Still, I thrust my body around, demanding to be heard. And all the elders just stared at me like I was insane, Like I was the craziest woman they've ever laid their eyes on.

"Why? Why is nobody taking to what I'm saying into consideration? Please, Bears, please. You have to realize that this is crazy. I just woke up. I don't know what happened, I don't remember anything-"

"You do not remember anything?!" He roared, his voice booming around the entire court.

And I felt it. I felt it within my system. I felt it within my bones. A shift in my blood. I shouldn't have said that, I thought to myself. But what did he know that I did not know? Why wasn't there anyone telling me anything? I was not going to go down for this. Not like this.

"I just need to see them because I know it's not true. It's not true."

"Stop saying it's not true. It is true. What were you expecting to happen when you did what you did?" I did not know how to answer that. And I use that charge you to forgive me. He needed to explain it to me. He needed to be softer to me because I was still his mate at the other day and he could not just talk to me like that. No, he will not talk to me like that.

"You refused to explain to me exactly what you're saying happened-"

"It is quite clear what we're saying happened." It was Richard, and this time around, his voice was full of malice. I could tell that he was having a field day with my dissolution.

"You know exactly what you did. I don't understand why we let her delay us like this. It is quite clear that she has to be punished for her crimes. And I already have a suggestion. If only this court would listen to me and let us serve this woman the highest form of punishment. She has killed the heirs, wolves of Alpha blood, and she demands punishment that is not forgiving at all."

Again that word. Forgiving. I had literally just woken up. It was just a few minutes ago. It was drowsy. My head, even though it no longer hurt me, it was just muffled up. It was so mangled. My thoughts were jumbled up and all I could think about was how I had absolutely no idea what was happening and how I had absolutely no way of reversing the unknown. It was so unknown to me that I just wanted to roll around, go back to sleep again and wake up and be told that this was all one huge nightmare.

"Listen, every single thing that she has said is a lie." That was Eraline. "She does not even have any line of defence in her. She just says she did not do it, but all evidence suggests that she did. Those babies were found crushed underneath her. She did it on purpose. No, mother, would absolutely do that to our children without flinching, without thinking otherwise. And since she is so evil, she needs to be treated and returned with such evil." She demanded and the whole court was listening to her.

Of course they were. I was the rogue that they always wanted to get rid of. All of them have always hated me from the beginning. All of them never even tried to treat me with the level of respect that I needed, was as though I had no dignity, as though I'd never belonged because of my past. I could tell that they always thought that the alpha had made a very bad decision, putting me in charge, putting me in such a high position, but they could not say anything because I am his mate. And now that he is silenced to my own verbal abuse, then they have free will to say and do whatever they like.

It was a day that they've been waiting for their whole lives. I could tell, they were all so happy. Happy to see me there, weeping, crying, defeated and in so much pain. I was so hurt, but I was even more deeply hurt by the way that he was reacting. Bears was my mate. He knew what is in my heart. He has to know. He has to know what I'm thinking, what I'm capable of. He must feel the hurt that my wolf is going through. My wolf has been trying to reach out to his, but he has blocked him off. He's trying to make sure that he does not let anything tamper with his logic.

But why is he trying to think logically when it was quite evident, when it was quite clear that I could have never done this? There is no one who loved those boys more than me. I even dreamt about them.

I feared so much that I'll be a bad mother. I was so careful with them always. The first time I held them in my hands, I had so much anxiety. I wanted to be the best mother I could be to them, just like my mother. My own mother raised me so well in such loving arms that I wanted to exchange that to them and make sure that they never experience anything less. So I did not understand why those thing I of all people would be capable of this. I of all people would kill my own children.

I did not wanna fall down for this, but no one was in my defence, everyone was against me and majority ruled, without anyone in my defence then I was probably going to end up getting the bitter end of the stick, the highest form of punishment like they were already deciding upon.

"But please, I need a trial, I need a fair trial, I need time. I just need time to-" again I was not allowed to finish my sentences for Eraline briefly cut in.

"Time to do what?" Her voice boomed and I just saw myself seeing red.

Oh, I could just slap her so badly. I could claw her face off and leave her nothing but dangling bones.

This woman annoyed me so much and she was the one person, the one person that would never get away with treating me like this, Bears would always make sure that he puts a right in her place, very quickly at that.

And now he was just sitting there glaring at me like I was a thing he hated most in this world.
