Luna Reborn by Juliet Swanson Chapter 7

Chapter 7 
Winona’s POV 
I made an effort to hold back my terror, but my eyes widened in surprise. 
The execution site? Almost immediately I remembered the scene the goddess showed me. 
“He wants to kill me without a trial? This violates Pack Law,” I 
screamed. 
“No, shit. There is already proof that you cooperated with the devil, according to Alpha Now that we have concrete proof that you are guilty of tre Purchase completed not necessary.” 
What? Evidence? This couldn’t be done! How was it possible to locate evidence of something I had never done? 
He didn’t respond to me, grabbed my arms, and all of a sudden, I felt the urge to fight. I fought to get free of my chains, but the chains became tighter. 
“No! He can’t do this to me!” I was driven by anger and terror. I attempted to kick the guard and bite the chains, but the silver metal hurt my flesh and made me lose strength. 
“Shut the fuck up!” The guard shouted and gave me a slap, dragged me out. 
Every step I took caused pain to lace through my flesh and bone because they had attached silver chains to my ankles. I limped along the hallways while worrying about my future.

I started to feel guilty about my skepticism in seeing the Moon Goddess since it felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. Maybe I ought to have taken her up on that offer right away! How stupid I am! 
I blinked quickly as tears started to pour from my eyes, trying to direct them to the ground rather than the wounds and bruises that were all over my face. It would make me appear pitiful. 
I moved more quickly because I was eager to see what proof they would unearth of my guilt. But the anguish made my vision hazy. For the first time, I felt bad for keeping Sebastian under watch. I don’t know how he had managed to bear the silver chains for so long. 
I entered the execution grounds after the guards. It was a sizable open area with metal benches lining the edges. 
Typically, the court and the Alpha would order the death. penalty for any werewolves found guilty after a trial. On my rounds around the jail, I regularly passed the grounds, but I never imagined that one day, I would be standing there. 
I was thrown onto the central platform by the guards. And I made every effort to hold back kneeling. I couldn’t bear to kneel in front of them again since I had had enough of being made fun of and disgraced. 
My gaze shifted to the werewolves perched on the benches, and I noticed Benjamin and Isabella watching from a distance. I resisted the impulse to yell at Benjamin and tell him the truth about what had transpired. 
No one had paid attention to my justifications. Nobody wanted to accept my story.

The blinding sun reminded me of the past when I stood by Benjamin’s side and watched as a wolf named James was executed on suspicion of betraying for no reason. At that time, I knew nothing. I never doubted Benjamin’s judgment. But I remembered the crimson blood pooling at my feet. made me sick. I remembered the man’s pleas and Benjamin’s cold and indifferent stare. 
I stood in front of the man who I trusted, to whom I pledged my undying loyalty. But now, I was the one who was on the receiving end of his merciless gaze. 
His rejection broke our matebond, but I couldn’t help but still feel the aftereffects of my sadness. My soul was suddenly filled with rage, and I had the desire to scream. “Do you intend to murder me as you did James, Benjamin? Don’t forget! I haven’t even been tried yet! It against the law.” 
Benjamin averted his eyes from mine. “Did those large, ignorant guards not inform you? A trial is not required because I have discovered tangible evidence that confirms your crime.” 
As he talked, he clapped his hands, and two warriors pushed a woman’s form onto the stage. 
It’s Zoey, her eyes averted from me. 
“Zoey, introduce yourself to the elders and repeat what you said to me yesterday.” Benjamin ordered. 
“I–I’m Zoey, Luna, oh no, Winona Granger’s handmaiden who grew up together. What I’m going to say is that I can prove that Winona and the intruders have reached some kind of cooperation. I think the mark on her is the powerful proof. What’s more, I also have a letter from her to the intruders, she

once asked me to mail it for her, and also asked me to give drugs to the beasts guarding the border. I think this may be the reason why those scary wolves easily entered the Lock Heart Pack.” 
My eyes widened and my expression stiffened. Zoey! what is she talking about? What letter? I have no idea! 
“How can you prove that I gave you that letter and those medicines!” I screamed at her. 
“Here’s the letter, and it’s your handwriting,” Benjamin said, throwing a letter in my face. 
I opened it in a hurry and almost tore the letter up. 
This is indeed my handwriting, but I have never written this letter! It is spliced and imitated from the hunting warrant once issued! 
But who will believe me? It was brought out by my most trusted and closest maid and friend, who would believe that she betrayed me? But how could she do this to me? I have loved her so much over the years and we are best friends. And now it looks like I’m nothing to her. 
Her voice was trembling, but it continued. “From the day Isabella came here, Winona was always furious in the room, and her wolf gradually began to lose control. Sometimes she would say things like killing Isabella, and she mentioned she talked regularly with the Sebastian in the silver cell. They almost talked everything.” 
What is she saying? Those are just interrogations that strictly comply with pack law! She wanted to use these conjectures as evidence and Benjamin believed her? This is ridiculous!

“I think her actions are detrimental to the whole pack. So, I’m sorry, Winona, I have to come out and say everything.” 
After she finished speaking, she bowed to Benjamin, then quickly ran back to the sidelines and stood by Isabella’s side. 
Oh that makes sense. Zoey was bought by her. But…why did 
she do that? 
I suddenly remembered the details and what she had said. 
Is it because I did not become a Luna favored by Alpha that made she received unfair treatment from others like Gamma 
Jacob? 
Why didn’t she just tell me? I can help her teach those people a lesson. 
But that didn’t make any sense now. She’s standing next to Isabella, accusing me. 
“Well, the result is obvious. In the name of Alpha of the Lock Heart Pack, I announce that Winona Granger has been convicted of treason and sentenced to

death. ” 
I’m too stupid to believe in Benjamin, believe in fairness, and in the end my result is death! 
“You can choose, eat wolfsbane to kill your wolf only or get slaughtered with her.” Benjamin said. 
“I will never give up my wolf.” My voice was almost inaudible, but I didn’t care anymore. I’m so pathetic. 
“Then I declare that you are sentenced to death for releasing

the devil Sebastian and endangering Alpha’s heir.” Benjamin. said coldly. 
He waved his hand, signaling the nearby executioner to do his job. The black–hooded man approached me with his silver sword. 
My breathing quickened and I closed my eyes, said one last time, “I swear to the Moon Goddess that I did nothing wrong to betray the Lock Heart Pack. I die today for false accusations, stupid myself and our dickhead Alpha… I hope you all suffer. When I am gone and you are alone, I hope I haunt you. I hope my face is what you see when you finally meet your demise.” 
“Kill her now!” Benjamin ordered angrily. I sucked in a breath, and the executioner raised his silver sword and thrust it into my chest. 
My scream was so loud that it made a few wolves cover their ears. It made the trees rustle and the birds fly away. But the moment the blade pierced my body, I couldn’t hear anything. 
I heard the sigh of the moon goddess that day before my vision went black…
