Chapter 20

The next day was the trial of the late young wolf. All the council assembled in court followed by my brothers and the king's father. The large court door opened where I could see the surrounding stair -style seats. All the councils were sitting there and as soon as we arrived, they all paid tribute. We also sat down as the prosecutor stood up and headed to the podium in front of the vacant circular space where the offender would be presented. "Enter that stupid wolf." Its announcement.

Moments later the door opened again and the young wolf with both hands chained behind his back was spit out. He was followed by those who were guarding him. For a moment our eyes met the vampire soldier I had yelled at last night.

When we meet the young wolf's eyes are I just sparingly greeted him. There was fear on his face but when I smiled at him he tried to cheer himself up. He had to prove his innocence so he could help me too.
