My life as I have known it is over. I am being charged with a murder that I did not commit. I know who did it though, she is my best friend and the one she murdered was trying to abduct her. When she called me for help as he was trying to get in her home, I ran to her house to help. He had already got in her house when I arrived. I am a pack warrior and help protect our pack and that is why she knew that if she called I would run to her to help. When I slipped in the door unnoticed, I saw that he had her in a grip that she could not escape from, me being a warrior I moved in behind him and got her away. We attacked each other, and when he was done on the floor after one of my hits, she picked up a statue from the fireplace and hit him over the head. I took the statue away from her, and that is when the alpha showed up, with me holding the murder weapon. Yes, he died later that night from the hit in the head.
The alpha ordered me captured and put in a cell, he did not ask me any questions, thinking that I was found with the weapon so I must have hit him. Me being a warrior did not help either. I knew how to defend myself so it looked like I must be to blame. The so called victim was a close friend of the alpha and his family. I knew that just by looking at him that he was trouble. He would look at a female like she was a snack to him. To would make comments about women only being alive for one reason and that was for his enjoyment. I never replied to any of his derogatory comments as to not stir the pot. He never liked that about me. I would never take any of his comments either so he did not like me either. That is why the alpha says that I murdered him.
The alpha never did know what he said to women behind his back, he was always the good old boy when he was around other men. No one told him or his family what his friend was saying behind his back either, so no one is going to back me up.
Once the victim, as what the alpha called his dead friend, I was put up for the charge of murder. He would call the werewolf council for the actual punishment as I hold a position of warrior for his pack. He is not allowed to punish me for my supposed crime.
When the council arrived two weeks later, they said for my punishment I was to be put in the council's cells for 7 years. Still at this point I was never asked why I did what they though I did. I being stupid never said a word, at this point not believing that my alpha, the one in charge I trusted with my life, and the council for who rule over us and are expected to be their for our people, wanted me to be locked up for 7 years for taking a statue away from my best friend. I was literally stunned at the decision.
I took the punishment because my best friend could not. She is really weak and could not be confined for any length. When she was little, her parents would lock her up in a dark damp closet for days before letting her out. All for spilling some food on the floor. They punished her for years until someone found out and told the alpha. He stepped in and took her away from her family and placed her in another home with a couple that could not have kids. He then sent for the council and they deemed the parents unfit, then they ousted them from any pack in North America. As far as I heard they are now in England, probably doing the same there. Anyway she put up with so much when she was younger and I knew she would not be able to take it.
Before my incarceration, I had not found my mate. I was only 19 at the time and figured by the time I get out my mate would have probably marked and mated someone else. When I was locked up I did feel pain in my chest around the 2nd year of my term. I figured he did not wait. While I was locked up I had to think of what I wanted to do after I got out. I could never be a pack warrior ever again because that was part of the punishment. Once they said I was charged with murder, I knew my future as a warrior was finished. Even if they ended up saying I was innocent I still had no future with the position. I cannot stay or really go back to my pack. I cannot be any pack's warrior either. No one would trust me now that I had a murder rap on me.
