Chapter 44: The Crucible

  (h 30th, Year 665 of the 4th Age)

  The initial rays entered my chamber, nding on my eyes. I bestirred on my bed, waking up to my sanguineous inamorato’s and Róstran’s arms. My brother slept with me ever since I found out about Gellir’s trial on h 27th. Today was the day, and I dreaded and had nightmares about fag my tormentor. Róstran appeared in my bedroom st night under simir reasons and slept on my left side. Silently, he left Lárus and I in my room, putting on his habiliments.

  I sensed Lárus stir beside me. “M, love.” He enunciated.

  “M honey,” I responded, osg his forehead.

  Lárus requited me equally. “It’s finally the day.”

  “Yeah,” I drawled out lugubriously.

  Lárus shifted his nude physique. “It’ll be smoother than you anticipate. Dad and Tandri have the predominance, and Róstran and I have the eye-witestimohat’s more than suffit to vict Gellir.”

  I smiled an iota outside of his view. “Thanks for your fidence.”

  “I gotta be as y brother and mate. That way, you have at least someoo rely on when you .” He nibbled my left ear.

  I perceived his penis caress my her region. “And it’s my job as your spouse and little sister to be someone you vent and release your energy.”

  “You still have needs I o be aware of, too.” Lárus shifted my body until I was on his omphalos, fag his dick. “Knock two birds with oone.”

  I felted him, and he licked my pussy. We were qui the oral sex, not even wasting time on the sensual side. Our parents alerted us for breakfast, prompting a faster celerity. I got him ejag in my muzzle, but he didn’t transform my womanhood into a cataract. Our passionate smooches aggrahe salty, virile residuum on my toil we absolutely had to leave my room.

  “Still ime to acclimate to the fvor,” Lárus uttered, grimag and gagging slightly.

  I took my sweet time ingurgitating my viands during breakfast, prolonging the iable. I twirled my fork frequently on the a chockablock with starch, fruit, a. Every thought of entering Gellir in the courtroom evinced horrific trauma of my forced copution.

  My parents must’ve felt the exact gravity of the occasion as I did. Dad wasn’t fidgeting with his blue balls and effeminate, cy jockstrap, and mom didn’t do anything to exasperate his oversexed cupisce further like she did all month. She got up and pced the filthy dishes in the sink.

  “How are you feeling, K?k??” Dad inquired through the sound of cttering ptes.

  “Not well,” I answered mencholically.

  Dad moved closer and rubbed my right arm. “I swear to Faer I’ll do my best to have Gellir and Rikka locked up or at least have the former sent to prison for a long time. He won’t harm you anymore.”

  “Thanks, dad.” I gave him a hug when he gesticuted for one.

  The church I went to became the impromptu courthouse. It didn’t matter if it was inally meant for Fenri of a specific sect; everybody in and near álfsandur gregated there. The trial was the in vogue topic ever sihe arrest. I noticed two distinct groups in the crowd as I went through it: my side ellir’s side. The tter outnumbered the former. I became Róstran and shrunk from the pierg eyes.

  I sat at the very front row with mom on my left and Lárus and Róstran on my right. Hrafnir and his wife were directly behind us. Dad was in the front, still in his girly underwear. A wood barrier separated the audience from the prosecutor, defendants, and the defendants’ advocate. However, it wasn’t enough to keep Gellir from desg me and waving at my dire. I imploded from fear, and Róstran had a nervous paroxysm. Lárus s Gellir, pulling me and Róstran closer to him. Most of the entities, including me, Lárus, and Róstran, had raiments on. Gellir and Rikka were one of the st feere naked, and Dad was the only one who wore an epie jockstrap.

  The judge appeared and ensced on his throhe robe had a sizable amount touch the floor, matg his dark crimson fur, and he had a monocle around his left eye. He tapped the paper on the wooden, tall desk until all the sheets were

  “All rise,” the judge ordered in a booming voice. His tone was just as anding as dad, and Róstran behaved simirly. Everyo after sweariy tod, try, and the Alpha Prime. “Today, we have on the docket the trial against Gellir and Rikka. Gellir stands accused of rape, orchestrating a gang-rape of two Fenri, and possession of illegal substances. Rikka’s crimes are aiding and abetting the rapes and also possession of illegal substances.” He turo dad. “Alpha Brákfur— proceed.”

