She was pulled out of the court with the help of the guards and they showed no mercy. They didn't even consider the fact, that she was their Luna, the one supposed to rule them and guide them. For them, she was a traitor as per Oliver's words. They believed him more than they would believe Lia because Oliver was one among them, not a royal blood. He was a gamma, not even beta so they knew him more as he stayed with them all these years.
Oliver was the oldest gamma in their pack alongside his brother Xavier who disappeared long ago and the reason still unknown to them. He was chosen to be the Alpha by Lia, herself as she was carried away by his unmatchable charms. Her friend, Kristen Moore is the beta of the pack and the rightful successor but Lia was not read to accept him as her Alpha.
"I am your Luna." Lia kept reminding them.
"Oliver was one of us, he knows our struggles more than anyone else. We trust him for the same reason. He will never betray us because he knows our pain and he promised us a better future." One of the guard was kind enough to answer her while other's chose to ignore.
"I chose him as your Alpha and even I trusted him but things turned out to be like this."
"Are you trying to brain wash us now? King asked us to throw you in here so what makes you think, we would listen to your lies?" The guard asked, his face showing nothing but pre disgust.
"He is lying, he is deceiving you all for his own needs. Please don't risk our whole pack because of a misunderstanding. I am not trying to play anyone here, I promised to the Moon Goddess to protect our pack." Lia continued to explain her side.
"Odin, you are not supposed to talk to a accused like this. We have to hurry, so walk fast." One of the omega said while pulling Lia with greater force.

"I will help you out later." Odin whispered to Lia before leaving her locked in the dark cell all alone.
Lia held onto the bars as she looked at the people disappearing in front of her one by one but Odin spared a glance at her for one last time, before taking the turn. Lia had tears filled in her green deep eyes, it was not about being kicked out or because of Oliver cheating on her. It was because of her father and her pack, they didn't trust her. She was not worthy of trusting according to them.
"What did I do to deserve this? How will I help my pack from that traitor?" Lia cried while falling on the cold floor.
Her stomach was killing her maybe because of all the strain and she hadn't eaten anything since two days. She was busy preparing her pack for the war which may happen in the future. Lia didn't have any idea about her pregnancy till that day morning and she wouldn't have known it any time soon if things weren't going bad.
"I am sorry to be here while I am to take rest without stressing. Mommy will soon find a way out and will definitely protect you." Lia said patting her stomach softly.
Forty three days more and her cubs will join her side but before anyone gets to know about it, she had to get out from the cell. Traitor's cubs won't be given any authority in the pack and as of now, Lia is framed as a traitor. Her cubs are supposed to be the next Alpha and in order to pave the way for it, she has to prove Oliver as guilty.
"Goddess, please listen to my prayers and help me out of here. Every night counts for me as Oliver can cast the spell anytime on my pack. I want to protect them, I want to keep up the good will and pride of the Flores." Lia prayed looking at the statue which was a little far, opposite side of the room.

"So she is gone for good. No more troubles in my way." Oliver grinned as he swirled his champagne.
"We need to be careful." A woman spoke as she poured more drinks for Oliver.
"Sarah, she is daring and cunning. I can't believe she fell into the trap."
"Baby, you did a very good job." Sarah hummed seductively while scooting over to him.
The base of her champagne glass slowly moving on his thighs, over the dark blue denim fabric. He faced her with his drunken gaze travelling from her highly contoured face to her sharp exposed collar bone and the white laced dress which were tied criss cross till her stomach revealing the cleavage and some of her boobs.
"You are tempting me to do dirty things." Oliver whispered to her ears.
"Well then, who is stopping you from that?" Sarah threw the glass away and pulled the boy's shirt collar.
'Wait before you start the game, I would like to speak."
The duo pulled away in a jiffy and looked at the side from where the voice was heard. Oliver pushed Sarah away from him harshly as if nothing had happened and tried to fake a smile. Sarah on the other hand was panicking at the man who stood by the window in a very loose brown attire.
"Kristen? Why are you in my room at this time?" Oliver asked after pulling himself together.
"May I ask the same to you? What is going on here at this ungodly hour? This is not definitely what a broken soul would be expected to act like." Kristen chuckled as he walked close to the man who looked panicked.
"Kristen, be in your limits!" Oliver exclaimed.
"Sarah, would you mind taking your ass out of this room? Or else you can stay back till I let you go." The boy glared at Sarah and she immediately placed her champagne glass in the table and left the room.
"What do you want Kristen?" Oliver asked again while taking few steps back.
"I would like to make a deal."
