You’ve got to be kidding me "That’s ridiculous," I scoffed "I’d never kill anyone" It didn’t ht the blood splattered on my face I wanted to object and believe in uilty

"Then tellinto ain "Tell o out for a run last night and kill an anio for a run, but not in wolf foruys," Elle said, peeking her head into the bathrooaze in the rown fond of Elle, and noas going to be killed for supposedly killing others

"This doesn’t concern you," Nicholas said, stepping in front of her to block her way

"What aboutinto view "She’s part ofon" My heart stopped beating for a ht

"Isn’t it obvious?" Nicholas said snidely "Look at her"

"I wasn’t ae convicted people without concrete proof," Ada just in front of me

"Is blood on her face, dirt on her feet, and the confession of having another dreah?" Wade bit out It was a pity Wade was being such a jerk, I was starting to like him

"Does the blood on her face match the murdered woman’s? If she was the killer wouldn’t she of woken up like this before? I find it a little odd that this happened after the leaders arrived," Adam countered I watched the muscles in his arms flex as he crossed theers at Wade, while I wished I could feel those ars cloud your judg Adam’s question "If this were any other person, you’d be as ready to convict her as we are"

Was it that obvious? Did the entire pack know Adas for each other? I wondered if the leaders spoke to Adam about our predicament and reminded him of his duty to Eve If they had, it didn’t show Ada me anymore and even put his neck on the line to defend me

"That’s not true," Adam replied "I would want a fair trial for any ree with your verdict, or I can defend her"

"We have a member on the police force," Wade said "I’ll have him run a DNA test on the blood found on Anna and the victih for you? I’d hate to have to kill two people because one of them is hard up"

"Wait, what? Why would you have to kill two people?" I asked, turning to look at Wade

"Her lack of knowledge about our laws is astounding," Wade said to Adaht on your behalf If an alpha believes that one of his wolves is being unfairly judged, he can fight one of the leaders If he wins, the accused goes free," Wade told hting for me It wasn’t that I didn’t believe in hi, but there was a reason the leaders were leaders They’d been the strongest of the bloodline and earned their positions

"And what if he doesn’t win?" I asked, ination," Nicholas chi back and forth while words failed to for downpeople, I will accept the punishhI didn’t want to die, but I wouldn’t allow someone else pay for my crimes If the blood on my face was in fact thethat three people were dead because of me? I wasn’t about to add another body to that count Adaun so he’d ht

"It seems your pack mate doesn’t have as much faith in her innocence as you do, alpha" Nicholas snorted
