Chapter Seventy Four
I came to the Pack’s Quarters to check how the Dawn Pack members were settling with the change, but I hadn’t bothered with the Nightshade members who also had to adjust. They had to welcome a new Luna and Queen–one raised to fight and protect her own people—and accept new members into their pack without having any say in it.
Perhaps I was being unfair.
The soldiers approached cautiously.
“I don’t want to hurt any of you; don’t force me.”
“There doesn’t have to be any kind of violence.” Seth agreed. “Just come willingly; you will be placed in the dungeons, but I assure you, you will get your chance to explain your actions to the Alpha King, and he will give the final verdict.”
“I am your Luna and Queen; I will not be placed in the dungeons.”
“Then you leave us with no other choice.”
of course, they were aiming for a clean

capture.
I dodged a punch aimed at me and landed a kick to the soldier’s knee, and he lost balance. I took that to my advantage, sending another kick straight to his nose, and the crunch was unmistakable.
Another soldier struck me from behind with a wooden pipe. I quickly snatched the pipe from his hand and kneed him in the groin, then swung the pipe at his face. The other soldiers drew their swords, and I unsheathed my daggers.
I blocked a sword aimed at my arm with both daggers, and in a swift move, I slashed his cheeks. He cried out, clutching his face to stop the bleeding. I placed my dagger at his throat, ending the fight.
“Walk away, all of you, or he dies.” I warned the rest.
“Kill him then.” Seth says, “Kill him and have another innocent’s blood on your hands.
You know, I warned him when your father came to make the proposal; I warned him that this would bring division but he wouldn’t listen, and now it all plays out.”
I released the soldier and tossed my daggers to the ground. marked the faces of all the soldiers. They were going to pay for this, but not today.
I let them walk me away from the Outpost and back to the Pack House. I spotted Aric on my way, he stared at me, confusion written on his face. I shook my head, indicating he should do nothing.
The soldiers led me to the dungeons. Seth pulled open one of the cells, and I walked in; he locked me in.
“When the Alpha returns, I’ll be glad to know what punishment he’ll enforce on you.” Seth said with a smile.
“The woman wasn’t a thief.” I said to him,
“What do you call people who take things that don’t belong to them?”
“Her son is ill.”
She could have saved up and bought the drugs the way it is supposed to be.”
“He called her a Dawnite bitch; he abused her–his worker in public. He didn’t only fire her but threatened to make sure she remained jobless.”

“And so you took matters into your hands and killed him. You will be here for a long time, Luna. Reserve your strength; you would need it,” he said before walking away.
Seth was one of the Council Advisors I didn’t like at all. I should have picked up on his dislike for the Dawn Members during the meeting where he suggested that no move be made against the rogues since the attack hadn’t been on this pack’s land. He hadn’t said that because he was worried about the number of soldiers that would die in battle, but because he didn’t want the Nightshade Soldiers dying due an attack on the ‘Dawn‘ pack.
