Chapter 197: The Trial of the Century

The whole of the packs was signed and the whole of the line was one and the whole of it was the whole of the ground.

And then the whole of the it was the whole of the trial.

It was held in the circle in the trees in the spring when the snow was gone and the wheat was up and the whole of the east field was green.

The whole of the Council came and the whole of the territories came and the whole of the east came and the whole of the north came and the whole of the line came and the whole of the it was in the east field.

And in the middle of the circle there was a table and seven chairs and the whole of the Alphas of the whole of the packs sat in the chairs.

I sat in the middle chair with Ilse in my arms and Elias beside me.

And in front of the table there was a wolf.

It was Silas and he was in a gray coat and his hands were tied and his face was gray and the whole of him was the whole of the it.

“Silas,” I said.

“Alpha,” he said.

“The whole of the it is the whole of the trial,” I said. “And the whole of the trial is the whole of the Council and the whole of the east and the whole of the it.” I put my hand on the table. “And the whole of the it is going to be answered for.”

Silas stood in front of the table.

“The whole of the it is the whole of the Council,” he said. “And the whole of the Council is the whole of the it. The whole of the it is the whole of the register and the whole of the register is the whole of the it.” He put his hand on his chest. “And the whole of the it is the whole of the whole of the it.”

I stood up.

“The whole of the it is the whole of the trial,” I said. “And the whole of the trial is the whole of the it.”

And then the whole of the trial began.

It took three weeks.

The whole of the Council was brought into the circle one at a time and the whole of the them were the whole of the it and the whole of the them answered for the whole of the it.

The whole of the it was the room and the whole of the it was the lake and the whole of the it was the silver and the whole of the it was the trial claims and the whole of the it was the whole of the line.

And when the whole of the it was done the whole of the circle was quiet and the whole of the it was the whole of the ground.

The whole of the Alphas of the whole of the packs sat in the chairs and the whole of the them looked at the whole of the it.

And then the Alpha of the Alphas stood up.

“The whole of the packs has heard the whole of the it,” he said. “And the whole of the packs is going to rule.”

The whole of the circle was silent.

“The whole of the packs rules,” the Alpha of the Alphas said, “that the whole of the Council is guilty of the whole of the it. The whole of the Council is guilty of the room and the lake and the silver and the whole of the trial claims and the whole of the it. And the whole of the Council is going to be answered for.”

The whole of the circle moved.

“And the whole of the packs rules,” the Alpha of the Alphas said, “that the whole of the Council is going to be exiled. Not the whole of the Council. The whole of the ones who signed the whole of the it and the whole of the ones who kept the whole of the it and the whole of the ones who took the whole of the it.”

The whole of the circle was silent.

“And the whole of the it is going to be the whole of the it,” the Alpha of the Alphas said. “The whole of the it is the whole of the exile and the whole of the exile is the whole of the it.”

And then he looked at Silas.

“Silas of the line,” he said. “The whole of the packs has heard the whole of the it and the whole of the packs has ruled. You are the whole of the it and the whole of the it is the whole of the Council. And the whole of the packs sentences you to the whole of the exile.”

Silas stood in front of the table.

“The whole of the it is the whole of the it,” he said. “And the whole of the it is the whole of the exile.”

He looked at me.

“Alpha,” he said. “The whole of the it is not the whole of the it. The whole of the it is the whole of the line.” He put his hand on his chest. “And the whole of the it is the whole of the whole of the it.”

I stood up.

“Silas,” I said. “The whole of the it is the whole of the it and the whole of the it is not the whole of the it any more.”

He looked at me for a long moment.

“The whole of the it is the whole of the it,” he said.

And then the whole of the circle went quiet.

And then the whole of the it was the whole of the ground.

And then the ground spoke.

It said: The whole of the it is the line. The whole of the line is the ground. The whole of the ground is the territories. The whole of the it is the whole of the it.

And then it went out.

The circle was dark.

And then the light came back and the whole of the circle was quiet and the whole of the it was the whole of the line.

And then the whole of the Council was taken out of the circle and the whole of the it was the whole of the exile.

And then the whole of the circle roared.

And then the whole of the it was the whole of the line.

And then the whole of the it was the whole of the ground.

And then the whole of the circle was quiet.

And then the whole of the it was the whole of the whole of the it.

And then the whole of the circle roared.
