The Wolves Beneath the Sanctuary

Chapter 208 Two Packs Reunited

Conri Aziza and Ragnar had been there during one of his trials as they had to testify and he never showed any remorse for what he had put his family through. Not once did he use his Father and what he did to his own Daughter up as an excuse and I truly believe that he has given up. Their representatives are known to be sharks, but Princess Taliyah had already shown that even sharks can be dealt with and she did it in the most amazing way. I just hope that Umayza will be able to control her emotions during this trial, but she doesn’t know how she will respond. She is determined to testify in this trial and she said if it meant crying in front of everyone then she would accept that, she just wanted everyone to know what happened five years ago. She wants to prove that she is nothing like her family, that she will use her gift for the benefit of others and never to gain money from it. We make our way up to the Courthouse after we had breakfast and Umayza had been right when Armand informed us of our assignment for the duration of this trial. We will be in the Courthouse making sure none of the accused get out of line or try to attack anyone. Council-member Armas is already waiting for us as he will not be on the Council during this trial and he decided to guide Umayza to her seat in the Courthouse, he will also be staying with her as long as she doesn’t have to take the stand. Umayza turns to us as she says she wants us to keep an eye on Ayden and she wants the others to keep an eye on Roger and Talon. Armand doesn’t argue with her, he apparently understands she will reveal something that might set him off and two Lycans holding down a raging Wolf is easy. The three of them are probably just there as a last barrier between Ayden and the other two and it makes sense to have Theron with them, he can probably stop a raging bull with one punch. Like Malik he is a giant and easily scares others when he approaches them, except of course our Little Mate. As we enter the Courthouse I see Orion waiting near three seats and I am actually not surprised to see him, I doubt Jasper would appreciate it to be kept away from his Sister right now. They might be able to help Umayza during her testimony, Jasper might even be able to help Yade to keep her emotions under control. Armas guides Umayza to her seat while we take up our spots behind the table of the accused, Orion grabs her hand as they sit down and I see in her eyes that Jasper is keeping her company. It takes a while before the public has taken their seats, after that the Royal family and the Council-members walk in. We are all waiting for the Council’s representative, the accused and their representatives to enter the Courthouse and then this trial will come to an end. UmayzaI let everything in the room pass me by and I concentrate on Jasper and Yade as they are arguing in my head, like every time it is about the Pups. Jasper wants to know if they are all boy or all girls or a mix, but Yade isn’t telling him anything and I wonder if she knows or just wants to keep it a secret for me and my Mates. Orion places his hand on my knee to get my attention and like everyone else I get up as the Royal family and the Council-members enter the Courthouse. Orion and I have never been to the Courthouse and we both look in awe as everyone takes their seats. Representative Fabian is the first to walk to his table as it is protocol and after that the accused walk in with their Representatives. Each of them has a female as their Representative and that surprises me because of the charges against these males. Ayden and Representative Daeva get placed at a separate table and Council-member Nakoa explains that it has to do with doubts on his involvement. Roger and Representative Medea are seated on the left side of the table from me and Talon and Representative Cozbi on the right, none of them look up as Council-member Nakoa addresses the public. Fabian holds his opening statement, he is careful not to reveal what the trial is exactly about and all the accused know is that they are charged with murder. Cozbi is the next to hold her opening statement and she points out that during all of Talon’s trials he has confessed to the charges, but that he didn’t commit any other murder than the one on his chosen Mate. Medea has a similar opening statement in regard to Roger and both males have a smug look on their faces, thinking there is nothing that can link them to any other murder than the ones they have already been found guilty of. Fabian gets up to start the trial, “I call to the stand Little Ghost.” He says and I walk over to the seat I have to take. Everyone stares at my baby bump as I sit down and Fabian takes the time to congratulate me, he asks me how far along I am as everyone can see that I am with Pup. “About four weeks, but it shows already as I am expecting a triplet.” I answer and I hear gasps all around me. He asks me to introduce myself to all that are present, “My name is Umayza and for the past two and a half years I have been working for the Council and the King. I get information no one else can get, they call me Little Ghost because I can walk around without anyone noticing me.” I say. He asks me to explain how I am able to get information that no one else can get, “I have the gift of perception, but unlike my family I have never used it to make money with it and I never will. My Mother was raised by her Aunt, Calliope.” I say and murmurs are heard throughout the Courthouse. “Not to insult you, Umayza, but the gift can only relive a memory that is two or three years old.” Fabian says and I decide to show everyone that I am unique, “Council-member Nakoa was at a cluster of boulders in the middle of White Mountain Pack with the Sons of Alpha Grant. They decided to divide the Pack into two Packs and sold the clearing between their Packs to the Council to create a natural barrier. Council-member Nakoa, would you be so kind to confirm that this took place over two hundred years ago?” I ask and he confirms what I had said. “White Mountain Pack was a Royal Pack because Alpha Grant’s Mother was a Royal, his Sons were unaware of this piece of information and they never found out as all the journals and family files were send to the Council. The youngest Brother was killed and his Beta took over the Pack, but almost a week ago both Packs became one again.”
