The anticipation in the room was tangible, and I could feel the weight of impending doom hanging over me. "What is this? What evil game are you planning to play?"

Why is she always surrounded by shady people? “Don’t worry, Luna.” They seemed to have noticed her reaction. “We’ll win this.” She hoped so. Their energies were contagious that she actually believed they’d win at some point. But fate had other plans. After lunch, they were gathered back in the courtroom for the decision of the jury. It was a quick one. Because there wasn’t much to debate on. Really. “…Therefore, we declare Leal M. Horryn guilty of second-degree murder.” Her eyes widened as her breathing hitched.

Clinton rises from his chair. Every person in the room straightens instinctively. The Alpha aura rolls through the room without effort. "I've made my decision." Nobody interrupts. Nobody would dare. Danny stares at him. Clinton stares back. "Before sunset, the sentence will be carried out." The room goes still. Danny's face loses all color.

Rhea gazed at her son and motioned him that everything is okay. When the situation inside the courtroom intensified, like a drama, the door of the courtroom suddenly opened.

Then, the bailiff's voice followed, "All rise!” The room stood as one, and Judge Harrison ascended to her bench, her piercing gaze sweeping the courtroom.
