Justice Jay Ackles Novels & Stories

"Your Honor, the prosecution would like to call its next witness." I glanced toward Jayden. His expression changed immediately. I knew who it was before the name was spoken. "Jayden Clark." Jayden slowly stood up. My heart immediately started racing, but he looked calm but I also knew he wasn't calm inside of him. I grabbed his wrist before he walked away and he stopped to look at me. "Jayden. You don't have to be strong today." I said. "I know, my love." he replied, walking towards the witness stand.The prosecutor approached him carefully.

A heavy, calloused fist collided with Calista’s frame, slamming her onto the wooden chair. A sharp groan escaped her lips as she collapsed forward. Standing above her, her father, Jake, watched with a twisted smirk as blood welled from her wounds. “I love hurting you, do you know that?” he murmured, his voice dripping with malice. “It satisfies me, gives me chills, reminds me of just how much strength I still have left in my system, even at my age.”

the guard said, as my father came forward and took his seat. “The matter before us is the crown versus Bradley Tiresias. He stands accused of the murder and torture of Hayden Jackson. How does the accused plead,” the guard said. “Guilty, out of self defense,” the lawyer said. I took in the criminal’s appearance. He had shoulder length black hair, very pale skin. He looked as if he could use a bar of soap and a hefty meal. He didn’t seem like he could capture a man then torture him. He couldn’t have been more than 5’5.

Alpha Kyle's POV I paced around the room feeling rather uncomfortable. I was unable to sleep last night as my wolf didn't let me sleep. He had been disturbing me to look for our mate. Rejecting my mate wasn't a good decision as I didn't feel my body again. The pain was more than I had imagined. Even though I had tried to suppress it, I felt I couldn't continue to suppress it.

It was Jason calling. “I’ll take this outside,” he said, turning toward the hallway to answer. The moment the call connected, Jason’s anxious voice came through. “Mr. Carter, your wife didn’t show up for today’s hearing. She sent a representative—Ace Reed is here.” Ace was a top-tier attorney in the legal world and the Sinclair Group’s exclusive counsel, known for only handling cases within the Sinclair network. When he took a case, there was never one he couldn’t win. Plenty had tried to hire him with massive retainers, but he turned them all down.

“She’s in there, probably scared out of her mind, and I’m not going to sit here and do nothing.” Justin sighed heavily. “If you go to her now, you’ll expose everything, and by that I mean Lucas. Are you prepared for that?” “Yes.” Jayden didn’t hesitate. “Zendaya means more to me.” “I’ve taught you well,” Justin remarked. “Lucas is already aware of the situation and his lawyer is already working on getting her bail.” Disconnecting the call, he stepped out of the elevator and quickly made his way to his car. His mind was set.

Jake looked directly at the jury. “I expect you to believe the truth. I was a scared boy who froze. I carry that shame every day. But I did not murder my mother. Ray Harlan did. My father helped him. And my mother has spent twenty-three years punishing everyone but the real monsters.” The courtroom was silent. Then the prosecutor stood for redirect. “Mr. Harlan, is there anything else you wish to tell the court?” Jake took a deep breath. His eyes found Emma. She gave him a small, encouraging nod.

Lucia also ignored my phone, she just took care of me all day and gave me love, while the time passed slowly. The next day I could walk and lie down in bed like a normal person, I no longer depended on Lucia to get up and change my clothes, I remembered how difficult it had been to live a few hours ago. However, when I left the room to join Matheus, my girlfriend's father was in the living room. He looked at me somewhat indignantly. "So you're Jared Ackerman?" "Uh... Yeah..."