  “Thank you, Your Honor.” Dad stood up and got in front of the table, uttering a disquisition about Gellir’s opprobrium and why it was worthy for severe amert. “My first evidence is Gellir’s penis.” He looked at Gellir. “Start getti.”

  Gellir snorted. “Why would I show my cock to the crowd and the judge?”

  Dad nodded, appearing serious. “Just do it.”

  Gellir folded his arms. “No.”

  Dad turo the judge. “Please he defendant’s refusal to demonstrate his ere in front of everyone, and I request permission to stimute his penis just for providing evidence, Your Honor.”

  Gellir appeared fbbergasted. “You want to stimute my penis yourself? Isn’t that one of the Forbidden Five acts?”

  Dad nodded once, folding his arms. “It is if we were doing it for pleasure, which I’m not, and I don’t roll that way. I’m not afraid to cross that threshold with or without your sent if you remain acious. Which will it be?”

  “No way!” Gellir huffed.

  “Your Honor, I fail to see why my son’s penis is necessary as evidence,” Rikka uttered stoically.

  The judged gesticuted towards dad and Gellir. “You may proceed, Alpha Brákfur, but you better have a damn good reason for such a drastic measure.”

  “Very well, Your Honor.” Dad turo Gellir. “Yonna e to me oing tooo hauling your ass over here. I’ll t to three. Owo… time’s up.”

  Dad swiftly moved to and dragged Gellir's fu away from the table, throwing him over his shoulder. “Put me down!” Gellir demurred violently, pounding dad’s back repeatedly.

  I caught part of dad’s lips curl into a smirk. "If you insist,” he articuted.

  Gellir plopped on the ground and stayed there as dad pinned him. He attempted to throw him off, utilizing his pure Direfenri sinew. Fear settled in his eyes, realizing dad had all the leverage. “Shit.”

  I beheld dad reach down and grope Gellir’s sheath. Gellir struggled and expostuted as the acicur tip protruded into his hands. He went through his mission, undaunted by the protest and the datum he was sexually toug another male. Even the girly jockstrap and chastity cage had a nullity of an impact against his Alpha prowess. More of the pecker was subjected to his fingers, and I heard pleasurable vocals from Gellir through all the demurrals, the precum all over the sausage.

  “Your knot is an obstreperous bitch,” dad grunted, increasing his jerks.

  “Unhand my dick, you bastard!” Gellir writhed to liberate himself.

  “Shut up,” dad snarled. “You are making it so arduous to e towards the most drastid. It’s the least you deserve for what you did to my daughter.”

  Dad transmigrated his ium to Gellir’s dong. I perceived slurps, and his head bobbed up and down. My crotch became moist, and my stomach ed as I checked off certain boxes that aroused me. Two males were fornig, and the heterogey in their sizes was indisputable. My stepfather wore effeminate underwear, his burly, muscur size boosting my cupisce further. In addition, I witnessed Gellir receive his euppance despite it being a pygmy version of what he rightfully deserved.

  My stepfather reoriented Gellir and shoved two fingers into Gellir’s anus in front of everyone, and he felted him coevally. The whole chamber was silent aside from them coputing aing coitus. I forced myself to break eye-tact from the lubricious show and s the crowd. Everybody was frozen. No doubt they were transfixed by the bewitg, libidinous osure ihe church.

  Gellir had his asm no matter how much he wa, ejag into my stepfather’s muzzle. His hips instinctually bucked against dad’s lips throughout the whole climax. I observed dad guzzle down his semen.

  —————————————————————————————————————

  Dad shoved Gellir to his inguinal region, pressing Gellir's nose against his cy jockstrap. “Get to work.”

  “Burn in hell!” Gellir vociferated.

