When Elliot opened the large doors of the courtroom and made way for the Alpha to enter, the sudden silence was something to be written about. Some of the council members had their eyes opened so wide that it looked like they'd pop out anytime soon while others had their mouth so wide open that a folded fist would fit into them.They were just believing what they'd been hearing. For the past seven years, the Alpha hadn't changed a bit. He was still as agile, cold and angry looking at the sight of them. He even looked like he'd tear all of them to pieces at a given chance." Have y'all seen a ghost or something?" Neil scoffed, already annoyed at the men. He and Lair almost got in trouble for them just to fulfill their stupid hunger to see the Alpha with their own very eyes and, to gossip of course. Aside them been old or anything, the men in the council were chronic gossipers.What Neil said wasn't enough, he had to bang loudly on the desk beside him before everyone of them could st
In a completely dark room that was completely void of a single light, a man stood up from the bed with severe pain written all over his face. He didn't seem to let the pain deter him as he stood up and immediately left the room, the click sound of the door shutting close could be heard too.As he came out, he sighted a familiar back. " Marianne?" His throaty deep voice called and the distressed woman turned at the call of her name. " River?" Marianne sighed, running to the huge man. " You woke up quite late today. Still the same issue? It hasn't stopped yet?" She asked with an expectant look but the Alpha was quiet. Marianne sighed again as she glanced down at the unbuttoned shirt he wore and as expected, the vivid marks on his chest were there again. His eyes were hazy and very dim and Marianne already knew he was still fighting and fighting with whatsoever that was disturbing him, he was still fighting with that thing that she didn't know if it'd leave him alone soon or not. T
★ A FEW HOURS AGO★ " What do you think? Should we?" Kaileyn asked, nudging the unsure Estelle who only sighed. She had different thoughts running through her mind, what if River never wanted her or them to leave the pack house? Or wasn't it too dangerous to go outside of the pack house with Kaileyn? They weren't suddenly going to become friends or had she been the only one having problem with the other?" You'll be fine. You don't have to think too much about it if you don't want to go, it's not a must. I was just asking of your opinion but I think you don't feel like going just like I've thought. Let's go back, I just needed some more exposure for both myself and you, we can just stroll around." Kaileyn sighed.Estelle stared at the she-wolf's downcast face and rolled her eyes inwardly. " I actually don't have a problem with going out. I was just worried about River getting to know and you know, he might get angry since I didn't tell him I was going to step out of here." " Angry?"
Amidst the blood that covered all over her face as she laid tiredly on the ground, she caught sight of the object in her bag that had made the people crazy. Did Marianne....do this to her? That was last thought that stamped on Estelle's mind before she passed out cold but the angry mob didn't seem to be done with her yet.How dare a human come into their pack to steal such thing from them? A man paused on his tracks a few meters away. His eyes were glued to the scene playing out before him, people were gathered around something but they didn't look like they were playing, something serious was going on.He took a step closer and the thick smell of blood in the air made him wince. Blood was the only scent that someone could make out in the air as it was and it was then the man knew the crowd was practicing a jungle justice.Immediately, with just two strides, he was there, pushing away and aggressively trying to get into the middle of the crowd, he finally did and the sight that be
In just a few hours, things had happened. Just like the Gamma said, Kaileyn had been found and in a not so good condition. She had been injured and unconscious for days in the forest where she was found tattered and wounded. It was only by the help of the goddess or by luck that she wasn't seen by a rogue during those days else her bones were the only thing that'd be packed back to the pack house. Her father, Lord Diego had also been raging fire and volcano like a mad person since his only and precious daughter was found in such bad condition.Estelle had also regained consciousness once but after a few minutes and after she had requested for water, she had fell back into unconsciousness. There was another, Jesse was missing. According to the guards who were sent to his abode to check whatever might have happened reported that the man was missing and there was some few marks of bloodied hands plastered on the wall which equally meant something had happened to Jesse. He had proba
The councils and everyone in the courtroom stood up one after the other as they saw the Alpha pushing in his mate into the courtroom with smiles on their faces." Where's this, River?" Estelle whispered. She could feel the various eyes on her as River pushed her into this place that looks like a company's conference room. " It's the courtroom." He whispered back into her ears, eliciting a giggle from her." Alpha," Lair called. " Alpha Reid's requesting to join the trial, I'm not too sure about this. He's an–"" Let him. He was a big help to Elle, so just let him in....as a reward. There's also nothing to be unsure about, nothing would happen." The Alpha replied and Lair sighed before heading out.Lord Chels gave a respectful bow when Estelle's gaze met his. Estelle didn't know when she nervously looked away, why would a man so old and enough to be her father bow for her? She noticed the others doing the same thing anytime she met their gazes and she turned to River to complain sil
She was staring at Marianne with a kind of eyes that seemed as if only the older lady could read." I did have a fall, Alpha." Marianne spoke up and Estelle didn't know if it was only her that saw how Kaileyn heaved a sigh of relief. All this couldn't have been Kaileyn's plan, right? Could Kaileyn have wanted to hurt her to the extent that she had to hurt herself too? She had to give herself so much injuries and scars all over her body just because of a plan against her? It couldn't be as she was thinking, could it?" I didn't want anyone to know about it but Kaileyn kind of figured it out. My legs were starting to hurt that day and I also couldn't find them too. She's not lying." Marianne concurred and Lord Chels continued." According to Larry Mirko, the blacksmith who had firstly staged the attacked on Lady Estelle, he was allegedly told to do as he did." Lord Chels read and Estelle's eyes dimmed confusingly." Including disrespecting me and threatening to give her a more quic
No one knew what happened except Kaileyn herself who might have seen who attacked her and say who the person was but she was seriously injured and had been unconscious since in the morning when she was attacked.She got a cracked head, a broken nose, and a broken limb from what happened to her. She had injuries before the incident so a new, cruel attack as the one that just happened had reopened the old wounds. Large, scary looking handprints were also around her fair neck, giving them a very despicable look. Her father, Lord Diego, kept ranting words that weren't very pleasant to the ears about how a bad omen had came into the pack." They found a bloodstain on the terrace. It looked like it was rubbed there by someone because of the handprints that was seen on it." Neil reported, he looked weary." Merlin should be able to find out the owner behind the handprints, you didn't call him?" The Alpha asked with a stoic face too. He had just returned from Kaileyn's ward and he wasn't l
