Ashley was too broken from remembering her painful ordeal. This was something she had kept inside, the reason she was finding it hard to mate Idris, though he was the rightful owner.
The pain of that ordeal was just unbearable. After something like that had been squashed in the open, she could not say she was ashamed, since she did it to save the life of those girls but could also not say that she was proud of how she lost her virginity.
Words failed her as she stared at the woman in front of her. "Let me ask you a question," Ashley spoke with a faraway look in her eyes.
"If it had been proven that I was guilty of what you accused me of, would you have allowed me to live?"
Shame dominated Mahira's expressions. The pack members were already against her and her witnesses looked soulless.
"I…" she was about to speak when Alpha Idris cut in.