  Dad moved the pou his epie underwear aside, and his penis sprung free from its cage, sending the chastity devito the air and nd with a g. He held Gellir’s head in pce, forced Gellir’s mouth open, and thrust his penis into him. “What’s that? ’t quite hear you, although it's rude to talk with your mouth full.”

  Gellir frantically waved his corybantic arms as dad treated his physiognomy like a female t. They touched dad’s sides, back, and glutes, and dad had a pernicious, predatrin when he grabbed the testicles. Dad unleashed a virile paroxysm simir to someone pulling his tail. Long strands of drivel and precum hanged off his lips and dad’s penis, and his cheeks were roseate.

  I heard dad ferociously sp his balls against Gellir’s visage. Then, he froze his boy and howled toward the ceiling as his gonads tracted fugaciously. White seed went down Gellir’s cheeks before he pulled out. He appeared jod and relieved while ejag and experieng his asm for the first time sinduring mom’s scivious, amatory torture for a month straight. No part on Gellir’s paund upper torso survived the salty deluge.

  Gellir appeared gd, but his tenance quickly ged to horror when dad reoriented his body. “What’s going on?”

  “You think this is over?” Dad catechized while sing his jockstrap for a legitimate pair of unmase undergarments, magenta panties. He tched onto Gellir’s fu with his hands. “I experienced a tinuous case of blue for what seemed to be an amaranthine amount of time because of my mate. My testicles are full of cum, and they’re impl me to breed.” He pulled him closer to where Gellir’s posterior adjoined his crotch while Gellir desperately crawled away. “So, yoing to be my mate and bitch who’s going to be gravid with my pups until I’m spent, which won’t be for awhile, and I’ll treat you exactly as you did to my daughter. It’s the least I do for your requital.”

  “Aren’t you going to intervene?!” Gellir demahe judge in a beseeg tohis has to viote so many court politesses and ukases!”

  The judge shrugged. “I’ll allow it.”

  “How’s this providing substantiation to corroborate his apriorism that I’m guilty?” Gellir turned and kicked dad on his chest. “Let go of me, you fug faggot! You besmirch the title of Alpha!”

  Dad licked his lips while liberating his dick from his girly gossamer. “At least I’m not the kind of fag that’s a slut for anything phalli his boy-pussy. That’s what you’ll bee ohis is over, and Salf?egrí will be jubint to have a brand new boy-toy as a cocksleeve. Now, hold still. I’m ing in hot.”

  “Don’t you— gah!”

  I observed Gellir’s wide eyes while dad initially perforated his anus with a stil of precum as lubrit, g his homosexual abstemiousness. Judging by them, I presupposed the ck of preparation gave him anguish. They were stupefied, mortified, and shellshocked, just like how my eyes were acc to my brood. My lips jubintly curled.

  Dad arched Gellir’s posterior up to barbarically and murderously pee it, exploiting his sio pin him. Sellir— I saw nothing about him having coitus with another male that stymied any Alpha aura he exuded. He demonstrated he was still the top despite wearing panties. I impugned anything would make people proselytes to your belief that dad wasn’t an Alpha.

  Dad reached down to Gellir’s ere, smirking. “You say I’m a faggot for fug your fu right now even though I’m doing it out of retribution for Kaera, but your boner’s veying to me and everyone else here that you relish being a sissy whore to a husky Fenri like me.”

  “Get off me, and I’ll see to it your jouro Salf?egrí will be swift,” Gellir responded, huffing.

  “Faer. Look at how much pre jetting out of your penis. You really are a slut.”

  “Fuck you!”

  Dad’s gri wider and toothy. “Agog, are you? Now, who’s really tarnishing whose prestige here?”

  “Once I break free, you’ll— fuck!” Gellir had his asm and ejacuted onto the floor, his penis guided by my stepfather’s hand.

  “Ha! You came just from me fug your ass. Pathetic. I wonder how many times I make you cum without toug your dick before I discharge my cream into your rectum.”

