After Cyrus spoke the court took a break, I think everyone needed some time to try and take in everything that was just said. I had no idea Preston threatened Cyrus and my dad, I thought Cyrus just did it because he's a terrible man that took pleasure from doing that kind of thing. I mean let's be honest he probably did enjoy it, but maybe he got too far in and there was no way out so he carried on.
I was in the lobby of the court alone this time, well sort of alone as there were guards everywhere. Gray was with Josh doing I have no idea what, while Erik was talking with the prosecutor guy, aka our guy. I couldn't be seen talking with anyone from the court, in case people see and the public becomes aware of my hand in this case.
I was just stood there when something catches my eye, sitting alone on one of the chairs was Cyrus. He sat with his ha
After the wholesome family moment, the court got called back in. Gray was now back from wherever he went and joined me on the balcony once more, he isn't going to believe the information I just found out, I'll have to tell him after this is all finished.It was now Preston's turn to go to the stand, the court was silent as we all watch him walk over to the stand. All you could hear where the chains around his feet rattling, I glance over at Gray who's eyes didn't leave his father. I reach over taking his hand in mine, it was my turn to comfort him. He places a kiss on my hand before resting our interlocked hands on his leg, as Preston took the stand he takes a look up at us."Now let's start with the questions shall we, did you hire Cyrus and Wes Jacobs?" Our guy asks placing his hands in his pockets, we all knew where this was going to go
The jury didn't take long to decide what was to happen to Preston, much to Gray's annoyance. We were now sat in the courtroom waiting for the jury to come back in, I was pretty confident that we'd won this but you never know. I look down into the court to see my family sat all together, even Cyrus was sat beside my dad, like one big happy family!My eyes wonder to Preston, he had such a horrible look on his face, I think it's finally now setting in that this whole act of being a devoted King isn't going to pass. The act he was playing is now up as Gray said, he's about to pay for all those people he hurt.The jury soon enter the courtroom going over to sit where they have been, Gray quickly takes my hand as the main jury person stands up."Have you came to an agreement?" The j
I was sitting watching Netflix on my laptop finally having a lazy day, with work and pack chores I don't get many of these. I sit back smiling but the bedroom door opening breaks my relaxing moment. Emma, my brother's mate, walks into my bedroom, she frantically runs to my mirror fixing her hair. "We have to go to the pack house, the Alpha's holding a meeting," she tells me still fixing her hair. The Alpha is really strict when he's holding a meeting, you have to look smart or he gets very angry. I quickly get up fixing myself too, once I was ready we both walk down to see Kyle, my older brother, standing by the door. He sends me a nervous smile, he hated the Alpha but was also rather scared of him. "You don't have to come Clara, I could tell everyone you're feeling ill"
I finish packing the final bag, I know this was a good thing but I couldn't help but feel sad. I mean it's great that I've found my mate, but it meant I had to leave my brother who's stood by me through all the hard times. He's angry now but I know he'd tell me I was being stupid and how good of a thing this was, it's not like I'll never see him again, I hope. I zip my bag up with a sigh, I hope Grayson is nice and doesn't treat me poorly, I've saw first hand what some people are like to their mates. I pick my bags up walking towards the door, once I open it more of the guys were standing outside my door. They bow their heads before two of them take my bags off me, while the other two escort me out my bedroom. "Where's my brother?" I ask, this actually being the first time I've spoke since I left the meeting, they quickly walk me down the st
I lay in bed looking at the ceiling for hours, I managed to get maybe 3 or 4 hours sleep but that was all. I had this problem when Kyle and me first moved into my old pack, no matter how hard I tried I could never fully get to sleep. Kyle always said it boiled down to our past and how I haven't fully accepted the things that happened, he thinks if I try to accept them it would help me get over it. But I don't know if I'm ready to do that yet. I turn my attention to the window to see the sun beginning to come up, I guess there's no point trying to fall back to sleep now. I decide to get up and start getting ready for the day, the early bird catches the worm I guess. The amazing thing about this room was there was a bathroom connected to it, which meant I didn't have to see anyone else I could just start getting ready. I round my things up and hop in the shower, hoping that would help to kill time.
After breakfast, Grayson was giving me a tour of the huge castle, which was just getting even more beautiful. My favourite part had to be the huge ballroom, he did tell me when I first arrived that I'd love it. It has huge with murals on the ceiling, it had gold statues it was beautiful. The last part of the tour was the garden, he said he thinks I'll also like this part too. The doors open my mouth also hanging open, I couldn't believe my eyes! I stop at the door just staring at the beautiful garden in front of me, I think this might have topped the ballroom. "The garden was always my mothers favourite, so my father would add more and more to make her love it more" he smiles standing beside me "I confess I have let it go a little, the gardeners make it look great but I've just forgotten about it since she left" he sighs looking down at the ground, I don't know what's happened to his mother or father for that ma
Daisy and I sat there and chatted for awhile, she was actually super nice and told me what to expect when living here. She also told me about her family and where she comes from, she was born in America but moved to the uk when she was 5. Her family quickly settled into a pack a few hours away, she doesn't get to see her family much now she's with Josh. As Josh is Grayson's beta he can't be away from this place for very long, but Josh doesn't want Daisy to be away from him so she just has so wait until he can get a few days off. She was actually being so open with me, she told me how lonely she's felt since she moved here. She said she's so happy that she's found Josh and wouldn't change it for the world, but as he's always working here she's alone as she doesn't have any friends. I told her how that's all changing now I'm here, honestly she would be helping me because I'd be just like her if she wasn't here.
For the next few hours, I was stood up straight on a little platform thing with two woman poking and prodding me. Daisy was there the whole time though keeping me company, I felt I could have a full conversation with her as the two woman were wrapped up discussing sizes and poking me! The two woman leave for awhile telling us not to leave the room, this gave me and Daisy time to do our hair and makeup, which wasn't a lot as she said I didn't need to wear any. They return with a full dress where they asked who would help me put it on. I immediately look at Daisy who nods causing the two woman to leave, I sincerely didn't want one of them poking me again. "You're gonna look amazing Clara" Daisy smiles going back to do the back up, I mean it was absolutely beautiful, probably the nicest thing I've ever worn.&
