Her

Chapter 36

I woke up to loud knocking on the door. "You two love birds need to wake up and get dressed! The Royal Council will be arriving in 2 hours!" Mecca shouts. I looked at my phone to check the time and it was 12pm. "Klaus!" I yelled and shook him. He shot up and asked if everything was okay. I reassured him everything was, but we slept in and needed to get ready fast. "I've never been to a royal council in my life Klaus. I wouldn't even know what to wear." I told him and he smiled. "What?" I asked. "As long as it's nothing too bright and too colorful, I believe you'll be fine." He says taking my hand as he gently kisses it.

I popped my head outside my door to see if Mecca left Klaus a suit and sure enough she did. I smiled. His suit was all black. There wasn't any other color to it.

I handed it to Klaus while I went into my walk in closet to see if I had anything close to black. Sure enough I had one black, but very elegant A frame dress. It came with long black gloves that extended just past my elbows and a black emerald crown.

I had just finished getting on my dress when I heard another knock at the door. This time I opened it and Mecca was ready to come do my hair and make up. She curled all of my hair and then put it in a tight bun leaving some of the curly hair out. She then did a mix of grey and black eyeshadow with a silver eyeliner finish. She also put black listen onto my lips. "You're deathly beautiful M'Lady." Mecca says smiling. It seemed to be perfect timing because Klaus walked out all dressed in his suit. My mouth dropped as I looked at him up and down. "Like what you see?" He asked with a chuckle.

I blushed slightly. He came up to me and kissed my forehead and then went to my ear and he whispered "I think after this trial today, I'm going to bring you back here, tear off that lovely dress of yours, and then bend you over and fuck you hard" my cheeks went from slightly red to full blown red. He smiled at me with satisfaction. "Excuse me you two love birds, but it's time." Mecca says. We followed her as she knocked on Alec's door. He came out wearing the same suit as Klaus. We continued on our way to where the trial would be taking place.

Mecca lead us outside past the gardens onto the trial grounds. Mecca never showed me this part but I suppose it was for good reason. There had been 20 chairs made into a perfect circle. I could also see Max and His wife chained to the cold and hard concrete. Their legs, arms, hands, and necks were chained to reassure they couldn't break or get out of them. Mecca guided us to our seats within the circle as we awaited for my parents and the rest of the council members to get here. I glared at Max and his wife. I couldn't stand the sight of them and I know they both felt the same way about me. More so Max.

My parents and the rest of the council members arrived within a few minutes after us. Everybody was in black. I assume this must always be a thing for the council, especially when they do trials. My parents sat next to me as my mom grabbed my hand and told me that Max and his wife were going to pay dearly not only for kidnapping me, but also the abuse I endured after I didn't turn right away. They told me that Max was going to receive the worse after he nearly killed me more than once.

"The King and Queen have called for a trial today against the traders for the kidnapping of their daughter and the abuse their daughter received shortly after she didn't turn into a wolf. Is the correct?" A man in a dark black hood asked.
"Indeed so" my father says. He walked over to Max and began questioning him. "Did you not know Max that a lycan doesn't change until they're 20? Did you also not know that Edith isn't just any ordinary lycan? He stared at Max waiting for an answer. "Not going to talk are we? I'll just have to ask that beautiful wife of yours. Maybe she'll come around." He says smiling. So Ezabith, did you not know either?

"N...N... No" She stuttered. "Oh she speaks ha ha. So tell me, did you not think that the two of you were going to get away with this without any punishment or sentencing?" She didn't answer. She looked at the ground. The man took out a sword and held it to her neck. "I think I should do you a favor and relieve you. It would be amusing to watch you die right infront of your husband. But luckily for you, it's not me who has a say, it's my council. Both of you deserve the worst" he says putting his sword back chuckling.

"Well it seems they're not big fans of talking. So severe consequences will be the punishment for the both of them it will be. Now what to do with the women first?" He says. "The woman just seems like a bystander and that's something we don't take lightly here. I say cut off her head and be done with her." A women spoke and most of their members nodded their heads in agreement. "Well m glad to see everyone agrees to what I thought of in the first place." He says with a smile. The man took his sword back out and walked towards Ezibath. Max growled, but there was nothing her could do. With one quick movement of his sword, Ezibeth's severed head hits the ground.

Max roared out in pure anger, hate, and hurt. "I PROMISE I'M GONNA KILL YOU CLAIR!" He yelled. All I could do was stare at him. They deserved everything they had coming to them. "Threatening the princess are we? I could just end your life right here just like your wife's but that would be way too easy. I think skinning you alive would be pretty fair. We just need to inject a high amount of wolfsbane into your system to ensure that you don't heal." The man says with an insidious smile. He motioned for two of his council members to come forward as they handed four viles of wolf's bane to him.

Max's anger turned into pure fear. The man grabbed a syringe from his hooded coat and stuck it into the first vile and quickly injected into Max. He screamed in agony. The man loaded up the next dose and injected it into Max. This time he roared but it was cut short when the third injection entered into his system. He made no sound this time and his body didn't move. He began crying and whimpering in pain. The man in the hood was about to inject the final vile into his system, something quickly slammed him into the ground and had him pinned.

"How dare you do this to an innocent man!" A female voice yelled. "How could you be doing this to your own kind?! This is my father in law you asshole!" She shouted. My heart raced slightly when it came to realizing it was Athena. She was surely going to be punished for interrupting and attacking a council member and a few more things. She let the man in the hood go as she stood up and turned and stared right in my direction. "Oh Clair, you poor thing. I really wish you would've died. It's okay, I'll just take care of you now you betraying bitch!" She yelled charging right for me.