  The sounds of dad’s testicles savagely spping against Gellir reverberated throughout the churobody dared to add to the cacophony of primal sex and Gellir’s bellyaches. Watg Gellir’s kismet gave me bittersweet euphoria, and dad appeared bedeviled with his treatment tellir. The thought of yanking dad’s tail had its merits. I reached into my pants, caressing my moist, aroused vulva and clitoris. My fingers were saturated like my estrus was in session. I noticed Lárus, Róstran, and nearby family members masturbating, too, and the st of lechery entered my nostrils.

  Gellir frantically cwed towards liberation and salvation. His ere wobbled wildly aed precum like a fountain. asms came a like clockwork even though dad didn’t ejacute into his anus yet. I jectured dad rimed for o mastered the ability to activate it at any point and exploited it to torture him. The positions morphed as they wrestled. He would be on top although escape was otiose, and dad would take over. Doggystyle, missionary, and cowgirl were the most on in the myriad of sexual positions.

  Dad yipped when Gellir socked him on the he sudden strike stupefied him evaly enough to give Gellir an opening. Gellir seized the moment, shoving him away and disrupting his equipoise. I felt a gust of wind as Gellir skedaddled down the aisle to the door. Aronger burst of air assaulted me as he hotfooted it toward him, irately st back while lugging Gellir by his neck. The way he exuded irascibility while maintaining ataraxia coerced my physique to quaver. I jectured part of his tetess was because of the sudden interregnum in sex, judging by his pulsating boner, and he plopped on the floor with Gellir straddling him.

  “Disastrous move on your part,” dad gutturally growled, his hands on Gellir’s hips. “Now, you must suffer the repercussions.”

  “I’m sorry! Please, don’t gh with this!” Gellir importuned with a panicky tone and expression. “I learned my lesson— both of them!”

  “Unfortunately, they’re deli.”

  “No!” Gellir drawled out.

  Dad plunged Gellir onto his ere, and Gellir vociferated in agony. His celerity and puissan his arms disrupted Gellir’s vellications, making him freeze in distraught. The knot came out, and Gellir became more disquieted. It went in with a sudden jerk, sealing Gellir’s fate, and Gellir discharged semen again.

  Dad chuckled after his climaxed deliquesced. “Now, you’re my mate.” Gellir’s paunch expanded wider from his penis pumping additional spunk into Gellir’s rectum.

  “Your body will be exanimate,” Gellir growled tankerously. “Rest assured, I’ll guarahe process will be ditory and excruciating.”

  “Yeah, yeah.” Dad responded ptuously.

  Gellir’s eyes enrged as I beheld dad’s tenance express relief. “He’s pissing in me!”

  “It’s aep to officially firm you are to bear my pups,” dad uttered, sighing from assuaging his bdder. “I ingurgitated a lot of beverages and eschewed from peeing while waiting for this moment. Still have a huge reservoir of urio release.” Minutes went by while he micturated, and his knot prevented any excreta from leaking out, distending Gellir’s omphalos further. “That’s much better.” He looked at the audience, gestig at Gellir. “Have at him, folks.”

  “No!”

  I watched the audie up and formed a line while denuding their raiments, both male and female. Hrafnir was first in line in the uneven saturnalia, wearing bck, silk panties. Dad was decumbent along with Gellir while he ambuted to them. He forced Gellir’s mouth open and shoved his member down Gellir’s throat, sandwig Gellir in the sixty-nine position. Coevally, dad bathed his s’s gonads in saliva.

  It appeared Gellir begrudgingly capituted to his predestination as a whore. The struggles and squirms surceased, and he appeared mortified and dumbfounded. He didn’t express his remonstration while Hrafnir felted him and dragooned his remuion.

  The spunk materialized on Gellir’s lips as Hrafnir gritted his teeth. He followed his begetter’s footsteps, and the white, agglutinative batter turned yellow and aqueous. Not only did he drench Gellir in urine, his father received a hefty deluge of piss on his fur and panties. Dad also sighed with relief again, and Gellir’s stomach gradually expanded again.

