Episode 59.

Initially, Elena was curious, wondering what Elisa had done to deserve such treatment. However, when she noticed the dungeon key on the ground in front of Elisa, panic set in.

Upon spotting the key on the floor, she realized the issue at hand - Elisa had been caught attempting to feed Mula. Dean had already dealt with her sternly, leaving her little hope of freedom anytime soon.

"Ah, my dear! Welcome to our midst," Dean greeted her joyfully as she entered the hall, motioning for her to sit beside him on the throne set aside for the Luna.

To avoid suspicion, Elena feigned surprise and confusion as she took her seat next to Dean as he had indicated.

"What's happening with my serving omega?" She inquired, casting a serious glance at Dean as she settled into the throne. Dean gently passed little baby Junior to her, and she accepted the infant with care.

Dean rose from his seat and descended to the floor, where all attention was now on him.

Initially focusing on his Luna, he approached Elisa and seized her by the hair, pulling her up from the ground.

"Ugh!" Elisa groaned in pain, breathing heavily and casting a desperate look at Elena, who was unsure of what to do.

"My Luna, as I mentioned, someone has been sneaking food to the prisoner. I am certain it is someone close, as the key vanished from my drawer without a trace. It had to be someone with access to our chambers!" he declared, releasing Elisa, who tumbled to the ground.

It seemed like they had beaten her to the point where she couldn't even stand on her own anymore.

"Just yesterday night, I caught her sneaking food to my prisoner! Sneaking food to the alpha who stole my Luna away from me! Someone I intended to starve to death!" He announced, his voice laced with anger, leaving everyone silent and unable to offer any words of comfort.

Issues like this had always been recurring in this pack, a cycle where one could be laughing at another today and find themselves in a similar situation tomorrow. One might believe they are too loyal to be caught in such compromising actions publicly, but the reality was that Alpha Dean would kill without reason. Elisa's case was somewhat unique; she was at least found guilty of something, unlike those who had been killed before without justification, merely for a minor mistake in their duties.

"When I caught her, I interrogated her relentlessly," Dean said, his voice low and intense. "I wanted her to confess that she wasn't working alone, and she finally cracked under the pressure." Elena's breathing grew heavier, as if she was reliving the moment.

She already knew the confession Elisa will make without her uttering a word yet. However, how could she reveal it so easily? Elena could have played her part to ensure no harm would befall her. Yet now, she had made matters worse by disclosing to Dean what she was not supposed to discuss.

Upon hearing Dean's words, Elena's eyes met Elisa's, and they communicated silently. From the unspoken conversation in their eyes, Elena could sense that Elisa had no other choice.

Elena then swallowed nervously, casting her gaze downward in a sigh of relief. She glanced at Dean, whose judgment lingered.

"She claimed she had accomplices who conspired against me, and to my surprise, it was someone unexpected!" Dean remarked, shifting his gaze to Elena, who met his eyes boldly. She realized this was not the moment to succumb to panic, so she stood her ground.

"My Luna!" He exclaimed, pointing at Elena, leaving the entire pack in astonishment. This marked the first instance of Dean's Luna attempting to harm him instead of standing by his side to mistreat the omegas, causing further suffering within the pack.

"My Luna was involved in the conspiracy against me!" He exclaimed, scanning the hall before fixing his eyes back on Elena.

"And I ask you, Elena! Is that true?" He inquired, prompting Elena to shake her head vigorously in denial.

"No! That's not true! My alpha, you know I would never betray you! How could I turn against the alpha who rescued me from pain and elevated me to glory! She's lying!" Elena refuted, her voice tinged with panic as she pointed accusingly at Elisa.

Elisa was taken aback by the outright denial of her actions, realizing she had no escape. Despite her shock, Olivia understood that Dean had solid evidence against her from their encounter the previous night. She stood there, knowing she couldn't deny the truth.

But suddenly after Elena finished making her statement, Dean nodded in agreement.

"Exactly! I knew she was lying" Dean shouted pointing at Elisa.

"She was only trying to frame my Luna for her evil deeds. My Luna, whom I know would never think of hurting me," he announced. Everyone was taken aback by his sudden change in demeanor upon hearing Elena's denial.

Even Elena herself was surprised; she had thought she was already doomed, which led her to deny Elisa in such a manner. Unfortunately, the Alpha heeded her words, causing Elisa to panic, realizing that her punishment would not be an easy one.

"As you can see, sons and daughters of this pack, she betrayed us and then attempted to frame the Luna on top of her betrayal. For this, she will be sentenced to death," he announced, leaving Elisa wide-eyed and open-mouthed in shock as she stared at Elena, who was already looking back at her.

Elisa began to panic deeply, tears streaming down her face as her body visibly shook.

"She will be executed at dawn tomorrow. This will serve as a warning to all of you, to anyone who dares to go against my will," he declared before walking away angrily, leaving Elisa crying out for mercy.

"Please, my Alpha, have mercy on me. Please do not let me perish like this. I beg you," she pleaded through tears, desperately calling for mercy. However, he did not even look back, let alone listen to her pleas.

While he walked away the other guards grabbed Elisa's hand, started dragging her to the cell where she would stay until morning, when she would be executed.

"No! My Luna, please have mercy on me! Help me beg the alpha to forgive me!" Elisa kept screaming, calling out to Elena for help as they took her away.

Elena could only watch, feeling helpless as tears welled up in her eyes. She struggled to hold back her sobs, unable to believe that she had betrayed someone who had placed their trust in her. Denying Elisa felt like a heavy burden on her heart, filling her with guilt. She never imagined a day like this would come, and it saddened her deeply.

At The Dungeon.

Mula sensed the impending doom as he paced restlessly in his cell. Suddenly, the dungeon door creaked open, sparking his curiosity about the newcomer.

To his surprise, it was Elisa being escorted into the hall. He observed intently as she was led to a neighboring cell and locked inside. Helpless, he could only watch, wishing he could offer assistance.

As the guards departed, leaving Elisa weeping on the cold stone floor, Mula felt a pang of guilt. He struggled to find the right words, eventually mustering, "I'm sorry. This is all my fault," as he met her tear-filled gaze.

"You have nothing to apologize for. Tomorrow, I face death regardless," Elisa replied resignedly, her eyes fixed on the ground.

Mula sat besides her, sharing in her despair. He couldn't make false promises of rescue, knowing his own fate hung in the balance.
