Complete Percival Rackham's Trial Novels & Stories

“They were not trying to make me fall.” Kael’s gaze sharpened. “They were trying to see whether I already had,” she finished. That drew the smallest change in him, a flicker of something like approval before it vanished behind restraint. Around them, the elders began to murmur more loudly, and the sound made the chamber feel less like a ritual hall and more like a room full of knives deciding where to land. Varrek cleared his throat. The sound cut through the room at once. “The Trial is complete,” he said, lifting his staff just enough to command silence. “The pack has seen.”

Patricia exclaimed, full of satisfaction when she found what she was looking for. It was a small pack of pink tablets hidden beneath her things. When Rick first offered these little devils to her, she refused. She was trying to follow what Tasha told her. But Rick was an excellent salesman. He convinced Patricia to disobey Tasha's most important rule. And it was more than heaven for Patricia. -------

Cedrick’s POV The aroma of aged leather and the subtle fragrance of ancient pages permeated the air, grounding me as I reviewed our pack’s latest reports. Percival’s sudden knock interrupted my thoughts. He entered quietly, his face shadowed with hesitation, his hand clenched around a rolled parchment.

said Master as he gestured for the bloodsucker to enter the Pack House. Percival did not say anything more and then entered the room and said,” Let’s go over all the events that have happened in the past year. Even the stray ones, which you call as wild wolves. Then we might be able to add some new addendums to this year’s treaty. Does that sound good?” And a piercing howl shattered the silence of the room and Percival immediately stood still.

"Your Honor, with your permission, I would like to cross-examine one of the alleged victims, Fabian Locke." "Granted," Judge Rackham agreed to it immediately—he certainly was no pushover, not after he climbed the hierarchy to reach where he was today. Since Sean was going this far, it was obvious he wouldn’t stop until this trial ended here and today. And all Judge Rackham could do was play along.

Was led away. One trial complete. Two remaining. The tribunal recessed for one hour. When they reconvened, Dr. Patricia Hammond stood before them. Unlike Caldwell, she showed no guilt. No remorse. Only scientific certainty that her work was justified. "Dr. Patricia Hammond, you are charged with conducting unauthorized human experimentation resulting in twenty deaths and the torture of twenty-three survivors. How do you plead?"

But as soon as the figures on the screen made sense to me my eyes widened in shock. "How come the trial failed, Sir? Didn't they send the report last evening stating it passed the test?" I asked in a panicked voice, as it was the result of the first trial which was finally sent as passed just yesterday. Before leaving the office, Robin Sir had called Roger, the lead researcher in Mr. Smith's lab, asking about the result of the first trial. To our delight, Roger said that it was a success and he immediately sent us the report. It gave us some relaxation considering the faster it gets completed, the earlier we could conduct further trials. However, who would have seen this new trouble coming o

Skylar stared at me for a long moment. “The trial is at midday,” she shook her head, ignoring what I’d said. “Eat something first.” Then she left. I stood in my room and thought about the man who had died in a holding cell for unknown reasons. I wondered what he had seen in that forest that had been worth silencing. Then I ate something. Because Skylar had told me to, and she was usually right. The trial was nothing like the previous tests. No quiet courtyard. The entire pack had assembled in the main grounds – every rank, every house, everyone who had an opinion about what I was and what I deserved, which was everyone.

Maverick concludes his testimony. The entire courtroom is silent when he steps down and walks back to his seat. Where Liberty did her best to plead for by garnering sympathy Maverick told everyone how horrible Samantha and Hartley were. The verdict however is barely lighter than we expected. The same poison as Candy used on Samantha but without the silver and in a lower dose. For a short moment I feel hope that I can maybe keep my child and my wolf. /It’s ultimately your choice,/ Ava let’s me know. /I’ve not changed my mind,/ I let her know.

Even though he's a lot older now, he was always so patient with me. Once again, Percival shocked everyone by taking a huge forkful of smoked pork and bringing it to my lips. He made sure I took the first bite before anyone else. We could hear the sound of a wolf digging into his plate, and Percival let out a roar towards the offending wolf, who just so happened to be Damon. Everyone else went back to their seats, waiting for Percival to take his first bite.
