Chapter An atom of hope

Maybe banishment will be a fine punishment, but looking at the one person she thought she had stopped loving, forget that he is a man, even though he cannot be called one of the strongest werewolves, he is still a man, and it was unheard of, to see a werewolf cry in public that way.

She was not given the chance to say anything, she looked up again, avoiding Leo's gaze, there was someone else she was not seeing, her father, he was no where around. Had he given up on her that he didn't bother coming? She thought to herself. When she didn't see him in the crowd, she swallowed hard, coming to terms with the fact that her father couldn't stand looking at her loose her head.

"What is going on? Blair heard her mother ask, as the chaos increased.

"She was the one that poisoned me, she killed me, and caused all the problems in the land, so she is going to be killed by beheading". Blair answered.

"That is nit right, you don't do something bad, because someone else did it?

"I'm sorry mother, but it is not in your place to argue, the king says this is his final verdict". Blair tells her, but she clears her throat in the silence to get everyone's attention.

Frederick and Brittany have been too quiet, sitting behind them, they couldn't say anything, what they have been made to see alone, have been too hard for them.

"It's like our guest, will like to say something? King Arthur asked, looking at the woman, who looks so much like Blair.

"Yes I would love to say something, that is, if I am permitted? She asked. Blair could already tell what she wants to say, and she kept trying to signal her, not so say anything, but she wouldn't even pay attention to the signs.

"But off course. You are permitted". He says with a smile.

"That k you king Arthur. Thank you Queen Marinara. Thank you young master Jayden and my daughter Blair, I thank you all.

I am a human, and I have no special powers, but I have a conscience.

Today, I have seen different shapes of wolves, like I read in books, you people are really super heros, that is, if you use your powers, for a good curse.

It was my daughter that she killed, but today, she is alive, because Jayden wouldn't let her go and that I am grateful for.

The king has said that the humans and witches and wolves, will now be as before, and I am so happy, to have you all as family, but let us not use blood shed, to start a new law.

I am pleasing my king, let us assume, that this law was not in existence before now, therefore, she didn't know.

Let us assume that she met a bad witch, let us assume, that she was under a spell, let us take today, as a new wake, but any other form of misbehaviour from now on, will face the law. This is my candid suggestion". She says and sat down, she was thinking she will hear some sound of encouragement, but when she looked around, all their faces looked like she just said the wrong thing. She wondered if Tangy had any family, she had heard someone cry, but even after she had said something in his favour, he went silent. Was that not the time for him to encourage her with a clap? or did she mistakenly said something else? She couldn't explain.

Tangy couldn't believe her ears, someone just stood up for her, that means, she might have a chance, and to think that the person that spoke up for her, was the mother of the same woman she killed, that means, Blair have forgiven her. Everyone waited for the king to speak, but he didn't seem to know where to start from.

He soon whispers something to his Queen, then clears his throat before getting up from his seat.

"I know from the perspective you are seeing it, and I understand, but this decision, was made by the council, unless if the council, want to change their mind here". He says, trying to make itore of the council issue.

Luther, a beta, the head of the council stood up, clears his throat and says.

The pack members are more than the council members, we can only allow Tangy live, if the majority of people here, say we should". Leo's hope increased, he looked around and started pleading with those around with his eyes, for they have come to see the guards cut off Tangy's head. Already the chains on her, were sucking her up, and she was loosing it, then she heard her father's voice.

"Please give me a chance to train my child well. I think because her mother is not around, there are things we missed out on". He was hoping for support, when those that works with her father raised their hands and one of them spoke.

"Please let Tangy go, she is naive".

Tangy looked up at her father, his eyes were swollen, it looked like he had been crying all through the night. He is the wealthiest member of the pack, but look at what she have reduced him to, her shameless act.

Sodom, a short man, the sorcerer found his way to the front, so that he could be seen and heard.

After the courtesy, he says.

"Jayden isn't her mate, but we didn't tell her, we chose a mate for her, because of her class, now we are regretting our actions. We were pushed, for we did not know the sort of Alpha we will have, so we needed seone from our side, to represent us, but now, we have come to realize that, we don't have to love like that, now we are going to try and correct our wrongs, so that we don't go against the moon goddesses again as we have done already. Damages have been done, but killing her, will mean, more damage, which we shouldn't go through". With what he just said, all the maidens and the young lads, who haven't gotten their mates, clapped. The ones that have started dating someone, hope their parents wouldn't force them to take someone they don't know or love for a mate, even though, it doesn't have to be about love at first.

After a long silence, it seem everyone agrees, and they all started clapping. Leo was so happy, he looked up to meet Tangy's drowsy eye, though years have been taken away from them, they still found their way back together, she was so happy, when their eyes met, he smiles and she smiles too, but the king will still have to say something.

King Arthur stood up and raised his hand, that shut everyone.

"Then, I will have to give my son the chance, to conclude this, for I don't like going back on my words". Their hopes dropped again, it was finally up to Jayden, he was the one affected by it all, if he doesn't feel it's right, he would say she should be killed, but instead of saying something, he decided to pass the task to Blair.
