Focusing on the flowers, I smelled their gentle scent, trying to put my own bleak future out of my mind.
I had been full of hope once. Those were the memories I tried to hold onto now. The days when I thought I had a chance at being happy.
Jake’s POV
When I arrived at the courthouse today, there were twice as many protestors as the day before, which made me absolutely furious. Not only were these protestors making the proceedings more difficult logistically, they were also attempting to undermine my authority as Alpha.
No Alpha would be pleased to have their authority tested.
Typically, I would just walk by the masses, enter the courthouse and try to ignore them. But today, perhaps because I was still annoyed by Ian’s actions, which caused even Damien to attempt to throw his weight
