Doors slammed and Ethan held the door open for me. The walk to the trial was eery and quiet. Beta followed behind us, with Gamma Olivia and Gabe trailing closely. The trial was taking place at the same place the ball was held.
I held my breath as we walked into the building hand in hand with Ethan. His touch giving me the comfort I needed. Before I dropped my head, Kor urged me to lift my head as we walked over the threshold.
One long mahogany table is lined up at the far end of the hall and smaller mahogany tables line up adjacent to the long one. Ethan squeezes my hand before heading over to the long table where he sits on the largest of six tall wooden chairs. Wooden vines swirling up towards a wooden crown at the top of the chair. Two wolves on each side of the crown and the armrest changing into claws.
