    Things were really getting out of hand.Jay sighed, not for the first time, as he shifted from foot to foot. He was now tending to the fires that were slowly dying, trying to keep it up for much longer as the nighttime was all around him. With the sunset, had come the loss of warmth, and also the sounds of the forest waking up.The weary Alpha, still searching for his missing daughter, put more kindling into the fire, feeding it and tending to it. He needed to make the kindling last until the next hours as he rested for a bit, and before then, this fire could not under any circumstance, go off.Once he was fairly certain that the fire was not going to be dying anytime soon, Jay sat back on the log of wood he had been occupying for the past few hours.The sounds of crickets chirping and the nocturnal animals waking up caused Jay to mutter under his breath.He never had been very comfortable with staying out in the woods in this way, and he tried to avoid it at all costs before.

At that point the judged dropped his pen, loosened his collar and relaxed.In a way it seemed everyone in the court room was connected to the case, including the judge. It was time to know how he was fooled by a teenage girl, why he almost gave up on practising law and why on a second thought he vowed to punish all criminals severely.Two hours had past but he was determined to end the case, and it unexpectedly was getting interesting.With his gaze still fixed on Scarlett who already looked miserable. Her eye were red and puffy, her nose ran like a fountain, and her lips wouldn't stop shaking. She looked pitiful but ironically didn't get any sympathy. The judge thought to give her time to get herself together, he thought she needed space to drown in her own self made ocean of pain and agony, however he was losing patience, he didn't have all the day and
