The Evening of Dexter's Trial

The beginning of the day and Dexter's trial...

I stood outside the door with Everest, Josh, Claire, Miranda, and Brent. We were chatting about the trial for Sarah. How it was weird to watch the silver overtake her body. The way that it seemed to burn her from the inside out. It was a sight that I did not enjoy watching. I leaned against Everest and his hand went instinctively to my belly, rubbing it softly. We were pregnant.

It brought me back to the moments leading up to finding out I was pregnant. He picked me up and twirled me around our bedroom this morning. How happy he was, how happy I was to be carrying the next leader for our Kingdom, to be carrying a product of our love for one another.

I couldn't wait to experience all of the good and bad of this pregnancy with him as our family grew much bigger, even if it was only by one. A Lycan pregnancy was different than a human who was carrying a child. Lycans were pregnant for maybe four months, half the time a human would give birth. Some Lycans delivered their babes as early as three months. We were stronger than humans, we could procreate faster too. I remember this one woman who gave birth twice in one year, the second being with twins. She had her hands full for sure. I could not even imagine having three babies under the age of one.

That made me wonder if I was going to have one or multiples. I smiled as my hand sat on top of Everest's hand, which was still rubbing my flat stomach. It wouldn't be flat in the next few months as it would be more full and plump looking with the love of my baby inside.

The walls were concrete brick painted a white color. The room almost looked sterile. The table that was up higher and looking down at the rest of the room was long and stretched across the entire room. There were twelve chairs in total up there. Enough for our council members

in, I noticed where they would have Dexter chained up. He was off to the right side of the room. It looked like a cage made with silver bars. Unless you were wearing a special glove to get in and out of the cage, the silver would surely burn you if you touched it. I walked over to look at the cage itself. It went floor to ceiling with big anchors to hold the chains in place. The silver bars also went around the circumference of the cell. It was honestly impressive and it should

doors were opened once again after everyone was settled in. Members of both the Northern and Southern Territories filled up the room. People sat in their seats and stood along the wall. I looked out at the crowd, searching for anything that stood out. Slipping in and out of other peoples minds for any clues on anything that would or could be alarming. The whispers between everyone gave the room a high but nervous energy.
