Chester's POV“I can't believe that in a few minutes I'll be seeing a royal trial, I bet is going to be fun...” Julianna said.As I imagined the other trails I had to sit through, the last thought that came to my mind was fun.Anyone who was ever to brought to the palace for a trial were people that had offended the royal family or had committed crimes against the entire Kingdom that was so grave that the Alpha King himself and the council along with I the beta and gamma had to handle it.And the punishments were always severe.“It's sad that Scarlett had to take herself down like this. If she had not allowed jealousy to overcome her, then she would have not turned out this way...”My head fell and I shifted back on my bed. I could feel Julianna's stare shooting a hole through my head, then I realized that I had made a mistake again. Before she could get up, I pulled her back to myself again.“I don't know why you still feel sorry for her after all she did to Koko.” She said to me.Ye
Koko's POV“My dear, are you worried?”The Queen mother asked me for the millionth time and for the millionth time I shook my head.“No, Ma I'm not worried, you shouldn't be thinking about that...”We were sitting on the reserved seats for royalties and she insisted on sitting next to me.I had hoped that Laci would call me so that I could avoid that, but since she was with her baby and told me that she would rather not see the process, I was stuck in the situation now.I told myself that I would do my best to try and forgive her, after all she was the mother of the man I loved and I could not put her away from his life.But, every time she spoke, I felt myself getting upset and then every time she would stroke my hair or pat me on my shoulder, the urge in me was how to shove her hand away.Even so, with every interaction with her made me better at controlling my emotions and my reactions, so I managed to show her a fake smile so that she would not ask me if I was still angry with her
Laci's POV.“So how did the trial go?"I finally broke into the silence that had invaded the dining table for some time after the food has been served and then my mother glanced over to Koko, probably asking for permission with her eyes if she was allowed to tell me and koko just nodded a bit nonchalantly as if she wouldn't care any less if my mother told it or not.I could tell that the air between them was still very tensed, but at least it was a little better now because they were at least hiding it better.Though, I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not."Honestly it went well, but I feel bad that my son had to waste so much time on something that wasn't necessary at all..."My mother was barely done talking when Koko entered the conversation.“Actually I was the one that told him to go through that unnecessary process and waste his time...”If I actually thought the air was tight before, that was nothing after Koko spoke. It was so thick that someone could even cut it with
Alpha Niyol's POVAfter everybody on the judging table had sat down in a semicircle arrangement, I began the meeting to decide the fate of Scarlet and Henry.“Now I'm sure that all of you have listened to The witnesses with utmost attention and you have all seen the evidence that have been brought before all of you, now I want all of your completely honest and unbiased opinions concerning this before I voice out my own...”I said to the people leaning back on my seat and crossing my legs waiting for their answers."Your majesty...” One of the oldest judges on the table stood up and give me a bow.“I think I speak for everyone one here on this table when I say that this case is as clear as black and white. The witnesses have spoken and the evidences as well and the story doesn't seem to be twisted until it gets to the suspects talking, so it is very clear that both of them are guilty, but I hope I am not too pompous to assume that we did not just come here to dance around that, but rat
Julianna's POV“So Koko came up with this idea?” I asked.“Yes, she did.” Chester replied.I was walking down the hall and Chester and some warriors were behind us, as we discussed the most important and crucial things concerning the case of Baby Liam's kidnap.It was now a couple of minutes before the judgment for Henry and Scarlett was supposed to be given.“What do you think about her plan?”He asked me and I combed my hair with my fingers.“Honestly, I think it's a little out of the box, but it could work. It's not like we have much choice anyways, the baby's mother must be so heartbroken and the father too.”“That's true.” Chester affirmed, as our walking step became faster, in order to increase our pace.I suddenly stopped and glanced at the warriors behind us. There was something that I wanted to discuss urgently with Chester and it was not something I could do with the warriors behind us.“Don't you think we will cover more ground if we split up from the rest of the gang?"I g
Koko's POV“I never knew that you were such a scary bitch, Scarlett, so you would go that far?" I said, looking irritated."Go to hell bitch." She spatThe judging council had been disbanded, so both Henry and Scarlett had been released from their cells and given good clothes and food. Also, a huge amount of money had been arranged for both of them.Of course, we had guards at their sides in case they tried anything else.We were in the throne room and Niyol had told his gamma to remain with his mate until they brought the baby back because he doubted that he would be able to resist the urge to break Scarlett and Henry like broomsticks. However Chester was here as well.I did not respond to Scarlett's provocations at me, she was nothing but a mad woman that was being held by her grave wickedness, lack of empathy and satisfaction.Henry was not talking at all. I couldn't believe that somewhere in the corner of my heart, I had considered letting them live, but then any consideration for
Niyol's POVAs I held the baby in my arms, it only took one look his eyes to know that he was my nephew, Liam.The poor thing seemed to recognise me, as he reached out with his little fingers, and I felt my blood boil so hot through my veins that these worthless rats had actually made my nephew go through so much.If it wasn't for my mate's voice that was in my head, constantly telling me to keep calm, so that the rest of the plan would flow smoothly, I would have bashed all their skulls in.“Well it was nice doing business with you.” the snake that called herself Scarlet said as she held Henry's hand and they rushed over to their accomplices that had been waiting for them with a car that I just noticed. And in a few moments the only thing that was left of them at the border was a puff of smoke that came from the engine of the car.“You should have allowed me kill them...”I said to my mate with a ragged breath and she nodded.“You are right, if I had just gone along with their execut
Julianna's POV“Do you feel like backing out?" I asked him, leaning back on a tree and looking into his eyes. He looked back into mine and shook his head."No, this is the closest that I'll get to redeeming myself. I'm not going to throw this opportunity away..."His fingers clenched into a trembling fist and I walked over to him placing my own fingers in his until both of them entangled."Whatever happens from here, just know that I'm on your side.. Chester..." He nodded."I know that I don't deserve you Julianna, but thank you, thank you for sticking by me, even though I've been an idiot lately."I smiled as the dim glow of the moonlight above our heads somehow made this moment a little bit deeper and then his hands came over to my waist and pulled me to himself. Just then, we heard the sound of a car engine and we both took heavy breaths."It's them..." I whispered into his ear and he nodded.Holding my hand, we ran into one of the bushes, as the car that was carrying both Henry an
