Chapter 5
Winona’s POV
I experienced a rush of emotions upon hearing what he said. Depression, disappointment, rage, and dissatisfaction. I squeezed my hands into fists due to the overwhelming, sticky sensation of blood between my fingertips.
What was wrong with me? Simply put, I was attempting to save the girl who had been the object of my mate’s obsession. Isabella would still have been spared if I had a second chance since it was my obligation as Luna.
Is it a mistake to protect my pack member?
“No… I didn’t do anything wrong,” I clenched my fists and mumbled. I felt worn out, defeated, and broken.
“How could you so quick to accuse me? We’re mate, and you know the truth! You know everything! Why are you so doubtful of me?”
He may defend Isabella by using his position as Alpha. But he was unwilling to reveal the truth to back me.
“A lady with the devil’s mark is no longer deserving of being my mate and Luna, am I right, Winona? “A
The typical cool indifference in Benjamin’s words and face was replaced by utter loathing. Each word became a pair of blades that pierced my heart and soul.
Almost instantly I understood his intention.

He knew the truth and he knew I’m innocent. He only intended to take advantage of the chance to deprive me of my authority and status as Luna.
“I, Benjamin Crimson….”
My stomach sunk as soon as he started to speak.
“As the Alpha of the Lock Heart Pack, would like to reject Winona Granger as my mate and my Luna. She is no longer my mate as of this moment and she is no longer expected to be treated with the same respect as the Luna by all wolves.”
I wanted to crumple to the ground as he finished. With a wave of his hand, two warriors came forward and seized my arms, dragging me away from Benjamin.
My soul suddenly felt torn and emptied out. Benjamin’s rejection felt as if something was forcibly stripped from me. I clenched my jaw, riding the waves of pain and agony, and I realized what Sebastian had said was right.
I was foolish to even attempt to please Benjamin. He could never be pleased by me. My mate hate me!
After finishing his sentence, Benjamin glared ferociously at me, “Bring her to the jail and put her away. Later, we’ll determine what to do with her.
Two more warriors came toward me, each wearing chains and a metal collar. As they approached nearer, I noticed them hesitating, and I began to snarl my laughter.
The warriors | trained were these ones. I was in charge of instructing and guiding them for all those years because I was
Luna. I served as both their Luna and their leading Gamma.

When the situation suddenly changed, they were clearly unsure of what to do.
I moved closer to them while observing the warriors flinch and retreat a short distance.
One of them said nervously, “Luna. Winona, I mean, don’t get any closer. I do believe you, I don’t want to cause you any pain.”
When I moved a step more, the warrior was unable to
complete his thought. He quickly backed off when he realized he couldn’t chain me up.
I laughed uncontrollably. Pathetic. Despite the fact that I had given Alpha Benjamin my all, he treated me worse than these
common warriors.
When I extended my hand, they gave me a bewildered
expression. But the warrior understood when I pointed to the chains. I started to bind myself after snatching the collar and chains out of his hands. My flesh was touched by cold metal, and then flames rushed through my body. I gritted my teeth and endured the discomfort.
“Go on and drag me to jail.” I said flatly.
I gave Benjamin one last glance before turning to leave. No one understood the prison’s location better than me after ten years of protecting it. When I took the lead, the warriors paused before starting to follow.
I continued heading toward my captivity. I knew if I protested, Alpha Benjamin would grab me and beat me, which would only raise problems for my dear warriors. What’s more, my wounds were very bad. I was no longer strong enough to put

I was prepared to accept my destiny. I had lost both my life and my mate. But it seemed like I never had his love anyway.
The typical 40–minute walk to the prison took me an hour due to my weariness and wounds. 1 entered the detention cell as instructed by the warriors, stumbling to find a seat on the chilly floor.
When they shut the cell door, blackness engulfed the entire world.
“Good to see you, Winona.”
Sebastian’s voice was suddenly sounded, seductive and ominous, like it was dripping with poisoned nectar.
But he gave me a gentle smile as a greeting. His powerful, towering figure was covered in scarlet robes. He was attractive and lethal, with a pointed jaw, narrow lips, and golden eyes.
“I knew you will come. I’ve been waiting for you a while.”
All of a sudden, his words made sense.
“You intentionally left the mark on me, didn’t you?”
“Winona,” he said, reaching out to stroke my cheek with his icy fingers. “You are so smart. I know from the start.”
“How dare you! What are you expecting from me?” I yanked my face away from his cold touch and scowled at him.
Sebastian chuckled. He sounded as though he was going insane. His aura gently encircled me like a soft embrace while

the noises reverberated off the walls.
“Winona, I want you.”

He abruptly stopped laughing, and I was unable to figure out what he was saying in his voice. Sebastian exhaled deeply.
“I’ve been stuck here for so long, and you’re the only one who has been with me.”
He spoke softly. He moved closer to me while inhaling deeply.
“I’ve been missing you. I want you to stay by my side always.”
What a strange man! Does he think that I will fall into his arms now that I am rejected by my mate?
I rose up and moved away from him by two steps. “I’m never going to be with you!” I almost screamed. “You’re the devil!”
He laughed louder, as if my statements were some stupid joke.
“A Devil?” I could see the glint of rage in Sebastian’s eyes as he sneered. His golden eyes were fixed on mine when all of a sudden he seized my arms and shoved me up against the wall
“Am I a devil by birth?”
