Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 112

Chapter 1112

“You stand accused of the murder of Alina Whitehart, Leila. How do you plead?”

The head of the elder council asks Leila curtly in the pack house chamber.

The twelve elders of the pack are present including Trent, Carmela’s father.

The chamber is a building built adjoining but separated from the main pack house with an open roof. Despite the modern times, the elders have kept to the old ways and sat on the bare floor with their legs crossed.

They sit in a huge circle with Leila sitting in the middle earning glares from all of them and Tatum sits behind the circle, indicating his position as the Alpha.

“Innocent,” Leila replies in a calm tone, her eyes fixed on no else but Trent, Carmela’s father who is also the current head of the elders council.

It was he who rushed the summon against her and Leila knows it is not random, she feels weary about it but she keeps a straight face, determined to prove her innocence.

Normally, a murder case like this should be charged to court under the new laws of the pack but since the victim is the pack witch, the ancient laws must apply, her fate must be decided by the council.

A council that he is the head of and has great influence over.

“Liar!”

“Shut up, you devil.”

“We should burn her at the stake.”

“She should be beheaded.”

Some of the elders shun Leila immediately she pleaded innocent to the allegation laid against her.

Their voices were cold and harsh, condemning her and their anger and annoyance towards her was palpable.

“I didn’t do it,” Leila replies sharply, refusing to cower to their intimidation.

“You bloody usurper, tell us why you killed the wit~*

“Elder Manon,” Tatum’s cold voice cuts the man off. “Perhaps it is the Luna’s fault that she is so kind, you address her with such a name?”
