ASHANTI'S POV.

I watch in horror as the unsmiling female guard approaches me. My breaths are coming in too hard and I nearly pass out the moment she stands in front ofwith her gaze boring into holes into my face. She's one of the many Pack subjects who hate me. I shoot a nervous glance at Alpha Reagan and see that his search has already begun.

"Can I?" The woman standing in front ofasks and I turn to her. I swallow dryly, nod my head in agreement and step forward.

"Lift your arms, please." I do just that. I stretch my arms wide by my side and a shiver vibrates throughwhen she places hands on the side of my ribs and starts to patdownwards. The dress I'm wearing is an off shoulder gown that hugs my body to the level of my waist and and continues with a high split flay and flushes on the floor. The design of the dress is a bit complicated, but searchingwill be easy and it's just a matter of seconds before she's...

A strange feeling at the right hip snapsout of my thoughts and I look down to see what she's doing. "What's this?" She asks, looking up atand my eyes go to what she's pointing at. It's a small split at the level of the region where the flayed part of the dress starts.

"I... I don't know. I haven't even noticed that before." My voice is hoarse and I've begun to panic.

I didn't notice that split before. I didn't even look at the dress because I was so upset that Lizzy was insistent onwearing it.

"Haven't you?" Her voice is masked with disbelief. I shriek in fright when I feel her fingers dig into the split. My eyes widen when I realise what it is. It's not a split, but a pocket. A real tiny pocket that's easy to miss. With my heart in my throat, I watch the woman pull out a tiny black plastic bag from the pocket and plants her gaze on me.

"What's this?" She asks, bringing the plastic up to my face so I can get a proper view of it.

"I don't know." I'm shaking my head like a lizard, scared to the bone. "I swear I don't know what that is. I have no idea how it got into my dress." My voice is a nervous shaky mess. The look of total disbelief on the woman's face makes my heart race even harder.

What's going on here? "I found something." She announces to everyone as she turns to face them, holding up the tiny plastic bag. "What's that?" Alpha Reagan asks as he approaches her.

"That's what I'm about to find out." She brings it closer to her nostrils and I nearly faint when she quickly throws it away after sniffing and takes several steps away from it with horror-filled eyes. "Wolfsbane!" The entire room is filled with gasps from the others, including myself as everyone takes several steps away from the spot where the plastic has been thrown.

"What the hell do you mean?" Alpha Reagan questions as he walks towards the plastic. Without any fear in the world, he picks up the plastic and sniffs it. The look on his face tellsit's exactly what the woman had said it was. He drops it on the floor and takes a step back.

"How... how..." "She's the culprit!" Mr. Williams starts screaming again, this taround, pointing atwith so much anger. "Seize her! She poisoned my daughter!" "This is nonsense!" Alpha Reagan roars in fury and everyone goes mute. His heated gaze drops on my face before flickering to the angry looking old man standing below. There's smoke coming out of his ears and he looks like he's going to combust any second from now.

This is that bad feeling I had.

"It's impossible for Ashanti to have done this because she has been at my place for the past few days. She has had no access to the outside world! There's no way she could have acquired wolfsbane and planned to do this. This is preposterous!" Alpha Reagan defendsand my heart nearly bursts with emotions. My mate is defendingagainst all these people.

Tears are running down my cheeks like raindrops during a storm. The hatred I see in the eyes of the people staring back atspeaks directly to my bones. My hands won't stop shaking. My forehead is beaded with sweat.

"There's nothing preposterous about this situation." Mr. William counters, taking a step forward. "My daughter, Alina is pregnant for you, meaning she is a threat to this girl standing before us therefore she was ready to do anything to get rid of my daughter just so she can keep her place."

"Please stop! That's not true!" I shout out in tears. "I have no idea how that on m thing got into my dress. Please., hrush to Reagan and go down on my knees, holding his pants tight and sobbing like a child as I look up at him. "Please you have to believe me. I didn't do it. You know I would never do a thing like that. I'm not a murderer!" "My Lord." Someone calls from the door and we all turn to look. My soul leaves my body when my eyes fall on two guards dragging Lizzy to the front.
