A Pure Hearted Mate

Chapter 50: Trial Completion

Considering the extremely of this case it is going to be given an immediate decision. We were all permitted to remain inside this court house until the verdict was decided. With this in mind, Judge Ian banged his gavel, and freeing the room to allow a wave of murmurs and conversations to start up once again.

Alpha Andrews was immediately cuffed and taken away by the bailiff along with a few guards that were police men. As we stayed in the court room, I felt a tug on my shirt from Leo who gestured for me to sit up and follow him out of this room.

I followed and once the big door closed behind us as we stepped back into the white marble hallway with the light coming in from the glass above. It felt nice just being out of that room to think. Now that there wasn't anybody watching me, I finally allowed my body to tremble. My feet felt rooted again and I couldn't stop myself from being stuck leaning against one of the four white pillars. But before I knew it I felt Leo moving to wrap his arms around my shoulders with one hand holding the back of my head.

The way he spoke effected me more than I thought it could have. His cold and sickening voice made chills run threw my very being. I felt myself trying to stop my lip from quivering as I felt the tears I had been trying to hold back started to fill me as I started to hold onto Leo with every bit of strength I could muster. And then, I let the tears I had been holding back fall onto his left shoulder as I buried my face into it. My cries of anguish sounding louder as the sound reverberated off of the walls.

He didn't say anything and just let me get it all out as his chin rested on the back of my left shoulder touching my nape. After I started to calm down more he started to whisper to me with his hands moving to holding middle and small of my back

" I'm very proud of you, Autumn. " I tried sniffling and rubbing my eyes into his coat he had on with his suit and tie. He lifted his face to have his lips near my ear saying trying to sound light-hearted " I promise you, that now you will never have to go through that again. " but then he said rubbing up and down my back comfortingly

" I'll also have a word with the Press and Alpha Ian to have the information they might have gotten be private. Or possibly get them to summarize and have as little details as possible. " With that thought in mind I didn't want to see a newspaper headline with what happened. I'd die if it was on the news. I tried to be as little specifics as possible because I wasn't going to tell everyone what I told Dr. Isabelle and Leo.

His words did ease my mind a bit and made me say steadily taking in a small breath in as I lifted my face out of his shoulder.

" Thank you. " but then I felt him pull away from the hug and said with a effortless look on his face " Your welcome.. " I noticed his eyes were for a second looking at my lips. It made it clear what he was thinking about and made me hesitate before slowly moving my face closer with my lips just above his. It was more of my way of welcoming him to kiss me if he wanted.

He got this then moved and kissed my lips which felt strangely hesitant but just as I started to kiss back more passionately he started to full away. When he pulled away I felt strangely confused and disappointed. But then I felt his left hand went to hold my right hand as his right brushed some of my hair behind my ear as he said

" I'd love to kiss you baby, but right now. I think we both should be alert and stay focused. " I understood that we can't let our guards down, but the kiss was a good distraction. Who knows what's to come next. I gave him a nod and he leaned his forehead on mine rubbing against mine while I felt his right hand gingerly brushing my cheek with his eyes half-lided.

After a bit we both went to the door and Leo was still holding my right hand in his left as we ended the court room again. The murmurs and silence were still thick in the air. As we walked we stopped by the row that Jay, Summer, and the others were sitting. We stood by the end asking them quietly
