"Bring forth the accused!" Elder Rosalie announced while standing at the podium.
The trial was conducted in the Grand Hall, a location usually kept for the most important events in the pack. Thousands of wolves came to watch the proceedings. The Supreme Alpha and his small entourage had their own private viewing station. Carmen was by his side too.
On the other side, Damien was seated in his own viewing booth with Seth and Diana. He barely got any sleep, combing through what evidence they could find. All he could do now was hope that it would be enough.
Archer was brought onto the stand in silver chains. Everyone in the spectator stands gasped in shock when they saw him. He could barely walk on his own, but Archer held his head high.
He was not about to let his circumstances bring him down.
"Silence!" Elder Rosalie commanded.
But the spectators still continued, whispering amongst themselves.
"Silence!" Damien roared.
