Khloe
I wasn't dragged into the court room like usual. I was only handcuffed when I got to the same stand that I was the last time only that this time, I wasn't put under a pendulum like the last time.
I knelt down before everyone as we awaited the presence of the alpha.
Writer's POV
The witches had gathered at dawn to commence the ritual.
Since they already had his blood, they needed no more time to waste.
Having known about the fact that he was a Primordial, they knew they had to put in their utmost best if they wanted the ritual not to backfire.
Little did they know that they didn't even need the slightest effort to get the ritual working.
The ritual would only be difficult if the heart of the target wasn't void of love. Derrick's heart wasn't void of love, it also wasn't filled with love. Nevertheless, as long as it wasn't void of love, the ritual would be very effective.
They gathered around a very big caldron which was placed on a burner. They poured Derrick's blood into the caldron and then waited for a while before they began to chant spells and incantations.
As they did, the spirit of their dead brother witch appeared before them. It made screeching sounds before finally disappearing.

I waited patiently as the alpha walked to his seat.
" Hey are you feeling sorry for the human girl?" A middle aged female lycanthrope sitting beside me asked.
" No, of course not. I guess I'm just too eager to hear the alpha's judgement." I replied her with a slight chuckle filled with nervousness.
" Are you sure? Because you are sweating and fidgeting." She asked, not believing me.
" Of course yes. I sweat a lot so, yeah." I replied her.
She only gave me one long weird stare before looking away.
" Greetings to you all. We are gathered here today to witness the judgement of the human girl and one of us whose mate was murdered only a few nights ago. Let's all rise to the alpha." Jamal spoke before the whole pack, looking as serious as ever.
Before the alpha stood up to speak, Anubis was brought into the court, looking so sober in her white widow dress.
Lycanthropes will always be lycanthropes. Anubis and the human girl had both committed serious crimes against the pack but only the human was punished like a criminal. Anubis was still allowed to sit among the royals. I wonder why the moon goddess still allowed them to breathe.
Immediately she was sitted, we all stood to our feet in respect of the alpha's presence.
" Long live alpha Derrick, king of the lycans, king of all." I felt so disgusted saying those words but I had no choice. If I wanted to remain alive to see the end of the lycanthropes, I had to give up my pride.
" You may all be sitted." He replied curtly.
"I do not need to go over the crimes of Anubis and the human girl any more as we are all aware of it. Indeed they have cost us all a great loss. Anubis for keeping away the truth and covering a rogue, shall be punished. She shall be placed on house arrest. She shall not be allowed to move out of her room and if she does, her punishment shall be upgraded and she shall be put in the prison. She is not allowed to use her powers for whatever reason, not even when she is faced with danger. If she does, she shall be put in solitary confinement where a few of the rogues have been chained. Any move of escape from her side shall not be overlooked. She shall be banished for any attempt of escape. That is my judgement on Anubis. And now to the human girl." The alpha passed his verdict loud enough for the whole pack to hear.
I was sad though for Amigo's death but at least, Anubis got to have a bigger share of my sorrow.
She didn't just lose a mate that was supposed to be mine, she lost her freedom.
At least I wouldn't get to see her face again for the rest of my life. With this punishment, she wouldn't even be able to have a husband.
Could the day get any better?
" And now to the human girl." The alpha said with a heavy breath that left the whole pack confused at his sudden soberness.
" Does he feel bad for having to punish her or what?" The female lycan beside me spat in anger.
The alpha closed his eyes and opened them back before speaking further.
" It's all left to you witches." I whispered under my breath.
Derrick
I really didn't know if my judgement was sane. In the whole of my life, I have never been as confused as I am today.
I had already come to a conclusion on Anubis' punishment but still confused on what exactly to do to the human girl.
I could not sentence her to death; definitely not. She wouldn't have killed Amigo if he hadn't attacked her like a rogue.
But at the same time.. wait a minute what was that?
I saw something walk into the court room but it wasn't walking. It looked like it was I don't know floating in the air?
It didn't have a face, just every other part of a body except a face. Even it's body looked decayed like it hadn't felt the warmth of the sun nor the cool of the night in so long.
It suddenly turned toward my direction and mysteriously, it grew a head. It had a sign on it's forehead. It looked like a triangle but instead of having all sides equal like a regular triangle, two of it's side were unequal.
It started floating toward me with speed but nobody reacted. Does that mean nobody else was seeing what I was seeing?
Wait, I know that sign. It's the mark that we always place as lycans on witches whenever we kill them. How did a witch come into the pack?
It's a dead witch obviously so, it has to be under the influence of the controlling spell.
As if knowing that I had known it's identity, it increased it's speed.
It came close to my face and stared at me for a while. I felt like it had looked deeply into my soul with it's dark green eyes.
Writer's POV
Derrick felt the cold breath of the witch on his face and just like magic, it walked into him. It happened so fast that he almost did not see what happened.
The witch took dominance in his soul and slowly, it took over his conscience, it took control of his body, it took control of his wolf, it took control of his thoughts, it took control of his mind.
It took control over his body.
Derrick's eyes went green for a minute before they settled down to their usual dark ones. This time, his eyes were even darker than before.