  Dágfárik and Rynaki, naked, were the o gangbang Gellir. Dad and Gellir remained procumbent. They ensced on Gellir, pressing their genitalia against his penis. Rynaki held the three pricks together with his left hand, and they ehe chafing. It didn’t take long for precum to reify and coruscate their penises.

  Eventually, Dágfárik broke from the frottage, pnting his posterior on Gellir’s tenance. Dad grabbed his member and balls with both hands and jacked him off while Gellir tasted his anus. Rynaki escated the frottage to having Gellir’s cock within his sphihe two stepbrother’s pyed musical chairs on Gellir, trading his pecker and physiognomy between themselves. Dad settled for their puckers when they intensified the game by face-fug my former inamorato.

  Rynaki was the first to ejacute down Gellir’s throat, trading pces with Dágfárik. Once Dágfárik finished cumming, they also marked Gellir as their mate by pissing on him, and dad’s fur and panties became colteral damage.

  Mom, ?signís, and Bryngereur gathered around Gellir with strap-ons on their ts, having predacious visages. Dad stood about, revealing harbingers of his fccid penis while tying rope to Gellir. “Keep it in there just a little longer.” Mom enunciated. All the females fathered at Gellir’s her region, ebulliently stig their tongues out like they were horny from being i. “We’re ready.”

  “Alright,” Dad grunted as he withdrew from Gellir’s taint.

  A golden cataract hypostatized out of Gellir’s posterior aperture I beheld three tongues wrestle underh it to feasibly collect every drop of urine and semen, ag sciviously with each other. My abominable nemesis remained where he was, suspended by the bindings. The wrestles morphed into sacious smooches uhe cascade, and I teo my loins. The soce from my tormentor’s repeo society made the situation tolerable enough to bestir some perfervid fire within me.

  The r waterfall reduced to a steady trickle, and the females voked their muzzles around the pink ring. I perceived audible slurps after ?signís stretched the sphincter. Mom’s head moved more thahers, so I presumed she cimed first dibs on it. Eae had a solid minute of aloime with Gellir’s pucker. Then, they feasted on it currently.

  Mom inaugurated the pegging by spinning Gellir’s rump toward her fake endowment, and ?signís had his muzzle. Tears streamed down his cheeks— a salmagundi of pain, mencholy and ignominy. She allowed Bryngereur to yaail and activate the especial reservoir of primal, ardent passion a Fenri or Direfenri possessed. Her personality reverted to a feral animal, and she savagely tenderized his buttocks.

  The force propelled Gellir forward, sending ?signís’s strap-on further down his throat. His roseate cheeks distended from the fn invader, and he appeared he wao gag. Mom pulled out, shoved her artificial phallus into his mouth, and Bryngereur took over his ass while ?signís did some frottage. The cycle phlegmatically pleted itself four times before all the females deheir sex toys and unleashed steady streams of piss on his pilose body.

  I watched every mature Fenri and Direfenri in and around álfsandur take part in the one-sided baal, cum in or on Gellir, and urinate on or ihe white Direfenri. Tandri, the members in the Phenomenal Five, and my friends had their turns. Manasína was her ostentatious self as the pygmy ball of hirsute energy behaved like a sugar-crazed, oversexed rabbit. Eventually, it was Lárus’s and Róstran’s turn.

  A lilliputian amount of guilt formed within me when Róstran had Gellir’s anus. One, he had the hugest penis around. His size didn’t prove it, but he ure Direfenri, too, so he had the reserves worthy of one, and Lárus activated it. The third reason was what made me have a stil sympathy. His rage from all the abused he suffered ixed with the supercharged amorousness. I heard the choler behind his vocals as he perforated the victim’s sphincter.

  My rea to Róstraing his retribution was simir to the legion’s response. I perceived Gellir’s call for clemency even though my sanguineous brother’s penis was in his maw. His snot coated the shaft. Lárus ejacuted down Gellir’s throat, followed by pellucid urine.

  However, Róstran wasn’t satiated yet with his vengeance. He held Gellir by his legs, spread them out, and forced him to rest on his neck. The new angle made him thrust straight down, and only the knot remained out. Every profanity known Illyria was fair game to him, and he was innovative with new maledis that I feared Faer or some god would smite him for his impiety.

