Hazel's pov.

Now that I'm home safe with my mate and my old pack is gone, everything seems fine. The next few days went by well. The new members stayed in line and seemed more joyful. I'm in the kitchen when I hear my mate mind link me.

"Hazel, come outside and stay near me."

I walk outside and see him standing stiff a few feet away from the front door. I go over and stand beside him. He wraps his arm around me. All the sudden three large, scary, and old, looking men stepped into few.

"Are you Alpha Jasper, and is this your territory?"

"I am, and this is my land. What is this visit about?"

"News is spreading that you killed an Alpha and stole his wolves for no reason. We have come to investigate to see whether you will be punished."

"Do you wish to speak about this in my office?"

"Yes. We would like to hear your side of the story first then cross check it with evidence."

I stayed beside Jasper and examined the men. I wonder who they are and where they came from. We all walk to his office.

"I'm guessing this is your mate?"

I could tell he tensed up.

"Yeah, why does it matter?"

"We were just curious."

I take a seat beside Jasper while the three men sat in front of us.

"Now from the beginning, tell us everything."

He told them about how he first found me and my past with my pack. He moved on to how my old pack came back for me. Then he mentioned how we were attacked and I was taken. I showed them some of the scars that remained. He then got to the part about retrieving me and going back to kill my old Alpha. He told them how he didn't want them to hurt me again and the only way to stop them was kill him.

He told them he didn't steal the wolves but he gave them a choice of joining or not. He told them that the wolves who joined have been no trouble and seem happy.

"Well this just got more complicated. We are going to have to talk with those wolves and ask if their Alpha could have done this and some other things as well."

"I'll gather them so you know which ones came from his pack."

I stayed in the room while he went and gathered the wolves.

"Do you like it here?"

"I love it here. I have a pack that loves me and a mate who didn't reject me so it's great." J

asper walks back in.

"They are waiting outside."

The all three stand up and leave.

"Is everything going to be okay?"

"I'm not sure. Those three men are some of the oldest elders and they usually never get involved with small and simple things."

"So why are they bothering a simple pack Alpha death? Surely Alphas die every so often, do they have to check each death?"

"I honestly don't know. All we can hope to do is wait and see what happens."

I lay down beside Jasper and snuggle up. Soon sleep over takes me and I fall asleep on his lap. An hour later Jasper wakes me up to tell me the three men are done. The men come back in to the office and take a seat.

"We talked with each wolf and then among ourselves and we have decided with all the information that we have gathered that you shall be faced with a small and fair trial. There will be six wolves selected randomly to witness and choose whether you shall be sent to jail."

My mate doesn't seem as tense but still seems on edge.

"Once the trail is done will I be left alone?"

"If you don't get sent to jail then yes, we swear we won't bother you anymore."

I wonder how he can be so calm during this.

"When is the trail?"

"In three days. That will give us enough time to pick out six wolves and get the trail set up."

"I'll be ready." With that they stood and left.

"Are you worried about the trail?"

"Yes. I worried about the wolves they will pick because if the wolves they pick don't like me then they will say I'm guilty to just get rid of me."
