Marienne's Pov My heart was in turmoil as I made my way down the grand hallway towards the council meeting where justice would be served as Ella and Juliet walked behind me.As I walked, my mind was filled with conflicting emotions. Should I be happy that Delaney is finally going to pay for her evil deeds? Should I rejoice in the thought of revenge? It is indeed a difficult choice for me. And I felt so torn.I only walked silently for a few minutes before I reached the courtroom. Ella and Juliet were silent throughout the walk, they could saw I needed to be left to my own thoughts. Finally, I reached the entrance to the royal courtroom. The doors swung open, revealing a crowd of people already inside, eagerly awaiting the beginning of the court session.I could see most of the court ladies, and I knew they were just here for a fresh gossip and most will rejoice in the fall of Delaney The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards me.

Marienne's Pov"Today we gather here to bear witness to justice being serve to these individuals present here, they have gone against the rule of the shifters and have committed many crimes against the throne and kingdom " Nico said as he stared down at them with so much hate in his eyes one could feel the intensity of his stares.The processing began and they started from the common rogues that were present. Nico didn't go easy on any of them,as the mass punishment was death. Each of the rogues had a gag on their mouth to stop them from talking or making any sound. Most of the females were to be sent to the vampire king as a gift in assisting for the war. Though it was cruel, I have no say in their judgment.As the proceeding of the normal rogues came to an end and the next was Bianca, the hall was filled with tension as well as highly charged emotions. It was obvious that everyone knew who Bianca was, she was one of the most powerful females until now. I sat in the audience, my hear

I am sure she will long to meet the woman who save her life."Come with me" I said I held Belle's hand tightly, we walked out of the busy courtroom.

As I drag her through the halls. We soon arrived at the queens quarters.As we stepped into the Hall, Belle's eyes widened in disbelief at the beauty of the hall.

Marienne's PovThe room was silent for more then a minute, no one said a word. I looked towards my mates and I saw that they were silent. After what felt like ages Maverick said."Father, when will this be?" Maverick asks. I turned to look at him confused, I didn't know what I was expecting him to say but that was far from it."I plan to retire after the moon festival, '' Nico said as he looked at his mate and smiled. This led me to believe that they would have already planned towards this, I understood that Nico after the experience he had wanted to take a break from everything and focus on his mate."Will you still be at the castle?, Or will you still leave?" I asked. I was curious about everything."About that, we plan to get a cottage close to the woods and live out our lives there." My mother said as she looked up at me.

Marienne's PovMy eyes slowly fluttered open, and the first thing that hit me were the memories of the previous day, the soreness from the bites my mates had given me. A mixture of pain and pleasure coursed through my body as I stretched beneath the warm sheets, my senses coming alive.As I fully awakened, I realized that I was tied up between the three of them in bed. They all held me close and had contact with my body. I could feel their body hear against my skin as they held me close to them.Slowly and gently, I tried to extricate myself from the middle without waking them. With cautious movements, I managed to slip out from the tangle of limbs and escape to the bathroom, needing some solitude to process the events of the night before.As I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, I was greeted with the sight of three gigantic hickeys on my neck. on different parts of my neck. Instead of looking ugly or embarrassing, they appeared beautiful to my eyes. And I felt proud to show it of
Marienne's PovDelaney, on the other hand, retained her composure, steeling herself against the impending horror. She said no words, her lips pressed together in a firm line. It was in the quietude of her presence, the stillness of her spirit, that I saw the true strength within her, I had always admire her for her strength and ability to withstand all the torment. She showed no weakness, or gave the crowd the satisfaction of seeing her in dismay.As Shadow was dragged towards the executioner's block, his head destined to be severed from his body, he turned towards her, and a sad smile graced his face. In that moment, I could see the unconditional love that existed between them, the unspoken understanding that transcended the boundaries of society.Delaney, unable to bear the agony of watching her lover's demise, began to struggle against the guards holding her. The torture began slowly, teasingly. Instead of the swift and merciful blow of the executioner's axe, it was Shadow's outstr
Third PovAs soon as the court session was over and Delaney was returned to her cell.Has she sat in her dimly lit cell, her heart heavy with frustration, disappointment, and anger. It wasn't just for anyone, but for herself. How had she allowed herself to become caught up in this dire condition? She gazed at the cold, bare walls, their silence echoing the turmoil within her.Her mine kept going to the proclamation the king had made earlier that day, Tomorrow, shadow was to be executed, and there was nothing she could do to prevent it. The weight of helplessness pressed upon her, threatening to drown her in a sea of despair. But her own impending death loomed even closer, as she realized that as soon as she gave birth, her life might be snuffed out as well.Her trembling hands tenderly caressed her pregnant stomach, seeking solace in the life growing within her.

I heard as Delaney sobs I could find it in my heart to comfort her. Now that Delaney as birthed her child she will have to face justice for what she had done.I couldn't stand the environment anymore. I turned to go back to find my mates.As I stormed through the halls, my anger fueled my every step. I clashed into different people, knocking them aside without a second thought.
