Chapter 92 The Silene

Ada stood at the lectern with her eyes lowered and her arms wrapped protectively

around her belly. She was nervous and it showed.

“Lady Ava, you bring serious charges against your step¬sister to this court.” The

female voice stated.

Ada simply nodded without raising her eyes.

“So, in your own words, tell us exactly what happened in the room with Ann.”

Ada took a shaky breath as Ann turned her gaze toward where she stood. Their eyes

met for the briefest of moments and all Ann saw was the pure unadulterated hatred

that burned there, before it was quickly replaced with the all too familiar, doe-eyed

innocent look that usually graced her features.

“Well, we went to see Ann with the intention of smoothing things over. I at least

wanted to try one more time to make peace with her. I know I did wrong, and if I could

turn back the clock then I would do things differently but… wishing things would be

different… doesn’t actually change anything.” Ada said in a small voice as she sighed

deeply and raised her eyes to glance at Ann as if she truly meant what she said.

“Things had been going well, she had agreed to see us …at least speak to us and we

followed her into her office in good faith with the basket of goodies we had made for

her…more of a symbolic gesture. I wanted to do something nice for her… to show

how sincere I was. So I put together a list of treats that she enjoyed as a child and

spent a few days putting the gift basket together for her.” Ada continued quietly with a

wistful smile.

“Anyway, we sat and talked a while, Ann wasn’t happy about us showing up

unannounced, but she hadn’t thrown us out, so I thought that there was some hope at

least for a reconciliation… as did my mother. She left to get coffee and find Ann’s

a*s*sistant… Emma, I think her name was… and as soon as she left… that was when

Ann and her wolf, lost it.” She whimpered sadly, wringing her hands in front of
