Chapter 43: Trial In The Moonstone Hall

The reverberating echoes of footsteps on the stone floor was palpable, as several Alphas' made their way to the moonstone hall. They passed by massive stone pillars, dressed in their finest attires as though it were an invitation to an evening ceremony.

For many, this was a first-time invitation to the palace, a privilege reserved for those who had earned a certain standing among their packs. One noble Alpha couldn't help but shoot a disdainful glance at the stunning stained glass window, where sunlight poured in, his expression soured by the prospect of facing Illyria's entire Alpha community.

He saw this gathering as an opportunity to identify a vulnerable Alpha, one whose pack he could later claim as his own to expand his dominion. This potential gain, along with the alarming rumors of demon shifters resurfacing, had persuaded him to attend the meeting.
