Assurance
When Leoric said he would be going to report the case to the head pack, I thought he was kidding. I didn't expect it to be so soon, how would we even start? What would we say happened? Leoric sat there in the morning arranging the documents we got from his mother, as he cross checked the documents, tears coursed down from his eyes. I knew he was having the memories of his mother. I felt so lonely but when he saw me coming out of the other room, unaware that I had been watching him he quickly wiped off his tears.
"Will you have some tea this morning? It's snowing." I asked him and he nodded. I went to prepare his tea and gave it to him. "Leoric!" I called. He looked up wearing a smile.
"Yes?" He answered.
"How are you feeling this morning? I mean, I saw you."
"I am okay, you don't have to bother, all o

The courtroom was filled with different categories of personalities, people with high status and some people I never saw in the town. The air was still and tense. To break the tension, people try to make conversations in low voices. Harolden and Lustrow was there, glancing at where I and Leoric was sitting now and then. Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa were sitting some where else but yet, they were not stable. It was as though they didn't know why there were being called to court. The plotter suddenly sprung to his feet. The murmuring fades away. We all stood up when the head of packs entered the courtroom. He took his seat. The audience sat. The plotter gave him a file. "We have no time to waste, call the first case." He said. "The first case, Alpha Ailwyn Lochlain Silver and Luna Dessa Ailwyn Silver." There was silence as Luna De

"Ailwyn!" The head pack called his name loud and clear. Alpha Ailwyn's eyes flared up as he slowly stood up from his chair, awaiting the head pack's next order. Not just his heart must have jolted up but everyone's because no one knew what he was going to say next. The air was again tensed, everyone sat still, nervous, sick and eager. The head back signalled him to move to the box which he did immediately. One could see that he was so uneasy. Reaching the box, the plotter stood up. "Alpha Leoric, you must have heard all the allegations. It was explicit indeed, which means you understand the concept of what was said. How do you plead, are you guilty or not?" "How many times will I tell you I am not guilty that it's all false accusations? Do you want me to go up the hill and declare it the to the whole world that I ain't guilty? This is an embarrassment and I don't expect any of you to keep here for so long." Alpha Ailwyn shouted angrily at the plotter but he remained calm
The Alpha's trophy Peace at last
"My Lord..." Leoric stood up. "It's quite simple, it's very easy for a criminal to gather as many as possible fake things just to prove him or herself nor guilty and that's what Alpha Ailwyn and Luna Dessa did, with you permission, I will like to call out three people who has been working for Silver pack for years just to testify. Whatever they say should be your reason for judgement." What was Leoric upto this time? I didn't have an idea of this new plan of his. Looking at faces of the Silver pack members, they were feeling awkward. Who could it be that Leoric wanted to call out? He didn't even tell me about it, he kept everyone in suspense as he was yet to call out the names of the people. "Permission is granted. You can call out anyone you wish, if they are able to convince the court, then you will be victorious but if they fail to prov

I woke up the next morning to a lot of chores as Harol threw up during the night; messing up her bedroom, her toilet, literally everywhere! I cringed as the putrid smell hit my nose and I placed my hand on my nose"What are you covering your nose for," Harol asked as I began to clean the vomit off the floor. She was scanning me over with contempt in her eyes but I only laughed inside, she had forgotten everything she said to me the previous day, I knew what her problem was now. She opened her mouth to say something but just then there was a knock on the door"Come in" and Haleth, their other servant opened the door "your parents have asked for your presence in the council room" she bowed and closed the door. Harol turned to me instantly "this is all your fault, you should have gotten me inside before they saw us""I tried to make it all quick but you were too drunk to cooperate with me, it wasn't my fault""I just hope I don't get grounded" she rolled her eyes and walked out of the ro
The Alpha's trophy Retribution and realizations
I slept that night reliving how I and Leoric met and it was the sweetest dreams I'd ever had. The garden,his eyes,his smiles his whispers, his warm hands, his musky scent...everything! It It brought a smile to my face as I recalled the sweet feeling I had when Kaylee called him my mate; it was pleasurable having such a feeling when all I'd ever felt was pain. I continued to revel in this fantasy of mine until a liquid substance suddenly splattered all over my body, jolting me awake. I sat up instantly with water drenching me and my mattress: when I got over the shock, I look up and found Harol standing and staring down at me with a cold gaze, holding a now empty bucket of water in her hand. My shoulders slumped in sadness as my mind registered what she'd done 'she poured me water to wake me from my sleep!' She'd usually whipped me awake but this was much worse,my bed was now wet,my hair, bedspread and everything. Tears welled up in my eyes. "Why were you at the party last ni

We are your parents Harol we want the best for you and besides" she lowered her voice "you know the financial condition of the pack of this pack, at least save us from shame and disgrace, we're not using you as a means t
