Book 2. His Found Lyoan Luna. Chapter 20
Denali and Mr. Crux talk amongst themselves while Cassandra digs her smokes out of her leather jacket.
“How could you, after everything you did to her?” | ask Cassandra. She pops her hip, lighting a smoke
before stepping closer
“My husband is dead because of her. Your mate killed him. I now have to raise my kids without their
father because of that bitch,” Cassandra spits at me. I growl, my canines slipping past my gums as anger
courses through me. She turned to face the council members who were whispering amongst themselves
behind me.
“She still commanded them, but I have one more question before we proceed.” I turn my head, and he
steps closer.
“Did you know it was against the law to break a mate bond against their will?” Denali asks. My brows
furrow, wondering why he was asking, yet the urge to answer hit me instantly.
“Yes,” I breathe.
“And you still did it?” Denali asks.
“He was hurting her, so yes,”
“Well then, regardless of whether the King commanded you, you knew better. Being his mate, you are
capable of fighting his commands, therefore will be held accountable,” Cassandra smirks at his words
puffing on her cigarette.
“What are they going to do to me?” I asked Mr. Crux, who was still standing beside me. Though I already
knew by the whip in Kendricks’s hand. My heart raced a little faster when Mr. Crux started ripping the

back of my dress open.
“You broke a sacred law, you may be the King’s Mate, but you abused your authority, so you will be
punished. 1000 lashes, or until Cassandra deems fit,” he chucklės. “About time the King is held
accountable for errors,” Mr.Crux sneered. I swallowed and chuckled.
“Silly girl, just because you’re the King’s mate, that doesn’t give you the power to break the law,”
“He was abusing her,” I scream at him.
“And where is your proof?” Mr. Crux demands.
“Ask me, or is your truth serum not 100 percent,” I spat back at him. He grips my chin, pinching it tightly.
“Truth or not, you broke the law. We uphold it. We were looking for a reason to take him down, but if we
can’t, you will do,” he laughed.
“Coward,” I laughed. Mr. Crux grips my hair, yanking my head back painfully.
“Oh, Kendrick will. He won’t hold back, not after the king took his sight,” I swallow, and my breathing
becomes a little harsher.
“Your people are coming. Tell them who you are. It will buy you some time, I didn’t want to risk but we
have no choice”
“What?”
“Your parents-” I didn’t get a chance to listen to what he said when I felt the crack of the whip bite into my
flesh, making me scream, hooks slashed up my spine and dug into my shoulder, and my scream was
deafening when he ripped them out.
My knees buckle underneath me. My blood sprays across those on the other side of the fence when all
hell breaks loose. Kade’s pack starts running toward the fence, suddenly trying to get in. My knees
dragged across the ground from the force of the gate being pushed inward. I couldn’t see past them to
see what was happening and didn’t care when the whip tore into me again.
Gunshots rang out, and I hung limply in handcuffs, my wrist bent backward painfully and on the verge of
snapping under my weight. I feel the barbs tear out of my skin, ripping my flesh away. My head hung
limply, and all I could think about was the pain radiating through my back when someone’s head was
shoved through the iron-barred gates beside me. I blink deliriously, finding it odd. How did it fit through
the bars?
Screams rang out loudly, but all I could do was blink at the man’s head stuck between the bars. It took
me a few
moments to realize he only had a torso, from the waist down was missing. My head rolls to the side, and
I see the men in armor backing up, guns trained down the driveway as they fire. I thought my eyes were
deceiving me when I watched around 50 Lycans ripping into Kade’s pack members and the council’s
men, ripping them limb from limb. People running everywhere to escape.
I couldn’t tear my gaze away from the horrors on the other side of the gate, my eyes wide, and I felt sick
to my stomach. I could hear screaming, and I turned my head to find it was Cassandra. Her hands
cupped her mouth as she watched her pack getting torn to shreds. Suddenly I dropped to the ground,
and I didn’t even realize someone was uncuffing me. My body was limp as I stared around at the
slaughter. Hands grab me ripping me against someone’s chest. My back arches as I try to get the
pressure away from my back.
Seconds later, the iron gates burst open, and I had a knife pressed to my throat by the person holding
me as the Lycans stalked into the castle grounds.

I was vaguely aware of Kyson talking to me, yet I could not understand what he was trying to tell me.

“Get the car ready?” Denali says. The Lycans circle us before dropping on their knees around us. The
whole thing was surreal as I looked around, trying to figure out what was happening, when I noticed
Dustin roll as he started to wake.
“Take so much as one step toward us, and I will kill her. You have all just interfered with the council.
There are severe penalties for obstructing justice.” Denali says, walking past me to address the Lycan’s
kneeling. They growi and snarl, watching him. But the council members were all Lycan, and I felt his aura
demand them to submit, forcing them to remain where they were.
“Now, I am willing to let this slide, so back up,” Denali ordered.
“She may be King Kyson’s Queen, but she will be held accountable for her actions,” Denali snarls and
Dustin laughs maniacally.
Denali turns his head to look at him as Dustin sits up, his arms still cuffed behind his back. He starts
ripping at his handcuffs, once twice, thrice, and I hear his wrists snap and shoulders dislocate before he
rolls his shoulders, bringing his hands around to the front. Kendrick runs at him, but Dustin moves
quickly, sweeping his legs out from under him and pivoting on his knee, so he was suddenly on
Kendricks’s back, his knee pressed to the back of the man’s neck.
“And who are you? Let Kendrick up now,” Mr.Crux growls, dropping me at Denali’s feet. Dustin rebreaks
his wrist before gripping Kendricks’s hair and ripping his head back.
“No, wrong question Denali. The question you should be asking is, who is Azalea? Does her name ring
any bells to you?” Dustin sneers.
