My Mate is a Monster

Chapter 12

Sera's POV

I mentally punched myself as I sat in a prison cell. I should've known that we would get caught. This was the most powerful pack in the world, obviously they would find a werewolf who couldn't shift in public and another wolf who had a black eye and some broken bones.

"I'm so stupid," I ran a hand through my hair and leaned back against the wall. The cold stones were uncomfortable against my back and the dripping ceiling was slowly creating a puddle on the floor.

The guards outside of my cell looked at me with humor in their eyes. I guess they thought it was funny to see their luna in the prison, looking like she had just been through a tornado.

"I'm so dumb, dumb, dumb," I sang and waved my feet and hands around like a little kid. I think I was going insane from being in such a small room for such a long time. 

"Luna," I heard a guard from the outside say. "The alpha wants to see you and the other wolf. He said to not try to run because he will find you and uhm..." He ran a hand through his hair. "Punish you." His face showed his awkwardness at saying something that suggested something sexual.

"Fine," I knew he would be incredibly angry, but at the same time, I wanted to see him. I pushed myself up and wiped down my pants. I walked outside of the cell door and 4 guards flanked me as we walked down the hall. "Can't believe that he would make 4 massive mountains to follow me when I can't even leave anywhere without an alarm going off."

The guards chuckled, but still continued to guide me towards a large room. When we finally went into the room, I gasped at how large it was. The ceiling looked like it went on forever and the whole room was covered in dark grey stone. There were no windows, but the room was surprisingly still bright. A large table was in front of 3 large chairs, the middle one on a pedestal. There was a plank in the middle which had restraints and a guard tied me to it. He tightened the restraints on my ankles and sat me up.

"He'll be here in a few seconds, luna," he then leaned in closer and whispered in my ear. "Might not want to make him angry. He almost blew up the whole house when he found out you were gone." Guiltiness filled my heart as I thought about how he must've felt when I left with another man.

I saw Nate walk in, along with his beta, and 2 men who were probably his delta and gamma. He took a glance at me, and I could see the anger and disappointment in his eyes as he made eye contact with me. After they all sat down, they all looked towards Nate, waiting for their alpha to make the first move.

"Sera Carson, you have been accused of abandoning your pack and leaving the territory without permission. Do you plead guilty?" Nate looked at me as he questioned me.

"Yes," I looked down at my legs and cringed. I was embarrassed, and it was all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to leave, I'm an idiot, and I will listen to what Nate says from now on. I didn't exactly want to enjoy his company, considering the fact that he had made out with another girl a few days ago, but I wanted to see him happy.

"Well, because of these charges, you will have to stay in lock down until I say," Nate declared. "Another infraction will make me make you wear a collar and stay in a cell." He then waved his beta, delta, and gamma off, and once they left, he walked up to me.

"Nate I-"

"Shh," he cut me off. "You've been a bad, bad girl." He stroked my cheek and looked down at me.

"Nate," I finally remembered what I should've asked him. "Where's Dylan? Is he getting punished or...?"

"The rogue," Nate had a disgusted look on his face. "He was executed."
