The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 204

“Finn. FINN!” I shout to get his attention. I will not release my aura,but I can help him if he listens quickly. His painfilled eyes look into mine. It’s the same pain I saw in Kennedy’s the night I found her frozen half to death in the woods. Resigned to the pain, welcoming it like a friend. Your mate is accused of crimes against my pack and yours. She will be brought to trial and found guilty from my pack, can yours say the same?”

He is in too much pain to answer. I need someone to speak up for him. They have to accuse her. I look trying to make contact with anyone.

“Yes! Yes she is guilty!” A woman at the edge of the crowd shouts. “She promised to help us after our pack was destroyed. After we pledged loyalty, we were left to starve if we did not help her gain access to your pack. We have helped attack innocent people. Do what you want with her.” The woman spits. “But leave Finn be. He has always taken care of us, gone without food so we can have enough. Gone against her wishes when she wanted us punished.”

“Finn, you have the right to reject your mate. She will die, and we can save you the pain of feeling her death.”

“I..I can….I can’t…she’s my mate, I can’t” He cries.

“Finn…” Kennedy whispers. “Please Finn. Please let her go. Let us help you, help your pack.” She is shaking, and then I smell the salt from her tears. Her pain is palpable through our bond, but unlike Amy, she is trying to shield me from it. She wants to save him, to save them all.

“I can’t Luna. She’s my mate, my only mate…”

“I rejected you as my mate.” Finn sobs out.

Amy screams again. “Nnnnoooo! I won’t let you. Not until Ryker accepts me. I will not be mateless.”

“You already are.” Kennedy growls out and lets he aura flare. “Accept. His. Rejection.” For the first time since this whole exchange began, Kennedy steps out of my arms and I don’t hesitate to release her. I’m not afraid for her, no one here can hurt her, not even Amy.
