatius addressed the traitors along with his father. “For your betrayal, I banish all of you from this pack. Should you ever set foot on Bielke territory again, I will have no choice but to kill you.”
“And as for you,” he directed his words at Elliot who glared at us with his mangled face. “It has been a tradition for generations that the Bielke Alphas kill their predecessors. I know that’s what you did to your father, and what your father did
to his.
“But things are different now and we follow new rules. Therefore, you, Elliot Armoundt, are banished too. I know you love your pack deeply. But if you can’t step down peacefully then I cannot let you stay.”
Elliot spat on the ground at Ignatius’ feet and sealed his fate Ignatius shrugged like he had expected this reaction but there was sadness in his eyes all the same
“Take them away,” he said to the shifters who stood at attention. Take them to the border and set them free. If they try to cross back over, kill them.”
With that Ignatius turned to face the rest of the Bielke shifters. “The Bielke is officially ours. I hope you can accept your new Alpha and Luna”
He had barely finished his sentence before the people began cheering, howling under the moonlight as the shimmering orb broke through the clouds, Ignatius stole one last look at his father who was being dragged away to a nearby van.
Elliot glowered at his son. “You’ll regret this,” he roared. There will be hell to pay, Ignatius! You’re going to wish you had killed me. You’re no son of mine.”
Ignatius turned his head away and I placed a hand to his chest inquiet consolation.
