Alpha’s Bewitching Regret

Levy felt her heart drop to the deepest pit of her stomach. Why should he believe her? Because she was his mate! The other half of his soul, how can he not trust the other half of his soul and for whom? A girl who meant nothing to him. She wanted to shout and fight for her right but Levy knew that it was useless, Logan never cared about her and even more so now that she was the one who was being charged with the crime of killing the girl whom he had adored for so long.

She bowed her head without saying anything anymore, she knew that no one was going to come to her help. Not even her father who have hated her from the day she gained her consciousness as a young girl, in fact, she was quite sure that he must be quite pleased with the outcome of this trial —— for years, Levy have wondered why her father hated her but now she could no longer care about anything.

She has cared too much, and loved too much this was why she was in this condition. If only she had left the pack after Logan took Mavis as his lover then she wouldn't be in this situation.

When she said nothing, Logan who was sitting in the main seat of the pack hall like the King of an Empire looked around the hall and asked in a clear-cut voice, * Does anyone have anything to say in favour of Levy Taylor?”

Just as she expected, no one said a word. Not even her brother, the beta of the pack, he clearly had the power to save her but he didn't, he didn't say a word. Levy sucked in a breath and shook her head with a mocking smile what was she even expecting now?

“ Very well, since Levy Taylor could not produce any efficient evidence that she wasn't guilty of the charges that were placed on her head, I hereby announce her as a sinner of the wolf community.” Then he turned to look at Mavis's father who was crying pitifully and asked with a delicate voice, * Elder Hopkins, what punishment would you like to give the sinner? She is the one who killed your daughter, any punishment that you deem fit, please say it out loud.”

* Alpha, I... I have nothing more to say, one of my daughters died and the other is unconscious, who knows when she will wake up... as an old man I have lost everything... though others would think its cruel, I want that sinner who killed my daughter to pay with her own life. That's all that I want... I... don't want my daughter's soul to be at unrest because I as her father couldn't get revenge on her.” After saying this, he once again succumbed to crying. Everyone watched Elder Hopkins cry until he was out of breath and their hatred for Levy intensified, everyone knew that Elder Hopkins lost his mate and was only hanging on to life for his daughters, how cruel this sinner has to be to take away the only reason he was alive.

" That's fair.” Logan nodded sympathetically before turning to Levy, his eyes as cold as ice and his voice devoid of all the warmth that he had for Mavis. “ Does the sinner have any last words to say?” “I don't,” gritted out Levy as she glared at Logan, three years he loved this man for three years and had a crush on him ever since she was a child, and this was how he repaid her? “ I just hope that you will never regret this because one day the truth will come to light and then everyone will know how a great alpha killed an innocent female because he was blinded because of his emotions. Fair you say? There is nothing fair about this trail, I wasn't given a chance to defend myself, I wasn't even given a chance to carefully explain my situation and the circumstances before I was hauled here. You are one blind asshole Logan Alston and I hope you will suffer through the same pain as I am when you will tell the truth, put your feelings on the line and no one will believe you.”

Her words echoed in the silence of the packed hall, as Logan simply cast a glance at her before continuing, “ So, now that the sinner has finished saying her last words we shall commence—"

“ Wait,” An old voice interrupted Logan as the head of all Elders, Elder Abbot raised his hand causing everyone to look at him in surprise.

“ Lord Abbot?" Logan must have been surprised by this outcome because this time his confusion echoed in his voice. “ What's wrong?”

“I believe that the girl is innocent,” said Lord Abbot as he stood up from his chair where he was seated.

Immediately, a loud uproar issued within the pack hall as Elder Hopkins cried, * But my lord she was caught at the spot of the murder!”

“ Innocent until proven guilty,” Lord Abbot swept his eyes sharply at Elder Hopkins. * There is no evidence that proves that she used magic herself to kill your daughter, Hopkins.”

“ Magic circles were drawn all over the place—-"

" She is not the only witch in this world, with the number of enemies that our Alpha has, it's given that someone would try to take advantage of the situation.” shot back Lord Abbot.

Levy who has lost all her hope looked at Lord Abbot with tears in her eyes, she never thought that the elder who always behaved so strictly towards her would actually come to her rescue.

Logan who was watching the two elders quibble snapped the armrest of his chair in anger and looked at Lord Abbot. “ My lord do you really want to save this sinner?”

“1am not saving the sinner, I am saving your pride, Alpha,” answered Lord Abbot with ease. “ If the information that you killed a female without a fair trial gets out then I am afraid the council will not sit back.”

Logan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Lord Abbot and gritted his teeth so hard that Levy heard his teeth creak. “I see”
