NARRATOR “None of what you’re saying makes any sense! It’s easier to blame someone else for your negligence!” The roar made Isabella flinch, and even the other wolves in the room jumped. A lycan’s pressure wasn’t something to mess with. “Just admit you were wrong, and maybe the punishment will be more lenient!” he roared at her, almost forcing the words out of her. He looked desperate to crush her, even though he was the director and supposedly an impartial man who didn’t even know her. From the main seat on the semicircle of raised benches, he watched her like he’d already decided the sentence. “I’m sure of what I did. I wouldn’t play with something like that. Someone set me up, someone with influence!” Isabella managed to push her voice out even though her whole body was trembling.
