Chapter 75
SEILASTIAN'S POV
I smirked.
The look on Ivy's face when she realized that it was not my phone ringing was heavenly.
She thought she was smart? Well, she was, but unfortunately forber I was there steps ahead. When it came to dealing with people like her. People like the both of us, it was always the case of cat or be eaten. I knew this, so while she worked her brain for me. I put measures to secure myself. can't be," she yelled. "There's foul play here"
"Foul play?" I scoffed, then I turned to Elijah "Why did she save your name as Seraph though?
"I am her accomplice, Elijah answered. Tm the insider helping her. In fact, she is the one helping me. Everything she did was my idea. From pretending to be friends with the Luna to poisoning the Luna, it was my idea."
"Lies. Ivy screamed. "Elijah, stop lying. You will let this scumbag get away with what he did"
1 smirked. That was the idea. When Elijah first came to me, concerning Ivy, he had asked me to assure her of her safety.
I noticing how much he cared for her told him that if I was ever caught, I'll drag down Ivy with me. If he wanted to save her,
I told him that he would have to take full responsibility when something like this happened.
That way, he will take Ivy's punishment and she will stay in prison for only a few years. I grinned. It was just too easy.
As for the phone call, with Elijah's help, I replaced my number with his,
"Why will he decide to sacrifice himself and let me get away?" I asked and she glared at me. "Stop being delusional and come clean. No matter how hard you try, you're not framing me, so come off it."
Beta Darius turned to Elijah. "Hope you know the complications of this confession of yours. You'd be doomed to suffer throughout your existence."
"I'm a prison guard here, so I very well know how things work around here."
Beta Darius looked skeptical What could he do, though? Elijah had already confessed.
I, on the other hand, was free. Free to do more evil.
However, Ivy's confession of me having possession of the Luna's nudes was something to worry about. Beta Darius will definitely ask the Alpha and Rita will confirm it When she does, I will be dead meat
IVY'S POV
(TRIAL DAY)
I looked down at my hands. I was in shackles. A day like this was my worst fear, but here it was. I was awaiting trial. I was
doomed
I glanced at Elijah. He was in shackles too.
Throwned.
How foolish can one be? Thanks to how much he stupidly loved me, that son of a gun escaped this.
"He is just too foolish," I said under my breath.
We're here because of you. How dare you talk badly of him, Paige snarled. He loved you more than he loved himself. You, ungrateful human
"This court is now in session. Case number 1021: The Pack vs Elijah and his accomplice, Ivy."
This was it. I wonder what punishment they were going to give the
"Dear esteemed members of the jury, we are gathered there to witness the trial of Elijah and Ivy, the two wolves who attempted to kill the Lama and a precious member of our pack, Lama Rita of Noctus Umbra Pack."
I wished the ground would open and swallow ine. I hated it whenever someone called her Luna. It was my position. She snatched it from me and when I tried to take what was mine back, I was being punished.
"A few weeks ago. Ivy here tried to poison our Luna Sure did not just try to poison the Luna, she used shadowsting, a contraband and she attempted to pin the Luna's death if she succeeded on the moon goddess."
I narrowed my eyes on Rita. She was seated on the front row with Alpha Leo's arm around her shoulder. I should be the one with Alpha Leo's arms on my shoulder. It shouldn't have been her. It should be me. She was the reason I was here. If she had not come into Alpha Leo's life in the first place, nobody would have attempted to kill anybody.
She did not just sin against the pack, she sinned against the moon goddess."
thing but a
I scoffed. The moon goddess? If I had another chance to do so, I would sin against her again. She was nothing but a partial overrated goddess.
"And, she killed a former mate of the Alpha and pinned it on the moon goddess. However, Elijah, a rejected mate of hers. claimed to have been the mastermind of all these. Elijah Woods has committed a great crime."
I glanced at him. He looked at the Prosecutor without flinching. It was pathetic to see. Loving someone was pathetic and I would sacrifice everything to never ever
be that position.
"Elijah Woods, do you plead guilty?" The judge asked.
I do."
"Ivy Jackson, did you do everything you did under the instructions of Elijah Woods."
I wanted to tell the judge everything. I wanted them to investigate this case more and realize that Sebastian had a hand in
this too.
I glanced at Elijah and he glanced back.
I remembered his words loud and clear, 'Ivy, whatever you do. Tell them I instructed you to do what you did. The aim is to make sure you serve a shorter term. Afterwards, you can teach Sebastian a lesson He was right. I had to use my head.
Serving a shorter term was better than serving life or getting killed just because I want to bring Sebastian down with me.
Tell them the truth, Paige screamed. Elijah is innocent. His only crime was loving you."
"Yes, I did. Every single thing I did was under his instruction. He coerced me to work for him," I said with a straight face.
08:51
I caught a hurtful look on Elijah's face and he immediately wore a poker face and looked away.
Did 17.
[I hurt him? He offered to do this, so I shouldn't care less.
My heart squeezed in pain a little.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Guilt
For the first time in a long time, I was feeling guilty. I hated it.
Life broke me and I built myself to become emotionless. That should not change.
"Elijah and Ivy, the jury finds you guilty of attempted murderer,
I rolled my eyes. They should tell me something I did not know
"Ivy Jackson, you're to serve a term of sixteen years in prison. After serving, you are to leave this pack, because from this day. onward, you're no longer a member of this pack. After serving, the day you step a toe in this pack is the day you'll die." I swallowed
How on earth will I get back at Sebastian now!
Well, I had sixteen years to figure that out
"Elijah Woods, for masterminding the poisoning of Amy and the attempted murder of the poison, you're sentenced to serve Efe in the Dungeon of the Abyss."
My heart slacked.
Nobody could survive that place. There was no going out in that place. Only sentenced wolves could go in there. Nothing else. Not even food or water. Apart from that, the place was rumored to have so many traps.
Elijah would not last a week there. And, he will not just die. He will die an extremely painful death.
At that moment, every single feeling today I had thought had been expelled from my life hit me. Regret. Pity. Guilt Sadness.
"It's all your fault, Paige growled. 'You wanted to be the Luna of a wolf who never loved you when you had someone willing to give you the world and make you his Queen the whole time. The moon goddess chose a mate who will love you for you. but you rejected him. You lost diamond in search of coal.
I looked in the direction of Sebastian. I had to get back at him somehow. This time around, it was for involving Elijah in this.
The trial ended and I was dragged away. "You still have another enemy to take down," I screamed when we got to where Rita was and she glared at me. One of the guards dragging me hit me but I continued talking, "Sebastian. Make him pay for his wrong deeds." Her facial expression softened and I don't know if I had imagined it or not, but she mouthed the words. "I will."
