The Girl He Banished novel Chapter 1

The courtroom was filled to it's full capacity, as the pack members gathered to witness the most awaited judgement of the day.

Their eyes fixed on the 17 year old girl standing in the box of the accused. Looking down at her shaking hands, with eyes dead and face covered in an expression of pain.

Heavy chains of silver were hanging from her neck and her thin wrists were restrained in it's grip. A loose t shirt covered her thin frame.

As she stood oblivious to everything.

A Traitor's Daughter

Is what everyone was calling her. And those who said parents deed get transferred to their offsprings were proving true today.

"Derek Water's betrayal to our pack was rewarded by the pack members taking law in their own hands. On account of the tragic accident that happened in front of our eyes last night, I hereby announce justice to be served by unlawful ways."

Her grip on the banister tightens, as the dying face of her father. Flashes in front of her eyes.The brutal way in which her father was lynched by these very people, making her heart to bleed with no respite .

The tears which she thought got empty yesterday. Flooded out.

Telling her, they were going to be perennial, Just like the never-ending ache in her heart.

"Leaving us with Eirene Waters judgement. Which is going to be passed today."

A shiver runs down her spine, thinking about her fate. But she was ready to accept it, as it was bound to happen today.

"Do you Eirene Water's, knew of your father scheming to collude with the rogues and attack the other day?"

The council member asks making her subconscious mind to repeat in her ears.

Lie! Lie!

But she couldn't. She never could. She stood with what is right, and she will die before she disagree s with it.

"I did"

Gasps echo. With the eyes of the bystanders, burning in flames of anger. But she didn't cared. Knowing this was inevitable.

"And may the court know. Why did you agreed to remain silent, despite knowing it?"

Looking up, she meets the eyes of the speaker for the first time. Speaking in coldness.

"Because he was right. My father did nothing wrong by killing the Alpha."

The crowd went crazy. Seeing the girl blaming their dead Alpha, without any remose in her eyes. Some even jumping over to reach her, to be only stopped by the guards.

"Are you saying that your father was right in planning the attack and getting our Alpha Killed?"

She didn't think much. Answering without reluctance.

"Yes"

That was it. She signed her death sentence right there. Ready to meet her father in heaven or rather hell, if she has to.

The speaker places down his spectacles to sigh. Looking at the stupid yet daring girl.

"It's decided then. There is no rebuttal for it "

Eirene takes a deep breath. Closing her eyes. As the final judgement was going to be announced.Knowing already, that betrayal is rewarded with only one thing.

Death.

Yet call her crazy, but she felt happy. Content with it.

"Eirene Water's is hereby declared to be a traitor to the Redmoon pack, and as the elders of the council we declare her to be hang-..."

"Stop"

A voice booms in the hall. To have everyone to turn around to look at the man walking towards the front.

With their eyes widening.

Each and every person in the courtroom bows as the newly elected Alpha enters, taking the position of his dead father.

In whose case this court was making a declaration.

"Alpha King! Greetings!"

The entire council stood up. Welcoming their Alpha, to make the boy of mere 18 to nod.

His eyes locking with the brown eyes of the girl, he has known for last 17 years. To only continue, walking towards his throne.

Eirene's eyes widen. Seeing him enter. And she wished he hadn't.
