Once we all gave birth we were taken back to the pack. I was brought my two pups to nurse and brought the motherless pup. I nursed all three of them since I was producing a lot of milk.

The father was devastated to loose his mate. He started tracking down all the rogues scents who were on his mate. He brought back the wolf who had dipped a condom in silver and applied it to his mate. This wolf would be brought to pack justice Liam declared. "Now I  must go prepare my mate."

The day of the funeral everyone in the pack. Plus many other packs showed up. We all were wearing red robes. We had the young pups being watched by others. Alpha Jason stood at the front, "tonight we bid farewell to Luna Penny and the Moon Goddess will welcome her into her kingdom. We grieve as a pack as Alpha Liam mourns his mate." Alpha Liam walks foreword carrying Luna Penny in his arms. He lays her in a boat. Then pushes the boat off. Her parents and brother steps forward. They each pick up a bow and arrow. They light the arrow and shoot it into the air and it lands in the boat.

Then everyone starts to transform into their wolves and the robes fall to the ground. Liam and Penny's family starts to howl. Then gradually everyone join in. The howling continues into the night until the flame flickers out and the boat had been consumed in fire and sunk into the lake.

The other packs leave. All that is left is Moonscape Pack and Silversmith Pack. The wolves all go to the training ground and set up the gauntlet. There are 9 torturous obstacles. Each family whose mate was taken and raped was put in charge of that gauntlet obstacle. But they gathered around to watch each obstacle being done over the next few days.

THE REST OF THIS CHAPTER GOES INTO DETAIL ABOUT EACH TORTURE DEVICE [source: Medieval Times & Castles]. If you do not want to read about what was done just skip to the last paragraph of the chapter.)

The guards brought out the prisoners who actually were the three rogue guards. Plus Alice and Mackenzie.

They were brought to gauntlet device 1 which was the Pear of Anguish. (This was a pear-shaped device, with the body of the pear made up of four metal "leaves" joined by a hinge at its top, and a key or crank on one end. The pear was inserted into their anus the key was turned which opened the leaves, causing internal bleeding. This device was rarely fatal, but did bring on pain.) As the family in charge of this event turned the key you couldn't hear the wolf scream in pain. The silver collar they were wearing blocked them wolf from healing. Then the device was removed and the guards moved them to the next gauntlet device. The crowd followed. None were cheering like you see on tv. They stood there just glaring at the culprits who caused hurt to their pack member.

The second device was the Breast Ripper. (It was a metal claw that pierced the flesh of the breast or chest. The victim was tied to a wall, and then the claw pulled forcibly away, shredding their nipples to pieces.) They left the wolves tied up until the next morning. They knew they would go no place with the silver collar on them. The pack then laid down and slept until morning.

They woke the next morning and ate breakfast. Then went out to the wolves who were chained still to the wall with their silver collar. The silver  collar was remove, and they were given breakfast and they were allowed to heal for 30 minutes. The collar was replaced.

Then they moved to the third device which was the Scavenger's Daughter. (This apparatus consists of a hoop of iron with a hinge in the middle. The victim was forced to crouch on one half of the hoop while the other half was pivoted and placed over his back. (Imagine being placed into a giant set of iron dentures.) The family use a screw to tighten the hinge, crushing then involuntary into a crouch until they heard the spine being dislocated. Then they stopped. They took the silver collar off so their wolf could heal them. It took 2-3 hours to heal from the the devices used on them thus far.

Then they reapplies the collar and moved to the forth device, The pillory. (A pillory is a­ set of two parallel wooden boards clasped together, with holes for the neck and wrists. When opened, the victim places his or her head and arms through the holes. Then the pillory is closed, and the victim can't possibly escape. The pillory itself does no harm to the victim, though it's certainly not comfortable. The entire apparatus was usually placed on a stage in a public place -- the entire point was to humiliate and shame the victim for his or her crimes. The crowd would throw objects at the victim.) The family in charge of this event put on special gloves and threw silver rocks at them. The silver did leave burn marks where it hit the wolves. This was the most merciful of contraptions.

Then after grow hours of throwing silver at them. The pack broke to get lunch. Then they moved on to the 5th device. The family in charge of this lit charcoal on fire with silver rocks mixed in. They were forced to run across it and family members had sticks in their hands to hit them with. The end of their sticks had been dipped in silver.  They were force to run across it several times.

Then it was time to move to the 6th device. They were placed on a spinning wheel and family threw silver knives at them as they spun. They did place a shield over their vital organs so none could be accidentally killed at this point. Many silver coated knives hit them and left cuts. This event caused them to be extremely dizzy. The end of the day they were left on the wheel. When patrols ran by they would be spun.

They were once again uncollared for 30 minutes to heal and be given breakfast. Then the collar was put back on and was lead to the 7th device where they were dunked into water and electrical current was added enough to shock them and not kill them.

Then they were lead to the 8th device where they were chained to a wall and silver tipped whips were applied to them.

They were then given food and chance to heal overnight before they would be lead the next morning to the last device.  Which really was a boxing ring.

THIS IS THE LAST GAUNTLET OBSTACLE

The last gauntlet obstacle was a fighting ring.

The first fight was alpha to be John Smith of Silversmith against one rogue. He played with this rogue before he killed him. He then picked him up and carried him to the firepit and threw him in it. "You do not deserve an honorable ceremony." Then spit into the pit.

The second fight was Alpha Charlie Smith against the second rogue wolf. He was killed too and he then  hanged to his wolf form and peed on him. Then switched back to his human form. His mate walked over and transformed and to peed on him. They transformed back and John handed them robes. All other heads dropped to the ground. Then Charlie carried him and dropped him in the firepit and watched him burn.

The third fight was Mackenzie (whom had given birth and mate Jace had the pup in a prison cell at council) was fighting Luna Anne Smith. She too lost the fight but the Luna did not kill her. She instead had a witch strip all her power and ability to shift from her. She was left as a human and sent back to the council dungeon for a life sentence. Her essence was left in a jewel. She carried the jewel over to Alpha Quinn. "I heard you found your second chance mate. When you have girl pup please give this to that pup the day she turns. She will have the power of your exmates , but not the evilness. She had a couple talent powers that she never learned about. They would of come to light when she turned 25. Which we can be thankful she  never turned that age before this power was stripped from her."

The 4th was going to be be Luna Sophia against Luna Alice, but Alpha Dave ran up to the ring. He declared, "Luna Alice the title if Luna is here by stripped from you. I denounce you as Luna after you tried to kill the mother of our grandpups and sell our grandpups. You have all power stripped from you." The witch came foreword and stripped her powers. "I with the authority of the council no longer am mates with you. I pass on your strength and mine to our son Quinn. You see both of them clasp and she immediately died of a broken heart. He lays there broken.

Ashley runs to him and says, "please poppa Dave you have fight to live. Your grandpups will need you. I will need you." Then he blacks out.

Luna picked up Alice and turned to Quinn who was now now kneeling by his dad along with the pack doctor.  She ask him, "what do you want done with your mother."

Quinn replies, "She was not my mother. My mother was a Luna and this thing was disowned declared a rogue- burn her with the others."  He then accompany his dad to the pack hospital.

All that is left is the rogue who used a silver coated condom on Penny. Liam plays with this rouge for hours bringing him to brink of death and letting his wolf heals before playing again. Then the rogue said  "the bitch wasn't even that great a lay. I have had better. Your better off to find a new toy." Liam's eye went black and he kills him. He shredded the body

Liam roared, "leave him here for the vultures."  Then he changes into his wolf and runs off into the woods. Where a few minutes

later you hear a lonely howling in the distance.
