Chapter 18

After a while Rita woke up, she had slept for about twelve hours after receiving the beating of her life. She looked around and she noticed she was back in her old cell, she also discovered she was healed.

"Old Dawn must have used her blood to keep me alive," she thought to herself observing how every part of her skin was looking like that of a newborn baby.

Old Dawn was at the front of her new cell and entered again, "I am not here to flog you for the second time, Rita. I am only here to discuss and tell you about the court proceedings and how it would be," Old Dawn informed her.

"Okay, I am all ears," Rita said. Old Dawn was confused. She wondered if Rita had forgotten about the whipping, she went too far and she got Rita unconscious. She knew very well that Rita had a potty mouth and if she didn't control herself she might eventually have a solid reason to kill her this time.

"Rita, the court proceedings in this land are not so different from the one In the human world it is very similar. A human from the human world would be coming to defend you in court. When he arrives I will inform you," Old Dawn said and paused.

Rita's eyes brightened, she thought no other human would ever know of her situation here, "how do humans defend humans in this pack where you condemn all humans to slavery?" Rita asked with boldness.

Old Dawn was preventing anything that would lead to her using the whip, she answered her saying, "when he arrives you can ask him any question you want to."

Rebekah and Luna Sarah were having a discussion, Rebekah was a respectful girl. But she could be over ambitious at times. Luna Sarah was especially fond of Rebekah because she saw herself in Rebekah.

"The show those slaves put up yesterday at the mating ceremony was uncalled for, I just want the trial to start and have that so-called Rita beheaded. What is your take on the issue, Rebekah?" Luna Sarah asked.

Rebekah was a young lady that also had political wisdom, her father had trained her on how to speak with Alpha and Luna since he is one of them. She was taught how to discern the motive of anyone that asked her the question and tell them what they wanted to hear.

"My Luna, those girls, who are they? Slaves, and prisoners. They are females with no reputation and standing in society. I was deeply ashamed when I saw the werewolves, respectable and noble werewolves swaying them. You have said it all they must be persecuted," Rebekah answered Luna Sarah and took a sip of wine with her.

Luna Sarah was pleased with the way Rebekah spoke; she then concluded that Rebekah would make the perfect Luna for her son Alpha Adam.

"What is even more depressing is listening to my son claim that she is his mate, the inner wolf senses told him so," Luna Sarah was not happy whenever people spoke about inner wolf senses.
