Chapter 232
All eyes fall on me. I move to the front and Aubrey looks at me confused, wondering why I am questioning her, but my question isn’t for her. It’s for Rhett.
Magnus nods and I step forward and turn my attention to Rhett. He glares at me waiting.
“Why did you decide to take Bianca as your Luna when Aubrey was your mate?” he smirks, thinking he is hurting Aubrey. She doesn’t even pay him any mind, instead I feel her eyes boring into me.
“Originally, I planned on seducing her and winning her over, knowing I would get control of her pack through bonding, and the docks. Then I learned she was my mate, so I was going to make her my Luna.” Bianca whimpers hearing this. I get no reaction through the bond from Aubrey, for which I am glad knowing she feels nothing for this man in front of me.
“Why didn’t you mate and mark her?”
“She was a fucking prude for one and wanted to save herself for the wedding night.” he scoffs and shakes his head.
“So because she wouldn’t sleep with you, you were going to reject her?”
“No, I had other means to entertain myself. I decided I would reject her when I found out she stole the money I owed you and the council for covering the fines. Had she not stolen it, we may not be here right now. I never would have lost control

of the ports.” He glares at Aubrey, baring his canines at her. “She fucking ruined everything. I fucking loved you, but your had to go fucking steal from me!” Aubrey scoffs, and shakes. her head.
“But she didn’t steal from you, did she, Bianca?” I tell him. before turning my attention to Bianca, who shrinks in her
seat.
“Who stole the money, Bianca?” I ask her, knowing she won’t be able to lie. She grits her teeth.
“I stole the money.” she answers. And Rhett can only stare at her before glancing at Aubrey, and I keep going.
“What happened to the money you stole?” she cringes, and Rhett glares daggers at her when she answers.
“I gave it to my mother, who in turn lent it back to Rhett to pay the fines.” Aubrey chuckles behind me.
“Nothing like giving up the love of your life for the whore of the night.” Aubrey laughs, and she steps down from the wooden podium, while I return my attention to Rhett, who looks like his entire world just crumbled more now than it did when the trial was going.
“You were right to reject her, Rhett. The Kingdom thanks you dearly for making her run into my arms.” I tell him, reaching for Aubrey, she sets her hand in mine and I pull her closer, sweeping her hair from her neck, so he can see my mark on her neck.
“She was never meant to be your Luna, she is meant to be my Queen. You helped take my first mate from me, but karma has a way of making things even by giving me yours.” I tell him,

and the miserable look on his face tells me he now regrets everything he did to her. With that, I turn to leave while Magnus decides their fate, when Aubrey hesitates, I pause to find her looking at Magnus.
“Your honor, I do have a request when you’re deliberating.”
“Deliberations won’t take long my Queen, now it’s just deciding how they are executed, there is no doubt they are guilty.” Magnus tells her.
“I know that, that is what my request is about.” Magnus stares at her then nods for her to continue.
“Clyde, do as you will, but with Rhett.” She turns to look at him, and he stares at her, and I can see he is hoping his old bond will save him. “Let my King handle his death. There have been enough rumors about my relationship with the King, and Rhett. Public execution will bring more about. We’d rather handle this in–house if possible. Without the media attention. Perhaps the council can say his death was swift given his crimes.” she tells him.
