she gestured slightly, and a tall warrior stepped out from behind Alpha Marcus. His face was a mask of an gerand pain as he spoke loudly to all the clan members.
"I, Garrick, swear by my wolf spirit that every word l say is true!"
First, he proclaimed this to everyone, then turned his accusatory gaze toward me.
“At that time, we all faced life-threatening danger, but we trusted Alpha Marcus's judgment, waiting for our comrade Selena!"
"We were forced to fight against the Rogues, and we saw that omega,Elena, with absolutely no hint of sympathy or concern on her face! We yelled out to her, begged her to stop the team, but she just looked at us coldly, as if we were nothing more than a bunch of doomed ants!"
“in the end, it was her! She turned to beta Felix and said something, and just like that, the entire team abandoned us, decisively walking away! she didn't even look back!”
His testimony was highly inflammatory, painting me perfectly as a heartless wolf, indifferent to the suffering of others.
The pack erupted in chaos.
“Oh my God! This. this is a witness!”
“This is horrifying! How could she be so cold-blooded!”
“Get out of the Black Moon Pack! We don't need wolves like her!”
Shouts of condemnation,accusations-an overwhelming tide of reproach surged toward me. Several werewolves beside me instinctively shifted away, as if l were some kind of contagious disease.
Beta Felix's face was a dark storm of anger and distress.
Selena watched the reaction from the crowd, a glimmer of triumph flickering in her eyes, though her expression remained one of sorrow and tolerance.
“She spoke again, her voice tinged with a sob:“ asked Beta Garrick to say all this not to lay blame on anyone.”
"l just hope.. hope Luna Elena can acknowledge her mistakes.”
“After all, we are kin, and if she's willing to sincerely apologize, we... we would still be ready to forgive her.”
What grace, what kindness! She had successfully placed herself on the moral high ground.
Now it was Alpha Marcus's turn.
He looked far more agitated than Selena, Taking a step forward, his gaze was piercing, as if he were the embodiment of justice.
He didn't launch into a long-winded speech; instead, he simply extended his uninjured hand and pointed sharply at me.
"My mate, Elena!" he bellowed, and instantly the room fell silent.”
"Today, in front of all our kin and the Moon Goddess, you must apologize for your selfishness and cold-heartedness to all our warriors and to Selena!”
“Apologize!”
“Apologize!!”
I didn't know who started it, but soon the deafening roar of "apologize"swept through the crowd.
The atmosphere peaked with tension.
Every gaze in the`room felt like countless searing needles, all aimed squarely at me.
Beta Felix anxiously nudged me, his voice low and urgent: “Luna, hurry! Getup there and apologize! Otherwise,things will only get worse!”
Under the scrutiny of everyone, l slowly stood up.
i calmly adjusted my leather armor,and one step at a time, l moved toward the stone platform.
Alpha Marcus and Selena clearly didn't expect this reaction from me; a hint of panic flashed across their faces
As l reached the center of the platform, l met the myriad expressions in the crowd with a steady gaze.
Then, l smiled.
“Apologize?"l began softly, my voice quiet yet resonant enough to reach every corner of the venue. "sure thing.”
"But before l apologize, I'd like to ask everyone to listen to another testimony.”
