"Keep your calm and make sure you answer every question after giving it some thought. Watch your word choice too," Norman said to me as we stood together, watching Alpha Diaz come in with his warriors. He was going to be questioning me, and I'd have to defend myself—with Norman's help.
Maximus, Emmet, and Kaye were sitting in the front row, and behind them were my friends. Rudy and Sage had also shown up for support.
I knew they were going to be shocked when they found out the whole truth about me.
"Shall we begin?" Mr. Vonston asked, gesturing for me to sit behind the witness stand. My heart was pounding so hard. I had never been to a werewolf court before. I didn't know what kind of questions would be asked.
My character might be torn apart even more. And what was worse—my so-called family was sitting in the row with the people who hated me. Right behind Alpha Diaz, supporting his decision to punish me.
