The grandeur of the wedding wore off, and the honeymoon was truly over, but her life remained in her mate's hand again. After being plagued with ineffable pain throughout her body for several months, her mate refused to get her pregnant despite her being violently marked. Instead, she concealed her longing through an affectation of joy in mixed company, and keeping mum even to Luna Zoe helped make her life in Umbra Moon somewhat bearable. Bereft, grieving, and accused of the death of her only friend at Umbra Moon, Aradia now sits in the dungeon bound by silver chains, bloody, bruised, and broken. In another cell were her Papa and a handful of warriors from Dragon Moon subjugated to a rota of inhumane interrogation and torture. Finally, after two moon cycles of incarceration and only a day of deliberation, she was found guilty of conspiracy, treason, and murder. Her mate, Alpha Zygmund, is passing her sentence today. Will the truth of the allegations she and her pack face ever be revealed? Will Zygmund show her mercy and banish her and her old pack to live as rogues?