  Whether he meant to or not, Róstran got his knot inside Gellir’s anus. The output of his sperm and fluid, translucid excreta created a bulge on Gellir’s paunparable to when dad discharged spunk and micturated inside Gellir. Speaking of dad— I thought I heard my stepfather’s anding tone when Róstran turo me and uttered. “e over here, Kaera.”

  ———————————————————————————————————————

  I came back to reality and made note of my enviro, ratioating on what was real or fi. Everyone was in their seats. Dad was in his effeminate, cy jockstrap with his chastity cage intact, and he had semen on his body and around his lips. Gellir covered his ere that had vestiges of cum driveling out his urethra, having a case of chagrin. So, dad didn’t have anal sex with Gellir and piss inside him, and he didn’t offer the whole town participate in a gangbang.

  “Excuse me?” I said, rapidly blinking my eyes.

  Dad gesticuted to a vacuous space adjoining him. “e over here and remove your entire habiliments.”

  I reverted bay old ways for once since being insout about being nude months ago. Slowly and meekly I got up from my seat and walked to where my stepfather pointed. My vestments and underwear came off, and I turo the crowd, presenting my naked obloquy. I felt the dyads of eyes peel the yers off me, growing they would find my other sins.

  Dad appeared slightly in front of my, gesturing at my exposed muliebrity. “As you see here, Kaera had a male shove his knot intina.”

  Rikka stood up. “So, you prove my son and Kaera had premature sex and lost their virginities prior to the Mating Ceremony. They should go into exile, and we be doh this asirial.”

  I observed dad snarl before he turo Rikka. “Not so fast, Alpha Rikka.” Someohrew him a towel imbrued with water, and he looked at me after he caught it. “Who cimed your chastity, Kaera?” He wiped the seed off his lips and physique.

  “Gellir,” I timorously answered.

  “Is that it?” Rikka taunted. “Her word? Even if you have more proof my son fornicated with her a all the way, you still ’t prove he raped her.” I shivered from his gelid gaze. “I bet she takes after Hlédís and coputed with another male just like her.”

  Dad chucked the towel aside after he surceased wiping the salty cream off. “Let’s test that. Was Gellir the first male you had i in, Kaera?”

  “Yes,” I stammered.

  “Was he the only male?”

  My eyes briefly twitched toward Lárus and somewhat at Róstran before refog oire audiend dad. “Yes.”

  Dad asked my friends and some cssmates from school, and they corroborated my story. He turo Gellir, who was insed while c his did gonads. “Same questions, Gellir.”

  Gellir gred at dad. “Yes, and we had anal sex.”

  “No, we didn’t!” I immediately vociferated.

  “Only because he coerced her unfairly by Róstran asylum as his end of the deal!” Lárus shouted, and I gred at him for bollixing my prevarication.

  “One more outburst out of you when you don’t have permission, and you’ll be escorted off the grounds,” The judge warned Lárus, sound irascible. He rubbed between his eyes.“Even if you speak the truth about Gellir dragooning Kaera towards unwanted sex, we ’t substantiate they had coition via her anus because there’s no physical evidence readily disible. Is there anyone else that verify they sensually had coitus or if Gellir browbeaten her into her ass?”

  évéy stood up. “I .” I had trepidations if she would throw me in front of a stampeding horse to remove me from tention.

  “Did Gellir force Kaera to have sex with him before the crime?”

  évéy nodded. “Yes. I watched Kaera and Gellir engage in anal intercourse. Initially, I cerebrated they did it with each other’s dispensation. Then, Aealst?nn elucidated me that Gellir forced him into submission, impelled him to leave Róstran alone, aold me Gellir had a minacious grin wheold him Kaera had a substantial debeo pay off.” I internally sighed with relief. “This case isn’t the first time it occurred at Gellir’s house, by the way.” For once, Gellir shot death daggers out of his eyes at someone on the same echelon as him.

