Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 71

The Afternoon of the Trial

Part One - Sarah's dreadful fate

I was alone. Everest had an issue to deal with downstairs and he told me to go ahead and get dressed for this afternoon's trial. I had three different suits picked out for myself. There was a charcoal gray skirt suit paired with a royal blue button-down shirt. The other suit was a black pin striped suit with a soft gray button-down shirt. The last suit was a classic black suit with a white button-down top. I looked between the three of the suits and walked away. I slid my clothes off and got in the shower. I washed the stress and worries off of my body from earlier in the day.

I got out of the shower and dried myself off. I put on my lotion, put heat protectant in my hair, and dried my hair. I took the wet towel that was wrapped around my body and hung it up. I pulled on the robe and went to where I kept my makeup. I sat down on the chair at my vanity. I prepped my skin for make-up and looked up at hearing the door to our bedroom open and close shut.

"It's just me, love." Everest called out to me.

"I am in here, putting my make-up on." I called back to him as he walked into the oversize walk-in closet.

"You smell nice. I could smell you outside." He winked at me, causing me to blush.

"Oh." I turned and flipped my hair as I walked past him, my scent floating in his direction. As he inhaled, he made a low growling sound, causing me to let out a small giggle.

I went over and picked out the suit I was going to wear and began getting myself dressed. As I was getting dressed, Everest began to get himself ready. When we were both ready, we had about an hour or so left to spare. We walked into the activity room together and found it to be empty. We sat down at a table together and, for once, other than being inside our bedroom together, we were alone. Not only were we alone, but it was also very quiet. It seemed pretty peaceful. I could hear the soft pattering of his heart beat. It seemed to be reaching out to me and I moved to face him. He smiled over at me and I returned the smile.

"Ever play chess?" He looked down at the perfectly displayed game on the table and back up to me.

"Well, if you must know, I am a champion at the game. A complete mastermind." I told him with a broad smile.

"Really?" His brows shot up in surprise. I could tell he was impressed.

"No, I have never played before." I laughed and he laughed with me. "I couldn't tell you first thing about it, honestly."
