David lost it. He ran at her like a wild wolf that had been cornered, grabbing her throat with his fingers and slamming her into a pillar.
“Shut your filthy mouth, you lowborn dog! Get out of here!”
Several Blue Moon guards rushed into the hall in a flash. They tackled David to the ground and pulled Ella away to safety. “Alpha David, you are under arrest for trying to kill someone.”
Another pair of guards moved towards Ella at the same time.
“You are also suspected of poisoning.” You have to come with us.
Ella’s eyes got bigger in shock as she turned to Zane in disbelief.
Zane quietly picked up a crystal wine glass from the table and held it up to her as a toast.
I saw everything. When I looked at Zane, my breath caught in my chest.
“Was all this… What are you doing?”
Zane nodded right away.
“Anyone who’s hurt you will pay the price,” he said softly.
My chest felt warm. So this was what it felt like to be safe.
As David was pulled away, he yelled to me, broken and desperate. “Sophia, I’m sorry.” Please, can you ever forgive me?”
I turned to look at him, and for the first time, my heart was completely still.
“David, I forgive you. But not because I still care about you. “I forgive you because the past doesn’t matter to me anymore.”
I held my mate certificate over my head and smiled.
“Now I know what a real mate certificate looks like. Bye.
Then I turned and reached out my hand to Zane, who was waiting for it.
This time, I would grab my happiness with both hands.
