Law
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

"scrub the floor well you lazy oaf"I ignored the pain in my back and knees and scrubbed the floor as harder as I could, my buttocks still hurting from the previous day's beating. "Are you deaf or do you want me to bend your legs for you" "No" I stuttered but as I bent down the pain in my buttocks increased making me wince in pain I once belonged to a pack of one of the richest wolves in the land but when my father died my mother ran out of money to finance our pack and so she took a loan from Alpha Feston. When she couldn't pay, Alpha Feston forced her to start working for him as a maid and he also took over our pack and every other thing that belonged to us. When My mother died, Alpha Feston forced me to continue working for them as my mother's labor hadn't paid the debt. Ever since then I've been working as a slave, suffering and enduring physical and mental abuse. I continued scrubbing hoping to be able to finish up on time to be able to wash the windows. If I didn't finish
The Alpha's trophy Secrets and boundaries
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
The Alpha's trophy Wedding arrangements
Shortly after I bade Haleth farewell, I proceeded to the hallway to begin my chores but then I heard noises in the living room, I paused and listen until I could make out what was being said "You will marry Alpha Lustrows, whether you like it or not" Alpha Feston's voice boomed "you have to protect the dignity of this pack""You shouldn't walk out on your father like that Harol" the Lunar said "you're being insubordinate and inconsiderate" I pictured the three of them in the living room, Harol plopping down on the couch with pouted lips and folded arms "What we are asking you to do is quite simple" the Lunar continued and I walked further down the hallway to be able to hear them clearer" turns out Haleth was right after all "Alpha Lustrows is a great choice for you. 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
The Alpha's trophy Shock and despair
The following days had us getting ready for Lustrows and Harol's wedding. The house was repainted, new furniture was bought, the lawn was cleared and decorated, and the whole house was looking spiff and spam. The union between The Silver Pack and The Arrowhead Pack was all over the news, it was going to be the biggest wedding in all the land.I was happy during this period because I was sure I would see Leoric again, my instincts told me he would be at the wedding and if he was there, I'll get to hang out with him,This excitement lifted me above all the sadness and stress I was going through at this time; I surprisingly found myself smiling as I did the heinous tasks assigned to me in preparation for the wedding—the thoughts of Leoric consoled me. I imagined what it would be like if he accepted me despite my status, Haleth said he was rich so he would pay off the rest of my debt, then we would get married and start a pack of our own. We would live happily ever after, how sweet my dre
The Alpha's trophy Finally shattered
I was dressed and made up: Lunar Esdel stayed there, directing the makeup artists on what my face should look like. She told them to add extra concealer to my face to cover up the scars that were there. I was also made to go through skin exfoliating processes to make my skin shiny and remove dirt that had accumulated in my pores. "You need to stop crying," Lunar Esdel said harshly "you are not trying to ruin the makeup are you, what sort of nonsense is this, do you want to give people the impression that you were forced to do this" she gripped my face and wiped the fresh tears that were starting to gather in my eyes"You need to stop ruining the makeup" she paused and let out an exasperated sigh "if you want to cry, wait until we get kicked into the street, then you'll have enough reasons to cry then" she gripped my face and wiped it again "There don't mess it up anymore, you just need to be brave"I didn't cry anymore, not because of what she said though but because I'd run out of