  The judge jotted down évéy’s avowal, followed by Torb?rn’s testimony. “Anything more substantial and irrefragable than words?” He addressed dad.

  Rikka nodded in currence, appearing an iota tankerous. “Yes. I, too, grow petunt rapevines.”

  Dad spleically narrowed his eyes at Rikka. “For my exhibit,” he gesticuted toward Tandri, “I request Tandri’s testimony along with the physical evidence.” He gestured to his assistant, who then handed him a familiar potion and herb. “You know what these are, Tandri?”

  “Indeed, I do,” Tandri answered after vag his seat and joining him, Rikka, Gellir, and me. , he coughed stentorianly. “The herb allows a male to be temporarily effete and stymies the knot from infting for those whose have one as part of their penises. However, the effects easily transition and make them perdurably sterile, and it is quite addictive. That is why it is banned and heavily reguted for those that have permission to work with it, such as me.”

  Dad lowered the herb and raised the co. “And this?”

  Tandri sighed dourly. “Unfortunately, yes. It immobilizes an individuals entire body. The person feels everything and is fully aware of its enviro, but it is uo move a single sinew for the duration. The potion is heavily reguted just like the herb.”

  Dad walked to the judge ahe items with him. “These were at Rikka’s house when I rescued Kaera with some help.” He aowledged Tandri, Róstran, and Lárus with an admirable nod.

  Rikka folded his arms. “Five me if I’m mistaken, but Alphas have access to them, and I assure you, Your Honor, that only I enter my personal chamber at home. Not even my mate and progenies enter without risking serious castigations.” I wasn’t cocksure if Gellir pyacted or not when he shivered.

  Tandri turo Rikka, still looking saturnine. “Except, the potion is prohibited among most Alphas, even you and Brákfur. I have the extraordinary endorsement from the Alpha Prime himself because I e from a long line of Vueurri’s disciples and my benefiy try and the military.”

  “So, how did it get in my house in the first pce? How you prove it and the herb came directly from me? The herb could’ve e from anywhere.”

  Tandri coughed. “You’re correct about the herb, although someone burgrized my shop and stole the potion. Initially, I thought it was some juvenile being jejuhen, I scoured my shop closer and discovered the ck of that brew.” Tandri bared his teeth as he snarled a his hirsute physique, and I jumped in fright and got horripition from his sudden paroxysm. “And I wouldn’t even dare rumi going back to that former role! So, don’t envisage any thought of me poisoning Kaera!”

  “It’s alright,” dad calmly cooed, embrag Tandri. “Those days are over, and you don’t have to live that previous life anymore.”

  The affidavits and physical evidence went bad forth for hours. Rikka got his ce, and he made a t polemic. I took my seat after putting on my habiliments, fretting and internally quavering my side didn’t make a clusive expostution as well as he did. This was his prestige at war with dad’s illustriousness.

  The church got heated several times from perfervid outbursts. A few fists flew, and the judge threw those Fenri out. However, they did not pare to the cmor outside ohe trial cluded, and I went outside. My doubts aggrandized expoially as I cluded the majority took Rikka’s side and had derision towards my opprobrium. Dad was in protective mode while he escorted me and his family, coadjutors, and allies through the boisterous horde, and his underwear didn’t diminish his lowery, intimidating aura.

  We broke threw the legion, and I had a ce to breathe. Dad helped Tandri, who hacked some phlegm, into his house. I noticed évéy and had an opportunity to talk to her after her father and mother, a bck Fenri and a red one , respectively, went into a bakery. The dissimilitude iinctures eculiar.

  “Hi, évéy,” I timidly murmured.

  “Salutations,” évéy responded, nodding once. “Quite the trial, isn’t it?”

  “It’s nerve-wrag,” I quickly uttered. “I holy thought my fate was sealed for the worst when you spoke up.”

  “Rule hree, remember?” I nodded. “Plus, Gellir had it ing for years.”

  I tilted my head. “How so?”

  “I didn’t know my biological parents whatsoever. I knew I had zero sanguinity to my current family, and they eventually told me the truth.
