Melissa's POV

The crowd was restless and unnerved. Their Alpha had returned  and they were worried by the emergency meeting. I got several apologies while waiting for Ryan to come out, and I got endless hugging and kissing from my mother.

I briefly explained to Carter and her, what had happened though, they didn't completely understand, and who can blame them, neither did I.

"I'm so sorry, sweetie. I didn't mean a thing of it! I love you so damn much!" My mother said for the tenth time. I smiled and kissed her cheek.

"It's okay mom, you didn't have control."

Before either of us can say anything more, Ryan stepped on stage.

"People! I've called you here today for a very important reason!" He said skipping the formalities and cutting right to the chase. I could tell from our bond that he was fuming rage.

"I would like to call Victor, father of Derek to the stage!" I glanced around until I saw him rise from the back of the crowd and make his way towards the stage.

"Your son is accused and proven to have used weremagic on my mate, my pack and on the natural elements." There was a silence in the crowd. Everyone sat their numb, not many people knew what weremagic was, but the atmosphere made it impossible not to know that it was something severe and not to be taken lightly.

Victor looked beyond shocked. I didn't take my eyes away from him. I had to look for any clue that he knew. He looked puzzled and confused until finally acceptances dawned on him.

"All I can ask for is his life. Please spare him such. He is my only son, I beg of you Alpha, please, do not kill him." I felt my heart go for Victor at that moment, though I didn't trust him completely what with his son being a wackjob, I felt pity towards the father begging for his son's life.

"You do not deny such accusations?" Ryan asked, completely hard and cold.

"No, Alpha. I've had my suspicions for a while, I just never knew of what exactly. But it makes sense now." Victor said, bowing his head to Ryan.

Ryan turned to face me.

"I call my mate, Melissa to the stage." I rose from my seat, feeling anything but powerful like a luna should. I felt like crawling under a rock and staying there in order to get away from all of this attention

"Luna, I ask you what Derek's treason should be." I swallowed loudly before looking at Victor, at the already hurt man who was being faced with loosing his son, and it was for him that I said the next words. None the less, the hatred I had for Derek, I did this for Victor, the man that treated my mother kindly and made her smile.

"I decree Derek banned from this pack and town and be stripped of all weremagic tools and ressources. This shall be in action by the end of the day." I said, looking at the thankful look in Victor's eyes.

"Thank you, Luna." He said bowing his head. Ryan placed a warm,strong hand on my shoulder.I looked to my side to see Ryan, smiling sadly at me. I love this man so much, after our reunion, he stormed downstairs with me in tow and started his intervention on Derek. He was ruthless and dark.... and it was damn sexy. A little scary but very sexy.

" You can continue living with us if you wish, but I'm sorry. Derek will never be able to walk onto this land again." I whispered to him, for our ears only.

Ryan , with me standing in front of him, his hands on my hips, he explained to the pack what exactly it was that happened.

They were more the shocked, and even more angrier. No one liked being manipulated, and they angry that one wolf had the ability to do such.

Point is, they would've started a riot directed completely at Derek if it wasn't for Ryan for keeping everyone in tact.

Once the meeting was done, Victor approached me.

"I have a solution to rid Derek of the magic. My family has kept an herb book, nothing magical just a few healing remedies and in it, involves a remedy to rid a wolf of magic. It dates back to millenniums ago, but I can still make it." He said, sad but, loyal to his new pack.

"I think that would be wise, thank you." I said, before he left towards our house.

I got plenty of apologies frompeople, which took great courage because Ryan and Carter did not leave my side the whole entire time and for my pack mates to come and admit that they were nasty to me infront of Ryan was practically suicide. But he said nothing,and I accepted their apologies gratefully.

Once Ryan excused himself for a second, Carter pulled me in for a hug that I swear, bruised my ribs.

"I am so sorry! Please forgive me?" She asked- like my mother- for the tenth time. I laughed and nodded animatedly.

"Of course I forgive you! It wasn't your fault and I know that now!" I said. Hugging her.

That night, we- being Ryan, Victor and I- went down to the cells where Derek was being held.

The exchanges between Derek and Victor  were not a sight to see, but with one final glance at me, Derek ripped the vial from Victor's hand and downed it before turning his back to us and laying down to sleep. We had explained everything to Derek and he only nodded and waited for his father to speak. Andrew was no where to be found, probably some where with his mate, Ashley. And who could blame him, he had done enough for us, now it was our turn.

"Get him out of pack lands." Ryan said, and that was the last time I saw Derek,

He said nothing to me, but his looks and stares during those finale minutes.

And I couldn't help but feel immense relief and exhaustion swoop over me as I passed out right there in Ryan's arms.
