{ Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Lena and Billy have betrayed not just me , but all of you . They have turned against their own family , the pack that gave them a place to belong . Their crimes are serious kidnapping and arson . They didnt just hurt one person ; they put the lives of everyone here at risk . Their actions were selfish and cruel , and they could have cost lives . But today , they will face the consequences of their choices . Justice will be served , and they will pay the price for what they have done . The crowd roared in agreement , their anger palpable . Branwen stepped forward then , his expression cold and unyielding . He locked eyes with Lena , his voice steady as he spoke . I , Branwen , reject the te bond with you , Lena . Lena let out a strangled cry , clutching her chest as she fell to her knees . The pain of the broken mate bond was visible on her face , tears streaming down her cheeks . No ! Branwen , please ! Dont do this ! she begged , her voice trembling . But Branwen didnt falter . He turned away from her , his decision final . Silas allowed the moment to sink in before speaking again . Lena and Billy are hereby exiled from the Snowtooth Pack . From this moment on , they are no longer under our protection . Let this serve as a warning to anyone who dares to harm our family . The crowd erupted in cheers , their voices echoing through the square . I watched as Lena and Billy were dragged away , their faces filled with shame and fear . A sense of satisfaction coursed through me , but deep down , I knew this wasnt the end . I turned to Branwen , my voice quiet but firm . I need you to do something for me . What is it ? he asked , his expression cautious . Send someone to follow them , I said . I want to know where they go and what they do . I need to make sure they dont cause more trouble . Branwen hesitated , his eyes searching mine . Are you sure about this ? Youve already been through enough . Im sure , I said , my determination unwavering . He nodded reluctantly . Ill arrange for someone to keep an eye on them . As we made our way back to the hospital , my body was exhausted , but my mind was racing . This was just the beginning . Lena and Billys exile was justice , but it wasnt enough . I wasnt done with them yet . Lenas POV We were dragged out of the Snowtooth Pack by the Gamma Warriors , their grip on us firm and unyielding . Billy walked beside me , his head hanging low , his small steps unsteady . My wrists were sore from the cuffs biting into my skin , and my heart burned with a mix of anger and humiliation . As we passed through the packs main street , I glanced around at the faces staring back at us . They looked at me with hatred and satisfaction , as though they had won some great victory . I hated them all , but one face stood out Lorelei . She stood at the edge of the crowd , her arms crossed and a smug smile plastered on her face . It was a look of pure arrogance , a proud and provocative grin meant to taunt me . That was the last straw . I stopped walking and broke free from my restraints , fueled by rage . I lunged at her , my hands reaching out to grab her and teach her a lesson shed never forget . 12:35 Alphas Regret : Magnificent Return of the Rejected Luna 88.2 % Chapter 46 You think youve won ? I shouted . This is all your fault , Lorelei ! If it werent for you , Billy and I wouldnt be here ! Before I could get close , Branwen stepped in front of her . His movements were quick , almost too fast to see , and he grabbed my wrists , twisting them behind my back with ease . Dont even think about it , he warned , his voice low and threatening . The pressure he applied to my wrists made it clear he wasnt playing around . I let out a frustrated growl , struggling against his grip , but it was no use . His strength was far greater than mine . Lorelei didnt say a word , but her smug smile remained as she stood behind Branwen , completely untouched by my outburst . That smile made my blood boil even more . The Gamma Warriors quickly regained control , pulling me away from Branwen and forcing me to move forward . Isot Lorelei one last glare before turning my head . This wasnt over . By the time we reached the borderline of the Snowtooth Pack , the sun had long since disappeared behind the mountains . Darkness had settled over the forest , and the chill of the night seeped into my bones . The Gamma Warriors didnt say a word as they shoved us forward , their duty complete . They turned and left without a second glance , leaving Billy and me alone in the wilderness .
